In view of the importance of the Government's decision to
sign the Optional Clause of the World Court at The Hague we have devoted our first leading article to the subject, and we have omitted this week our usual League of Nations page. Next week we shall publish on that page a special article by Mr. C. Delisle Burns, MA., D.Litt., who holds the Daniel Stevenson Chair of Citizenship at Glasgow University. Mr. Burns has just returned from a visit to the United States, where he has been giving lectures in the Middle West, in Chicago and in the Eastern States. He records his " impressions "—disclaiming any wish to dogmatize or to be the mouthpiece of authoritative opinion— of the American attitude with regard to the League of Nations and the whole movement towards world-construction.
The SPECTATOR also includes this week a special study of the Garden City Idea by Sir William Beach Thomas—in connec- tion with " Civic Week " at Welwyn—which is the more interest- ing coming as it does from one who avows himself a convert to the new movement. Finally those of our readers who cannot resist the temptation of alluring investments on the Stock Exchange may find food for thought in " The Bait of the Shilling Share," an article on page 62 by our City Editor, Mr. Arthur W. Kiddy.
