The War and the NWion. By NV . C. D.
WIrnham (I Murray. Cs not..)—In this a'ole and attractive book Mr. Whotharn suggests a whole series of administrative, financial, and economic measures that might help the nation to recover quickly after the war. His point of view, ho soya, is that of " Constructive Toryism," but no party label seems to fit so broad.rnimbed a reformer. Ho writes very sen- sibly about agriculture, insisting that the landowner and the farmer shall be required to make good uss of the land " which they hold ie trust for the nation," and thst the position of the labourer must be greatly and permanently improved. He advocates State control of thecoalmines and the railways, a graduated Income Tax favouring the fathers of largo families, and other interesting and still more controversial policies.
