The National Review.
Mr. Maxse this month devotes much of his space to a full reprint of what he calls "The Unanswerable Dispatch," that is, the reply of M. Poincare to Lord Curzon's dispatch on the Ruhr. It may be wondered whether any French journal would do the like for a foreign State paper. Senator Enrico Corradini,divussing "English Liberalism and its Transforma- tions Abroad," presents a metaphysical apology for Fascismo. Mr. H. W. Wilson, writing on Our Changed Conditions of Defence," assumes that we are helpless before aerial attacks,
And Mr. J. J. Chapman, in an article on "East and West,"
suggests that Asia may assail Europe, wildly exaggerating the strength of the small and ill-equipped Turkish army. Mr. Gerald B. Hurst pleads for "The Reform of Trade Unior. Law," to protect the many trade unionists who are not Socialists from having to contribute to Socialist party funda. and to protect the community from the misuse of trade union power. Mr. W. Roberts prints some highly interesting ex- tracts from the hitherto unpublished diary of Robert Nicholas, who sat for Cricklade from 1784 to 1790, and then got a comfortable place in the Excise.
