THE LEAGUE YEAR BOOK, 1932
In his foreword to The League Year Book, 1932 (First Annual Edition, Nicholson and Watson, 12s. 6d.), Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary General of the League of Nations, welcomes it as " giving an admirable and rzasonably complete view of the organization and work of the League." Readers may consequently be confident of finding, not League propa- ganda (except in so far as knowledge of its work and methods is the best propaganda the League can have) but an accessible and reliable account of its activities in all its branches, SIR luding the Permanent Court of International Justice and the International Labour Office. About eighty pages are devoted to the recent Sino-Japanese dispute and the Dis- armament Conference which opened on February 2nd, 1932 ; the book is therefore as up to date as any one could reasonably expect. It is perhaps unnecessary to fill 100 pages with the names of members of the secretariat and of the various com- missions, and some seventy pages with selected bibliography, in a book which it is intended to produce yearly.
