The third yearly issue of the 13ritish Year Book of
International Law (H. Frowde and Hodder and Stoughton, 16s. net) contains a number of valuable papers. Lord Finlay contributes a memoir of the late Sir H. Erie Richards, whose paper on "Contraband"
i
comes first. Mr. Malcolm Lewis discusses "The International Status of the British Self-Governing Dominions "—a difficult subject of which we shall hear more as the years pass; Sir Cecil Hurst writes on "The Territoriality of Bays " ; Mr. C. L. Bullock has an historical study of " Augary," the old belligerent practice by virtue of which we took over a large part of the Dutch merchant marine during the later stages of the War. Mr. Ronald F. Roxburgh examines the controversy about sub- marines at Washington. Lord Phillimore gives an interesting account of the proposals made by the Committee of Jurists in 1920 for the establishment of an International Criminal Court to try cases of crime committed during war. Such a court is much needed.
