The Round Table. No. 15. (Macmillan and Co. 2s.
This admirable political quarterly continues to preserve its high standard of interest. The article on domestic affairs is mainly devoted to an historical commentary on the recent development of the Irish question, from Mr. Churchill's militant speech at Bradford to the third reading of the Home Rule Bill. A final section analyses the Budget, and points out that the " revolutionary " financial measures of the present Government must lead to "great extravagance and waste among public departments." The opening article is an exhaustive discussion of "Naval Policy and the Pacific Question," from the Australian as well as the British point of view. "The naval policy adopted by the Defence Con. ference of 1909 has entirely broken down," and we have still to attain a permanent solution of the problem of keeping peace in the Pacific. There are also articles on the position of Indians in South Africa and the South African Constitution, besides the usual review of affairs in the other Colonies.
