:1 Were France, by Mr. Gabriel Wells, published at the Garden City Press, New York. His proposal, briefly, is that the League of Nations should make a dispassionate revision of treaties in a _spirit of equity, and that if this were done, America should remit all her claims arising out of the War. This contains much in little : we fear the world is not ready for Mr.: Wells's solution of our troubles, but that is no reason why thoughtful men should not weigh his proposals.
