Mr. Herbert Agar writes somewhat dolefully on ," Anglo-American Friend- ship," which, he thinks, needs to be cultivated with more vigour. It may be suggested that Mr. Agar underrates what is being done by a myriad agencies on both sides of the Atlantic, and that he exaggerates the separateness of the American language—or form of English—which is by no means evident to at least one constant reader of American news- papers, magazines and books. Canon Pym's demand for "A Staff for the Church of England " reflects the difficulties of a diocesan missioner, but will hardly win much support ; some clergy and many laymen think that there is already too much organization. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Carswell describe frankly what they regard as " The Crisis in Criticism." -
