REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



69? 



of these men are workers who belong 

 to great unions which are becoming- 

 more and more fraternally allied to each 

 other throughout Europe, irrespective of 

 frontiers and national limitations. These 

 unions have again and again declared 

 their abhorrence of war, and deplored 

 the ever nicreasing preparation for it. 

 The tune may come when the workers 

 of Europe will refuse absolutely to 

 take up arms for the purpose of slaugh- 

 tering one another in other people's 

 quarrels, of which they have no know- 

 ledge, and about which they have never 

 been consulted. It becomes more and 

 more evident that the permanent peace 

 of the world is more likely to be brought 

 about by those who work for their 

 daily bread than by all the efforts of 

 the greatest diplomatists. 



The New York Sun depicts the general 

 feeling, not only in America, but 

 throughout the world, about the recent 

 outrages which have discredited organ- 

 ised labour in the States. Mr. Pierpont 

 Morgan has created quite a stir by his 

 evidence before the Investigation Com- 

 mittee in New York. It was published 

 in detail in the newspapers, headed " A 

 Sermon by Pierpont Morgan." The 

 Daily Herald is hardly happy ni its 

 cartoon dealing with the long overdue 

 increase m pay Mr. Churchill recently 

 introduced in the Navy. No award was 

 made last year of the Nobel Pea^e 

 Prize. The Committee state that no one 

 could be found whose efforts in the 

 cause of Peace warranted its presenta- 

 tion. It is now well-known that my 

 father had been selected as its recipient 

 in 191 2. He would have had it before, 

 but candidates for the Prize had for- 

 merh- to nominate themselves, which he 

 always refused to do. 



The National Revieiu, published in 

 Hong Kong, gives some idea of the 

 real progress that is being made in 

 China. Bribery, corruption and graft 

 are shown as having short shrift since 

 the new President is firmly in office. 



The redoubtable William Jennings 

 Bryan, who ran thrice for President 

 of the United States, and entirely con- 

 trolled the Convention which nominated 

 Mr. Wilson, is the delight of the car- 



toonist. Sir George Reid's departure- 

 must be a severe blow to " Hop " and
