Sir Frederick Pollock contributes an instructive article on "Methods of International Arbitration" to the current Law Quarterly Review. He points out, very reasonably, that some lawyers tend to exaggerate the anomalous character of inter- national law and of Arbitration Tribunals, and that in an ordinary jury case in a civil Court the verdict is often just as much a matter of compromise as is the decision of international arbitrators. Sir Frederick Pollock announces that he has ceased, after thirty-five years' admirable service, to edit the Law Quarterly Review, and that Mr. A. E. Randall will succeed kim.
