The June number, our notice of which has been accidentally
delayed, contains a lucid exposition of "The Imperial Pro- blem " which is in effect an earnest plea for the maintenance of the unity of the Empire. "What the world needs now is not more self-determination, more Balkanization, but some measure of unity." "If the nations of the British Commonwealth cannot resist the Balkanizing tendency and maintain their unity, what hope is there of the League of Nations ,giving unity to nations divided by race, language and
colour ? But union, as the writer goes on to emphasize, implies an acceptance of the obligations of partnership, which is the reverse of the selfish and foolish doctrine of " Ourselves alone." Other articles on Kenya, on American politics and on the agricultural question in Great Britain deserve attention.
