The Economic Foundations of Peace

By J. L. GARVIN

Editor of the London "Observer"

The League of Nations is conceived by the writer as an edifice with two wings, the economic and the political. Many main problems of both interests are passed under review, but the single purpose of the author is to explain and illustrate the growing economic problems of world partnership.

The Economic World Before the War, Economic Consolidation Between the Allies and America, The Food Basis of European Stability, The Coming of a League, Labor and the League, "Economic Justice," An Economic Study of Russian Reconstitution, America and the League, The Question of Free Trade, The Future of Armaments as Affected by the Preventive and Creative. Use of Economic Power, Britain and America-these and many other topics are discussed in this important work.

"The Economic Foundations of Peace" is a timely and accurate analysis of world conditions and perhaps the most far-reaching discussion of the subject that has yet been gathered into a single. volume.

Problems of Reconstruction

By ISAAC LIPPINCOTT, Associate Professor of Economics, Washington University. $1.60.

"From an industrial point of view the nations at war are confronted with two groups of problems. Stated briefly, the first group contains questions of concentrating industrial effort largely on war production, of diverting men, materials and financial resources to the essential industries and of curtailing the operations of all the rest, of regulating commerce with foreign countries, and of forumlating policies and methods for the accomplishment of these ends. In short, this is principally a question of development of war control with all this implies. The second group of problems arises out of the first. It involves such questions as the dissolution of the war organization, the removal of the machinery of control, the restoration of men, funds, and materials to the industries which serve the uses of peace, and the reestablishment of normal commercial relations with the outside world. The latter are post-war problems. Their prompt solution is necessary because the war has turned industrial and social life into new channels, and because it will be necessary for us to restore the normal order as quickly as possible. These brief statements outline the task of this volume."
