...Washington Treaty was signed by the United States of America, France, Italy, Japan and Great Britain. Up to date, the British Government has not received from any of the other signatories of the treaty any protest or observation whatever tending to show that they have the slightest notion that Great Britain is not carrying out her side according to the letter and the spirit. I presume that all these governments cannot have sunk into a condition of coma, nor that they are all completely indifferent to the interests of the countries they govern, so that it was left...
...drastic ultimatum to Egypt, Britain made it evident that she intends to govern and stay in Egypt and prevent the Sudan from retrogressing into the savagery from which Lord Kitchener rescued it in 1898. The terms savor, some opinion has claimed, of opportunism. This may be true, but Britain had evidently reached the end of her patience.

He therefore usually accepts the advice of his ministers, dissolves Parliament when requested, gives his assent to laws.* But it remains an incontrovertible fact that he is legally within...
...PRIVATE LIFE OF Louis XV-Mouffle d'Angerville (Translated by H.S.Mengard)-Boni & Liveright ($3.50). Spicy is the adjective which must govern this book. It shows how the people of Paris, tired of the wicked Regency, welcomed the young King with open arms, and how they came to detest him. In the main, it is the story of Louis' amours, piquant, authoritative and amusing. The translation itself has considerable merit...
