...Case's study of George Moore's criticism of Hardy disappointing. He has a good subject, and he could have made out of it either an amusing character study or a serious piece of literary criticism. Unfortunately be has done neither. He does not stick close enough to his main points, nor does he develop his ideas as fully as they deserve; the result is that his essay stagnates; it never comes to life. This is not true of the other critical work in this issue, the book reviews. These are on the whole, excellent. Mr. Stanford's criticism...

They hamper the production of red blood cells and choke off those which...
Skoda, although its main works are in Brno (which was once on Austrian territory), has factories scattered not only over Czechoslovakia but over Poland and Rumania as well. Upon the board of Skoda, which the Union Europeenne controls through 56 per cent of its stock, M. Schneider sits with his friend Andre Vicaire, Director General of Schneider-Creusot; his brother-in-law, Arnold de Saint-Sauveur; Eduard Benes, who, as Czechoslovakia's Foreign Minister, takes second place to no one in the vocal support he lends to the League of Nations; teresting to note in view of later facts, very...
