...Harvard "Union Now" Committee met in Eliot House Common Room last night, but Hitler and Mussolini met in the Alps five months ago. The Committee hopes that it can stir up enthusiasm for Streit's inter-democracy union by broad-casting the ideals of the plan,--the end of war and depression and the widening of individual liberties. Apparently, however, the members of the Committee have been spending their time reading "Union Now" pamphlets and have neglected current headlines. They cannot hope to sell Streit's plan by stressing its sure peace angle when the war is getting bloodier every...

...book itself represents considerable sound thinking, but it is occasionally marred by pedagogical and moralistic passages. Furthermore, Streit does not prove that the League of Nations failed because it was a confederation, and not because America refused to join it. He does not demonstrate conclusively that the federation will endure after the crisis is over. He does not show that Hilter's defeat can be made more certain by his plan than by our present policy. Despite these obvious short-comings, however, Clarence Streit's proposal is the most complete and workable program for the post-war world that...
