REVIEWS

THE “ENGLISH REVIEW.”

Mr. Sydney Brooks gives a rather despairing account in the English Review of the loss of popularity in the United States of President Wilson, due in the main to his Mexican and Panama policies, and to the fact that he is not yet thoroughly known to the American people. Mr. Wilson, however, has begun with unpopularity in other situations, and has successfully made his position before the end. The leasehold system is explained by Mr. W. M. J. Williams, and to explain is to condemn in this connexion. The story he tells of the hardships of the system should reinforce the rising feeling against its injustice. The editor writes of the task of the Liberal Government in Ireland with a strong declaration for the exclusion of Ulster for an unlimited period—which would be limited, he believes, by the will of Ulster itself.

Again Mr. D. A. Wilson tells the story of the Arnold case, which has, he believes, destroyed the faith of millions in the East in the Privy Council as final court of appeal, and will lead to the demand that the Appeal Court shall be established in Delhi. The review, contains excellent stories by D. H. Lawrence and Aleister Crowley, an article by Lady Muir Mackenzie which gives a cheerful and new view of the effort which Portugal is making to regenerate itself, much good poetry, and articles on art, the theatre, and books.
