["The Piccadilly Ghost," by Erle
Spencer; Hodder and Stough ton 7/6.]
To be the heir to a large fortune
and then to find it was non-exist- ent would break most men but this did not occur to Stephen Mallowes. He obtained post as reporter on the staff of the "Daily Cry" with uvery intention of making a success of it. He did, and how he made his name is written in this present volume In such a manner AS to make most pleasant aid at the same time thrilling reading.
"The Piccadilly Ghost" is proved by Stophen, helped by beginners luck, to be a person the police bave been after for years.
"The Exquisite Lady." by Gerard Fairlie; Hodder and Stoughtou 7.6.J
Jan Murray, having spent two long years travelling round the world, arrives at Southampton and spends his first evening at a small village, Bitterne, where he hears news of a peculiar professor living in the neighbourhood.
He arrives in London, visits his bank and finds his account over- diawn as a result of forgeries on the part of his cousin. He also reads a letter addressed to Mr. Murray which refers to the profes- scr and contains information con- cerning a scientific secret. The next news is that the professor has been murdered and then Ian Murray's adventures begin.
He certainly does have adven- tures which are well worth reading and make an excellent book.

Self-determina- tion. is an Imperative prin- ciple which statesmen will bence- forth ignore at their peril.”
These principles, states Herr Kleinwacchter, were accepted by the people of the United States, as representing its official atti- tude, "and these principles were also accepted by the Austro- Hungarian Monarchy." This is an altogether remarkable and naive interpretation of President Wilson's address. Does Herr Kleinwaechter
honestly believe that when Wilson spoke of "viola- tions of right". he was referring to violations against Austria? Was not the marching of the Ger- man army across Belgium rather in his mind?
War Guilt
The question of, war guilt is one that will always have differ- Herr Klein- ent aspects, but wacchter surely takes a great deal for granted when he asserts that the victors "overlooked the fact that the assertion of the guilt of the German people, for the War. the moral justi- which furnished fication for the merciless condi- tions of peace, cannot be main- tained for all eternity. The his- torians of all nations already know that that assertion was a lic, and the people themselves will soon know it.' It is no justifica- say that the tion, surely, to hatred against everything Cerraan required that, among, all the Aus- trian nationalities, the Germans should be chosen to bear the res- ponability for the War," or to declare very auccessfully, let it be said in his book.

Then, because under Article 88 of the Treaty of St. Germain, it was provided that "the indepen- dence of Austria is inalienable otherwise than with the consent of the Council of the League of Nations." President Wilson's trust, says the author, was most cruelly betrayed, and the Treaty was a "mockery of the proclaimed right of j self-determination." The purpose
of the Article, he alleges, was to render impossible the union with the German Kelch upon which Gorman Austria had resolved, and "it is typical of the victors' insin- Perity that they did not dare for- bid the Union of German Austria with Germany in so many words, but rather veiled the prohibition with the pretence of maintaining Austria's independence."
Chronicle of Self-Pity Herr Kleinwarehter's book is a chronicle of self-pity and is cer- tainly not based upon the true facts. He is clearly no historian, but an emotional activist, whose one aim is to see Austria united with Germany, since she cannot, he declares, exist permanently as an independent State. and quires to be associated with a large economic area.
ré-
We have no indication whether Herr Kleinwaechter's attitude is representative of his country or whether the majority of Austrians themselves favour a political and economic union with Germany, Even supposing it were so, is Ger- many herself to have no voice in the matter? Union with Germany might be beneficent to Austria, but would it be so to Germany? At any rate it is significant that no appeal in the matter has been made to the League of Nations by these $wo countrics.
