Then, too, editor Schwarzenberger writes more than half of the reviews,
not of course any of those of his own Institute. Skilful, sympathetic, and
adequate as is his work, one doubts the need for such extensive contri,

This little book of readings contains the texts, rather than a secondary
rehash, of certain major documents on international organization. Except
for the League of Nations Covenant, none of the documents antedate 1941.
The first three parts are concerned with the background of the United
Nations, the Charter, and the International Court of Justice. The fourth
and last part contains the texts of regional pacts. The most obvious
omission is the Dumbarton Oaks Proposals. Annexes are inserted appro-
priately in the body of the book, ranging from the &dquo;Draft Declaration on
Rights and Duties of States,&dquo; to the &dquo;Provisional Staff Regulations&dquo; of
the United Nations Secretariat. Many users of the book will find the
annexes especially useful since they are less readily available elsewhere
than are the major documents.
As a handy compilation of United Nations information this book
is without a Deer. - - -

day account of Soviet and Communist...
