 Index to Periodicals I and the Swiss cantons contains a permanent arbitration clause to be binding on the subjects of both high contracting parties "The notion of private war was the outcome of false conceptions. The notion of public war, or of war, to employ the term which is always used, rests likewise on a false foundation. It must be driven out by the aid of reason."

"The Enforcement Provisions of the Sherman Law." By Prof. Ernest Freund. Journal of Political Economy, v. 20, p. 462 (May). "We are reminded of the history of railroad rate regulation. After the courts had pro claimed the principle of reasonableness, they attempted to apply it; but they were not equal to the task, and eventually it had to be committed to an administrative commission. And so, in the matter of trusts, judicial regulation will merely point and open the way for regulative legislation, to be administered by way of guid ance and prevention. When the historian of the future comes to survey the evolution of the anti-trust legislation in the United States, he will record the futility and failure of the attempt to deal with difficult economic problems through criminal punishment; but he will also see therein another illustration of the astonishing flexibility of equitable jurisdiction, which here as so often before has anticipated statutory reform, and which has enabled the United States to cope with certain powerful organizations at a time when all other nations stood helpless before trusts and syndicates. And he will conclude that the framers of the Sherman act builded better than they knew." •"The Powder Trust, 1872-1912." By Wil liam S. Stevens. 26 Quarterly Journal of Eco nomics 444 (May).
