BIBLIOGRAPHY
Most of the statistical facts of primary commercial importance are to be found in the annual volumes of the Statistical Abstract of the United Kingdom. A useful compilation is offered by William A. Paton, *The economic position of the United Kingdom, 1912-1918, Washington, 1919, Bur. of For. and Dom. Commerce, Misc. Series no. 96.
Of the publications of the Carnegie Peace Endowment the following pay special attention to the United Kingdom: vol. 11, B. H. Hibbard, Effects upon agriculture; vol. 18, C. W. Baker, Government control and operation of industry; vol. 7, F. L. McVey, Financial history; vol. 4, F. H. Dixon and J. H. Parmelee, War administration of the railways; vol. 14, M. B. Hammond, British labor conditions and legislation. J. A. Salter, Allied Shipping Control, Oxford, 1821, is the first of a British series of publications of the Carnegie Peace Endowment which promises to make important contributions to our knowledge of the war period. Howard L. Gray, War time control of industry: the experience of England, N. Y., 1918, is accepted by competent British critics as an excellent presentation of the subject.
The British Association for the Advancement of Science stimulated inquiries into “Labour, finance and the war,” which have been edited by A. W. Kirkaldy and published under that title.
The National Civic Federation published a report on The labor situation in Great Britain and France, N. Y., 1919, which aimed to describe impartially conditions and policies. In the writings of G. D. H. Cole (Labour in war time, London, 1915, etc., etc.) will be found a vigorous criticism of the existing system; for a corrective see L. L. Price, Mr. Cole on labour problems, Economic Journal, June, 1919, 29: 186-201. Space is lacking here for reference to the many publications on Whitley Councils, Gild Socialism, etc., and to the various aspects of “reconstruction.” A brief report entitled Economic reconstruction, from the Bureau of For. and Dom. Commerce, Misc. Series no. 73, Washington, 1918, attends particularly to commerce and commercial policy, and is relatively full on the United Kingdom; it can if necessary be made to serve as a substitute for the full report of Lord Balfour of Burleigh’s committee on commercial and industrial policy [Cd. 9035], which was published in the parliamentary set for 1918, vol. 13, with an extensive report on shipping and other reports on special industries.
