This volume of the Publications of the Carnegie endowment for international peace is a companion to the two volumes of cases which precede it. It has been prepared in the belief that the experience of the United States holds “a lesson for the world at large.” As the editor’s preface states: “The experience of the union of American states shows that a court of justice can be created for the society of nations, occupying a like position and rendering equal, if not greater, services, applying to the solution of controversies between its members ‘federal law, state law, and international law, as the exigencies of the particular case may demand.’” The volume is indexed.

“The absence of any classification enhances the uselessness of the volume. By abstracting from its setting the material he presents, Dr Scott offers a delusive palliative to a sick and suffering world. He would have done better had he done nothing.” T: R. Powell
