“The book contains a great amount of concrete information, such as we require when trying to understand a foreign country. In fact, the whole book is valuable if the reader allows for the author’s bias. The account of radical political movements is particularly good.”

DENNETT, TYLER.[[2]] Better world. *$1.50 Doran
20–8457
“In brief the contention of this book is that we must have a better world; that the proposed League of nations is far from the effective agency to produce it, although it is a long step in the direction indicated; that the Christian religion has in it the power to create the convictions and popular demands which alone will guarantee any organization of a better world or bring into being more just and democratic programs than the one now under such discussion.”—Bib World

“Mr Dennett is always worth reading because of the wealth of his personal experience and the freshness with which he presents his facts.
