“Captain Goodhart recorded incidents he saw and heard, without prejudice, as a keen observer, with a fine sense of humor and of fairness. His diary is a very readable little book, containing much information that is quite valuable and entertaining. He holds no brief for either side.” Herman Bernstein

“Full of local touches and descriptions of life in Poland which make it very vivid. One cannot help wondering a little that in the publication of a diary of experiences by a representative of a government commission no reference is made to the final report of the commission.” M. A. Chickering

“Mr Goodhart has written a very interesting book on Poland which, though unassuming in form, will be of more help to the ordinary reader in understanding Polish conditions and Polish problems than many more elaborate works.”

GOODRICH, CARTER LYMAN. Frontier of control: a study of British workshop politics. *$2 (4c) Harcourt 331.1
20–20526
Industrial unrest today is less a matter of wages than of control of industry. It is a “straining of the spirit of man to be free.” The author went to England to study the present extent of workers’ control in British industry and the book states the facts of his findings without generalizations. R. H. Tawney writes a foreword to the book in which he states the task the author has set himself to do as: “the analysis of industrial relationships, of the rules enforced by trade unions and employers’ associations, of the varying conditions which together constitute ‘the custom of the trade’ in each particular industry, and of the changes in all these which took place during the war.” The book falls into two parts: Introduction: The demand for control; and The extent of control. Some of the chapters under the latter are: The frontier of control; Employment; Unemployment; “The right to a trade”; “The right to sack”; The choice of foremen; Special managerial functions. There is a note on sources and an index.
