Bolce, Harold. New internationalism. **$1.50. Appleton.
7–6637.
The financial and commercial amalgamation of the nations is the central theme of Mr. Bolce’s discussion. The following comparison between this book and Miss Jane Addams’ “Newer ideals of peace” is enlightening: “Mr. Bolce is material; Miss Addams spiritual. He puts his trust in the development of international trade; she detects the development of cosmopolitan friendship. One sees, in the financiers and merchants, the architects of the new internationalism; the other finds among the feeblest immigrants the harbingers of the new ideals. But the books are complementary, not contradictory.” (Ind.)
“The book is scrappy and somewhat superficial, but clever, interesting and emphasizes a note that needs emphasis at the present time, that of reciprocity and the economic interdependence of modern nations.”

“Though written primarily for English readers, it has interest for American students of the subject, but it does not pretend to be a book for experts. If it can lay claim to no striking merits, the volume is also free from striking defects.”

“There is nothing visionary or academic about Mr. Bolce’s economics. His sympathies are all with the men who do things, and he thinks them competent to teach the closet theorists.”
