The United States and the League, the Labour Organisation and the World Court during 1940. By ARTHUR SWEETSER. Geneva Research Studies, Vol. XI, No. 8, 1940. Geneva Research Centre, Geneva. 1940. ($0.40, or 1.75 Swiss francs.)
As usual, the Geneva Research Centre presents its annual review of the relation8 between the United States and the League, including its various technical branches. An account is given of the participation of the United States in the work of the various League institutions, especially in connection with the Economics and Financial Departments, now partly evacuated to Princeton, the Opium Advisory Committee, the International Labour Office, at present installed at Montreal, and the Permanent Court. . L.
Article XIX of the Covenant of the League of Nations. By PITMAN B. POrTER. Geneva Studies, Vol. XII, No. 2, 1941. Geneva Research Centre. 98 pp. ($0.40, or 1.75 Swiss francs.)
In this study Professor Potter presents a survey of the background, the origins, and the operation of Article XIX of the Covenant, consecrating the principle of treaty revision. The attempts to apply the article, all of which proved unsuccessful, are carefully examined. In conclusion, the author discusses, with a view to future improvements, the reasons which contributed to its failure. These reasons are to be found in the requirement of unanimity in the Assembly vote, the absence of appropriate organisation and procedure, the lack of authority, both legal and physical, in the League, and the preference for the more familiar methods of diplomacy and power politics. The book will prove useful to students of League procedure, and to all those interested in international organization.
