TAze Wal Wal Arbitration. BY PITMAN B. POTTER. Washing- toIl, D.C.: Carnegie Endoxvnlent for International Peace. 1938. 182 pp.
PROF£SSOR POTTER was oIle of the albitrators appointed l)Y the Empelol of Abyssinia to settle the Wal Wal frontiel incident nndel Article V of the Treaty of 1828 between Italy and Abyssillia. lIe describes the case as ' an illuminating clinical study in the organization and practice of allitration alxd in the organization and practice of pacific settlement in gelleral '-an OptiliOll whic} may not conumand general assent in view of the extraordinary circumstanoes of the proceedings. But most will agree with Professor Potter, who paTf qnBxwa fit, that the decision of the Com- mission absolving both l£llwties from direct responsibility for the incident was in itself a victor for orderly )rocedure inasmuch as it acquitted £1 weak defendant of a charge pressed vigorously and unscrupulously by a powerful plaintiff. The victory was not a final one, but the unanimous decision of the CommissioIl remains z fact of both historical and legal sit,llificnnce. The volume, which i8 preceded by a restrained but certainly not ambiguous introduction by Professor Pottel, mproduces the various documents connected with the initiatioll and the progress of the pro- ceedings of the arbitral Commissioll.
InternationaI Survey of Decisions on Labout law, 1936-1937. GENeVa. 1938, 581 PP. (10 Swiss Francs.)
THIS Series, which is now well established, reproduces digests of or extracts from decisions on labour and industrial law given by the Courts in Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, alld the United States. The Series has abundantly proved its usefulness nof only for the comparative 6tudy of the law of master and servant, but also for the purpose of the various laboul conventions concluded under the allspices of the Interna fiollal Labour Organization. The contributions from Germany and Italy are not only of considerable political and sociological interest; in many cases their legal value flom the comparative l)oint of view seems to be unaffected by the special structure of totalitarian legislation and adminis- fration of jilStiCe. It i8 to be hoped that there will be llo curtailment of this aspect of the work of the research section of the Organizatioll. An Index less tudimelltary than those ill the present and in the preceding volumes would greatly enhance their usefulness.
