Universal Peace. By Victor Hugo Duras, D. C. L.

New York: Broadway Publishing Company, 1908. 186

pages.

Written by one who has distinguished himself as a student of internationalism, this book is readable and

suggestive. It is at once a historical introduction to the

present international situation and an interpretation of it. The point of view of the author is well summarized in a sentence which is taken from his introductory chapter. It is that " Universal Peace is possible only by the establishment of a system of international govern ment." The following are the headings of his chapters : ? Principles of the Nations,"

" The State," " Univer

sal Empire " and " Government." Under " Universal

Empire " he considers such topics as the World State,

the United.Nations of America, the United Nations of

Europe and the United Nations of the World, which indi cate the steps by which a complete system of international

government may be reached. Under " Government "

he takes up the International Court, the International Parliament and the International Executive as natural divisions of the constitutional government of the world. In dealing with the last two of these subjects he draws

largely for his analogies upon the history of the devel opment of the American Congress and of the authority of the President of the United States. He believes that

ultimately some central power will be given to one man, and thinks that the Federal Council of Switzerland would be a good model for a board of counselors to act with the President, who might be appointed by an electorate of rulers. The book is well printed, handsomely bound and contains a portrait of the author.
