Permanent Court of International Justice. Second Annual Report. Publications of the Court, Series E, No. 2. Leyden: A. W. Sijthoff Publishing Company. pp. 369.

This report covers the activities of the Permanent Court of International Justice from June 15, 1925, to June 15, 1926. Its contents follow in outline the plan of the first annual report, which was reviewed in this JOURNAL for October, 1925 (Vol. 19, p. 844). The volume contains a resumé of the judgments delivered and advisory opinion given by the Court during the period covered, and the texts of all the administrative decisions rendered since the foundation of the Court. Three chapters relate to the organization of the Court, its statutes and rules; two others deal with the jurisdiction of the Court as determined by various treaties and international agreements. A bibliography of over 150 pages of publications and articles relating to the Court augments and brings up to date the similar bibliography printed in the first annual report. The present report gives a complete record of the activities of the Court and the changes in its organization during the annual period 1925-1926.

Cuestiones Internacionales, Economicas, Politicas y Sociales. By Antonio José Uribe. Bogota: Libreria Colombiana, 1925. pp. xiii, 302.

The eminent statesman and publicist of Colombia has here published a collection of articles written by him at various times, including some of his addresses in the Colombian Senate and as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The first part of the book relating to international questions comprises about two-thirds of the volume. Among the subjects included are the treaty of 1914 between the United States and Colombia; territorial questions with Panama, Ecuador and Peru, Brazil, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and with the United States growing out of the separation of Panama; the law of nations; the treaty between Colombia and the United States and the question of petroleum, written on the occasion of the Fall investigation by the Senate; the territorial sea of Colombia; the League of Nations and the Pan American Union; and the codification of international law by the American Institute of International Law.

Selected Documents and Material for the Study of International Law and Relations. With introductory chapters. By John Eugene Harley. Revised and enlarged edition. Los Angeles: Times-Mirror Press, 1926. pp. xviii, 422. Index.

The purpose of the author "is to supply the student and instructor with the actual texts of important documents illustrative of the most recent thinking and practice in world relations," and the material gives special

emphasis to international organization and international peace. The documents included relate to the pacific settlement of international disputes, the Covenant of the League of Nations and the Washington Conference on Limitation of Armament and Pacific and Far Eastern Questions. An extended review of the complete contents of the original edition of 1923 appeared in this JOURNAL for April, 1924 (Vol. 18, page 388). The present edition is a reprint of the first edition, with the addition of eleven pages at the end, giving the texts of the Final Protocol of the Locarno Conference of 1925, the Treaty of Mutual Guarantee signed at the same conference, the draft collective note to Germany regarding Article 16 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, and the resolution of the United States Senate advising and consenting to the adherence of the United States to the Permanent Court of International Justice. Footnotes have been inserted showing the dates of going into effect of the amendments to Articles 12, 13 and 15 of the League of Nations Covenant.

La Cour Permanente de Justice Internationale. By Antonio Sánchez de Bustamante y Sirvén. Traduit de l'espagnol par Paul Goulé. Paris: Recueil Sirey, 1925. pp. iv, 367.

This is a French translation from the Spanish of the volume which was reviewed in English translation under the title The World Court in this JOURNAL for April, 1926 (Vol. 20, page 401). Although both the French and the English translation bear the imprint of the year 1925, the English translation contains eight more sections than the French translation, the former having evidently been brought up to date immediately before publication by the inclusion of sections dealing with the tenth and eleventh advisory opinions of the Court on the subject of the exchange of Greek and Turkish populations and the Polish postal service in Danzig, and with the judgment on the merits in the Mavrommatis concessions case, the decision and later developments in the interpretation of the Treaty of Neuilly in regard to Bulgarian reparation payments, and the decision relating to certain German interests in Polish Upper Silesia.
