	ADDY SIDNEY OLDALL Church and Manor : A Study in English Economic History George Allen, U.K. 1913. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 473 pages + frontispiece, including Index & 40 figures/plans. According to the Preface 'OF late years various books relating to the unit of English territorial organisation known as the manor have appeared. Two or three of these deal with short periods, such as the eleventh or the thirteenth century, and the late Mr. Seebohm, in a masterly investigation, has surveyed a considerable part of the field. Notwithstanding the good work that has been done, an essential part of the subject has been omitted, or misunderstood. The manor and the ecclesiastical benefice have been regarded as entirely independent things. But the economic history of medieval England will gain much in simplicity if it can be shown that lord and priest were once the same person; that the hall cannot at an early time be distinguished from the church; and that ecclesiastical benefices were themselves manors, with all the privileges which belonged to feudal lordship. No treatment of the economic history of these islands can be satisfactory unless it includes the church-building and the benefice within its scope. To describe the scattered acres of the open fields, with all the complicated belongings of the village community, and yet leave out the building near which the frail and mud-built houses of the inhabitants were gathered, is to omit the chief point of interest, for the church was not only the place of worship but also the seat of local government. It has been thought desirable to treat the evidence from architecture, as found in existing remains or referred to in documents, in considerable detail, because, if it can be proved that the church-fabric was evolved from the hall or lord's dwelling, a strong presumption arises, on that ground alone, that the benefice was the manor...'

	AIMS FOR FREEDOM AND ENTERPRISE Age of the Gulag Aims for Freedom and Enterprise, U.K. 1977. Paper Covers. Near Fine/No Jacket. 12 page pamphlet which chronicles the sufferings of those exposed to Soviet Communism. "It shows, for example, that the freeing of serfs under the Czar was replaced by a more bitter serfdom - which applied to the population of the USSR, and Central and Eastern Europe. The cost in human pain, misery, death and starvation was incalculable. The cost should be remembered as the Soviet Union "celebrates" its 60th anniversary. But it is a cost that was not just of the past - but of the present and future. It is the cost of Communism". Pamphlet - Printed in red Near Fine. Dust Jacket - None. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm.

	ALLAUN FRANK No Place Like Home : Britain's Housing Tragedy (from the victims' View ) and How to Overcome it Andre Deutsch, U.K. 1972. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine /Very Good ++/Near Fine /Very Good ++. 208 pages. There have been many good books about housing conditions in Great Britain. But this is the first in which the people themselves tell their own story : what it's like to live in a place where toadstools grow out of the walls; or where rats gnaw the clothing; or where four families share a single tap; or for old people on the top of a brand new tower block where the lift doesn't work; or where green mould appears on the new plasterwork. What it's like to be one of over eleven million people living in these conditions in Britain today. (Hopefully, as this was written back in 1972 things have improved greatly).

' The publishers have decided to issue a new Edition of The Great Illusion, extensively revised by the author, not only because the book is now a classic which provoked one of the greatest political controversies of the century, but because the questions it raised are still the fundamental questions underlying the gravest of our present problems, and still most imperfectly understood. Itis impossible to discuss competently or thoroughly such matters as disarmament, international finance, debts, reparations, the League, tariffs, economic nationalism, without considering just those points which The Great Illusion discussed with such simplicity, clarity and force as to send the book in a few years over the civilised world and to compel its translation into twenty-five languages. The First Principles which The Great Illusion simplified as they have never been simplified before, are still the First Principles upon the better understanding of which our only hope of bringing order out of our present chaos depends '.

	ATKINSON, RODNEY Fascist Europe Rising : The Repression And Resurgence Of Democratic Nations Compuprint Publishing, UK, 2001. First Edition, Card Covers. Near Fine ( Better Than Very Good)/No Dust Jacket. Size: 8.25 inches tall by 5.75 inches. 213 pages & 17 page index & 4 page catalogue. ‘As the constitution of the Danish people rightly asserts "It is by law you build the land" and no other regime in world history has achieved so much imperial conquest by merely generating the law to build their land as has the so-called "European Union". The European Union extended that body of law to questions of "free movement of people" but the whole purpose of the free movement of capital is to make the movement of people largely unnecessary. It was the movement of people which interested them most, for that would more quickly break up the cohesion of the nation states. The Commission should not get carried away by the idea of transparency — it is necessary to learn to conceal aspects of information which give rise to bad interpretation. 'European Commission internal memorandum. Eastern Europe wants only to trade freely with the countries of Western Europe but the European Union forcefully prevents that, offering to remove trade barriers only when those nations surrender their hard won constitutional nationhood. In the modern era of the universal franchise each Parliament only represents (for its statutory term) the true sovereigns, the people. The end of sovereignty is the end of democracy. We do not speak of Californian fishing grounds because all the wealth in those grounds is an asset of the US Dollar. The step which really creates the European Superstate is the introduction of its currency — the Euro. Democrats know that you do not need a single currency to enjoy free trade. Dictators know that you cannot conquer countries without a single currency. Hitler destroyed Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia and created petty nationalist states in Slovakia and Croatia. German Europe has broken up Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, Slovakia driving out its gypsies, Croatia its Serbs and Albanian Kosovo its gypsies, Jews and Serbs. During the 1930s and 1940s, as today, there were few terms with which European Fascism was more happy than The New World Order reflecting as it does notions of power, global ambition, order (ie control) and contempt for democratic nationhood.’ Book - in Near Fine [better than Very Good] card covers.

	BAIG M R A In Different Saddles Asia Publishing House, Bombay, 1967. Copyright, Hard Cover. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/No Jacket. viii, 359 pages, size 8.5 inches tall by 5.5 inches, with an index. Illustrated with black and white plates. ' Rashid has had the advantage of a more varied career than most men. His book therefore recounts life as he lived it in widely contrasting situations and appointments beginning with his 14 years' stay in England. These years cover his life at a British public school, Clifton, and later his days at Sandhurst where he qualified for the Indian Army as it functioned in the time of the British raj. He recounts serenely but spiritedly the racial prejudices he encountered at Sandhurst and as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army. Life had also its agreeable, amusing and often educative aspects. Rashid's account of army life in old Hyderabad with its fast-vanishing dynasty and his later encounters with some personalities, known and unknown, in the Cantonments, cities and towns of India, throw a nostalgic light on those far off days. At Allahabad he had the pleasure and privilege of being a welcome guest in the home of the Nehrus, then dominated by the patriarchal, imperious, patrician figure of Motilal Nehru. Here he also met the late Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and other political personalities, and as he later discovered, became thereby suspect in the eyes of the British army authorities. Particularly interesting is the impact on him made by the care-free, mind-free life of the Army Officer of those days when brawn had precedence over brains and when any symptom of intellectual curiosity or interest was branded as political or queer. Along with racial prejudice this life of almost clinical mental torpor came eventually to repel Rashid who after some sustained thinking finally took the momentous decision of giving up his army life for a civilian career. Life in Calcutta and Bombay, where he moved largely in British and Indian commercial circles, comes in for some penetrating observations from his pen. Inevitably, his many-sided serious-minded interests led him into public and political activities. He was appointed Sheriff of Bombay at the early age of 36. For some valuable years he was closely associated with Mr. Jinnah in the capacity of an able aide and lieutenant. He finally broke away from the Quaid-i-Azam on the issue of Pakistan. Rashid, with his always questing outlook, began his politi cal apprenticeship and education at a comparatively early age. His account of Jinnah is based on a frank but friendly look into the complicated mind of that complicated man and is quite the most perceptive, thoughtful assessment I have read of the creator of Pakistan. With some of Rashid's activities in this period I happened to be associated, though largely from the periphery. Apart from his portrait of Jinnah, I think two of the finest, most sensitive and objective chapters in this book are on secularism and colonialism, two subjects which Rashid dissects in his characteristic open and analytical manner. The book is also valuable for its revealing portrait of Jawaharlal Nehru with whom Rashid first came in contact many years before Nehru's assumption of the Prime Minister-ship. As Chief of Protocol he was later brought into close contact at many points in Nehru's busy, eventful, official life as India's undisputed ruler. His accounts of the many famous personages he encountered during his term as Chief of Protocol are always sharp and often uninhibited. Rashid, with his natural eye for the pompous, the ludicrous and the absurd, found much to entertain him. But in some fields these contacts were educative and rewarding. His pen-pictures of contrasting personages such as Khrushchev, Chou En-lai. Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh make vivid, often colourful cameos. There are chapters also on his diplomatic life in such exotic places as Pondicherry, Goa, the Philippines and Iran where he finally concluded his official career. Here is something for everybody to enjoy and often to reflect on. It is a book of light and shadow, of the informal and starchily formal, of the serious and the comic and reflects a deeply intelligent, informed interest in men and events in many countries of the world, not least in India.

Sir Harold Bellman, widely acknowledged as an authority, reviews some outstanding problems of the day in business and politics. Here is no dry-as-dust professor, but an active participant in world affairs, with a sense of realities, and a gift of self-expression (seasoned by humour) on topics which intimately concern the man in the street. The subject-matter is distinguished by its widespread appeal and ranges from Britain's recent prosperity and the factors which shaped it to alcohol in relation to social welfare; from the new tools in Britain's recent economic technique to the problems of democracy; from the social responsibilities of accountants to the traditions and efficiency of the Civil Service. Housing, both as a medium of social well-being and as an economic stimulus, is given a special place. Moreover, reference is made to such topical matters as the present business recession, the significance of rearmament, and so forth '.

	BERKMAN ALEXANDER ABC of Anarchism Freedom Press, U.K. 1964. Third English Edition, Card Covers. Very Good/No Jacket. 99 pages in card covers.Our social institutions are founded on certain ideas; as long as the latter are generally believed, the institutions built on them are safe. Government remains strong because people think political authority and legal compulsion necessary. Capitalism will continue as long as such an economic system is considered adequate and just. The weakening of the ideas which support the evil and oppressive present-day conditions means the ultimate breakdown of government and capitalism. Progress consists in abolishing what man has outlived and substituting in its place a more suitable environments. The book carries a Publisher's Note - Berkman's original work was issued in America in 1929 under the title "What is Communist Anarchism?" It contained three parts headed "Now," "Anarchism" and "The Social Revolution". The book was reissued in 1936 by the Freie Arbeiter Stimme in New York with a new title "Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism". The present edition contains parts two and three of the original work: on grounds of expense Part One has been omitted. The text is otherwise that of the 1929 edition.

	BUTLER SIR HAROLD Confident Morning Faber & Faber, U.K. 1950. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good Plus Plus. 192 pages including index + frontispiece. According to the blurb: Sir Harold Butler's new book, autobiographical in form, is much more than a mere autobiography. Its purpose is to illustrate the contrast between the solid, self-assurance of the old order, which perished in 1914, and the alternating moods of fear and hope, which have since then overtaken the Western Democracies. The personal narrative ends with the Peace Conference and the birth of the International Labour Organization. in 1919... The present volume drawing richly on the author's later experiences to interpret the earlier. It uses the present to give perspective to the past - that thirty-year old past, which gave birth to our modern world. Sir Harold begins with an enchanting account of his boyhood in the unspoilt Oxford of the 1880s & 1890s. After a brilliant scholastic career ( about which he is modestly silent ) he lived for a time in Germany & France in order to equip himself for the Foreign Office. But the Foreign Office had no vacancies, so he found himself apprenticed to the public service in the Home Office, where he came under the dynamic sway of the youthful Mr. Churchill. Then Bleriot flew the Channel. This surprising event led to the first international conference in Paris on 'aerial navigation'. Young Butler (perhaps because he could speak French) found himself appointed secretary to the British Delegation. All this is told with wit & anecdote, & a delicious sense of comedy, through which runs a thread of increasingly serious comment. When the war came, Butler was marked down as an indispensable public servant. He was refused permission to go on active service with his regiment (the Inns of Court) & assigned to duty first on the blockade somewhere between the Home Office & the Foreign Office, & later in the newly born Ministry of Labour. Here he began to learn something about industrial problems, & when the Peace Conference came, was largely responsible for the creation of the I.L.O. Of his later distinguished career, as Director of the I.L.O. & of the services he rendered during the Second World War, there is no need for his publishers to speak.

	CARY JOYCE Case for African Freedom Secker and Warburg, U.K. 1944. New Edition Revised and Enlarged, Hard Cover. Very Good/Good Plus. 158 pages with an index. "This is a new and greatly enlarged edition of a book which, published originally in 1941, has established itself as an indispensable guide to the intricacies of the problems of African development. In its enlarged form it gives a picture of the whole situation, including not only the governed, but the authorities through which reforms must be carried out. There are entirely new chapters on the system of colonial government and its critics, both inside and outside the service ; on the relations of the bureaucracy with the people, both in Africa and at home ; on the new Information Service, now at work both in Africa and in the Colonial Office ; on the work of the British Council and its functions in the Colonial Empire. Chapters dealing with the African point out that he is a slave, as we in Europe conceive freedom. He must no longer be kept as cheap labour, nor preserved in his tribal ignorance. For the African is capable of learning any art, trade or craft, as he has proved in the U.S.A. as well as in Africa. The choice lies between those who wish to combine slavery in some modern form and those who urge that the African peoples must be educated to self-government. Mr. Cary comes out strongly for the latter policy. Africa is a poor continent, fast growing poorer. The development of its resources is urgently needed if it is to escape famine, misery, and rebellion on a vast scale. The book, therefore, outlines a plan for such development, and suggests organizations of native help, of the co-operative group, of adult education, of local industry-all designed to attack the root problems of African poverty, backwardness, and exploitation."

	ADDY SIDNEY OLDALL Church and Manor : A Study in English Economic History George Allen, U.K. 1913. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 473 pages + frontispiece, including Index & 40 figures/plans. According to the Preface 'OF late years various books relating to the unit of English territorial organisation known as the manor have appeared. Two or three of these deal with short periods, such as the eleventh or the thirteenth century, and the late Mr. Seebohm, in a masterly investigation, has surveyed a considerable part of the field. Notwithstanding the good work that has been done, an essential part of the subject has been omitted, or misunderstood. The manor and the ecclesiastical benefice have been regarded as entirely independent things. But the economic history of medieval England will gain much in simplicity if it can be shown that lord and priest were once the same person; that the hall cannot at an early time be distinguished from the church; and that ecclesiastical benefices were themselves manors, with all the privileges which belonged to feudal lordship. No treatment of the economic history of these islands can be satisfactory unless it includes the church-building and the benefice within its scope. To describe the scattered acres of the open fields, with all the complicated belongings of the village community, and yet leave out the building near which the frail and mud-built houses of the inhabitants were gathered, is to omit the chief point of interest, for the church was not only the place of worship but also the seat of local government. It has been thought desirable to treat the evidence from architecture, as found in existing remains or referred to in documents, in considerable detail, because, if it can be proved that the church-fabric was evolved from the hall or lord's dwelling, a strong presumption arises, on that ground alone, that the benefice was the manor...'

But this is the first in which the people themselves tell their own story : what it's like to live in a place where toadstools grow out of the walls; or where rats gnaw the clothing; or where four families share a single tap; or for old people on the top of a brand new tower block where the lift doesn't work; or where green mould appears on the new plasterwork. What it's like to be one of over eleven million people living in these conditions in Britain today. (Hopefully, as this was written back in 1972 things have improved greatly).

Itis impossible to discuss competently or thoroughly such matters as disarmament, international finance, debts, reparations, the League, tariffs, economic nationalism, without considering just those points which The Great Illusion discussed with such simplicity, clarity and force as to send the book in a few years over the civilised world and to compel its translation into twenty-five languages.

Size: 8.25 inches tall by 5.75 inches. 213 pages & 17 page index & 4 page catalogue. ‘As the constitution of the Danish people rightly asserts "It is by law you build the land" and no other regime in world history has achieved so much imperial conquest by merely generating the law to build their land as has the so-called "European Union". The European Union extended that body of law to questions of "free movement of people" but the whole purpose of the free movement of capital is to make the movement of people largely unnecessary. It was the movement of people which interested them most, for that would more quickly break up the cohesion of the nation states. The Commission should not get carried away by the idea of transparency — it is necessary to learn to conceal aspects of information which give rise to bad interpretation. 'European Commission internal memorandum. Eastern Europe wants only to trade freely with the countries of Western Europe but the European Union forcefully prevents that, offering to remove trade barriers only when those nations surrender their hard won constitutional nationhood. In the modern era of the universal franchise each Parliament only represents (for its statutory term) the true sovereigns, the people. The end of sovereignty is the end of democracy. We do not speak of Californian fishing grounds because all the wealth in those grounds is an asset of the US Dollar. The step which really creates the European Superstate is the introduction of its currency — the Euro. Democrats know that you do not need a single currency to enjoy free trade. Dictators know that you cannot conquer countries without a single currency. Hitler destroyed Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia and created petty nationalist states in Slovakia and Croatia. German Europe has broken up Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, Slovakia driving out its gypsies, Croatia its Serbs and Albanian Kosovo its gypsies, Jews and Serbs. During the 1930s and 1940s, as today, there were few terms with which European Fascism was more happy than The New World Order reflecting as it does notions of power, global ambition, order (ie control) and contempt for democratic nationhood.’ Book - in Near Fine [better than Very Good] card covers.

' Rashid has had the advantage of a more varied career than most men. His book therefore recounts life as he lived it in widely contrasting situations and appointments beginning with his 14 years' stay in England. These years cover his life at a British public school, Clifton, and later his days at Sandhurst where he qualified for the Indian Army as it functioned in the time of the British raj. He recounts serenely but spiritedly the racial prejudices he encountered at Sandhurst and as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army. Life had also its agreeable, amusing and often educative aspects. Rashid's account of army life in old Hyderabad with its fast-vanishing dynasty and his later encounters with some personalities, known and unknown, in the Cantonments, cities and towns of India, throw a nostalgic light on those far off days. At Allahabad he had the pleasure and privilege of being a welcome guest in the home of the Nehrus, then dominated by the patriarchal, imperious, patrician figure of Motilal Nehru. Here he also met the late Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and other political personalities, and as he later discovered, became thereby suspect in the eyes of the British army authorities. Particularly interesting is the impact on him made by the care-free, mind-free life of the Army Officer of those days when brawn had precedence over brains and when any symptom of intellectual curiosity or interest was branded as political or queer. Along with racial prejudice this life of almost clinical mental torpor came eventually to repel Rashid who after some sustained thinking finally took the momentous decision of giving up his army life for a civilian career. Life in Calcutta and Bombay, where he moved largely in British and Indian commercial circles, comes in for some penetrating observations from his pen. Inevitably, his many-sided serious-minded interests led him into public and political activities. He was appointed Sheriff of Bombay at the early age of 36. For some valuable years he was closely associated with Mr. Jinnah in the capacity of an able aide and lieutenant. He finally broke away from the Quaid-i-Azam on the issue of Pakistan. Rashid, with his always questing outlook, began his politi cal apprenticeship and education at a comparatively early age. His account of Jinnah is based on a frank but friendly look into the complicated mind of that complicated man and is quite the most perceptive, thoughtful assessment I have read of the creator of Pakistan. With some of Rashid's activities in this period I happened to be associated, though largely from the periphery. Apart from his portrait of Jinnah, I think two of the finest, most sensitive and objective chapters in this book are on secularism and colonialism, two subjects which Rashid dissects in his characteristic open and analytical manner. The book is also valuable for its revealing portrait of Jawaharlal Nehru with whom Rashid first came in contact many years before Nehru's assumption of the Prime Minister-ship. As Chief of Protocol he was later brought into close contact at many points in Nehru's busy, eventful, official life as India's undisputed ruler. His accounts of the many famous personages he encountered during his term as Chief of Protocol are always sharp and often uninhibited. Rashid, with his natural eye for the pompous, the ludicrous and the absurd, found much to entertain him. But in some fields these contacts were educative and rewarding. His pen-pictures of contrasting personages such as Khrushchev, Chou En-lai. Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh make vivid, often colourful cameos. There are chapters also on his diplomatic life in such exotic places as Pondicherry, Goa, the Philippines and Iran where he finally concluded his official career. Here is something for everybody to enjoy and often to reflect on. It is a book of light and shadow, of the informal and starchily formal, of the serious and the comic and reflects a deeply intelligent, informed interest in men and events in many countries of the world, not least in India.

Sir Harold Bellman, widely acknowledged as an authority, reviews some outstanding problems of the day in business and politics. Here is no dry-as-dust professor, but an active participant in world affairs, with a sense of realities, and a gift of self-expression (seasoned by humour) on topics which intimately concern the man in the street. The subject-matter is distinguished by its widespread appeal and ranges from Britain's recent prosperity and the factors which shaped it to alcohol in relation to social welfare; from the new tools in Britain's recent economic technique to the problems of democracy; from the social responsibilities of accountants to the traditions and efficiency of the Civil Service. Housing, both as a medium of social well-being and as an economic stimulus, is given a special place. Moreover, reference is made to such topical matters as the present business recession, the significance of rearmament, and so forth '.

	BERKMAN ALEXANDER ABC of Anarchism Freedom Press, U.K. 1964. Third English Edition, Card Covers. Very Good/No Jacket. 99 pages in card covers.Our social institutions are founded on certain ideas; as long as the latter are generally believed, the institutions built on them are safe. Government remains strong because people think political authority and legal compulsion necessary. Capitalism will continue as long as such an economic system is considered adequate and just. The weakening of the ideas which support the evil and oppressive present-day conditions means the ultimate breakdown of government and capitalism. Progress consists in abolishing what man has outlived and substituting in its place a more suitable environments. The book carries a Publisher's Note - Berkman's original work was issued in America in 1929 under the title "What is Communist Anarchism?" It contained three parts headed "Now," "Anarchism" and "The Social Revolution". The book was reissued in 1936 by the Freie Arbeiter Stimme in New York with a new title "Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism". The present edition contains parts two and three of the original work: on grounds of expense Part One has been omitted. The text is otherwise that of the 1929 edition.

	BUTLER SIR HAROLD Confident Morning Faber & Faber, U.K. 1950. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good Plus Plus. 192 pages including index + frontispiece. According to the blurb: Sir Harold Butler's new book, autobiographical in form, is much more than a mere autobiography. Its purpose is to illustrate the contrast between the solid, self-assurance of the old order, which perished in 1914, and the alternating moods of fear and hope, which have since then overtaken the Western Democracies. The personal narrative ends with the Peace Conference and the birth of the International Labour Organization. in 1919... The present volume drawing richly on the author's later experiences to interpret the earlier. It uses the present to give perspective to the past - that thirty-year old past, which gave birth to our modern world. Sir Harold begins with an enchanting account of his boyhood in the unspoilt Oxford of the 1880s & 1890s. After a brilliant scholastic career ( about which he is modestly silent ) he lived for a time in Germany & France in order to equip himself for the Foreign Office. But the Foreign Office had no vacancies, so he found himself apprenticed to the public service in the Home Office, where he came under the dynamic sway of the youthful Mr. Churchill. Then Bleriot flew the Channel. This surprising event led to the first international conference in Paris on 'aerial navigation'. Young Butler (perhaps because he could speak French) found himself appointed secretary to the British Delegation. All this is told with wit & anecdote, & a delicious sense of comedy, through which runs a thread of increasingly serious comment. When the war came, Butler was marked down as an indispensable public servant. He was refused permission to go on active service with his regiment (the Inns of Court) & assigned to duty first on the blockade somewhere between the Home Office & the Foreign Office, & later in the newly born Ministry of Labour. Here he began to learn something about industrial problems, & when the Peace Conference came, was largely responsible for the creation of the I.L.O. Of his later distinguished career, as Director of the I.L.O. & of the services he rendered during the Second World War, there is no need for his publishers to speak.

	CARY JOYCE Case for African Freedom Secker and Warburg, U.K. 1944. New Edition Revised and Enlarged, Hard Cover. Very Good/Good Plus. 158 pages with an index. "This is a new and greatly enlarged edition of a book which, published originally in 1941, has established itself as an indispensable guide to the intricacies of the problems of African development. In its enlarged form it gives a picture of the whole situation, including not only the governed, but the authorities through which reforms must be carried out. There are entirely new chapters on the system of colonial government and its critics, both inside and outside the service ; on the relations of the bureaucracy with the people, both in Africa and at home ; on the new Information Service, now at work both in Africa and in the Colonial Office ; on the work of the British Council and its functions in the Colonial Empire. Chapters dealing with the African point out that he is a slave, as we in Europe conceive freedom. He must no longer be kept as cheap labour, nor preserved in his tribal ignorance. For the African is capable of learning any art, trade or craft, as he has proved in the U.S.A. as well as in Africa. The choice lies between those who wish to combine slavery in some modern form and those who urge that the African peoples must be educated to self-government. Mr. Cary comes out strongly for the latter policy. Africa is a poor continent, fast growing poorer. The development of its resources is urgently needed if it is to escape famine, misery, and rebellion on a vast scale. The book, therefore, outlines a plan for such development, and suggests organizations of native help, of the co-operative group, of adult education, of local industry-all designed to attack the root problems of African poverty, backwardness, and exploitation."
