BOOK NOTES.

The article presents information on various reports and research papers. The Report of the National Resources Committee entitled "Regional Factors in National Planning and Development" presents a thought-provoking, excellent and concise discussion of certain major problems facing American federalism today, the solution of which is not only necessary under modern conditions but hardly susceptible to attack from the old point of view of state versus national jurisdiction. Charles O. Fenwick, in his paper "Cases on International Law" steered a middle course among the opinions as to what should go into a case book. "La Victima," by José Heriberito López is the easy and intensely interesting narrative of two dictatorships in Venezuela. Douglas Waples and Harold D. Lasswell's "National Libraries and Foreign Scholarships" intends to show especially the resources of national libraries in the field of social science as well as to evaluate the various libraries on a comparative basis as far as financial aspects, political implications and books of certain countries are concerned.
