The Week.

This article focuses on several socio-political issues at the international level. The resignation of Austen Chamberlain, Secretary of State for India, illustrates, excellently, the workings of responsible government. Now that all the evidence is in, it seems fairly clear that the first Mesopotamian adventure came to grief not so much because of the personal incompetence of Chamberlain, as because of the incompetence of their military aides whose advice they took. The account of the work of the Detroit League on Urban Conditions among Negroes to smooth the path of the colored immigrant from the South contains a lesson for other cities. Neglect the Negro emigrating northward, make them feel an outcast, allow them to be exploited by influences which demoralize them and one have helped prepare the powder for such an explosion as took place in East Saint Louis, Illinois.
