THE ROUND TABLE.

WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS. The Juno number of the Round Table illustrates, perhaps better than usual, the wide range of affairs discussed by the writers who regularly contribute to its pages. First plan is given to international affairs. The cflect and possible results of the London Conference for the limitation of naval armaments are discussed under the significant title "Toward Peace or War?" Tho actual achievements are analysed, hut the whole subject, in relation to the future, is discussed on the broadest possible lines, the writers endeavouring place the event in proper historical perspective. The United Kingdom claims attention next, Mr. Snow, den's Budget being up for examination. Here again a lontr view of its characteristics is taken, for history, back to the time of the Napoleonic wars, is drawn upon to determine the exact financial burden the nation is carrying, and t.lio consequences to be expected from Mr. Snowden's new taxes. Indian affairs have been continuously reviewed in tho Round Table for a long time now. This quarter, the Gandhi movement has been considered, this being a useful accompaniment to the report of the Simon Commission, now available. Outside tho Empire, Japan and Spain furnish the subject of two informative articles. The usual summary of affairs in Great Britain, Ireland and tho Dominions helps to keep tho reader in touch with the current politics of the Empire, while for human interest, an account of an experiment in native education in Kenya deserves to rank high among the contributions.
