But the harvest will not be gathered without sweat and toil. The times are pregnant with great possibilities, but their realisation depends upon the united wisdom of the people. BOOKS In order to understand the machinery of international trade, reference should be made to Hartiey Withers' _Money Changing_ (5s.), or Clare's _A.B.C. of the Foreign Exchanges_ (3s.); an outline of the subject will be found in any good general text-book on Economics. On the financial situation, see articles on "Lombard Street in War" and "The War and Financial Exhaustion" (_Round Table,_ September and December 1914); "War and the Financial System, August 1914," by J.M. Keynes (_Economic Journal_, September 1914); and articles in the _New Statesman_ on "Why a Moratorium?" (August 15,1914), and "The Restoration of the Remittance Market" (August 29, 1914). Norman Angell's _The Great Illusion_ (2s. 6d.) should be consulted for an examination of the relations between war and trade. The most accessible book dealing with the foreign trade of the European countries is the _Statesman's Year-Book_, published annually at 10s. 6d. The chapters reprinted from the _Encyclopaedia Britannica_ are also useful. A valuable article on "The Economic Relations of the British and German Empires," by E. Crammond, appeared in the _Journal of the Royal Statistical Society_, July 1914. The same writer published an article on "The Economic Aspects of the War" in _The Quarterly Review_ for October 1914 (6s.). A grasp of the economic development of Germany may be obtained from W.H. Dawson's _Evolution of Modern Germany_ (5s.) and the same writer's _Industrial Germany_ (Nation's Library, 1s.). Mr. F.W. Taylor's _Scientific Management_ (5s.) and Miss J. Goldmark's _Fatigue and Efficiency_ (8s.) explain scientific management. A short account is also given in Layton's _Capital and Labour_ (Nation's Library, 1s.). The course of unemployment in this country may be traced from the returns published each month in the _Board of Trade Labour Gazette_ (monthly, 1d.). Proposals for dealing with possible and existing distress during the war are to be found in a pamphlet on _The War and the Workers,_ by Sidney Webb (Fabian Society, 1d.). For the possible use of trade unions as a channel for the distribution of public assistance, see an article in _The Nation_ for September 5, 1914, and Mr. G.D.H. Cole's article on "How to help the Cotton Operative" in _The Nation_ for November 7, 1914. The same paper published two suggestive articles on "Relief or Maintenance?" (September 19 and October 3). The situation which has arisen in the woollen and worsted industries owing to the large demand for cloth for the troops is dealt with in an article on "The Government and Khaki," by Arthur Greenwood in _The Nation_ for November 28, 1914. Reference may be made to the official White Paper on Distress; other official documents of note are the following:
