In this article, the author discusses several Pacific problems along with several publications related to the topic. Books discussed include "The Pacific Triangle," by Sydney Greenbie, "China Awakened," by M.T.Z. Tyau, "China's Place in the Sun," by Stanley High and "Russia in the Far East," by G. Zay Wood. The thrice-told tale of the Far East is told here yet again with but little variation. Here people have the usual budget of books on China and Japan, swollen somewhat by the added interest called out by the Armament Conference. To those who would catch the drift of future events it has great import that already the experts are weighing the chances of prospective opponents in a war in the Pacific.

Focuses on a peace between China and Japan. Confusion caused by Japan's rapid moves that has kept public sentiment busily engaged with speculating about the meaning of each one separately; Impact of the Paris Pact on the war between China and Japan; Significance of the acceptance of outlawry in the Peace Pact of Paris by Japan; Discussion of the public's understanding of and belief in the Kellogg- Briand Pact; Impact of the Far Eastern embroilment on the Peace Pact.

The article focuses on a letter Charles Stewart Addis to the Morning Post (London) of October 9 which was sent by the British Library of Information (New York). The letter considers Bertrand Russell's article a "serious attack on the government of Hongkong." Addis does not propose here to discuss the spirit animating Russell's article on British Imperialism in China, in the New Leader, of September 19. His purpose is rather to test, by an examination of the facts on which he relies, the competence of Mr. Russell to pass judgment on the objects and methods of British policy in the Far East.
