This article is an attempt to evolve an administrative technique for Dominion-provincial co-operation in the social services—with particular reference to public health—within the framework or confines of the existing British North America Act of 1867.The recent war has brought the need for social services into sharp relief. The realization has finally dawned that in the complex society in which we live, a comprehensive programme of social progress is now essential, but such a programme must necessarily be nation-wide, since we can no longer afford disparities in the social services on account of the serious reactions such disparities have on the general welfare and national unity of the country. To develop such a national system of public welfare services, it is vitally necessary that the Dominion should extend its influence, leadership, and activity, but here we are at once confronted with the vexed—and, as yet, unsolved—problem of Dominion-provincial relations. Valiant attempts have been made to solve this problem, but two main obstacles still obstruct all efforts.

The American tradition emphasizes the importance of sea power, especially the great age of sea power which began with Columbus and led first to the expansion of Spain and Portugal and then to the empire building of England, Holland, and France, and the development of North America. In America itself we are also familiar with the epic march across the continent to the Pacific, and the way in which the expanding frontier shaped, or at least strongly influenced, our society and our institutions, as expounded by Turner. Even our continental history, however, was initiated by the crossing of the Atlantic; and from then on even our period of most active continental expansion was never free of the influences and effects of sea power, sea-borne commerce, the investment of European capital, and acceleration of population growth by the immigration of Europeans.

The Agreement formally establishing the Caribbean Commission was signed at Washington on October 20, 1946, by the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and France. The Commission has as its purpose to strengthen cooperation among the signatory powers and their dependencies in the area "with a view toward improving the economic and social well-being of the peoples of the territory." Together with its auxiliary bodies — the Caribbean Research Council and the West Indian Conference — the Caribbean Commission is an outgrowth of the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission, which was established in March, 1942. In December, 1945, France and the Netherlands accepted invitations to become members of the Commission, and on July 15, 1946, the present agreement was first initialed. The four-power body, like its predecessor the Anglo-American Commission, serves strictly in an advisory and consultative capacity, its main function being "to study, formulate and recommend … measures, programs, and policies with respect to social and economic problems, … make recommendations for the carrying into effect of all action necessary or desirable in this connection, [and to] … assist in coordinating local projects which have regional significance and to provide technical guidance."

International organization is not a new concept in the minds of men, but the creation of most of the international organizations now in existence has occurred within the memory of many who are by no means our oldest citizens. Before the last war, it was not too difficult for the interested layman, the scholar, the government official, or the teacher to keep abreast of new ideas and new philosophies. He watched the League of Nations, the Pan American Union, and a handful of specialized organizations like the Postal Union or the International Institute of Agriculture, and felt reasonably safe in his conviction that he could qualify as an intelligent citizen or even, at times, a teacher.

After consideration of possible control machinery and zones of occupation in Austria, the European Advisory Commission agreed that the Allied Control Machinery in Austria should consist of an Allied Council, an Executive Committee, and staffs appointed by the four governments concerned. The whole organization, composed of the governments of the United Kingdom, the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the Provisional Government of the French Republic, was known as the Allied Commission for Austria. The purposes of the Allied Commission, as laid down by the European Advisory Commission, include 1) the separation of Austria from Germany; 2) the establishment of a central Austrian administrative machine; 3) preparation for the establishment of a freely elected Austrian Government; and 4) facilitation of the administration of Austria.

Although closely bound to the League of Nations, the ILO did not go out of existence with its dissolution, but continued functioning as an independent agency during the war, despite the League's breakdown. During the past year, the ILO-United Nations agreement was signed, the ILO thus becoming the oldest of the "specialized" intergovernmental agencies to be brought into relationship with the United Nations. Other activities of the ILO during 1946 included the 29th International Labor Conference, a Maritime Conference, an American States Regional Conference, and the first meetings of four newly created Industrial Committees.

In our generation American agricultural leaders have pioneered a new system of marketing. They have developed and expanded a new type of business unit: an association of producers acting by and through a non-profit corporation agent which they create and control. In our day the lawyers, admmistrators, judges and legislators are engaged in clarifying the legal concepts involved in the personal, corporate and propity relations which a pioneering generation of agricultural cooperators have created by their new commercial practice called cooperative marketing.

La interesante personalidad del navegante y corsario inglés John Hawkins -el Juan Acles o Juan Aquines de nuestros documentos y crónicas- es muy poco conocida por los españoles, no obstante la importancia que tiene su figura en el marco general de la historia americana del siglo XVI. Y menos conocida todavía si se hace abstracción de algunos episodios piráticos o acciones de índole militar, que no reflejan, ni mucho menos, la verdadera significación de la personalidad de Hawkins, cuyos viajes y empresas tienen mucha más honda trascendencia en el presente de su siglo y para el futuro, que el de unos simples encuentros navales en las inmensidades del Océano o en las encrucijadas de los puertos del Caribe. ; Peer reviewed

This paper, however, merely intends to sound an alarm. Roman Catholicism, regardless of the impression it might give, is a genuine threat to the religious freedom guaranteed in the Federal Constitution. We shall not attempt to judge the validity of the American form of government. That we take for granted. But our purpose is this: to determine the extent of the liberty guaranteed in the law of the land; to point out apparent agreement and obvious discrepancies between liberty and the Vatican; and to cite the practice of Rome as evidence of her intolerance and the Papacy's authoritarian principles.
