Naturally, the publications that concern problems of the changing times in consequence of the war are many. The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science for January had the general title "Reconstruction Labor Policy." The Annals for March had the general title "Industries in Readjustment." He who reads these reads in each case a symposium upon some important questions of the day. The report of the War Service Committee of the American Library Association for the year ending June 30th is embodied in a pamphlet 8 x 10 of 78 pages. This is an historical sketch of the Library War Service, June, 1917 to January, 1919, which should be read by those who are critical of what the American libraries contributed to the war. There were camp library buildings, branch libraries, work overseas, hospital libraries, etc. Perhaps the most interesting paragraphs of the report are those under the caption "What the Men Read," page 47. The Guaranty Trust Company of New York has issued a pamphlet on "Trading with China," and another on "How Business with Foreign Countries is Financed." A representative of the Guaranty Trust Company came to the recent Library Convention and told interestingly of the large number of points that need to be taken account of in developing our foreign trade. The National Industrial Conference Board, which is a federation of American industries for the study of industrial problems, improvement of industrial relations, promotion of industrial prosperity, has issued a book which gives the personnel of the Board and the member associations and their delegates. In each are represented the following manufactures: cotton, hardware, paper and pulp, electrical, chemical, wool, automobile, boot and shoe, foundry, metal trade, rubber, silk, railway cars, type making, and a few others. Headquarters are at 15 Beacon Street, Boston, with a possibility that sooner or later it will be transferred to New York.
