Abstract
THIS small atlas is not designed specially to illustrate the Peace Treaties, but rather the problems which faced the Peace Conference. It should prove useful in studying the vexed problems of European racial and national boundaries. The maps are black and white, with the boundaries, as in 1914, in red, and a red wash used in many cases to indicate areas of speech. Presumably the dividing line is taken at a bare majority, but this is not stated, arid in any case we fear that such simplification of Eastern European problems as these clear-cut maps suggest is outside the scope of practical statesmanship. In comparing the maps showing Italian speech and the boundaries of Yugo-Slavia we note some discrepancies, but on the whole the maps are carefully prepared and well printed. The larger scale maps deal chiefly with Eastern Europe, but the late African and Pacific possessions of Germany are not omitted.
