It was at first believed that her intention was to write a volume comparable with her admirable and, indeed, indispensable study of the Thirty Years War, but what she has now given us is a book a little incomplete and unsatisfactory in of his sin." So far as delineation character is concerned Miss Wedgwood prepares the ground for the tragedy of Charles I.

Mr Albert seeks to provide a national policy for the industry which is an alternative both to nationalisation and to leaving well alone. First he sets out the main factors which he believes to be responsible for the present inefficiency of the industry.

As a first step in reorganising the building industry. Mr Albert rejects a number of suggestions, such as a building labour board, complete nationalisation, directly employed labour, a register of contractors, and the nationalisation of all building firms. He argues that a public construction corporation carrying out most building and civil engineering capital works alone satisfies the particular needs of an industry, in which 963.600 operatives are emploved by 122,800 general builders.

Responsibility of One Ministry He proposes that the Ministry of Works, alone among Government Departments, should be responsible for all building works. The traditional relationship between building owners and their professional advisers should remain unchanged, but the professional institutions should be open to anyone having the required technical standard. The proposed public construction corporation should operate through construction units, having independent status and freely co-operating among themselves. A separate plant division should be formed to control all building and public works plant and mechanical aids, and a central purchasing division should be formed to make bulk purchases directly from manufacturers. A building research organisation should control and stimulate research, standardisation, and the preparation of codes of practice.

Repair and maintenance work, and smaller new works, should be carried out by private enterprise or by building workers directly employed by the building owner. Finally, the workers themselves should have a fairer deal. They should be Daid for travelling time from the depot to the site, and for the time when work is held up bv the weather if they are available and ready for work. He also urges some relaxation of union restrictions on craft working. Collet's Bookshops an-nounce a new list of books from the Soviet Union to be published during 1955.

Authors will include: Tolstoy Gorky Pushkin Via nova, I Filatov ment in buiicting works, and tne tact that Government building work is the responsibility of several departments, each with its own contract conditions, design, and specification standards and administrative systems. One of the principal causes of inefficiency, he maintains, is the poor morale within the industry itself, the result of the failure to improve working conditions, and the absence of close co-operation and consultation between workers and management. Building work is frequently casual, the workers sufEer lack of pay in bad weather, and enjoy none of the advantages of factory workers. Perhaps for this reason the number of apprentices entering the industry is far below what is needed. Lack of Understanding Morale in the industry is further deore-ciated, according to Mr Albert, by the entire lack of mutual confidence and respect between the two distinct groups in the industry, the building owner and his technical advisers on the one hand, and the contractor and his operatives on the other.

The former regards the contractor as an inferior, who is technically backward, and the contractor looks upon the architect as an autocrat with little knowledge of practical constructional problems. In general Mr Albert believes that the ground and causes of the Bishops' extremely good on the complicated Wars with Scotland and an analysis of political history of Scotland, for which Strafford's policy for aiding the King in she has discovered some new material their later stages.

Mr Herford joined the business of Hans Renold, in 1909. In 1919 he became works director and in 1931, after the merger with the Coventry Chain general works manager of the Renold and Coventry Chain Co. He was appointed managing director in 1944, and retired from executive service in 1953, but retained his seat on the board.

Before the contemplated three years' training had run its course he had been placed in charge of the cost office, then in process of reorganisation. From there he soon passed to the drawing office.
