PROBLEMS of world trade and development fall into three broad groups. Firstly, there are questions relating to primary commodities, such as the kinds of national and international measures that can be taken to stabilise prices and regulate production. Secondly, there are the problems relating to exports of manufactured goods, the main issue being how to make markets in the developed countries more accessible. And finally, there are the various issues relating to aid. This paper begins with a brief survey of trends in Commonwealth trade. It discusses all the three sets of problems, particularly as they affect the countries of the Commonwealth. Throughout it emphasises those issues on which action can be taken by the Commonwealth as a whole or where action by an individual Commonwealth country, such as the United Kingdom, is of particular importance.

Vritten in the characteristic Pannikar style, this book provides a competent historian's view of the foundations of modern India. Panikkar lays special emphasis on the fundamental social revolution which has been at work in India since freedom and although he poses at the end of his book the problem of how durable the changes now taking place in India could be, from the account given by him, one feels almost certain of the victory of the forces of change ·against the forces of stagnation. His view of what India stands for today is summed up in one profound sentence : "The birth of a new civilization, an attempted synthesis of the East and the 'Vest, a co-mingling of the two producing a new way of life with a distinct individuality, this is what India today stands for. While retaining its Indian character and strengthening its spiritual foundations, New India has sought to assimilate the social purposes, the political conceptions and the economic organisation of the West.u The danger that Panikkar sees to this is from "the traditional forces dawning the raiments of progress assuming control and changing the direction of growth." The whole Panikkar thesis is challengeable because it is build on the familiar Western conception of a struggle between the modernising and the traditional elites in India. These conceptions may well meet with the view in the light of some hard facts by both Indian and Western scholars. How far is the modernist elite of India capable of modernising it in merely Western terms is the question. Modernisation is not Westernisation though in most references today there is a tendency to identify the two terms. It is possible, that the task of modernisation in India will be· undertaken by an entirely different kind of elite which is neither the Vesternised nor the traditional elite. In fact, the difference between the traditional and the Westernised elite may well have been exaggerated. The -change-over from the traditional to the modern elite was effected without much of a change in the status hierarchy of Indian society. In that sense, the revolu-

ciated With the Bergstraesser' Institute in Freiburg/Breisgau, fulfils some of those needs which Professor Bergstraesser had in mind. The author has carefully selected a large number of documents essential for an understanding of the history of China and has provided us also with an excellent introduction in which he discusses the method which he had used in selecting these documents. He gives us as well an interesting comparison of Confucianism and Communism; and with a great deal of insight he has also discussed the influence of Sun Yat-Scnism on present day China. The two facts which are very often ignored in one's approach to the problem of China, are, first, the disappearance of the Confucianist Empire as a result of the national revolutionary movements of Sun ·vat-sen in 1911, and secondly, the thirty years of civil war which brought eventually communism to China. The author has in this book provided us at the same time with some documents which elucidate the changes from the time of Hu Shih to Mao. The Document No. 1 which summarises Hu Shih's interpretation of Chinese ·History reveals at the same time Hu Shih's opposition to Indian influence on Chinese thought, and, in fact, as Shih asserts, it seemed to most Chinese thinkers for a long time that Chinese rationalism and humanism would be submerged by Indian thought and superstition., But it was owing to the revolt against Indian Buddhism organised by Han Yu (768-824) with the slogan ~hat the Chinese should . become human bei:1~ and not "monks and nuns" that Indian influence could eventually be eliminated from Chinese life. This document should at last open the eyes of those Romantics who had built up in their imagination a picture of China deeply embedded in Indian tradition and culture. The importance of the book has been greatly enhanced by the addition of an excellent bibliography of books on ancient and modern China. If this book is translated into English; it would inqeed be of invaluable help to those students of China who arc not acquainted with the German language.
