Abstract
AS soon as the international situation permits, there can be little question that much more time and thought than hitherto will have to be concentrated on urgent problems in home affairs, among which the government of London stands pre-eminent; and even if international affairs are still pre-eminent, that indeed may be cited as a principal reason why this matter should receive immediate and intelligent consideration, with a view to immediate and intelligent action, for it can easily be shown to be a primary factor in national defence. Dr. Robson emphasizes this aspect with convincing force, and also very appropriately at the beginning of his book insists that the proper government of London is a question of supreme national and not only metropolitan importance.
