Federal Tracts

Abstract

THE wide measure of public attention which the idea of federalism has come to command since the outbreak of the War is already attested by a considerable volume of literature. Several alternatives to the plan proposed in Mr. Clarence Streit's “Union Now” have been closely discussed, and a good deal of attention devoted to problems and difficulties over which Mr. Streit appeared to pass too lightly. If, however, the precise form in which the idea was advocated by Mr. Streit is unlikely to find wide acceptance, the whole trend of events has given fresh urgency and importance to the concept of a union of States.
