The article discusses several books like "The British Employment Exchange," by John Barton Seymour. The book begins with a brief history of the employment exchange and ends with a chapter of excellent suggestions for expansion and improvement. "British Food Control," by Sir William H. Beveridge. Out of his intimate personal knowledge and experience as Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Food, and out of the abundant public records and private papers freely placed at his disposal, Sir William Beveridge has written an extraordinarily lucid, interesting, and valuable history of British food control during the war.
