35 This series of volumes covers the periodsince 1919 and contains digests, or English translations, of reported decisions of international tribunals and the national courts of most countries of the world. The volumes do not appear until several years after the cases have been decided. Close coöperation between this Journal and the Annual Digest may be hoped for.
