with Asia, South Africa and South

ruined splendors of India and Persia,
the sad background for a modern civ

compared with an ancient and lost
grandeur. South America is in a hope

A Tale OF: Gore
One Novelist Who Dehes
Probability

~ NE finds real amusement in read
~ ing, occasionally, a novel with q
plot wholly preposterous. The
human mind can invent and link to-
gether in chain of incidents events
that defy probability and at times con-
fuse the critic. Robert Orr Clipper
field, in his unseen Hands" (Mc-
Bride), has added one more book to
the Frankenstein shelf of horrors, has
written a story that marches with our
friends of the little band of impos-
sibles.
The novel opens in the home of a
respected old New York family, just
after the sudden and strange deaths Of
the mother and one of the three sons,
one poisoned and the other with his
throat cut. Then follow, almost at
once, attempts on two more members
of the little group, the father and
another of the sons. IF that isn't an
accumulation of panics for the first
dozen or so pages of story, we don't
know what is. One wonders who has
done 1t all, and what the motive can
be. And in this wonderment lies the
lure of Unseen Hands"
A young detective wins his spurs by
solving the mystery, and you follow
his trail to the capture of the muir
derer, with curiosity not whettcd by
any literary quality in the book. The
redeeming feature is the clever way in
which suspicion flashes its searchlight
on one person after another, vet is
baff1ed, with the reader until the last
pages and fns.

casionally the power of her emotion

we find Mrs. Wilkinson at her best, as

Perhaps some cavil at this poem and
the other because it is somewhat
studied in structure and in expression,
but that is almost inevitable in the

The role of the capitalist in the dream
fabrication is always played by the I'M
conscious wish; it dispenses the psychic
energy for dream building. The actual
worker is the day-remnant which de-
termines how the expenditure is to be
made
What a museum is the dream, what a
repository of ancient racial experiences,
of atavisms, of lost Identities. Its
speech, says Freud, corresponds to
ours as picture writing does to our
form of writing. 1t makes it's pattern
of ancient CONGREGATIONS abandoned to
the poets, forgotten phallic symbols,
eradicated experiences. "The regres
sion Of dream-work is not only formal,
it is also of greater import. It not
only translates our thoughts into q
primitive form of expression, but it
reawakens the peculiarities of our
primitive psychic life, the ancient pre-
dominance of the ego, the earliest
impulses of our sexual life Gncest)
even our old intellectual property, if
we may consider the symbolic rela-
tions of such"
More inexorably than any other
Freud holds to the belief that the
unfulhlled wish Of the dream is al
most entirely sexual. He will be
tempted into none of the metaphysical
or poetical flights of Jung, and some
of those who have tried to evade the
most unpalatable part of his findings.
OF the more obvious evasons he says,
with a curling lip, at would be rare il
SC pregnant an opportunity for error
| had remained untitled" He admits
in his theory of displacement that the
sexual wish may become translated
into social terms-a process called
"sublimation." But "sublimation can
never account for more than small
fraction of the libido, and finally most
people possess the capacity for it in
very slight degree" He will not even
admit that Fundamentally the sex i'm
+, pulse is race survival impulse. To
assimlate Freud must necessarily be q
shatterln.g experience, as was assimi-
lating Darwin. He, the biologist of
the mind, is also the scientist who has
no concern with moral and aesthetic
principles. Moral and aesthetic prin-
ciples will have to make their own
reconciliations with truth. And in the
mean time, doubtless there will be
psychoanalysts as there were evolu-
tionists who will try to accommodate
science with religion. But with these
prettifications Freud will have no
traffic.

profitable business, despite the fer
tility of the soil. In "Thc Story Of the
Nonpartisan League" (Harper's) Mr..
Russell devotes more space to the
conditions which brought the league
into being than to the actual achieve
ments of the organization. He gives
an impressive picture of the strength
and cunning Of the forces banded to-
gether to buy cheap wheat from the
farmer and sell dear bread to the city
dweller. The author represents the
railroad company, the miller and the
banker as all taking far more than
their legitimate toll of profit, with
the result that hundreds of Western

same time that the cost of food has
risen steadily in the cities.
Mr.. Russell>s we'll known fondness
for denouncing "the interests" may
cause some of his statements to be re-
ceived with certain amount of skep-
tical reserve. But at least he cannot
be accused Of treating the subject su-
perfcially His work is filled with
statistics of all kinds. with lengthy
extracts from state and Federal re-
ports, And the extraordinary vitality
Of the Nonpartisan League in the
fercest opposition indicates that the
Northwestern farmers possess a very
we'll defined sense of grievance on many
points.
Mr.. Russell Is one of the very few
American Socialists who preferred
patriotism to internationalism when
America entered the war. He is Sc
verely critical of the league attitude
on this issue, which he describes as
stupidity parochial. At the same time
he believes that the charges of actual
disloyalty and pro- German sympathy
hurled against Townley and his as
sociates have been greatly exaggerated
by their political opponents. On most
counts Mr.. Russell Is sturdy de-
fender of the league and all it's works.
He adds little to what has already
been published about the remarkable
career Of Mr.. Townley. But his SYM
