Native SonFires Novel at Japan

States as a whole see what the
Japanese look like TO a Californian.
Perhaps Kyne, personally, has con-
structive suggestions. but If so he does
not offer them through the mouth OF
his fictional character. "The Priae
of Palomar" hero is a jingling 1ingo
but at that he is quite representative
Of the Californian who. having 10
live every day with an Irritating allen
race In his dooryard, is in no frame
OF mind TO think up any more con-
structive measures than loud yell
of Let 'em stay in Asia and therein
be no problem!
IF we only had the courage and
the foresight and the firmness of the
Australians and New Zealanders!"
says Kyne's Native Son. ''Those sane
people will not even permit an Indian
prince-a British subject-to enter
their country except under bond and
then for six months only.
Here Is the attitude of the Native
Son toward the Japan society of New
York city:
"All the real plutocrats in New York
have been sold memberships in that
instrument of propaganda by the willy
sons of Nippon. The Japan Society
Is supposed to be a vehicle for estab-
fishing friendlier commercial ard So
cial relations between the United
States and Japan. The society gives
wonderful banquets and yammers away
about the brotherhood of man and
sends out pro-Japanese propaganda.
Really, it's a wonderful institution.
The millionaire white men of New
York finance the society and the Japs
run it,"
Lest the reader of this review gain
the mistaken notion that THE Pride
of Palomar" is nothing but an anti
Japanese tract, let it be stated here
and now that 1t is a swift moving
thriller in which episodes of romance,
mystery and adventure rush one upon
the other in the enticing fashion so
characteristic Of Kyne's writing. And
the dialogue is fully up to Kyne's usual
all-American standard.
The tale concerns a Native Son who,
between a Spanish and an Irish an
cestry, has to tote the name of Don
Miguel Jose Maria Federico Noriaga
Farrelle, or, as occasion demands, Don
Mike Farrell. Don Mike gets back to
the old ranch in the uniform of a top
kicker in the United States Army's
Siberian expedition to find himself sup
posedly dead-killed in a scrape which
won him the Medal of Honor.
John Parker, New York financier,
with one beautiful daughter and one
real and regular wife, is about to seIze

"Duds' and "The Peddlar."
Although the story is primarily one

offers something new. The real
heroine is Nita, a Denver beauty,
who suffered so many shocks while
in the American Intelligence Ser
vice in Paris during the war that
she was impervious to Chris
Carmichael's murmurings of love.
However from the time the sher-
if unwittingly takes Chu Chu
le Tondeur's gang into His home, and
proceeds to fall in love with Patricia,
the readers interest is divided.
Mr. Rowland manages both plot in
terests in a deft manner, closely in
tertwining Nita's story with Patricia's.
While serving her country in Paris
Nita had incurred the hatred of
Townley, one of the crooks, and his
chief ambition is to even up this score
SO Chris, the aviator hero. after being
refused by Nita. appoints himself her
bodyguard and sits down to wait for
things to happen, with his airplane

The book gathers a momentum of
suspense with each chapter reaching
the main thrill. when Townley at

THE PRIDE OF PALOMAR. By Peter
B. Kyne. Cosmopolitan Book Corpo-
ration.
9. II HAVE met many Japanese,
but never one with nobility or
generosity of soul. They have
no code of sportsmanship; they are
irritable and quarrelsome. They are
, not truthful Individually and coll
tlectively they are past masters Of
evasion and deceit. They are won-
derfully shrewd, and they have sense
enough to keep their heads when
other men are losing theirs. They are
patient; they plan craftily and exc
cute carefully and ruthlessly. Would
you care to graft their idea of in
dustry on the white racer"
So says the hero of Peter B. Kyne's
latest novel
Looking beyond the hero we find
Peter B. Kyne.
Peter B. Kyne was born in San
Francisco in 1880. He is Native Son.
Also he's a veteran of both the Span
ish-American and the world wars.
The millions who have read his stories
of Cappy Kicks know him as a stick

setting up the background for narra-
tives of commerce and industry. 1t
may be presumed. then, that "The
Pride of Palomar" truly presents the
Japanese question from the viewpoint
Of Japan jumping. Nippon nipping,
native born Californian wrong
righting writer who looks upon the
Yellow Peril as real, definite menace
to his State and his country.
"In view of the fact that we Cali
fornians are on the firing line," de-
clares Kyne under the nom de plume
Of his hero, necessarily it follows
that we must make some noise and,
incidentally CLEAN some first hand
knowledge of this so-called problem.
I think when our fellow citizens know
what we are fighting they will SYM
pathize with us and promptly dedicate
the United States to the unfaltering
principle that ours Is a white mans
country, that the heritage we have
won from the wilderness shall be held
inviolate for Nordic posterity, and
none other"
So there we have It, "The Pride
