Andre Siegfried, Frenchman with o
German name, has constituted himself
the critic of America and Great Brit
ain as regards their social and indus
trial development and ideals. In
America Comes of Age" mingled with
some truth, much cleverness and many
Gallo Stabs, was a great deal OF mis-
information. Some months ago the
Booklover had the opportunity OF tell
ing q Czechoslovakian author visiting
In this country that America Comes
Of Age" was not fair picture Of our
country. The information had been
given in Europe that 1t was the out
standing book to be read for an under
standing Of the United States. Now M.
Siegfried has turned to England, with
"England's Crisis" translated from the
French by II. H. Hemming and Doris
Hemming. His analysis Of England's
critical situation brings out few points
not already made by many other
writer's. His summing up of the ,trou-
BILE of England is that she Is old-fash-
toned and stubbornly insists upon re-
naming so. Her industrial methods
are those Of the last century and she
lags behind in the march of standard
ization led by America. In the dole"
he sees great menace to English inde-
pendence and incentive to work. The
way out for England, he says. is CO.

neighbors or with the English speaking
nations Of the United States, Canada

land

eral, on behalf of Prime Minister Mac
Donald, introduced in the House of
Commons today coal mines bill which
provides for the continuance of the
7l2-hour day in ccal mines for the

of existing wage rates.

which miners work 7l2 hours a day.

strike in the coal fields on the fol-
lowing day.

hour day will continue for a year, or
until the government ratifies the
Geneva Coal Convention, by which the
miners working day will come down
to IL hours plus one hour for wind
ing time.
At a conference today of the Miners
Federation the executive officers recon-
mended that it be accepted. but the
Yorkshire delegates and the South
Wales representatives opposed it.

federation, announced later that mine
owners had written the miners organi-
zation that they would oppose the gov
ernment's proposals in every possible
way.
