4 DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

IF I happened to be Socialist, I
i would try to see to it that copy
of "a Picture of America" by
Charles Cross, landed in every
home. It is about the most effective
propaganda for Socialism that 1
ever have seen.
The book is chiefly made up of
pictures, accompanied by an ex-
planatory text. 1t boldly sets forth
the idea that most of the country'S
woes are due to the breakdown of
capitalism, and it outlines the
Socialist cure.
What interests me about this book
is not the validity, Or otherwise, of
the arguments; it is the way in
which they are presented.
You see photographs of stacks of
wheat that can not be sold alongside
photographs of city breadlines;
photographs of men who lost their
jobs when the clothing factories
closed, and photographs Of people
who have not sufficient clothing;
photographs, in short, grouped to-
gether in such way as to put
terrific emphasis on the defects of
American society.
I don't think an intelligent cap
italist would find it very hard to
reply to the Socialist program with
which the book concludes. But he
might find it hard to answer the
pictures.
AS a bit of propaganda, the book
is exceedingly powerful-and un-
usually interesting.
The book is published by Simon
and Schuster, and costs $3.50. In
cidentally, it carries an eloquent in

Socialist candidate for president.
