When he gets in touch with this
department, he can select one OF
several good books
His review is as follows.
In these days when it behooves
us to look beyond the horizon of our
! own country's boundaries, it is a
delightful experience to meet a book
like Mexico" by Stuart Chase.
Combining his profound economic
training with a natural and roman
tic love of color, Mr.. Chase has
written an exciting and brilliant
description of Mexico as it really
is.
No other book in recent years has
presented a more alluring picture Of
the Mexican nation where flowers
are more important to the people
than motor cars" and "one is bathed
An friendliness if not in hot water"
It dispels the prevalent legend
that the Mexicans are an unscrupu-
lous race of revolutionists and BAN
ats.
All through the book there is a
stimulating combination of travel,
history, economics, archaeology, re-
lieion, play and human nature.
After reading IL, nearly every one
4 will want to go to Mexico.
