NNE of the most important novels of the sea-
~ son, a boot that gives mature, interpre-
tative story Of pre-war Europe's society strata,
is the ong-awaited Europa" by Robert Brit
fault (Sricbner's; s275). who should be remem-
oered for his volumes on anthropology.
Hailed as the book that actually was going
to give the pampered society queens and lions
their just dues. Europa" fails as a social mas
! terpiece, but smashes through a tremendous
novel.
Mr.. Brifault has drawn his characters with

velopment Of his theme leads the reader into
splendid story Of pre-war Europe.
! What the author is driving at isn't quite
clear in many spots He brings forth contra
dictory points and then fails to choose a path.
| What his book is in short, is a great drama
unfolded by an author striving to analyZe and
weigh pre-war Europe. 1t is important and
an erudite volume and the Book World recon-
mends it to all those interested in good ntera-

Permit me to present a Social
list criticism of your editorial en-
titled, THE Giant Walks Again."
which was built around william
Green's optimistic outlook.
It is quite natural that the edi-
torial should contain contradic-
tions, because it was an attempt
to prove that capitalism is about
to win its battle against itself.
1t is obvious that capitalism is
self-destructive, because it con-
centrates the wealth in fewer and
fewer hands, and throws more and
more workers out of jobs, while it
at the same time depends upon
mass consumption for its exist
ence. One may argue that even
though capitalism destroys itself
in the long run, it does not follow
a straight downward line but its
road to oblivion consists of ups
and downs, with the downs more
and more dominating, and that
we have one of the upgrade
periods ahead of us.
This might have been true If
the conditions which led to the
collapse had been replaced by
conditions which, according to ex-
perience, would bring about
temporary recovery.
But, unfortunately, the condi-
tons which would precipitate
collapse are still present, and in
a more serious form than in 1929.
Some of the factors were listed in
your editorial in the paragraphs
which follow your uplifted fore
finger and your But.
In those paragraphs you admit
that purchasing power is tagging
behind and that unemployment is
not decreasing. You admit that
the share of the national income
which the wage workers get is
relatively lower than in 1929 You
even admit that machine tool in
dustry, the industry which makes
labor displacing machinery, is
busy. There is another fact which
you don't mention, the fact that
the banks are bursting with de-
posts, which is a very sad situa-
ton.
These facts would in good times
have marked the approach of
collapse. How can they now indi-
cate a recovery? They don't, dear
Times. There is no recovery IN
sight and for the following
reasons:
Industrial profits are, largely
speaking, not collected as money,
but remain in the form Of unsold
goods. In bygone days these I'M
sold commodities were exchanged
for labor power, utilized in build
ing new proft-making enter
prises for the capitalists.
In this way the unsold goods
were actually sold, and the profits

LONGS HISTORY CHALLENGE
TO PROGRESSIyES

BY Roger Ackland
May express a thought?
Huey Pierce Long is dead. In the
future this may or not mean any,
thing to Americans, but 1 have a
feeling that it should. At least it
will have meaning to those of us
who occasionally stop and think
about this life that whirls around us.
Now that Huey is dead and gone,
I think that reflection will prove to
us just how simple a matter it is
for one man, shrewd, ambitious and
well-tutored in the school of this
fierce American life of ours to seize
the club of power and wave it men
acingly and effectively over a con-
siderable section of the nation.
If the political, social and eco
nomic conditions of the state of
Louisiana are, in the near future,
aired to the world, am afraid that
we all must prepare for a shock.
What Long has done in Luisiana
will seem incredible to the lay mind,
but every lawyer, every student of
political science, every student Of
history and every thinker that
works, unhampered by asinine con-
victions will not only be shocked,
but will further realize how simple
thing was Longs accomplishment
and how inevitable such things are
in the face Of the ineYitability of
men of Longs cahber.
This might be challenge and
an indictment; challenge to the
progressive and an indictment Of
the conservative.
To some it may prove the ad-
vantage of a check Of power made
possible through system Of inte-
graz part Of which is states rights.
