OF it that it looks for dictatorship or
for an attempt to bring dictatorship
about. That remains to be seen-un-
less, OF course, you happen to belong
to the group which considers that
dictatorship is something which we no
longer need to wait for, but have al
ready with us. The significant thing
about the Mercury article is that,
when it accuses the New Deal of
propaganda in purpose similar to that
Of current European tyrannies and in
extent far exceeding them, it goes
pretty well into proof. 1t could be read
with profit by any taxpayer. The
author is Gordon Carroll.
ELSEWHERE on this page there is
reviewed a book by Mr.. Quincy
Howe. which has as its theme the idea
that England is rapidly conquering the
United States, and that unless We do
something quickly We will shortly be
annexed as one Of the British posses
sions. So it may be pertinent to quote
little from an article which appears
in the September Mercury called
Ninety y-Nine-Per-C Cent British which
is written by an English writer and is
in defense Of the idea that America has
not yet quite taken over the tight little
isle
There are those, says this piece, who
hold that it has, and that England has
completely succumbed to Americaniza-
ton. But on the other hand, says this
author, The domestic uses of ice are
unknown TO our teeming millions.

OH, SAY, CAN YOU SEE! BY Lewis
Browne. New York: The Macmil-
Ian Co.
THIS is a hilarious novel given over
to recounting the experiences of
a young Russian scientist in our own
United States. 1t Is not without its
sting for our own follies and preten-
sions, and IS. on the whole, highly
amusing reading.
1t tells how young Ivan Feodorovitch
KraSsnaumov came to California to
improve his education As an ichthy-
ologist, and how ne was confirmed
in his suspicion that all Is not as rosy
in capitalist State as its moving
pictures would have simple Commun-
lists believe. He finds that the tnsti-
tuition Of research which had invited
him to come and study with 1t, Is the
monument OF careerist, whose inter-
est In science does not begin to equal
his thirst for publicity and personal
honors. He finds that love can be
false. He finds that justice can be
both too quick and too slow. He finds
that honesty ia ot An ineecapab bic

work" OF organizations which busily
work toward the nefarious ends men
toned. OF these the poor union is
the foremost. the most deadly, the
most pernicious. Others are the
Council on Foreign Relations and the
Foreign Policy Association. Mr.. Howe
who clearly cannot be fooled on any
point, has gotten the names OF the
directors OF the groups, and points
out triumphantly that the same people
appear repeatedly on all three lists.
AS he sees it, any effort to main
tain friendly relations between the
two great English-speaking nations
OF the world is mask for trick to
get us into an obligation to finance or
otherwise aid the red coats. There
are, he says, large numbers of Ameri-
cans so unpatriotic that they prefer
polo, yacht races and fox hunts" :"
leaving it to the great American un-
washed" (his own term to uphold
the national spirit by attending base
ball games Is this not shocking? :?
Other samples Of his logic are equally
priceless.
One wonders what has animated
the composition OF this book. Such
wonderment, however, IS the only at
tention which it merits.
And yet, one should not dismiss it
too lightly. We already have red,
yellow and black menaces in our
midst. II we take Mr.. Howes word
for it and believe in a White Peril,
too, then there would seem to be no
course open to us but to set up in COM
petition to Hitler and practice racial
purity" Would that, we wonder,
bring Mr.. Quincy Howe any greater
satisfaction?

have been an ambitious lot, but the

readily that they have fallen short
Of it. How well he lived, poor poet, in
deed!
Prof. Erskine has dealt properly
enough by him here, in this novel Of
the days which preceded his disap-
pearance. He has been conventional
in representing Francois as sinner,
but more sinned against than guilty
He has carried him through pretty
conventional adventures, too. His
theme is that Francois. after meeting
with one particularly bright flame, re-
formed in his heart, but found it very
difficult to accomplish reform before
the world. He was then 80 and known
to be a thief. 1t was a complicated
undertaking to re-establish his repu-
tation under the circumstances
1t was his efforts to do SO, accord
the torture chamber Of the Bishop Of
Orleans, where he had much water
for his drink" and where only the
personal Intervention OF King Louis
saved him. After that he hid himself
in a hamlet and lived virtuously tu-
toring the child Of an apothecary and
rearing his own daughter-the child
OF Catherine. And that was the end
OF him, says Prof. Erskine.

ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY AMER
Joan TO DO HIS DUTY. BY
Quincy Howe. New York: Simon
& Schuster.
II HIS IS as funny a book as has
come to the reviewers attention
for long time. The search for and
advertisement OF menace, to be sure,
is generally funny. But nothing in
the menace-f1nding business OF which
the reviewer has a memory quite
comes up to the case which Mr.
Quincy Howe Of the Editorial Board
of Simon g. Schuster here, with fear
full gestures, discloses. America, he
announces, Is in the grips of a sinister
association, which has for its aim
the control of our foreign policy and
much OF our military strength. Its
tentacles are already firmly wrapped
about the body polite and the strangle
hold is well under way. We may ex-
pect the worst. And what, pray, is
this deadly foe to free American in
stitutions? Why-listen and die. It
is the English-Speaking Union.
Yes, it is the English-S Speaking
Union. You read Alright. The re-
viewer is not having fun with you.
She is having fun with Mr.. Quincy
Howe's little book.
For this book reveals that the Eng
lish-Speaking Union, that nice, placid
organization for aiding school teach
ers on tour and for providing Anglo
phile old ladies with an outlet for
their emotion toward the motherland,
Is really the instrument Of "interna-
tional bankers" who wish to make of
the United States q mere division of
the British Empire and insure that,
In the event of hostilities in the Pa
cific, it will be ourselves who bears
tn. defense of the crown dominions.
Now, fancy that.
And how does Mr.. Quincy Howe of
the Editorial Board OF Simon IL
Schuster prove his direful case? Why.
by point$y out that there Is, IN our
seemingly happy land. "9ritish nst.
