the feature Of tapering from top 10
base.
The Johnson farmhouse, Wing
spread. Is built In four long arms and
Is also immense in all proportions as
compared with its height. As pic
tured In profile in the Forum it re-
sembled q giant tractor In the act
Of rolling across field. As seen from
above, it looks like a conventional
factory Of the more recognizable mod
ern kind
The Hanna house, however, as pic
tured In the Forum, has considerable
beauty. OF all the Wright designed
residences shown in the magazine it
looks most livable, the nerve-racking
confusion OF angles which marks most
OF the interiors Is here least apparent.
Lines run harmoniously where the eye
expects them to run and there Is suf-
fcient height in the rooms to accom-
modate a race Of people accustomed
to stand up-a feature which most Of
the pictured interiors do not show.
1t is interesting to note, perhaps,
that while the show places built by
Mr.. Wright have been homes OF the
wealthy, he has also designed homes
for humber incomes. The one fea-
tured in the Forum is the home OF
Mr.. Herbert Jacobs of Madison, Wis.
1t is a $500 structure and belongs to
a type which Mr. Wright visualAes as
the American home of the future He
calls it, indeed "Usonia," and "Uso-
MA" we are told, is his name for the
United States appropriated from
Samuel Butler).
1t is hard however, for the reviewer
to see much beauty in the photographs
OF Usonia, as they appear in the
Forum, for they resemble too much the
homes now maintained in up-to-date
poultry farms for fowls being fed for
the slaughter. It is low, fiat and
choppy, and, in appearance at least,
crowded. 1t may be miracle Of CON-
fort to the body, but assuredly it offers
little comfort to the senses. and it
would be torture to many eyes. Or
so the Forum presents it.
Mr.. Wright, in his own comment on
this creation, says caustically that it
shows, How sitting the little Colonial
hot boxes, hallowed by Government or
not, really are where Usonian family
life is concerned" And goes on 10
compare proudly, "You might easily
put two OF them" he says, each cost
ing more, into the living space of this
one and not go much outside the walls.
Here is moderate cost brick and wood
house that by new technology OF a
lifetime has been greatly extended in
scale and comfort There is
freedom Of movement and privacy, too,
afforded by the general arrangement
here, unknown to the current box
ment. Let us say nothing about
beauty ="
All right, let us say something about
beauty then. If We happen to prefer
it, the country is still. no doubt, free.
The Forum contains pictures Of vet
other homes built or planned BY Mr..
Wright. These are the. outstanding
ones. The reviewer is sorry not to be
more enthusiastic, but she still
plans on some Colonial boxment for
herself where there is overhead clear
ance for herself and friends not

structure was spread evenly over the

Imperial, however, came through un-

apprentices in his profession. It

Spring. Wis, long and low. so that it
melts into the countryside. Its name
in the Welsh means Shining Brow.
Some Of the most striking Photographs
in the Forum are OF this structure,
which embodies most Of the revolution
ary principles Of its owners artistic
creed.
The story OF his troubled personal
life Is closely connected with this home,
which he first built in 1911. In the
'20s he fell into difficulties which
seemed likely to interfere with his
work; he was unable to find commits
sions and for lack of money lost Talie-
sin to bank. In 1929, however, his
faithful friends intervened to put him
back on his feet. They restored
Taliesin to him and Incorporated him
as firm. Much Of his important work
has been done since then.
The camp, Ocatilla, was built in
1929, when Mr.. Wright undertook to
make plans for . great desert resort to
be called San Marcos In the Desert.
He wished to know what desert life
was. before making his design, and 80
with his family and a staff of nine
craftsmen he moved into the waste
land. Here he set up Ocatilla, Of
which he says 1t was actually built
there by ourselves. but as soon as we
left 1t was carried away by the In
dams"
The reviewer is bound to confess
that to her the pictures of this small
settlement which are presented in the
Forum look very much like cracker
boxes left accidentally strewn about
on the floor Of child's playroom. We
are assured, however, that the struc-
lures were miracles OF modernistic de-
sign. San Marcos, the resort. was kept
from naturalization by the depression

parture in the Forums editorial habits
and that 1t Is worthy Of the attention
Of everybody interested In the future Of

to be. on reception. an issue given over
to the work In architecture Of Frank
Lloyd Wright. written and designed
by Mr.. Wright himself.
Mr.. Wright; long has been the
prophet Of new design in American
building. We think, Of course, Of the
modern" Is dating from recent years,
from the postwar period at least.
Actually Frank Lloyd Wright has been
building houses which were outside any
precedent since 1894. He Is the orig
inator in this country Of the low
rooted, earth-clinging type Of dwelling
and, as early IS 1905. he introduced
into public buildings the Use OF metal
bound plate glass doors and windows,
all-metal furniture, air conditioning
and magnetic as an architectural ma
terial. He began his career in 1887
at the age OF Is. He has been q stormy
petrol all his long life, both in his
personal affairs and his professional.
Among the various triumphs OF his
uneven career are the Imperial Hotel
in Toxic, which had the very practical
distinction OF being one Of the few
heavy structures to survive the great
earthquake in 1928; his spectacular
home, Taliesin, in Wisconsin; his
desert camp, Ocatilla; the c. s. john
son Building at Racine, Wise, q plant
which is unlike any other in the
world: Wingspread. . farmhouse built
for Mr.. Herbert johnson just outside
Racine, and a home built for DR.. Paul
Hanna of Stanford University. There
are also hundreds of houses scattered
through the West and Middle West
which bear the stamp OF his original
mind. Pictures and descriptions of
these are contained in the Forum, to-
gether with reproductions of archi-
tect's drawings.
In the Imperial Hotel Mr.. Wright
used the cantilever principle. and made

I SPEAK FOR THE CHINESE. BY
Carl Grow. New York: Harper
& Brothers.
THIS is q book from the pen Of the
man who wrote the recently best
selling 400, 100000 Customers" That
work. as readers will remember, dealt
with the habits of the Chinese in
business, and its author knew whereof
he wrote. for he had been for many
years engaged in the China trade
himself. Now he writes of the political
situation in his adopted land and re-
veals by the way that his interests
in China have not been limited to
commerce, but that he has assisted
in political maneuvers more than once
In recent decades.
His thesis in the present book Is
that the japanese offensive in Man
churia Is the outcome Of . long-laid
plan. The Japanese, he writes, SYM
pathized with Germany during the
World War and were only brought to
support OF the Allies by pressure. They
hoped to gain concessions in China
as a result OF their participation and
they have been watching ceaselessly
since for an opportunity to strike.
They have seized the present time
as one unlikely to produce serious
opposition. and 1t would seem that
their expectations in that direction
are justified.
All this, of course, has been written
before. and many times. too. But
Mr.. Crows statement OF the case has
several virtues to commend it. 1t is
short for one thing. it Is factual and
devoid Of any auctorial wishful think
Ing IN the field of politics, and it is
convincingly related. For a good
understanding OF the issues and for
light on the amazing mental phe-
nomenon known as japanese psy-
chology" 1t can be recommended,
THE FEDERALIsT. BY Alexander
Hamilton, John Jay and James
Madison. Sesquicentennial edition
by the National Home Library.
IN THESE days Of continuing con-
troversy about the Constitution.
The Federalist' should be required
reading.
This set of burning essays on the
necessity OF union under a strong
central government for the l3
States was written late in 1897 and
early in 1888 by Hamilton, Madison
and Jay under the name first Of "A
Citizen of New York" and later of
''Publius."
To them is due much of the credit
for the ratification Of the Constitu-
ton, achieved in New York, where
the essays were published in the semi
weekly Independent Journal, by only
two votes.

Of submarine service. going through

the L-9 rs executive omcer and later
skipper. Since the war he has had
six years in destroyers and five aboard
capital ships. He was chief engineer
of the airplane carrier U. S. s. Lex

He disclaims any intention Of at.

work. acknowledging that he has con.
fined himself to the task Of Dor.
traying the wartime adventures Of
the L-9 and her ships company in
the hope that "others in the L-boat

The net result is a book which not

high among the better war books
and which certainly will leave the
reader with far keener appreciation

CASES ON INTERNATIONAL LAW.
BY James Brown Scott and Walter
H. Z. Jaeger. st. Paul: West
Publishing Co.
A MID intensified assaults through
= out the world upon the rule of
law among nations and fragrant dis
regard for the obligation OF govern
ments and peoples toward each other
comes now q reassertion Of the in
tegrity Of international law in the
revision Of standard casebook.
DR.. James Brown Scott, secretary
Of the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace, and DR.. Walter
H. E. Jaeger, director Of graduate
research at Georgetown University
Law School. have undertaken in this
expanded work to present the law OF
nations IS 1t Is drawn from the prac-
tice Of some so nations Although the
decisions are based upon the municipal
law Of the nationality Of the court
the editors conclude that in spite OF
the influence Of local procedure and
local law the cases reported have been
decided lin accordance with the rules
and precepts Of international law
The stream IS indeed everywhere
colored by the soil through which II
reaches the sea, but the sea itself Il
International
Following this aim to make the
present casebook truly international
in scope the editors have abandoned
the close adherence to English and
American cases which characterized
the 1922 edition. Less than 20 per
cent of the cases reported have been
drawn from American judicial deci-
sions, and about so per cent from
the municipal courts Of foreign ma
tious, chiefly Great Britain. The i'm
portance attributed to arbitral de-
cisious u indicated by the fact that
they make up more than 20 per cent
Of the number Of cases.
The newcomer to international law
may be surprised by the assertion
that "the process Of recognition and
acceptance Of the law Of nations" is
becoming worldwide, in the light Of
the wave Of treaty violation and rulli-
fication Of the rights Of civilians and
neutrals in Ethiopia, Spain and China.
The explanation Is that the law of
nations Is much more than the law
Of war and comprehends a law of
peace aS well. &C. B. M.
