Brief Reviews of Books

made this history one Of consistent
failure.
Democracy, Its Problems.
1T IS LATER THAN YOU THINK.
BY Max Lerner. New York: The
Viking Press.
A statement of the need for lib
erals to take an aggressive attitude
in the interest of democratic govern
ment. With criticisms of the pre-
vailing forms of relationships.
LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND FRA
TERNITY. BY Fulton j. Sheen.
New York: The Macmillan Co.
A member of the faculty of the
Catholic University of America, Mon
signor Sheen, discusses here the er-
rors of Capitalism and Communism
and offers the solution of our prob
lens through true fraternity-the
application of the Christian spirit
to the world. Clearly argued.
TWENTY YEARS ARMISTICE,
1918-1938. BY William Orton.
New York: Farrar & Rinehart.
An analytical study of the two
decades which have passed since the
armistice, purporting to show what
has brought the world to its present
parlous state and to throw new light
on recent political events of inter-
national Importance. Interesting.
Far East.
| JAPANESE TERROR IN CHINA.
BY H. j. Timperley. New York:
Modern Age Books.
The China correspondent for the
Manchester Guardian writes only Of
atrocities for which he adduces
proof. They are enough. The book
is sickening-and factual.
AMERICAN DIPLOMACY CON-
CERNING MANCHURIA. BY
Stephen c. Y. Pan.
An analysis of Americas attitude
toward the problem Of Manchuria,
written by a distinguished Chinese
journalist, who received his doc
torate from Catholic University and
attended the School of Foreign Serv-
ice in Georgetown University. Au-
thoritative.
History.
VALLEY FORGE. BY Harry Emer-
son Wildes. New York: The Mac

A study of the significance of the
battlefield in our history and of the
men and personalities which con-
tributed to its fame. Very interest

perfect community Coward which
they all brashly strive) can only be
attained by destruction of the i'm
perfect. That would mean the de-
struction Of everybody, however. and
so they compromise by choosing
those who differ with themselves for
elimination, for they have not quite
the needed courage of their convic-
tions. A great basis this-for the
foundation of perfection! A Pelion
on Ossa of intolerance. Well, it is
an interesting world that We live in.
The reviewer is glad, indeed, that
Mr.. Harrington permits her to be
numbered among the Christians.
But-even so-she is not going to be
organized. She will never take her
solitary tramp as an act in the in
terest of any faith; she refuses to
consider her pleasure in seagulls and
tidal marshes as righteous. She
does those things because she wants
to do them. Maybe some Of the
great, revered and sainted spirits
of the past have performed their
saving labors with the same motive?
It does not hurt to think so, anyway.

such work was available. The need
remained in her mind and eventu-
ally she returned to the Islands to
paint the tropic plants which had
so impressed her. She spent five
summers there in preparing the H.
lustrations reproduced IN the pres
ent work-30 color plates done in
the manner Of the flower prints Of
the early 10th century, but with
more modern color work. Her
thought was to create a souvenir
book of the Islands which would be
of itself treasurable thing to have.
1t would seem that she succeeded.
The descriptive text is the work
of Mrs. Mary Dillingham; Frear,
whose husband was at one time
governor of the islands. Mrs. Frear
has spent her life in Hawaii, being
a daughter of one of the old mis-
sionary families. Her text gives a
description of the growth Of each
plant, stated In clear, untechnical
language.
AS said, the book is a beautiful
thing. The season being what it is,
one thinks of it naturally as gift
for friends who are flower loving.

This story is strongly reminiscent
of John Steinbecks "Of Mice and
Men" 1t lacks the form and in
tensity of the Steinbeck book, but
it is well written and Mr.. Smitter
has an ear for genuine conversa-
ton. 1t is, in addition, of special
significance in that its principals
are workers In giant industry and
their problems are problems of
thousands of Americans. The book
is directed solely at the struggles
of Benny and Russ as individuals.
The problem of organized labor does
not figure in the story. But always
present is the delicate relationship
of men and machines, conquered
and conqueror. Mr.. Smitter knows
men. He knows machines, which is
almost as rare. He also knows how
to write.-E. r.

This is still another political

offering no constructive substitutes.
The attitude of the writer seems
to be whatever is. is wrong" Such
palliatives as communism, fascism,
naziism, accepted by other political
reformerS because, we suspect, they
are in opposition to the accepted
forms of government in this coun-
try, also fall under the ban of Boake
Carter. They, too. are well estab-
lished in other countries, and, there
fore necessarily, are not to be tol-
Grated by the well-informed re-
former.
There is no doubt that some Of the
chapters IN this illuminating book
have both justice and common sense
as their allies. Carter's denunci-
alton of many of the New Deal
policies, such as those dealing with
war debts, decentralization and
business. strike responsive chords
from readers fed up with many of

to strike blow against the menac-
ing Britons, and he has done so.
In this work he brings to the world
tidings that England is not as power
full as she once was, and that her
empire is in process of slipping from
her. This is, of course, not exactly
news. The circumstances have been
observed and commented on by a
wide array of writers and statesmen
in recent years, many of them Eng
lishmen, as, for example, Aldous
Huxley and Winston Churchill. The
ordinary newsprints, too, 1t may be
mentioned, have done good deal
to apprise the public of the same
facts. So that Mr.. Briffault would
seem to be a bit behindhand.
What he does do, however. Is to
undertake to show causes. He says
that England's predominance IN the
past has lain solely In her control
Of wealth. It has not lain In her
craftsmanship her vision, her arms
or her venturesome spirit or In any
other myth-celebrated capacity.
It has lain instead in the fact that
she has had control of so vast an
amount of the worlds goods. Her
people, he continues, are wholly
materialistic and consequently have
been solidly behind a government
built up on materialistic aims. But
now, as he sees 1t, the picture is
changed.
Today, according to Mr.. Briffault,
the English people are obsessed by
q fear so strong that it has made
them forget their long-cherished
economic well-being. That fear, we
are told, is the fear Of social change.
Acting on it, England is backing the
relationships of Europe and Asia
tMr. Brihault seemingly does not
