violence" he writes, "the multitudes
must be called upon to offer the
same sort of resistance as the Satya-
grahis have offered in India while
defending their contraband salt de-
posits. Thousands upon thousands
would voluntarily lie down a hum
dred-deep on the frontier to be
trampled under horses hoofs or
under iron tanks as we'll as under
soldiers boots. They would neither
run nor physically resist the onward
march of the enemy, but they would
leave only one alternative to the in
vaders: you can march in only over
our dead bodies! The non-violent
soldiers would oppose the invasion
with mass Satyagraha to the point
of mass death if necessary, which
would make the invasion a dreadful
experience for all concerned. If the
enemy's armed forces ride far above
in airplanes to avoid an engagement
with non-violent resisters the Satya-
grahis would employ the same meas
ures at airdromes. For the invaders
have to alight some place, some time,
to occupy the territory and to rule
the people"
He concludes, "the power of such
selfless, beatific and forgiving suffer-
ing has shown in India that armed
men cannot sustain their violence
against Satyagrahis for long time.
The invaders are likely to turn back
at this stage. In case they succeed
in breaking through the human wall

surance. for some time in force in
Great Britain, is there regarded as
success. Douglas Orr and Jean
Walker have told its story in Health
Insurance With Medical Care; the
British Experience"
For dramatic popularization of
the subject we can turn to the cru
sading DR.. De Kruif's why Keep
Them Alive?" and The Fight for
Life" From sociological point of
view, Janet Thornton has written
The Social Component in Medical
Care and Rene Sand Health and
Human Progress. In these the eco
nomlc factor is given due impor-
tance. A sincere attempt to inter-
pret the medical profession to the
lay public is made by David Riesman
in Medicine in Modern Society"
But one who takes a more decided
stand is Bertram Bernheim, a pro-
fessor OF surgery at Johns Hop
kins. In his book, Medicine at the
Crossroads" he makes the point
that crisis threatens, and that un-
less the medical profession volun-
tarily makes changes, Government
agencies will interfere. The chal-
lenge that these writer's present
plans for meeting is a national one
that medical discovery be made ef-
fective in the service of the people.

examples Of Satyagrahic successes
from the life of Gandhi.
1t seems to the reviewer a very
complete thing-as a description and
history of the civil disobedience
movement 1t shows the plan be-
hind the riots and fasts which have
been sensationally, but spasmodically
played up in our Western press; it
reveals the Indian revolt as a de-
liberately reasoned thing: it gives us
a picture of Gandhis methods which
is highly enlightening. Satyagraha,
it says, consists in 13 definite steps,
no one Of which may be taken with
out preparation of the ground. The
first of these steps, it tells us, is a
cause and the last Is the taking over
of the government by the aggrieved
to whom the government has denied
justice. From beginning to end the
procedure is described here, as
Gandhi has ordered it. The author
it should be said, has been a disciple
of the Mahatma and took part in
the famous March to the Sea" with
which the civil disobedience cam
paign IN India opened.
AS to the manner in which West
ern countries might use Satyagraha
to resist war, Mr.. Shridharani admits
that test of the system on so large
a scale has never been made, but
feels sure that 1t could be borne out.

our pattern the l3 steps would be
used to Offset their efforts
One can only say for the notion
that it is painfully logical. If war
is to be resisted, it must be on other
terms than those of the war makers
so much our own experience has
taught us. Fighting for peace with
the weapon Of aggression has so far
been failure, and scarcely seems
likely to be otherwise at any time.
Whether or not a nation bent on
conquest could be shamed in the
manner suggested by Mr.. Shrid-
harani seems dubious. But one
thing is clear to date and that is
such nations are not shamed by
anything else. They are not
ashamed Of bombing civilians, they
are not ashamed of using tanks and
airplanes against naked savages
armed with spears, they are not
ashamed of attacking merchant
shipping on the high seas. Maybe
"lnslstence on truth" would put them
out OF countenance. A nation which
tried 1t and triumphed would have
degree Of moral superiority un-
paralleled in the history OF civiliza-
tion.

In High Place
BY William Bro,Dn Melonev
Ne1O York.: Alfred A. Knopf.

6y W1Hldm BrO1Dn MelOney.
NeU York: Alfred A. Knopt.
This is one more horrifying novel
about the atrocities committed
against the defenseless by the Nazi
government. The Nazis, to be sure,
are not specifically named, nor is
Germany. We are simply given
q picture of a European nation
which worships power and which
has accepted the incarnation of
this power in the person of one
leader. However. the identity is
beyond any possible question clear.
The story has a good dramatic
theme. 1t is that the leader suf-
fers from q mortal illness from
which he can be healed only by a
particular delicate operation. Just
two surgeons are known to be able
to perform that operation and they
are both Jews. One has fed to
America-fled for his life. The 9TH
er has disappeared after being ar
rested and tortured. The leader
therefore seems, by his own acts,
doomed to die.
But, as a reader expects, the sec
ond surgeon is found. He Is brought
into the presence Of his sick enemy
and ordered to make a diagnosis.
He announces that the operation is
necessary. And he agrees to per-
form 1t. He is offered his choice
of rewards, even to amnesty for his
people. He refuses everything, how
eyer, for he says that he cannot
treat with so faithless q creature
as the leader.
So far 50 good. The plot follows
honorably traditional lines and keeps
up an honorably traditional sus-
pense. But. once the operation is
performed and the leader on h:s
way to new lease on life, the au-
thor's grip slackens. The situation
seems too much for him, and he
brings In a deus ex machina in the
person Of disgruntled storm troop
er who unimaginatively assassinates
the surgeon. That is all. Nothing
seems to have been resolved and
the irony Of the conception Is not
contaminated. It makes 0 nat un-
satisfying ending.

by the separate nations, is still war.
And a war to end war can be, we
know as destructive and terrible as
a war without benefit of ideals. 1t
will still be war. That is the fact
which has broken down all the
schemes for peace insurance to date.
Moreover, since no war has ever
yet been fought without idealistic
justifications by its makers, we may
even fear when war comes that the
very appearance of the pacifistic
justification may mean deceit; we
may suspect that it has been de-
llberately chosen to lead us into a
conflict which for any other reason
We would refuse to support. We
may remember that we have already
fought once believing that we were
ending war for all time by so doing.
This is the chain of reasoning which
is inevitably set turning by the ap-
pearance of new schemes for peace.
1t IS somewhat startling, there
fore, to pick up the present volume
and find there, blandly and matter
of-factly offered, system by which
war may be combatted without the
paradox of pacifistic fighting. This
is the system which Gandhi has
used in India to obtain from the
British government, without vio-
lence. the reforms which .he desires
for the Indian people. 1t is called
Satyagraha, which means insist
ence on TRUTH and is more or less
familiar to most of us under the
name of civil disobedience. What
we probably do not know about it,
however, is that it is a definite pro-
gram of action worked out in ac-
cordance with definite technique;
and what we certainly have never
thought Of concerning it is, by Mr..
Schridharani's word, that it is by
no means an exclusively Oriental
mode of behavior, but is-he says
perfectly adaptable to our own
pressing problems, particularly to
that of resistance to war. He re-
minds us, indeed, that civil dis
obedience has already been tried in
our history and has been honored
among us.
Westerners Have
Used System.
THE final dedication Of Socrates, /"
he writes, was an individuals
Satyagraha against the city-state.
Macswiney's hunger strike in prison
during the Irish home rule move
ment is still another Western ex-
ample of an individual employing
Satyagraha against a government.
Henry Thoreau's single : handed
fight against slavery in Massa-
chusetts, in the form of his refusal
to pay taxes to a State which prac-
ticed it, is one more Western evi-
dence of the practical utility of
Satyagraha on an individual basis. "
And so this author suggests that,
in our present harrassed state, we
once more make use of civil diso-
bedience against the evils which
would devour us. His book is a
text, directing us how to proceed and
quoting US highly encouraging ex-
