The diminutive Republic of San Mar
mo, high in the Apennines of central
Italy, is said to be the oldest state in
Europe, having been founded in the
fourth century, A. D. Its recent stamps
include two, souvenir sheets, issued last
year, showing the bust of our own
Abraham Lincoln. This is in line with
the growing tendency on the part of
many foreign countries to honor ma
tional heroes of the United States on
their postal paper.
The fifth and last of this quintet
of miniature states is Vatican City,
seat of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy,
and, since 1929, sovereign state with
in the city of Rome in Italy. Its stamps
though few in number, include attrac-
tive pictorials. AS in the case of An

They parted at hurdle-gate at the

The other path wound down to a
whitewashed cottage, rented by Iris
grandmother-an active, independent
lady Of 81. It was only an accident to
her leg which caused her to accept the
services of her grandchild, who had
given up her own holiday to look after
her:
The sacrifice had proved to be not
altogether loss, for she had met Cour-

was gradually getting her down. It had
lasted now for weeks. First, the flowers
had to be sacrificed-a hopeful collec-

After the glare Of the unprotected
Fells, it was relief to walk under the
shade of the lime avenue which led
up to the Hall. She noticed enviously
the vivid green of the lawn in front
of the house and the beautiful flower

new swimming pool which was lined
with turquoise tiles.
She told herself that 1t held suf-

This is required reading for any
one who studies the causes of the
present war and the responsibility
for causing 1t. Careful newspaper
readers are already familiar with
much of its content, especially that
covered in British White Papers
released to the press after the begin
ming of hostilities. The book, after
presenting excerpts from Herr
Hitlers various references, to Poland
prior to January, 1899, is chiefly
concerned with the developments
which marked the deterioration of
German-Polish and German British
relations, following the British
Polish pact.
Throughout this highly interest,"
ing official diplomatic correspon-
dence runs the tragic story of nations
which could not pay the price for
avoidance Of war and, therefore, had
to accept war. The price was to

tige-now or later.
The price could not be paid, and,
with the inevitability of Greek
tragedy, war again came to the
world. B. M. NICK.

porting of a generation of scrib-
blers who are apparently unable
to distinguish between realism and
plain old-fashioned laziness.
Mr.. Komroff's purpose is to show
us the bewilderment in which the
postwar generation has grown to
its maturity. 1t sound as hack
neyed as the strike novel when put
thus, but that is unjust to it. The
treatment is fine, thing of true
creative imagination. The device
used is to introduce group Of men,
about hundred, struggling along
through unfamiliar territory after
a battle in which they have gotten
lost from the rest of their company.
They do not know where they are
going, they do not know where they
are, they do not know what the
battle was about, they do not know
who was the enemy. They simply
feel that they must belong to some
thing and that, if they keep on,
they may join somebody who can
tell them what it has all been about.
But this does not happen. The
hope is simply instructive. There
is nothing in the world Of these
men to justify it.
From this lost timeless cosmos the
men gradually come into the spe-
cif1c world of the 1930s. They have
never found the thing to which
they belonged, they have discovered
no place for themselves, they have
not developed as the years have
passed over them. They are still
lost. But they know, by this time,
what problems are common to them
all and they have acquired sense
of brotherhood. That is about all
Of the book that can be told in a
review. And, as said, that does not
do the work justice. It's quality has
derived from the passionate imagin-
alton of its author, a quality of Bit
ter grief for the lost years and a
profound understanding of the des-
perate puzzlement of the disinher-
tied. That raises the book above
its mere matter. It Is q sound
literary achievement and very much
worth its reading. NC. r.

The March of the Hundred
BIZ Manuel Komrof. Ne,D York:
TO1Dnrd McCHnn.

By Manuel Komrot. NeD YORK:
CoDard McCdnn.
There seems to be a heartening
disposition on the part of authors OF
late to do something original about
the political novel. 1t is high time,
too. For almost three years now po-
litical novels have outnumbered any
other kind, and practically all Of
them have been the hattest kind OF
stereotypes. They have had q hero
who is nobly opposed to the capital
ist regime, generally a hero of cap
italist background. They have had
a, labor leader friend of this hero.
They have had factory full Of fine
idealistic souls, all of whom love
symphony music and fair play. And
then, for the sake of that well-known
thing, they also have girl who
shares the hero's interests. Some
times this girl is the boss daughter,
sometimes she is a labor leader her
self, and sometimes she is just a lit
tie daughter of the people chock full
of ginger, wit, Karl Marx and justice.
All these factors lead inevitably to a
strike and a riot, in which brutal
scabs strive to put the real workers
down.
Somebody then gets hurt. It may
be that the labor leader friend is
killed outright, or it may be that the
girl is wounded-the most daringly
realistic novelist would not, of course,
kill her clear of. In the meantime,
the workers families bravely starve
and the cynical capitalist owner
engages in financial plotting which
Is destined to result in war. Down
at the city hall gang of corrupt
politicians simultaneously manipu-
lates the laws to shield the wealthy
and oppress the poor. Quite often
one of these unattractive characters
casts lustful eye on the girl friend
of the hero, which naturally adds
tremendously to the sense Of drama.
And there you have it. The formula
seems to have been practically oblig-
atory on our most esteemed publish
ers, for there is hardly q one of them
who has not brought out one such
work Of art, and some of them have
put their money and their honor be-
hind several. These are the things
which keep q book reviewers life
from being just pure velvet.
Recently, however. there has been,
as said, some attempt on the part
of the authors to put little Gre
ative effort into their social-po-
Itical connections. Some Of our
writer's seem at last to have got
ten the idea that a novel about
that strife which at all times in
human history has been waged be-
tween man and man need not
necessarily be tract. A case in
point is white Ben," Clemence
Danes last book. In it the author
gets around over the social scene
pretty comprehensively, but she uses
her imagination in her going and
does not forget that she is sup
posed to be an artist, even though
she is writing Of contemporary mat
tiers. And now we have Mr.. Kom-
rolf, also writing a social-political-
philosophical novel, and he like
wise brings the perspective Of art
to his task. Most grateful this u

Files on Parade

By John O'Hdrd. NeU YORK;:
Hdrcourt Brace and Co.
This is a collection Of Mr.. o'1Iara's
short stories, and the reviewer has
no hesitancy in saying she would
vastly rather read Mr.. o'Haras
short stories than Mr.. OHaras
novels. For in the short-story form
the young man shows taste and q
nice sense of values. In the novel,
however, he has frequently been q
very bad actor.
His collection here puts him much
in the Saroyan-Shaw school Of
short-story thought. That is to say,
he produces brief sketches in which
there is an abrupt, bitter laugh at
fate and an implication that man
kind in general does not know all
the answers yet, even though Mr..
O'Hara does. His skill lies In his
making Of his sketches interesting.
Taking one up you want to 60 on
with it to the finish, and that Is, of
course, the only real test of any
story-teller. If he cannot hold his
readers he may write elegant prose
until his arm drops oh-it will be
wasted.
Somehow, these sleekly disillu-
stoned young men Of the sos seem
step-children Of the jazz age, re-
acting to the hard times Of their
decade In fashion almost identical
to that used by veterans Of the 20s
