being cast up on alien shores to
die. remain in the stream of politics
after their exile; he has demon
strated, in short, that the exile may
be vital factor in political life in
spite of the disabilities under which
he struggles. The concept has q
theoretical sound, but Mr.. Feucht-
wanger has imbued it with abundant
life and made first-rate novel of it.
His story concerns the fight put
up by group of German refugees
in Paris when the Nazi government
undertakes to suppress the Paris
Gazette, in which they express their
opposition to Hitler and his regime.
A wide range of characters is drawn
into the action; refugee musicians,
scholars, writers, businessmen, wives,
daughters and youths are brought
into the story and made to show,
by their conduct, that political in
fluences are of inescapable force
in their lives. The story opens with
the abduction of one of the Ga
zette's best anti-Nazi writers; it is
ascertained that he has been kid
mapped into Germany and the pa
per institutes q campaign against
the outrage. Acting through Sc
cret agent, the German government
formulates plot to corrupt the edi-
torial staff. Pressure is brought to
bear on the backer Of the Journal,
whose family is still in Germany.
and. little by little, all members
of the refugee company are drawn
into the fight. The original cause
is lost sight Of; the kidnapped man
ceases to be the center of the cru
saders' interest and the crusade it
self absorbs every one. Some TRACE
dies result, but the battle Is a gallant
one.
Mr.. Feuchtwanger writes the thing
with his usual effectiveness. He is
big and gusty and full of sentiment;
he is also a keen analyst and q
highly competent plot spinner.

has America to offer them today?
Have they grasped these oppcrtuni-

By Norman Bel Geddes. Ne

The coming of the automobile has
brought about tremendous change
in the lives of the American people.
It has, at the same time, brought
challenge to every American city,
county and State. Although the
automobile is one Of the greatest of
mass production devices yet de-
veloped, 1t is the one major trans
port medium for which no planned
or adequate travel routes have been
provided.
Millions upon millions of dollars
have gone into the development of
roads which are no better than
makeshifts insofar as solving the
permanent problem of providing
fast, safe motorways is concerned.
Cities are congested past the danger
point; major shifts of business dis

blighted areas in most of them are
the threatened results of lack Of

lated from the German BY
Villa and Ed,Din Muir. NeU
York.: The Viking Press.
The novel built around the life
of the modern political refugee has
passed through several stages Of
development since its first appear
ance, following Hitler's initial per-
secutions of the Jews. The exile was
then sufficiently new in our time
for the writer's to feel that no more
than a statement of his existence
was necessary. So we had an out
pouring of highly emotional novels
which did little more than describe
the refugees sufferings. After that,
refugees becoming an unhappy COM
monplace, the authors improved the
theme a bit, and gave us stories of
life in the refugee settlements, dem
onstrating the impossibility of the
uprooted ones re-establishing them
selves in foreign lands and tracing
their tragic disintegration. In his
present book Mr.. Feuchtwanger
moves the development still farther
forward.
He has written a novel about a
group of refugees who, instead Of

Chad Hanna
By Walter D. Edmonds. BoS-
ton. Little. BrO7Dn r. IN

LOIL. LtLLLe, 6TOlUH q 20.
There is always some peril to an
author in the acquisition of a rep
utation for profound and detailed
research in periods and places of
the past. Such reputation bears,
indeed, double edge 1t can bring
a man fame, but it can also get be-
tween him and his work. Having
won a name for being a meticulous
pursuer of historical accuracy,
writer may find himself hampered in
using his imagination Having re-
searched once. he may find himself
elected. by popular demand, to 60
on reSearching. Research, indeed,
may come to take the place of i'm
agination, may dispense with the
necessity of building plot, may be-
come an end in itself.
Something of this sort seems to
have happened to Mr.. Edmunds in
this present work. He has demon
strated, in his past works on the Erie
Canal country, that he is a highly
competent investigator of the mores
Of the "canallers" of a hundred years
ago. Now he adds to his virtuosity
novel in which the canal lore is
mingled with new strain, the lore
OF the circus. He has his hero, Chad
Hanna, join passing circus in order
to escape the consequences of having
helped runaway slave. The outfit
"a little one-ring show it is, too
travels through the towns of North
ern New York with varying success.
Sometimes, it is received with huzzas
by the populace, sometimes it Is
run out Of town, sometimes it has
ARRAYS with rival circuses. Chad
falls in love with lady rider,
marries, and becomes equestrian di-
rector. Other members of the troop
quarrel, fight and crack jokes. And
that is about all there is to it.
It's limitations Notwithstanding,
Mr.. Edmunds informs us that he put
three years of work on the volume.
The research habit obviously had
him. He could not just put down
that Chad was in show; he must
make it real show, and he must
make the dates of his flctional ac-
count of its movements correspond
to the movements of the real circus
a hundred years ago. He must
verify every turn Of speech, every
habit of life in a machineless age.
And so he has obviously gone into
much investigation for his subject
by his own word, three years of it.
The result is magnificent back
ground for simple, childish, little
tale that is informative as to how
early American circuses operated,
but of little value as a work of fic-
ton. Still, it is quite readable. The
fact that it was serialized in the
Saturday Evening Post speaks for 1t
eloquently enough. NC. r.
