Silanpaa, you may decide Sally
Salminen's Mariana" (Farrar 4
Rinehart: S250) does not quite
meet the standard set BY her
Scandinavian contemporaries.
II is a very simple tale in very
simple language. Miss Salminen
wrote it in Finland in the Swed-
ish tongue. and it was translated
by Barrows Mussey. II involves
the life OF Mariana Nilsson who
grows UP on Finlands Alsnd
Islands.
From the first ii is clear that
nothing momentous will ever
happen to Mariana. And II
doesn't. Her father. Emil, has
gone off to America, leaving
their farm in the charge Of
Lovissa the mother. and her
children. Mariana is spared the
rigors of farm work, because Of
her comparative delicacy. After
her confirmation. she obtains
8 job in the small shop operated
by Captain Nyman. father Of
her girl friend. Nanny.
She hangs grimly on to this
position until she decides she
can no longer stand the solitude
of store in which customers
are rare. After leaving Captain
Nyman's employ. she is courted
by Young Stem soderberg. whom
She marries after considerable
doubt and misgiving.

But rebellion mounts within her.

agrees with the customs OF the
people and decides Mariana
should be made to assume her

Mariana finally revolts
against the authority Of in-laws

brings the story TO its close.
The whole narrative is MOTH

THE CAUSE OF OUR
ECONOMIC DEPRESSION

Editor The Times: The cause
which is generally mentioned for
our economic depression by the
progressive people is machine
production. With our system OF
machinery. today it is evident
that labor is displaced and the
reduced number OF working men
does not get wages high enough
to buy back what they produce.
Hence, things are naturally pill
ing up unsold and the msnufac-
turer has to stop production for
lack Of q buying market and
the depression lies long as well,
as there is no demand for COM
modites Then l Will say, un-
hesitatingly. that machine pro-
duction is the fund mental
cause Of our depression
But II is not the only cause.
Some philosophers claim that
man. when appearing in the
world, is obliged 10 work with
social condition which he has
not created. Therefore We have
a forceful example in the
United States for the last fifty
years. This country has the d.
mensiOns of a continent. She is.
with the possible exception Of
China. the richest country in the
world.
The original stock of the
American people comes from IN
telligent ancestors whose INTEL
lectual acumen was strongly
stimulated by the natural op-
portunities of a new environ
ment This country was a new
country which had 10 be devel-
oped- Capitalism, comparatively

was Mecca of the world. and
over fifty million people came TO
settle here with the hope Of
finding 3 better shelter. Among
those newcomers. fun many Of
them. took advantage Of our
liberal and intelligent homestead

Though our immigrants were
far ahead OF the hsrbsrisns IN
the scale Of development. vet

the sense that they will have 10

Il is no wonder that over 40
00o miles Of our railroads are
practically all built. Our cities,
small. medium-sized. and metro
politsn. are completely built up
for the time being We cannot
expect the capitalists will spend
billions OF dollars 10 duplicate

roads and railroads and cities
such as New York. Chicago.
Philadelphia. 3 altimore ST.
Louis. Los Angeles and Frisco.
