Moreover, it was said that a

This is a shockingly disappointing
book, for it gives every indication,
by title. subtitle CA Cat Of London
in Peace and War; and illustration
Of being a book about cat. But 1t
is not book about a cat. Or much
about a cat. 1t is almost altogether
the authors statement of her indig-
nation at the totalitarian powers
which would destroy the peace of
the world. Now such a statement
has a place, certainly-things being
what they are. But Miss Rosman's
particular one is not especially sig
nificant; 1t just joins in the prevail
ing chorus. Whereas, another good
cat book is really badly needed-and
not just now, either. Another good
cat book Is always badly needed.
But Miss Rosman has missed the
chance. She has cat. His name
is Samuel Penguin, and he is re-
markable cat, too, cat of quality.
That she asserts repeatedly. But
where she gives us one page about
Sam, she gives us twenty about the
Germans and their wickedness, and
the brave determination with which
she, her friends, relatives and all the
English are resisting. 1t is, as said,
all right. But the reviewer would
rather read about a good cat any
day. The cat pictures. with which
Miss Rosman's defiance Of the Nazis
Is illustrated, are, however. very hne.

J Paid Hitler
By Fritz ThySsen. Farrar e.

by FTlLe lHySSeH. F1rrQT q
Rinehart.
The whereabouts of the German
f1nancier, Fritz Thyssen, who is
known in history solely because he
helped Hitler to power. is now un-
known. His friends incline TO hope
that he is dead, for they find it
hard to imagine any alternative to
death except one of Hitler's prisons.
And Thyssen and the Fuhrer had
already ceased to be congenial when
Thyssen, in 1888, decided to live
outside the Reich. In fact, he did
not move a minute sooner than was
necessary.
Like all Europeans who have had
to flee from something or other,
Thyssen decided to write a book
telling of his shocking experiences
and sell 1t to the good. kind Ameri-
can public. AS soon as he was able,
therefore, he made contract and
settled down to authorship, but his
Quondam protege invaded France
while his work was still in progress,
and that, as far as any one knows
vet. was the end of the Nazi "angel."
Not so the manuscript, however.
Some of that had already gone to
the publisher, enough even to make
a book. So now we have it.
It is not impressive. Mr.. Thyssen
admits that he made a mistake. That
is aoout all one can say for him.
And, as the whole planet was ad-
mitting it for him long before he
spoke, his apology seems singularly
irrelevant. He thought the Nazis
were nice people, he says. And then
he found they weren't. 1t really was
an awfully upsetting experience and
he is terribly sorry.
