ASK THE BuBo-DoxEY MEN TO EXPLAIN THIS

of the Dies Committee; SABBATH, Chairman of
Rules and WOODRUFF, acting Speaker.
From this it appears that Mr.. Doxey had little to
do but to sit in his seat on the Floor of the House.
The top men in the House, including Ross Collins,
were so burdened with Committee and Depart
mental work, where legislation and policies are
really shaped, that they voted by the well es-
tablished system of pairing INTENDED for just SUCH
as they) instead of sitting in their seats and waiting
for lengthy roll calls.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1941-09-18

When Ross Collins voted by pairing against an OPP
position member he was in mighty good company.
Other leading Administration Democrats who voted
in the same way on some OF these same bills were:
DOUGHTON, Chairman of Ways and Means; TAY-
LOR, Chairman of Appropriations; McREYNOLDS,
Chairman of Foreign Affairs; INNER Chairman,
of Judiciary; FULMER, Chairman of Agriculture:

In the hope of bringing about
long period Of peace the people
of the United States have under

and her Allies. Meanwhile, they
are thinking and talking about the
peace and reconstruction that Is
TO come. In the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV. and its
branches. are many new books deal
ing with these postwar problems.
Since planninC for the unknown
future is always based Oh the known

be mentioned. The obvious proto-
type to Hi-leriGn Europe is Ma
poleonic Europe which was wiped

ence in Paris made a tolera Bile
peace. William F. Rappard also
tells of that peace conference in
The Guest for Peace Since the
World War" and traces the recent
history Of the three major ideas
on which the League of Nations
stood, arbitration. collective security
and disarmament. concluding with
a quick glance at the future. Ar
mold WolferS examines the foreign
policy of the two principle have"
nations for the same period in Brit
ain and France Between Two Wars:
Conflicting Strajegies of Peace Since
Versailles" The life of Viscount
Cecil of Chelwood was so built
into the League that his recent
autobiography IS actually a history
of that great experiment"
Not disheartened by the expert
ence of the last 20 years. the same
author prepares for the future and
stronger Leaguelike body in "A
Real Peace" He is particularly
concerned with a solution to the
German question.

In this book the Southern tradi-

clash with the sturdy New England

stand the strain: however. in the
end. mature understanding that
comes with parenthood prevails.

This is a new sort of true murder
story, the tracking down of the
motive behind seemingly inexpli-
cable crime, a searching for clues in
the killers mind rather than at the
scene of the crime
A boy, aged II, oldest son of poor
Italian family, suddenly, without
provocation. killed his mother. He
gave himself up and freely confessed.
He denied that he was insane, and,
until his crime. there was no evidence
of insanity in his conduct. The only
explanation that he gave was that
some years before his mother. who
was a widow, had had a lover for
whose sake she neglected her
children.
DR.. Wertham, now director of the
mental hygiene clinic of Queens
General Hospital and senior pSychi-
artist of the New York Department
of Hospitals, was called in by au-
thorities He undertook to find out
what happened in the boys mind to
drive him to so terrible a deed. He
gives here his search back through
the boys accumulated mental pres
sures to the ultimate truth. For a
technical study it is an interesting
thing. MGR.

Newtopio

By P. w. Wilson. Charles
Scribner's Sons, NeW York.
A Newtopian is one of the mil
lions of men alive in the world to-
day who are Realistically in favor
of the betterment of humanity as
whole and who are nevertheless
practical about it. During the past
century, Newtopians have reduced
slavery almost to a point of non-
existence; they have lessened the
danger of many deadly diseases;
through science, they have con-
trived innumerable conveniences to
living; they have improved the So
cial status of women. Most of all,
they have even made several at
tacks upon the principal enemy of
mankind'S security, war At pres
ent, Mr.. Wilson says, nine tenths
of the people in the world are alb
solutely opposed to war. Only the
Germans, Italians and japanese
appear to be still bellicose, and that
is because the sitting conditions
imposed upon them by their gov
ernments allow no other outlet to
their surplus energies.
Most of this theorizing is by no
means original. Also, it is hard to
follow what is supposed to be a
parallel to Sir Thomas More's
utopia" - But. while Mr.. Wilson
has not uncovered anything partic-
ularly startling, his witty and expert
handling Of English prose makes
this book very readable.
