1900 crowded pages.
The story sets sail from Bristol
when young Matthew Flood, driv-
en- from the arms Of his bride-to-
be to the afterdeck of an African
SLAYER, embarks on a journey that
is to cover half the globe and tan
gle the destinies Of generations un-
born. The ports 1t touches are the
reeking coast of Africa, fair Bar
bados, gay and scheming Cuba, the
Barbary haunts of pirates, the pal
aces Of Seville and Madrid, return
ing at last to the stately homes OF
England. Masters become slaves in
the telling Of this tale, and a slave
becomes the mother of a proud
race. From 1t one comes to know
not only how Englishmen lived in
the days when privateers fitted out
in Bristol harbor; one enjoys the
graces Of life in Creole Havana, re-
coils from the suave brutality of
hidalgo Spain, pants in the unliv-
able African jungle where men
somehow continue to live.
"The Sun Is My Undoing" is the
story Of one undying love and a
dozen interviewer tales Of ambition
and intrigue. It Is a story with
a will of its own, and 1t can neither
be put aside nor soon forgotten.

A whole era comes alive in the
story Of Willie Venables, Of her
daughter Lily's miserable failure at
marriage, and-above all-in the
story Of irrepressible red-haired
Flo. 1t was Willie who busted and
hemmed and mismanaged the small
sum Of insurance money Paul left
her; who bore children, baked, and
was helpless in the traditional man
ner Of women. But It was Flo
who broke traditions-who refus-
ed to be fleeced Of her money by
an unscrupulous man; who went
out into the world after the things
she wanted, hesitating at first, but
venturing further and further
afeld as she gained confidence.
And 1t is In the tender story Of
Flo's romance that Kathleen Nor
ris shows most clearly her deep
and sympathetic understanding of
human character. Poignant, charm
ing, unforgettable, the Venables is
book which touches the secret
depths Of every woman's life.

THE VENABLES
BY Kathleen Norris

Willie Venables had been mar
ried at twenty-three, nearly twen-
ty years ago her first-born
would be almost eighteen now, a
great big boy. If they had all liv-
ed she would have had ten chill
dren-ten pregnancies meant nine
ty months of discomfort and weak
ness burdened with all the nursery
claims Of the accumulating family.
Willie had loved her husband,
but in the strain and pressure Of
her life she had had small time to
analyze why her feelings toward
him had never been quite simple
or comfortable. From the begin
ming, bride who knew almost
nothing of cooking, managing,
housekeeping or children, almost
nothing of her own body and it's
potentialities and limitations and
less of marriage, Willie had been
blunderingly, apologetically, loving
ly trying to please "Mr. W., her
husband.
And now, even after eight months
Of widowhood. Willie couldn't who'll
ly grasp the fact that Paul wasn't
coming back that she, and
she alone, must fend for her brood
Of six; for beautiful, gentle Lily
and noisy Flo, growing up now;
for Virgie-Lou and George and
Spencer and Weeny.
This is the theme of Kathleen
Norris richest, most nostalgia nov
ell; the smiles, tears, sunshine and
shadows Of a woman's life in the
years when the world was run for
men-and the courage that left a

ed a confidential report" received
by him as saying that Germany will
make an early attempt to invade
England If the present deadlock
continues.
DR.. Butler said the report told OF
much discussion in Europe of the
effect on hostilities of the strong
American opinion for all aid to
Britain short of war.
Italy's reverses. the failure of Ger
manys 'drang mach osten" to de-

land to the blitzkrieg fury are hav-
ing widespread effects also. DR..
Butler quoted the report as saying.
Pointing out that Russia had put
a virtual veto on Germany'S viola
ton of BulgariaS neutrality, the re-
port states: Therefore the Nazls
must ask themselves this question:
Are we right to risk conflict with
Moscow in order to carry out our OBJ

Post for Lloyd George
Urged on Churchill
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. 27.-An important
faction in British politics has put
fresh pressure on Prime Minister
Churchill for drastic revision Of the
government, setting up an all
powerful fiye-man war cabinet in
Guiding David Lloyd George, Brit
aims World War Premier.
One member of this faction within
the Conservative Party said it was
trying to get Mr.. Churchill to form
such a cabinet Of Lloyd George,
Anthony Eden, foreign secretary;
Lord Beaverbrook, Minister for Air
craft Production, and Ernest Bevin,
Minister of Labor and National
Service.
The present war cabinet is COM
posed of eight members, five of them
heads of departments.
An informant speaking for pro-
ponents of the scaled down cabinet
said all five ministers should be
without portfolio, freed of depart
mental responsibility and political
worry. and concerned only with
winning the war.
This faction contends that Mr.
Churchill is handicapped by having
no one in his cabinet who can talk
with him and advise him as an
equal, and says the ministers now
are all department heads under
him.
Mr.. Churchill has refused stead

aircraft worker who objected TO a
seven-day week, his mates threw
the objector out of the factory and
into the street.
So it went day after day, action
and more action.
Civil servants were aghaSt at
methods of the new ministry-a
bedlam of jangling telephones doors
that never closed, disregard of the
traditional week end, the Beavers
sharp bark: "On your toes, man, on
your toes!'
Great User of Telephone.
Beaverbrook is a great user of the
telephone. He frequently has made
spontaneous decisions while talking
by phone and left no record of his
action. To workers accustomed to
observing all the niceties of govern
ment red tape and communicating
always by written documents mailed
or delivered by hand, this was some
thing of shock.
But it got the job done quicker
and the Beaver let his comma
chasers" worry about keeping the
record straight.
A month after taking charge he
was able to announce:
Our aircraft production in the
month of June was record. In fact
we produced more than double the
total of aircraft that were produced
in the same month last year, when
preparations for war were going on
full blast. We also turned out far
more than double the number of
engines, thus increasing our surplus
stocks"
Before BeaVerbrook took charge
the job of making planes was in
many hands, slowed by divided re-
sponsibilities and interminable quib-
bling over details by military eX-
perts. no two of whom seemed able
to agree.
Stopped Design Changes.
Beaverbrook took all authority
and shared it jealousy with men
of his own choosing, men who knew
their jobs and were willing to accept
responsibility.
He stopped changes in design

| line, ending delays caused by fussy
air officials.
First he picked an emergency

On the other hand. we who are
supporting the Presidents foreign
policy believe these truths TO be
self-evident:
That the value of the world Is az
a whole, and not Gismantled
That even hemisphere isolation
Is less destructive to our welfare
than the sort of world order created
and maintained for over a century
by the British Empire, with Amer
ica's acquiescence and support.
That the world cannot stand d.

become all free or all slave
That there are worse risks than
war for a nation, just as there are
worse fates than death for an in
dividual.
That of all creatures born into the

high privilege and duty of choosing
the hour and the cause for which he
offers his life.
That Christ on Calvary did not
represent the cause of safety first.
That the cause of human freedom.

unworthy OF Americans or Of human
beings anywhere, knowing our own
faults and weaknesses as individuals
and as Nation we can still support
the right as God gives us to see
the right. trusting to the justice Of
our cause rather than to our own
shortcomings
That courage is nobIer than cau-
ton, mercy is greater than greed,
and sacrifice stronger than fear in
the long litany of the martyrdom
OF man.
Economic Commissions
So we say that you cannot divide
the world into two hostile halves.
without mourning economic and po-
litical commissions beyond our worst
Nightmares; that you cannot accept
the creeping plague of Fascism
without a moral collapse worse
than physical defeat; that the ulti-
mate choice must be taken now as
to whether we shall tread our
ancient stony road of freedom or
submit to the wave OF future slavery.
