WORLDS END
BY
Upton Sinclair
Reviewed BY
Mrs. j. Phil Claridge

Upton Sinclair has led a very
unusual life. He has made great
sums of money, but he has never
been able to keep them. He gives
his fortunes to organizations in
whose principles he believes. With
the proceeds of his first book
''The Jungle" he organized He'll
con Home, a cooperative colony
Ill New Jersey. Sinclair plans to
spend the money he makes from
worlds End" in building a
"black-widow-proof' house. The
home he has now is filled with
them.
1t Is said that he is probably
the only American ever arrested
for reading aloud three sentences
from the Constitution guarantee
ing freedom of speech.
Before Worlds End" was pub
lished, it was previewed by many
people. 1t is said that the 374
pages of the manuscript dealing
with the Peace Conference were
checked by eight men who served
on the staff at the Peace Confer
ence in 1919.
The setting of Worlds End" is
in Europe. The main character,
however, makes a visit to the New
World. The main characters are
Americans living in Europe, as
Sinclair says that he could not
write a novel about Europeans,
except as subordinate characters.
Lanning Budd, the main charact-
er, was born in Switzerland. Most
of his life, however, was spent on
the French Riviera. !. He is the
son of Robbie Budd, typical
American munitions head, and
Beauty Budd, a reckless lovable
woman.
The story revolves around Ian
ny Budd's place in European so
ciety; his dealings with ZaharOff; -;
his part in the Peace Conference;
his talks on Russia with Lincoln
Steffens, and his friendship with
German boy, Kurt, with whom

LEAVE NOTHING
NOW TO CHANCE

Our military experts are de-
termined not to duplicate the
mistakes which other nations
have made in their battlefield
encounters with the Nazis. IN
like Hitler's European and Bal
kan opponents. they are taking
nothing for granted. In their
war college and general staff
discussions they are leaving
nothing to chance.
The French figured the Ger
mans could not break through
the thickets of the Forest of
Ardennes, 80 they did not for
tify the woods. The British
doubted that the Nazis could
transport troops TO Norway, and
they were caught mapping. The
Greco British forces thought
they could hold Hitler's forces in
the mountain passes Of Greece,
and did not protect their rear.
Profiting from these blunders.
our planners are discarding all
their ideas of orthodox strategy

this.

that the great number Of people
