by a Dutch boy twelve years
old. It is a plain unadorned

throughout the world because
of wal conditions. To those who
have listened to the often heart
breaking broadcaSts of refugee
children in the United States

Britain, this book will be of
particular significance. 1t is not
all tragedy. This diary of a little
boy with its running commen-
tary sheds much light upon
daily happenings in a friendly
Dutch household before it is dis
rupted by war.

a federal union of democracies
which has taken SO strong q
hold upon the public magma

gained as a movement with
many centers throughout the
country to support it. The
course of events has somewhat
modified Mr.. Streit's origina
plan which included many OF
the democracies which have
now temporarily ceased to ex.
ist and he has set forth hi
revised plan in this new bool
of his with deserves careful
! reading and discussion.
