The Common Heart
BIZ Paul Horg

= 6y luut HofSu'' 'AA"' Pe'
Mr.. Horgan's first novel in five
wears will hardly surprise those for
tunate readers already familiar with
his work. Once again, he Is vividly
detailing the New Mexico country,
both past and present, with his
humane viewpoint barring the
thoughts that hang by hair in
the minds Of his characters. and
still again, his story is q basically
simple. familiar frame leaning
heavily on character portrayal.
It is q story of Peter Rush, a sue
cessful doctor of Albuquerque, and
his Eastern wife, an nvalid-at
least so in her imagination. Carried
along by the authors unerring sense
of the dramatic, We enjoy the
charming courtship and marriage
until the birth of . son and the
resultant psychosis Of the wife.
But there is 50 much more. The
Jacket proclaims the book to be
richly peopled," and any one will
agree. Mr.. Horgan has q clean
style that is often dramatic and =
deep regard for his fellowman which
is both tender and impressive. He
almost convinces us that the COM
mon heart Is q good heart. because
he Is . good writer In every sense Of
the word. J. WN. RUPPEI. Jr.

Keeping their crazy cars going, they
have learned motors more COM
pletely than they could have in any
other way. These boys in
high schools and on farms know
motors as few people in the world
know them; and Army instructors
say these young men make the best
possible flyers-the farm boys who
have kept the old tractors pounding
over the land after they were worn
out"
And again, about gunners, Mr..
Steinbeck says: when he was s
years old, his father gave him %
rifle and taught him to respect it
as a dangerous weapon, and taught
him to shoot it at target. At 8,
the boy ranged the hills and woods.

Of his rifle was as natural to him
as the pointing of his finger. At
-, the boy was given his first shot
gun. Luckily for us, our ira
dition of bearing arms has not gone
from the country, and the tradi-
ton is so deep and so dear to us
that it is one of the most treasured
parts of the Bill of Rights-the right
of all Americans to bear arms, with
the implication that they will know
how to use them
Bits like that, fitted neatly into
the smooth course of the report,
have their effect, and the modern
bomber team, with all its myste-
rious mechanical apparatus and
mathematical controls comes, under
Mr.. Steinbeck's treatment, to blend
right into the tradition of American
arms which began with the melting
down for bullets of the statue of an
alien king and the loading Of mus
kets, when needful, with pebbles in
lieu of shot. That tradition has
taken a lot Of buffeting lately. 1t
is amusing to see how naturally and
easily 1t reasserts itself in the face
Of real danger to our country.

Hitler, Man Of Strife
By Lud1Oig Wagner. Nv. w.
NOrtOn.)

By Lud,01g wagner. Nv. W.
Norton.J
This new biography Of Hitler Is
adequate, but does not add any
thing of Importance to what has
already been written about the
house painter who became con-
spicuous. It offers about the usual
account of the Hitlerian childhood,
stressing the harsh papa rather
than the tender mamma and put
ting considerable weight on the
sense of inferiority, both social and
personal. 1t deals with the flop
house days on the basis of what
is known and foreswears conjecture,
so that the legend of Jewish
sweetheart, which appealed to the
Imagination OF previous biogra-
pliers, is given no countenance. 1t
traces the various idols to whom
the great man has given his adora-
ton. and finds, in the teachings OF
these models, the germ Of most OF
what now passes for Hitlerian doc
trines-Karl Leuger, Georg Won
Schooner. Karl Won Haushofer,
Alfred Rosenberg, a Prof. Potsch-
out of the words of these can be
discovered the whole of "Mein
Kampf,' as Mr.. Wagner sees 1t. He
mentions, incidentally, that Hitler
was not a corporal, as he has been
so widely described, but a mere
first class private, but says that his
bravery in war cannot be doubted.
Hitler, he says, would always be
brave when he was fighting under
authority, his cowardice in the beer
cellar putsch being attributable to
the fact that he was then on his
own. There was no one to give him
an order and that scared him. The
lesson was remembered and the
authoritarian state was subsequently
devised so that no one would ever
be scared again.
The part of Hitler's life which fol-
lows his rise to power Is public
property and Mr.. Wagner tells 1t
in terms of history rather than In
the personal vein. There is no SEN
sationalism in the work.

1ndia'S history reaches back into
time almost 5000 years. A full pic
ture OF her arts and culture and So
cial problems is presented in The
Legacy of India" edited by G. T.
CARAT. He states that its pur-
pose Is to remove one cause of the
quarrel between the educated Indian
and the educated Englishman: The
Englishman's failure to appreciate
the old traditional culture of the
people with whose destiny that of
his own country is so closely inter-
mingled. Both British and Indian
scholars have contributed to its
pages. A concise, intelligently bal
anced introduction to the whole sub
ject is C. E. M. Joad's STORY OF

politicians seem spiritual pygmies."

Time of Peace

lime OF Peace
By Ben Anes Williams.
(Houghton- Mi67in)
II you wish to collect your
thoughts on the decade which end
ed with Pearl Harbor you will find
this book particularly appealing in
its content and manner of presenta-
ton. In the authors own words,
voiced by character, this is the
story Of mot what happened but of
what Americans thought was hap
pening and of their developing mass
opinion about world events"
The job of writing about decade
which is still fresh in the readers
mind is demanding one, but Ben
Ames Williams is up to it. He tells his
story Of world-shattering events in
such manner that it is synchronized
with warm human relationships. At
many points his story Of a father
and an adolescent son and their
friends is overdrawn, but perhaps
the process of the American mind
changing from isolationism to a war
psychology was equally overdrawn.
Nothing is so evident in the story
OF the past 10 years as the impact
upon the world of President Roose-
welt and Adolf Hitler" Hitler with
his ruthlessly destructive program,
Mr.. Roosevelt with his Utopian
Srespco p,,ttipp ipto &Ln x,o,,+h.
OF his characters a composite of
editorial opinion, the author does
an outstanding resume of opinion on
Mr.. Roosevelt's domestic and foreign
policies. Current events color the
fact that, in the bitter 1886 cam
palgn, Col. Frank Knox, as Repub-
lican candidate for Vice President,
said that Mr.. Roosevelts policies
left no insurance policy secure, no
savings account safe" The same
events overshadow public reactions
In 1887. when the President made
the Chicago speech in which he
declared that the policies OF Ger
many and Japan menaced the
United States by their present
reign Of terror and international
lawlessness" and suggested that the
peace-loving nations quarantine the
aggressors.
The feeling OF futility which star
tied college students who were
sucked on false pacifsm." the ap-
pearance of Wendell Willkie as
political figure. the slow but sure
realiza ton that emotions outweigh
opinions when war is upon us, claim
their place in the authors picture.
Pearl Harbor gives it flaming red
frame.
Ironically. the title, "Time Of
Peace" has the connotation that in
time Of peace we prepare for war by
rearing children. only to give them
at last to the armed forces. The
book makes easy and stimulating
