The Islands of the Pacific
BY Ruth L. BIandon,
Petworth Branch Public Library.

When scores of American troops
began to land on Pacific islands,
readers became eager to learn more
about these zones OF action. The
Public Library, Eighth and K streets
NV, and its several branches are,
therefore, attempting to satisfy pub
lie demands for books on these sub
jects.
A book which offers particularly
good information is Van Looms
Story of the Pacific" a highly en-
tertaining history of the discovery
and early settlements of the Pacific
islands and Australia. The author is
thoroughly familiar with the native
races. their origins, societies and
ways of life. and he tells their
story with wit and enthusiasm. His
pen-and-ink sketches are a de-
lightful addition to the book.
westward the Course" by Paul
Mcclure, went to press two days
after the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor and is an account of the
authors recent trip from Vancouver
TO singapore by way OF Hawaii, Aus
tralia and the Dutch East Indies. He
is conscious throughout of the inev-
liability of war in the Pacific and
alert to the effects of Western
civilization on the native peoples.
His reflections on the future status
of the islands make fascinating
reading and serve as a well-informed
background to the news of the day.
Conversational Style.
For those who are interested in
the native customs and modes of life
in the Netherlands Indies, isles of
Spice" by Frank Clune, is recon-
mended, In conversational style, he
tells with vivid detail of his trip
through the islands and describes
the life of the natives in remote and
isolated sections of Celebes, Borneo,
Java, Sumatra and other islands
from China to Australia.

Greenland
By Vilhjalmur Stetansson
Doubleday. D0rnnl

doubleday, Doran.)
In this book. Explorer Stefanssor
undertakes to do for Greenland
what he did for Iceland in his work
on that country published three
years ago. He gives a history of the
civilization which has developed or
the northern island. 1t would be a
valuable contribution to our general
knowledge at any time, for few OF
us know anything worth mention
ing about the country which is Sc
close to us. In the present situation
when Greenland is one of our mill
tary outposts, the work is even more
important.
Mr.. StefanSscn reveals that dis
covering" Greenland was almost q
perpetual business for explorers for
many centuries. 1t was "discovered'
several times in prehistoric times
by men from Siberia, from ireland
and from Britain. 1t was also dis
covered" by the Greeks. The his
toric Irish repeated the exploit OF
the prehistoric and discovered 1t
again. The Norwegians got there
around 900 AID. 1t was old stuff
when Columbus and Cabot made
their voyages. But. somehow, Green
lane never got the publicity.
MIR. Stefansson goes on with his
story. There was an independent
republic on the island in the 18th
century which, after time, elected
to Join Norway Then the colony
disappeared Other colonies were
founded, but, in the main, the Es-

literature. They are, as said, in
many ways the counterpart of our
racketeers. But they operate with
comparative openness, and it is not
commerce on which they prey, but
government. Unlike gangsters, more
over, these bullieS are popular
heroes, descendants in glory of the
feudal ronin. A people which is the
most utterly submissive to govern
ment of any in the world, at the
same time glorifies criminals who
assault their government-provided
only that the assault is made in
the name Of governmental devotion.
Figure it out, says Mr.. Byas, not too
hopefully His facts support him,
just the same.
His own rationaliza ton is that the
Army and Navy manipulate the
patriotic racketeers and guide the
dagger-bearing hand to suit their
own aggressive ambitions. The
Army and Navy, he says, are the
peoples branches of the Govern
ment, their officers being drawn
from middle-class and even work.
ing-clasS homes. Thus, they have a
claim on popularity. and they have
used this claim to destroy any off,
cial who has stood in the way OF
their determine ton to make war
Why do they want to make war?
Because. says Mr. Byas, they do not
really believe in their national
destiny.
For centuries, he reminds us, the
japanese people have been taught
that their country was given birth
by a marriage Of gods and that its
population is descended from gods,
with a divine destiny to rule the
entire world. In the light of
modernization, this crude primitive
myth has been put to test; it either
must be proved or it will fail of it's
own childishness. And, since the
whole structure Of Japanese society
is built up around this myth its
failure would mean admission that
that society is invalid-a possibility
that the people cannot face. Their
divine descent, their unique mission,
In other words, has become a ma
tional neurosis. 1t has to be proved.
Hence the frenetic nature of their
efforts to assert their superiority
Like Germany, says Mr.. Byas, Japan
is driven into war by false
philosophy.
