vuelo de las palabras de hume
epica de similar; pero hay to-
davia mas, mucho mas: el cuento
consigue con mayor fortuna que
la novela encerrar ell tempo, apri
sionarlo Y fundirlo en- una levadu-
IA. Mientras la novcla deja esca-
par ell tempo por entire los res
quicios de su mala construction,
ell cuento 10 aprehende Y 10 on
vierte en- viva duraci0n, diremos
para jugar, sin derecho, con ell
lenguaje de Bergson. Por este es
porque ell cuento, los cuentos de
Micr6s sobre TODD, tienen esa apa-
riencia concrete frente a s as
pecto deleznable que frustra las
que lutheran sido grandes move
las, como LA Malhora" de Azue-
la. FL cuento es, 81 Sc quiere o
quizas aunque no sc quiera, un pc
queno ORGANISING, un orden vivo;
sera I'm mundito, pero es al cabo
un mundo, con su china Y su cen
tro de gravedad. La novela en-
America, Y ese es n de sus gran
des defectos, no ha logrado jamas
ser un mundo, un orden; no ha
tenido nunca centric de gravedad.
He citado, cast sin advertirlo, el
ejemplo de Micr6s. Els que en- este
fino y delicado escritor alcanza el
cuentO mexicano sus mejores mo-
mentos. A 6l convergen y de el
parten muohas corrientes y es n
verdadera lastima que la despreo-
cupaci6n de los gambusinos de la
literature mexicana haya dejado
inadvertidas las posibilidades y
las realidades de este diminuto y
heroico Angel de Campo. FL libro
r~eciente de Jose MARTINEZ Soto
mayor que agrupa varios cuentos
ha venido a revalidar la atenci6n
sobre el cuento y sobre Micros.
Martinez SotOmayor es segura-
mente uno de los mas habiles obre
los de csc gremio que trabaja o
81 estilo, con rigor y decoro profe-
sionales. Este hecho importa por-
que Sc renueva la mejor, Ia mas
pura tradici6n de la forma del
cuento m~exicano; pero interesa
mucho mas la gimnasia de la Do
gervaci6n, cuya habil ~ejecuci6n es
una de las car~acteristicas de este
autor, orque su desarrollo es ell
que sostiene la arquitectura de
sus cuentos, la que detIene ei
tempo dentro de sus limltes. HAY
-aturalmente reparos que haeer,
1uiza cierta espuma de Proust, tai
vez alg1n dejarse l!evar hasta ei
preciosismo en- algunOs momentos'
probablemente algunos fulgores
extrahos; pero no puede negarse
que este libro devuelve a la lite
ratura m~exicana, dignamente, el
canine del cuento.

c { IL oOlU. OOEotHy 1uOmpSOn.
Neither hard thinking nor hard
living have been characteristic of
it. The national tendency has
been to shut out as illusion pain,
suffering and death. We have
sought to shield our children and
ourselves from hard reality.
The result Is that we face
reality badly.
Our fighting men are enor-
mously courageous. But we have
more casualties in the Army from
cracked nerves than from wounds.
Our men are ionhearted, yet a
much-too-large proportion Of
them suffer from nervous .insta-
bility. The private involved in
the Patton case was not lacking
in any way in the will to fight.
He wanted to be de-hospitalized
and rejoin his regiment. and ul-
timately he did. But his nervous
system was fragile.
Proud of Sicilian Leadership.
Gen. Patton Is a tough troop
leader. Every American was
proud and grateful when we read
Of how he led his men In the
Sicilian landing. He was not
directing affairs from somewhere
behind the lines. He was right
out in front amidst the shot and
shell. He speaks the tough,
blasphemous and prayerful Ian
guage that soldiers understand
and respond to.
Every one of us has the faults
of his virtues. Gen. Patton is
choleric, violent-tempered, and
even at times brutal. 1t is quite
obvious that he has never been a
student of modern PSYCHOLOGY.
He belongs to the spare the rod
and spoil the child" school. He
lives in the cosmos of the soldier
and has long ago accepted for
himself the facts of pain, suf-
fering, dreadful wounds and
death as the inevitable hazards
Of war for total victory.
He is hard on himself and
equally hard on everybody
around him.
But, oddly enough, 1t is not
generals like this who infuriate
troops. The officers who are
hated in every army are not the
brutal ones, but the cruel and
bureaucratic ones. They are not
those who call for courage, but
those who seek to enhance their
own prestige by rigid attention to
petty details Of discipline. They
are those who never need to
apologize to anybody, because
they never infringe the rules.
But they make the rules into
torture for their men.

by the British-in the Burma
campaign, although American
military observers believe their
military value is negligible.
The two brothers have served
Japanese interests for some time.
Rash Behari Boas has been .
political refugee in Japan for
about 20 years and has been used
consistently by Japanese propa-

necessary.
His younger brother, subhas
Chendra Boas, escaped from In
dia less than two years ago and
arrived In Japan by way Of Ber-
lin under mysterious circum-
stances. Some believe he was
taken to Toxic in a German sub
marine, others, that he made the
trip by air. Still others who were
taking into consideration the
distance between Berlin and
Toxic believe he may have
reached Japan in connivance
with the government Of another
power which Is not at war with
Japan.
Singapore Headquarters.
In any event both the Nation
alists are now in Japanese-occu-
pied territory and have estab-
lished their permanent headquar-
ters in Singapore.
While there may be some doubt
as to the fighting value of the In
dian troops they are organizing,
there can be no question of the
oratory powers Of the two broth
ers, who are speaking daily over
the Japanese radio and delivering
indammable speeches which are
reaching India.
