West and North both followed to

Jopon's Military Masters
By Hills Loru. Viking Pre-.

By H1ltls Lorv. Viking PreSS)
A former member of the Hok-.
kaido Imperial University, Mr.. Lory
has been accumlating information
on the Japanese Army ana the psy-
choloGy Of the japanese soldier
since 1926. The purpose of the pres
ent volume, in the authors words,
lis to present a calm and deliberate
analysis of Japan's army and its
multiple role within the nation with
the hope that it will contribute to
that prerequisite Of victory-know
your enemy"
AS Mr.. Lory points out, the army
in Japan is more than a military
machine. Bound to the nation by
strong ties Of heritage, and welding
an enormous political power, it has
cut the pattern of Japan's foreign
and domestic policies to meet its
own specifications.
1T sets the tone as we'll as re-
fleets the thinking and aspirations
Of the Japanese people" ne tells us.
For Japan, as for no other country,
to know her army is to know the ma
ton"
The author describes in detail the
organization of the army, its "spir-
itual training and the technique by
which the high command glorif1es to
the people service in the army and
inStills in the rank and file a fanat-
ical belief that death for the EN-
peror is life's greatest reward.
Japan's military strength rests on
many pillars, and victory over the
enemy will not easily be achieved,
the author warns. The Japanese
have always been strong in ad-
versity," he reminds us. To-day,
they are prepared to accept every
thing except defeat. We can expect
Japan to fight virtually until the
last soldier is killed and her last
ship sunk" For over a decade, he
continues, Japan's military masters,
by subtle and deliberate propa-
ganda, have tried to make the United
States underrate Nippon's power"
MI. Lory has admirably achieved
his purpose of lifting the curtain of
m,-ccttcry and presenting to American
readers the real facts about Japan's
army, the strength and spirit of its
military machine and its fighting
capacity. AS Ambassador Joseph c.
Grew points out in his foreword, 1--WE
cannot afford to allow to our enemy
a monopoly on spiritual mobiliza-
tion.'" The book gives the reader
a better realization of the task that
faces our armed forces, and the sac
rifices needed on the home front, to
secure victory over the enemy.

By George Jessel. (Random
House,
This is the autobiography of .
trouper and, as far as plot goes, is
as disjointed rs most musical shows.
However. like many such shows, it
is good entertainment. Jessel's life,
in spite Of the many smash hits he
has written and played In, has been
q series Of ups and downs-accord-
ing to the book, more downs than
ups. His childhood was spent with
his grandparents in the Bronx. HIS
grandfather conducted q pants
pressing emporium, charging the
munincent sum OF 10 cents per press
and providing both refreshments and
entertainment while the job was
under way. The profit, as can we'll
be imagined, was all in the red.
George went to work at the age of
10 and. since he had been bitten by
the theater bug before his fathers
death-his father having suffered
from the same malady-he could
find no other outlet for his energies
and talents.
The book is we'll written and 1t
gives a peep into = form Of enter
tainment that is rapidly entering
the realm Of the defunct. It also
reveals something Of the movie in
dustry from a somewhat new angle.
1t would be interesting, however, to
know the reactions of some of his
"goy" reviewers to the Elizabethan
flavor Of his Jewish slang.
