Germany: The Last Phase

By Gunnar Phil. Translated
From the Swedish By G. Ho,o-
ard Smith. lKnopf.)
The best thing about this book
by q Swedish newspaperman who
spent the whole Of the war up to
last August in Berlin. is the news
which 1t contains. Germany. says
Gunnar Phil, Is about to fold up.
Joyful as these tidings are. however.
the reviewer will halt their full re-
port to add what is also good news
to her professional ear, which Is
that Mr.. Phil writes very, very well.
With the story he has to tell he
might easily dispense with authors
properties and 60 1t plain, but he
has not done so. A brilliant wit and
q constant sense Of irony color his
work and make 1t not just a piece
OF important news for the present
moment, but also q significant his
tory of Naziism's desperate last
stand, which one feels will retain
its significance In years to come.
The reviewer cannot think of COM
parable work by journalist since
Malcolm Muggeridge's mordant "The
Sun Never Sets" now prehistoric.
But to his story. 1t is hearten-
ing account OF the bitter bit at last
Readers whose hearts have been
wrung by reports of the sufferings
Of people in the occupied countries
can learn to their satisfaction, that
the Herrenvolk have not been doing
much better these past two years.
There is nothing-absolutely moth
ing-for sale in Germany, says Mr..
Phil. except food, and not nearly
enough food and that indescribably
bad. Nor has there been for more
than a year. The western cities
have been evacuated out of respect
for United Nations bombers and
the crowding in eastern towns is
appalling. Moreover, as Russia rolls
her armies forward. the east does
not have too reassuring a feeling to
the uprooted master race either.
Workers are kept at their jobs
under slave conditions, prisoners
brought in to labor often have bet
ter food than natives, If it comes
to that. for the prisoners, having
nothing to lose, will mutiny. while
no patriotic German would dare to
complain. Casualties simply are not
mentioned. the famously resourceful
propaganda front has simply shut
up shop. Germany, in short. is now
functioning under the threat of the
IS. S., the only organization which
hourishes and soldiers home on
leave are not made happier. observes
Mr.. Phil. by the fine uniforms and
well-fed look of the S. S. boys.
In Mr.. Pihl's opinion the German
will undergo almost any misery to
avoid having to think, but he feels
that the limit has now been reached
and slowly, very slowly, the process
of putting two and two together has
begun in Hitler's adopted fellow
countrymen. His conclusion is that
the home front will break, that the
army and the S. S. will fight and
that the people will turn to Russia
rather than to Great Britain or to
us for peace. since having been
communized now these several
years they no longer dread COM
munism as strange system and
Stain has said nothing about pun
ishment or unconditional surrender.
It is wonderful tale which the
book tells. and no one reading 1t
can be In doubt that the end is

'PereIondro

By C. S. LeUts. (Mncmtllnn.)
G. E. Lewis has already written .
novel about mans journey to
Mars. Here he carries on, giving us
story OF the same mans trip to
Venus. or Perelandra, as the native
population Of two calls 1t Venus is
about to be populated-that is the
reason for the hero's summons to
his interplanetary voyage. A:venu-
sian Adam and Eve have been Great
ed and are living in a state of beat
if1c goodness, unknown to tempt
alton. But wicked man Of our own
earth who, like Buck Rogers, has q
space ship, is primed to take OF
for the distant Eden to implant In
the virtuous pair the seeds Of such
wickedness as have plagued our
own humanity. 1t therefore becomes
necessary for the hero to 60 thirty
million miles IN haste and foil the
villain. He does 50. He is an Oxford
professor, while the villain halls
from Cambridge. Mr.. Lewis himself,
incidentally, is an Oxford lecturer.
What seems at first a somewhat
rampant example Of school spirit Is
softened, however, as the tale un.
folds. For it develops that the
Cambridge man Is not really what
he seems to be; he is just a bodily
shell occupied by the Tempter much
as If he were a suit of clothes. The
Tempter, moreover, has not learned
a thing since the Garden of Eden.
He proceeds on Venus just as he did
on Earth-seeks out the woman
"a lovely young creature in color
bright green and sets about filing
her mind with suggestions that she
break the Venusian law. The Oxford
man tries for long time to break
it up by scholarly reasoning, but at
last loses his temper, sails in with
his fists, beats the Tempter to jelly
and throws the remnants into a
volcano. That puts an end to evil
on the new planet, for. conveniently.
the Tennpter cannot function there
without body. and presumably not
even in Cambridge will he find an
other. So that is that. The new race
is launched in world Of unclouded
good, and a great relief it is, too, to
readers who have stuck with Mr..
Lewis tale so far.

While Still We Live
By Helen Machines. little,
BrOrn

Readers who expected another
Above Suspicion or Assignment
in Brittany" in the latest novel by
Miss Machines are due for a sur
prise. Apparently the author
planned another spy thriller, with
a Polish setting this time, but
changed her mind as she collected
her material.
The spy story is virtually lost in
the details with which Miss Mac
Innes fills her novel. Some readers,
particularly those who admired her
earlier deftness, may feel she has
chosen too broad a canvas.
The novel begins at the end Of
August, 1899, with Sheila Matthews
visiting friends in town near War;
saw. Sheila is persuaded to leave
Poland, but is caught, by her own
design, in Warsaw, where she is
soon enlisted as Polish spy through
the devious method of becoming sus-
pected as a German spy before the
invasion.
The siege of Warsaw, the prepa.
rations to establish an underground
while Poland is still fighting, the
Lidice-like incidents after the fall
of Poland, the operations of the
German spy system, the methods
used in transporting Polish refugees
by underground and the raids of the
organized guerrillas are all woven
into the story. which spares no hor-
ror in the telling.
The romance between Sheila and
Capt. Adam Wieniewski, chief Of
the guerrillas, is tossed in almost
as an afterthought, and the ending
in England is almost embarrassingly
trite. But Miss Machines has ap-
parently submerged the story inten-
tionally to present her sweeping pic
ture of a people who, having lost
everything but their yearning to be
free, are willing to die for that free.

Army Of Shadows
By JOSeph KeSsel. (Knonf

oy SOoCPft a cSSCt. IA UOpJ.J
Offered as the truth, this is a
dramatic little tale of the French
underground. If it is true, 1t is
something to make you proud of
the humankind. If it isn't true, it
is bowling melodrama. A reader
will have to hold the alternatives in
mind and decide for himself.
At the same time. as peace ap-
proaches, one cannot but reflect,
reading the many narratives of this
sort which have come for sale on
the American market, that before
too long the underground will be
able to come out into the open and
the heretofore nameless heroes re-
ceive their due. When that hap
pens. it is to be hoped that the
work of the resisters will be accu-
rately reported In duly historical
form. No doubt their heroism will
attract romantic novelists for a
long time to come, but there will
also be keen appetite for solid
facts-which will deserve to be
gratified,

Crazy Weather

BY Charles L. McNtchols. (Muc-
milldn.)
The plot of this novel, briefly
told, would make a reader Justly
conclude that the work was for
juvenile consumption. It is the
story Of q white ranch boy who
runs of with an Indian friend
and goes native for a short period.
Filled out, however, the running
away Trombone motif affords q
realistic adventure tale which may
well charm the adult escapist. It
is q story of Indian customs from
the pen Of one who knows those
customs, and Of their penetration
by q white boy who has had the
luck to be accepted by the Indians
virtually as one Of themselves. The
scene is the Mojaye Reservation
and the time about the turn Of the
century. II Is . lively and thor
oughly entertaining tale.

all of whom survive. For a number
of years Mr.. and Mrs. McGlenn
lived on farm in South Dakota,
suffering the privations of pioneer
life. In about 1900 they moved to
