What jobs will be open after the
war to men and women who are
now in military service or in war
industries?
Government agencies and private
industry are working on plans to
convert to peacetime economy. A
clear picture of Government plans
to aid ex-servicemen in obtaining
jobs is outlined in the magazine

der the editorial, Federal and Pri-
vate Agencies Push Plans for Post

as correspondent for the New York
American. The son followed In
his fathers newspaper steps as cor
respondent for the New York Times,
and from 1885 to 1912 enjoyed a

self on the fact that he was the
only American correspondent to
spend seven years on the scene.
Mr.. Cianfarra explains the Pope's
difacult position during Mussolini's
|ascendancy, and how he refrained
from injecting the papacy into
Italy's internal political affairs. al
though many of the native clergy
|collaborated with the Fascist regime.
Through 1t all, the Vatican remained
the irreconcilable foe of totalitarian-
ism, the only force that dared refuse
II Duce's demands.
He points out that the church,
as a spiritual body, is interested
in forms of government as they
affect the spiritual lives of its COM
municants. Thus, the reason the
church has shown willing collabora-
ton with any government that will
ensure the possibility of carrying
out its apostolic mission" and the
reason "it combats ideologies when
their practical application harms
religious interests.
Mr.. Cianfarra was In Rome dur
ing James A. Fariey's visit to the
Vatican, when Cardinal Innitzer
made his command appearance at
the papal palace, when Myron c.
Taylor, President Roosevelt's per-
sonal envoy, arrived at his post.
and while Archbishop Spellman
conferred with the Pope.
With reference to Mr.. Taylor, the
author emphasizes that the Presi-
dents decision to send him to the
Vatican was farsighted gesture,
and he explains how it opened new
and valuable facets of intelligence
to this country.

Small Business
Continued From Page CID

porous times high proportion of
new businesses fail: our problem is
to enable more of them to survive"
The National Planning Associa-
ton, private organization with
members from industrial manage
ment, labor and agriculture, says
that effective competition should
be encouraged and provision should
be made for purchase (of Govern
ment-owned war plants by small as
well as large organizations"
Among the heads of the great
business organizations there are
some who, being devoted to the
competitive system more in word
than in practice, unquestionably will
sharpen their knives for any meas
ures that may seem to improve the
position of small business at their
expense. A recent experience of
Maury Mavericks encourages the
hope that this opposition will be less
than might be expected
He was talking to a group of
wealthy men who had gone into
business for themselves and become
wealthy" They had long state
ment about monopoly's being a
danger. Il suggested" says Nav
erick, that if monopoly was a
danger, they should just put in there
that they were in favor of enforcing
the Sherman Antitrust Act. They
agreed that was right, and will issue
statement to that effect" Nav
erick himself was heartened by the
incident.
Backs Antitrust Laws.
The Committee for Economic De-
velopment. of which the chairman
is Paul G. Hoffman, president of the
Studebaker Corp, has set up within
itself a committee on the special
problems of small business, headed
by Lou Holland, president of the
Holland Engraving Co. of Kansas
City. This committee Is calling for
strict enforcement of the antitrust
laws and for continuing studies by
the Federal Government, among
other agencies, of the industrial,
legal and financial obstacles to the
birth and growth of small enter
prise" these studies to include "the
examination of monopolistic busi-
ness practices, cartels, patents, trade
barriers, building codes and all gov
ernmental. business and labor re-
straints to enterprise"
The committee says these facts
are self-evident: That small busi-
ness furnishes protection against
monopolistic practices which main
tain prices and restrict production;
that small business is one of the Ma
tion's great laboratories for new
ideas and new products. that high
levels Of employment and produce
ton after the war can be attained
only by the establishment of new
enterprises and bold and intelli-
gent" planning by the great ma
jority of the 100000 smaller busi-
ness establishments now in ex-
istence.
These propositions are automatic.
Put together, they mean that some-
thing more than lip service must be
paid to the competitive system If
we are to achieve the production
and employment goals necessary to
the successful functioning Of our
economy.

What Is Our Destiny?
BIZ Norman Thomas. Double

By Norman Thomas. fDoubIe-
day, DoranJ
In this summing up Of America S
present situation by Americas most
prominent Socialist, one comes on
"a conflict between a clear vision of
conditions and routinized an
swer to those conditions. Norman
Thomas evidently knows what is
going on; he has been giving that
his first-hand attention. But when
he comes to say what we should
do about it, he utters only a mo-
notonous and melancholy cry
adopt socialism. 1t sounds oddly
like politics. A Republican, under
the same circumstances, would be
expected to say Adopt Republi-
canism," or a New Dealer, Adopt
the New Deal" But one looks,
somehow, for less suspect answers
from the Socialists. Since they
are always unsuccessful, one ex-
poets them to be high mindedly
sincere. one feels, indeed, that 1t
lis their duty to the rest of us to
be so. One of the few refreshing
things about an American election
Year is that the voter can always
Isay II didn't vote for the Socialists
but I do respect them for their
honesty" So, though 1t is not
surprising to find Mr.. Thomas ad-
vocating his party's principles, 1t
lis little startling to see him ap-
plying them, nostrumlike. to the
Infinitely varied troubles of the en-
tire world.
That, however, is what he does.
War and capitalism, 1t seems, are
|indissolubly welded in the Social
list mentality. So Mr.. Thomas ar
CUES that, since the war Is the re-
suit of capitalism, We cannot hope
to contribute to a lasting peace If
we continue as capitalist state.
We must therefore bring about
Government control of land, money,
banking, credit, public utilities,
monopolies and semi-monopolies as
Ia minimum reform program. Then,
with clean hands and pure heart,
we can approach the larger prob
lens of pacifying the world, which
will be done by ending imperialism,
Including the present empires, re-
ducing as far as possible interfer-
ence with international trade, ar
ranging for fair distribution OF
scarce materials, establishing q
world fiscal system, seeing that cap
ital is made available to regions
which need industrial development,
lowering immigration restrictions,
raising wages in low-wage coun-
tries and setting up international
controls of the air.
This is Mr.. Thomas program.
The alternatives, as he sees it, are
two-to attempt to set up that
world government" which is at
present the dream of the profess
sorial school of planning, along
with its international police" or
to remain as we are, only more so.
The former he scouts as impossi-
BILE, the latter he sees as meaning
mainly that we underwrite the
British Empire, which, as he rug
|gedly reminds us, we have already
had to save twice in a generation.

No Sad Songs for Ne
By Ruth Southdrd. Double

Uuy, DOTUH.)
Many books have been written
about people who had only a few
months to live and how they spent
their time. This is another one, but
told with such delicate understand
ing that it comes out fresh and
rather inspiring.
Cas- Scott at 80 is told she is dying
OF cancer. She is given six months
or a little more. She keeps the
secret to herself.
Cas- hopes to live those last few
months with the fullness of a life
time. She wants only to live with
her husbands love, say decent
goodby to her parents and friends.
She is disappointed. Her husband
falls in love with another woman,
which leads Cas- to the brink Of
suicide. Her child is wholly self
sufficient. Her friends are absorbed
in themselves, and judging from the
way they act when another friend
dies she knows her passing will make
little difference.
Through concentrating on charac-
ter rather than action the author
escapes melodrama and turns out a
novel that actually isn't sad and Ia
sometimes grimly humorous.

India Against the Storm
By Post Wheeler. (Dutton,

Mr.. Wheeler, distinguished
American diplomat now living in
Washington, has written the most
objective book on India that has
come to this reviewers attention.
He knows India intimately, hav.
ing lived there for years. He adj
mires Gandhi, but considers his at
titude dangerous, not only to the
British in India, but to his own
people, and of course to the rest of
the world. He respects Nehru but
refuses to be unduly Influenced by
his views. And his attitude toward
the other leaders of India's various
political factions is much the same
but unbiased.
Mr.. Wheeler reviews India's his
tory, analyzes its complex political
position, describes its people and
their customs and does it all so
fairly as to enable any thoughtful
reader to weigh the Indian ques-
ton" for himself and reach his own
conclusions. india Against the
Storm" is a valuable contribution
to American understanding of one
of the worlds most difficult prob
lens. HI.

For students of military history,
this book will serve the purpose OF
giving a record in terms Of organi-
zation and strategical PHILOSOPHERS
of the development Of the Prussian
Army from the time" of Frederick
the Great to the present. OF that
aspect of the work, the reviewer
naturally can say nothing. being
herself quite uninformed. She can
only point out that the author is a
former professor in the German
Naval Staff College who was later
accepted on the staff OF Oxford
University and that the book is
issued by a military publisher. BY
another aspect of the work she was,
however, deeply impressed,
The author, German. assuredly
has no reason to cleave to the pres
ent German regime, for that regime
forced him to leave his country. Yet
his loyalty to the aggressive tradi-
ton of Germany's past is apparent
on every page. The glory" Of Ger
man arms overwhelming weaker
countries, the ''honor" of the Ger
man officers tradition, chafing in
peace, the greatness" Of keeping
on hand at all times plans for
crushing" "strangling" and "anni-
hilating" neighbor states-these are
the matters to which DR.. Rosinski
pays admiring tribute. The German
Army, he reiterates, has been the
soul of the German state, and the
finest values of that state have been
reflected in the army organization.
One does not expect a military
historian to go into the moral issues
of the wars which he discusses. But
when he Identifies those wars with
the ideals of the country involved,
one is justified in drawing ones con-
clusions. And the conclusion in this
case points to another of those pro-
found differences which lie between
the European and American men,

The Outnumbered

By Catherine Hutter. (Dodd,
Mead.)
Although this book has for it's
scene the Germany of the rising
NaM movement, it is not primarily
a political novel. It's scene is CLOSELY
limited, having to do with one small
village, and its characters are large
ly ignorant peasants of an unre-
hectiye quality. What it shows the
reader is the reaction of these peo-
pie to the new Hitlerian doctrines.
They have been for centuries a re-
hgious folk and obedient to author
ity. The habit of obedience makes
them accept Nazism, but the habit
OF religion is too deep to be abrupt
ly displaced. In bewildered and
grotesque fashion, they strive to fit
the new paganism on the founda-
tions of the old faith, or. in hysteria,
they go to extremes in remuneration
OF their religious past. In neither
mode are they free.
The plot of the story follows the
life of one little girl, Fehge, a Jew
lsh orphan adopted by the nursing
sisters of a sanitarium. The child
grows up a Christian of great de-
VoutneSs. She is innately humble
and looks for nothing in life beyond
her servants duties to the sani-
tarium patients, which, in UNTIL
tored but profoundly serious FASH
ion, she weaves into her religious
emotions. The climax of the story
is reached when Nazi hoodlums
break into her home to make an
example" of her, and are confronted
by the unquestionable fact of
miracle-the young girl has received
the stigmata. This very delicate
and difficult scene Miss Hutter ham
dies we'll, giving full attention to
the scientific attitude, but still max
ing it plain that, to her mind, re-
ligion is vital force in defeating
the common enemy.
The book is valuable thing for
its study of peasant mentality, a
factor of European life which we,
in this country, where there are
no peasants, are apt to forget.

The CoIumnisfs
By Charles Fisher. (HoDell,

ooohttk"
This is a series of lively profiles
of those pontiffs Of American public
opinion, the column writer's. It COW
ers the field pretty well, taking in
political commentators, military
forecasters, Broadway reporters,
Washington newsmen gossip
spreaders and Ernie Pyle. In each
case, it gives biographical sketch,
q history Of the column as an insti-
tuition, the number Of readers and
the estimated profits. It also offers
Charles Fishers opinion of the col
umn's value. That opinion can be
rated in general terms by the state
ment that Mr.. Fisher admires Win
chell and falls down completely in
his effort to present . convincing
sketch of Pyle. That man who
understood one would hardly under
stand the other goes, surely, with
out saying.
In the main, it makes an anus
ing book. Mr.. Fisher considers most
of the pontiflcators as somewhat ab-
surd and gives himself a good deal
of fun in pointing out their changes
of coat and the failures of their
public prophecies. He is especially
scornful of the military forecasters
in the latter respect, riding Mai
George Fielding Eliot and Fletcher
Pratt pretty hard. He views Walter
Lippmann and Mark Sullivan as
liberals who turned conservative
when they reached a certain peak
OF success, which is, of course, un-
fair. and he circles rather nervously
about Westbrook Pegler, whom he
obviously dislikes but cannot bring
himself frankly to attack, which
latter state of mind is understand
able. The old Pearson-Allen combi-
nation and the present Pearson
carry-on gets his admiration, though
apparently on the grounds that the
column has made lot of people un-
comfortable; that, he says, is good
reporting. His views aside, how
ever, he is clever and entertaining
