Here's a European bird's-eye
view of western civilizations IA
vorite battle ground. Now, with
the Anglo American Allies
punching out beachheads across
the English Channel, the area
from Normandy to Berlin seems
headed for its climactic military
campaign.
In selecting the Normandy
Peninsula for their first land
ings, the Allies lodged the
handiest and perhaps most OBJ
vious invasion area-from the.
mouth of the Rhine to the Seine
but by adding q few score miles
of distance to be travelled they
gained advantages of surprise
and terrain, which doubtless
saved many lives.
The day-long attack on Dieppe
in 1912 proved how costly could
be a frontal landing on the
heavily fortified coast facing the
Straits of Dover.
BY striking westward the Allies
gained sea room for the greatest
amphibious operations yet de-
vised, the advantage of surprise
against formidable dug-in de-
tenders and the choice of two
peninsulas which might be
pinched off to good purpose.

Books like this always make the
reviewer bitterly regret that, at an
early age, she did not manifest
some talent for zoology. For if
there is a more nearly ideal life
than that of the working zoologist,
going happily of to the ends of the
earth in search of arboreal pango-
Inns, aardvarks, guenons, genets,
galagos, geckos, lions, tigers n
bears, she cannot imagine what 1t
is. That is what Arthus Loveridge
has been doing most of his exist
ence. and the story Of the idyll is
what he tells in this book.
Mr.. Loveridge has a less mobile
job, to be sure-he is the curator
OF reptiles and amphibians at Har-
wards Museum of Comparative
Zoology. But, obviously, what he
likes Is aardvarks, lions, tigers n
bears, and he has been all over what
Don Marquis used to call the then
known world hunting those same.
Along with bush babies, Glands,
driver ants and, of course, all kinds
of big and little snakes.
The sound of a happy life is every
where in his book. You cannot
read him without being utterly
charmed.

Normandy and Brittany, thrust
ing far out toward England,
seem to invite such attacks.
From this west country nat
ural military routes lead along
the valley of the Seine to Paris.
Historically, the way to Berlin
from Paris Cor vice versa is
through the gate of Belfort in
the Vosges Mountains toward
Strasbourg and thence up the
Rhine Valley. Another follows
the Moselle eastward to the
Reich, skirting Luxembourg. The
epic battles of Verdun in the
First World War are q monu-
ment to the Importance at
tached to the latter route.
But an even more natural road
for the Allies is along the coast
by way of Belgium and the Meth
erlands. Here, where some Of
the most important action of
World War / took place as well
as decisive German drives in
1910, the Allies would have the
advantage of maximum air con-
troll, sea dominance.
The supply problem could be
simplified by seizing ports along
the coast through use of the am
phibious maneuvers which have
already served so well.

nounced that DR.. New Deal was
dead and that the place had been
taken by DR.. Win-the- War. In q
long metaphorical resume of his
accomplishments and the tasks
ahead, he seemed to be making a
political speech. Bert Andrews, alert
Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald Tribune, put his
finger on the spot with, Mr.. Presi-
dent, do they all add up to q
fourth term?"
Mr.. Roosevelt was plainly fius-
tered. He dropped the memoran-
dunn from which he had been read
ing and finally replied that he had
not been talking about that at all
and that the reporter was getting
"picayune.' He was not angry or
annoyed. After the conference, he
chatted with the correspondent,
recognizing q worthy opponent.
Several weeks later, when the Dem
ocratic National Committee ear
nestly solicited" him to continue as
"our great world humanitarian lead
err" he merely gave a noncommit-
tai, oh!
On February 8, this. year, when
he was bluntly asked, Would you
accept a fourth-term nomination.
he replied that there was no news
on that today and after he had been
informed on May 9 that Demo-
cratic Chairman Robert E. Hanne-
gan had asked New York office for
his reelection, he told reporters
that he was not going to talk about
it (the nomination. now any more
than he had before. A week later,
when a reporter recalled that two
Oklahoma Representatives had said
that he was mot angry" at their
offers of support, he evaded an an

He denied this month that when
he had said he hoped to meet
Prime Minister Churchill sometime
in the summer, fall or late spring
that he meant after January 20
next year. Asked if he would run
again, he said Time will tell"
AS in 1910, he had his own little
joke about his political future. BY
an apparent slip of the tongue
he asked Representative William
Lemke of North Dakota, Union
party presidential candidate in 1896
whether they would run against
each other again this year. Realiz-
ing the slip he had made, he quick
ly covered by adding, That is, If I

1910 and 1914 are almost identical

The Day Is Coming
By William Cameron. Mac
mtlldn,)

BY William Cameron. (Mdc-
milldn.)
Two purposes seem to have ami
mated the author Of this long novel
to delineate the decay Of the
British working class from the end
Of the craftsman period to the pres
ent and to write with the fresh
bounce of vigor of Dickens. He seems
to argue that II Dickens could IN
corporate q grim social theme In q
cheerfully written book another man
can do likewise. But what Is true
In logic Is not necessarily true In
criticism and the rebuttal in the
prevailing paper shortage can oe
stated with what one hopes Is not
too unkind q brevity thus-what
other man? Substitute Dickenses
have been rare in letters and WI
liam Cameron, though obviously =
man of talent, rattles somewhat in
the great masters shoes.
So much for. his style. His COW
erage Of this theme, however, has
considerable to be said for It.
His story opens in 1887, when
William Morris was agitating for his
guild socialism. The master crafts
man by then had ceased to be the
dominant factor in industry and the
modern skilled machine worker had
not emerged as q type. The indus
trial revolution had produced q
mass Of the disinherited for whom
the slave mentality seemed to be
an inevitable development. Morris,
preaching the salvation of the IN
dividual through individual mastery
Of craft, hoped to change the
prevailing economic system. Mr..
Cameron's story is that OF a man
who, in his youth, comes under
Morris influence, accepts his train
ing, becomes a master metal worker
and then lives to see the tri-
umphant machine displace the last
vestiges Of handwork. Through the
whole merciless experience he re-
tains the Morrisian ideals, not only
as to the integrity Of his personal
work but as to the organization
Of society on the basis of the full
DEVELOPMENT of the individual
through acquisition and use OF .
body OF knowledge and skills.
The book becomes q sort Of in
dustrial history enlivened by the
heros scathing comments on each
succeeding phase. In its early stages
it depicts the joyous life OF the
guild community. Then there fol-
lows the horror Of slum existence In
London with periods OF 'unemploy-
ment, the dole, the workhouse and
the rest of 1t. The ironical con-
clusion has the hero, who as = guild
socialist has fought capitalism all
his life, becoming capitalist him
self-and not merely q capitalist but
q racketeer. Then for the first time
he is able to see his family out
Of fear and want.
The point Of view Of the novel, it
should be emphasized, is completely
opposed to all the current forms
of "radicalism" It opposes labor
politics, Communism and social
Legislation with impartial scorn. It's
point Of view is that since . man
is an individual he might Is well
live as one Current "liberas'' win

but biology, If nothing else, upholds

BIZ Andre Mdurois. Translated
from the French BY Denper
and Jane Lindley. (Hdrper.j


In his pleasant survey of our
Nations life. the ubane Andre
Maurois gives all us Americans q
series of quite elegant compliments.
We have a large, fine continent,
says he politely, and we have done
some remarkable things on It. AL
considered. we have brought it to a
point where it just about deserves
q book from Mr.. Maurois' polished
pen. What pity, one thinks, as
one goes through his pages Of
charming commentaries, that Mr..
Maurois has to be q historian in
stead Of designer Of history! What
q fine world it would be If he
could write history in advance Of
the fact instead of after!
Anyhow, don't read him If it is
history you want, but by all means
read him If it's ingenious entertain
ment. For the history Is no more
than every school child knows, from
Pocahontas saving John Smith
(but with the Parson Weems' cherry
tree omitted for some reason) right
down to the New Deal. The enter
tainment consists in the grace with
which the accomplished Gaul skates
around the less gracious episodes
of our national growth and the
adroitness with which he charges
his invincible optimism with just
enough sophistication-no more. The
book, in short, is an exquisite model
of these United States in French

Thomas D. Clark, in this book, has
undertaken to do for the country
store about what David L. Cohn
did for the mail-order house in his
"Ihe Good Old Days" To be sure,
Prof. Clark offers . modest nmi-
:tation on his field, saying that he
has treated only of the country
store of the South, but any Amer
lean who has lived In an authentic
rural environment will recognize the
institution. Meat, meal and mo-
lasses may have made . bigger item
of trade south of the Mason-Dixon
line than above 1t, just as cotton
serves there for . unique currency,
but the part played by the cross
roads general merchandise empo-
rum has been pretty much the
same throughout the United States,
and If your experience has been with
a Yankee trader or q Midwest or
Western one, you will still recog-
nize the sights, smells, personages
and general features Of the institu-
ton as you read Prof. Clark's book
His work rests on sound knowledge,
abetted by an obvious volume of
study, and is genuine contribution
to American folk and economic his
tory.
Abiding by his self imposed limi-
tation, however, Prof. Clark begins
his story in the South with the
close of the Civil War, at which
time the general store began to
flourish in place of the self con-
tanned economy of the large planta-
ton. He describes the rise of the
institution in general terms, citing
specific stores as examples. Then
he goes into the real meat of his

sheer fantasy which reminds the
reviewer, at the moment, that We
are, after all, q nation which loves
"predigested" cereals.
Wen, anyway, with figures, charts
and graphs, DR.. Bruner demon
strates that America Is now In world
politics; that after the war Amer
leans must come to q better UNDER

security Is regarded favorably IN
and around our country; that un-
employment, in the future, must bs

chants responsibility for his GUS

intensely real, and both richly comic
and heartbreakingly pathetic by
actual quotations from old store

q note asking that the stamp be

cannot read the book without feel
ing the very pulse Of rural America,

unglamorized.
