limit OF DARKNESS" by
Howard Hunt (Romdom; $3.50.


Bennett Cert, one of the clev-
crest promoters in the publishing
game, has decided to go all out
for Howard Hunts Limit of
Darkness," which is a novel about
the Navy filters VINO contributed so
much to the defense of Guadal-
canal, and the defeat of the Japa-
nese in that neighborhood. The one
thing overlooked, or at least dis
counted, in a promotion campaign
of the sort is that it often puts
intelligent readers on the defen-
sive.
Limit of Darkness is fine
book, though not a novel at all.
1t does not matter that Mr.. Hunt
has not written a novel, but mar
rative of aviators through "a hours
of their day; this has nothing to
do with the high quality of the
book. 1t does matter that Mr..
Hunt has not settled on any one
of his numerous characters, ana
has not developed any of them
He has caught their position in one
short segment of time, he has sug-
gested their backgrounds, and very
neatly manages to indicate what
their end will be. But except fo-
Babe and one of two others, I was
unable to be sure just which of a
number of interesting men I was

Atlantic Charter Inquest

| The Allied nations are conducting inquiries
into the meaning of the Atlantic Charter. One
frank correspondent in London says the in
vestgation is tending to turn into an inquest
Maybe it has not gone quite that far, but il
really seems to resemble an autopsy.
The Charter, which was hailed at the time
of its writing as an invaluable code of conduct
for all nations, under close examination re.
veals so many flaws that one is baffled how
to interpret it. Contradictory interpretations
may indeed constitute "a danger to the proper
organization of peace" as the correspondent
says.
He points out that whereas the Charter
itself declares it contains certain common
principles in British and American policies,
recent official utterances reveal discrepancies
in Interpretation and decided tendency to
minimize the documents own broad declara-
tion Secretary Hull, for example, last month
discredited it as the expression of funda-
mental detectives which merely point the dl-
rection in which solutions are to be sought.
In answer to an inquiry in the House OF Com
mons later, Prime Minister Winston Churchill
declared the Charter "a declaration of the
spirit and purpose in which the signatories
are waging the war;
What has brought about this change over the
spirit of the Charters dream? Many things.
One contradiction in the text is fair example.
Clause l says the signatories undertake to
''seek no aggrandizement, territorial or 9TH
err And in Clause they say they "desire
to see no territorial changes that do not ac-
cord with the freely expressed wishes of the
peoples concerned
The critics are asking what can aggrandize-
ment mean is these Circumstances since ter
ritorial changes contemplated under Clause
II necessarily will result in some victor state
emerging from the war larger than when it
went in?
The London correspondent wants to know
who the people concerned are in Clause
q? He gives his own answer thus:
Seeing the war started over rival claims
to certain European territories - Danzig
and the Polish Corridor-it clearly is pos
sible to give worldwide Interpretation to
the phrase. In view of the fact that the
dispute has ultimately involved the whole
population of the globe, it is impossible
to deny the rest of the world voice
in deciding the fate of these and similar
small communities and districts
It may be the world has outgrown the
Golden Rule but it is becoming very clear
that the Atlantic Charter is not the proper
substitute.

Up to the realm of fadeless day,

And Spring itself cannot make me glad,
Her voice comes back with its oId-time

 But in the case of Gen. de Gaulle, the State Department vir- tually threw the protocol book out the window.
 The IT guns that saluted him or arrival were four short of the q fired for the head of a state, but that was about the only in- stance in which de Gaulle did not get full honors.
 Immediately after his arrival, the general was welcomed by the President. He stayed at comfort able Blair house, the historic mansion which is now the official boarding house for kings, queens, presidents and prime ministers who come to call.
 The State Department tossed him a banquet. The War Depart ment assisted in a measure by the Navy, gave him another stump tuous dinner.
 In addition to his talks with de Gaulle, the President, himself, l planned a luncheon.
 Except for those four guns, no head of state could have been given any more attention. The object: To impress upon the gen. eraI and Henri -Etienne Hoppenot, head of the French legation in Washington, that even if the com nnittee- hadn't been formally rec ognized as the interim govern ment of liberated France, there certainly wasn't any reason to be- lieve 1t mightn't be if the French in France desire it.

 This may seem silly to lot of folks who think international re- lations would move forward fast CT if negotiations would take off their coats, slip down their gal fuses and forget about how far from the head of the table they were seated.
 However, protocol has it's uses, and some of them are vital, indeed, in the relations of one country with another. No better example exists than in the visit here of Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
