use of lease-lend supplies in the
war. >. What we send to our Allies
for their use in war is part of our
own war effort. This Is not a
commercial transaction. 1t is a mill
tary move. Our supplies which
go to the war are paid for on the
battlefield in the damage they do
to our enemies"
If this line of thought were car
ried out, particularly. in the settle

able to contribute little material

German Army are far larger than
the contribution made by either
America or Great Britain on the
battlefield.
But there is one category OF sup
plies which the United States has
furnished both the British Empire
and Russia in large amounts for
which payment on liberal terms
might reasonably be expected. This
includes capital goods with a post
war commercial value, such as loco
motives and other railroad equip
ment, oil refneries, shipping pipe
lines, assembly plants and port IA
cilities
Through December. 1943. the value
OF such items was about $4,000 0OO.-
QUO. This equipment can be used
for purely civilian commercial pur-
poses after the war and some paw

pected.
May Need More Loans.
When. after the final defeat of
Germany and Japan, the United
States figures out its accounts with
its Allies, the operation will be the
most complex in the history of in
ternational finance. However. the
complete fiasco that marked the debt
settlements Of the l920s have pro-
Vlded some danger posts which econ
omists will regard if the settlement
is left to them.
They realize, first. that no settle
ment will be worth the paper on
which it is written unless it takes
into account the fact that nations
whose foreign balances and invest
ments have been depleted can only
pay with new balances which are
created through revived interna
tlonal trade. To this end. liberal
tariff policies and unrestricted ex-
change will be necessary.
Second, it is realized here that
during the immediate postwar period
Great Britain and Russia may re-
quire loans or credits to re-esta blish
their business. Eric Johnston of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce already is sponsoring such a
credit to promote trade with Russia
The greatest danger to a wise and
liberal settlement which will take
into account the realities of world
economics, officials here believe, is
the possibility that it may become,
as in the days after the World War.
a political issue divorced from the
actualities of the problem.

e. RinehartJ
Clyde Brion Davis. the deadpan
novelist. has used his accomplished
technique of earnest dumbness up
to now In portraying number of
readily recognizable types. He has
given us the newspaperman who
plans to write the great American
novel, the white-collar boy who be-
lieves in working hard as a sure
road to advancement and the scared
runt who becomes a war hero. all
without allowing ripple of editor
ial satire to move on the surface of
his pages. And he has done it very
well, too. Here he applies the same
formula. but not with such success
ful results. He departs from his
custom Of choosing a hero who is
typical, or at least typical in life. and
offers one drawn straight out of
romance. The deadpan system of
writing. it develops. does not lend
itself to romantic portrayal
The hero in question is a noble
yeggman. painfully honest youth
who is convinced that by robbing
the well-to-do he attacks a false
system of society But the Robin
Hood type, though it does well in
minStrelsy. comes off badly when
treated with monotonous realism.
1t does not stand up. A reader can
not believe that any one could be
as intelligent as Mr. Davis shows
his Leo Mcguire to be through his
speech and at the same time be as
stupid as Leo is in his conduct. As
an individual Leo is impossible and
as type he does not suit the treat
ment which his author gives him.
If you viewed his case as it might
be set forth by a social worker you
would conclude that Leo's trouble
was that he was talked into a career
Of crime by an older criminal who
needed lively lad for an appren-
tice, for that is the fact as Mr.. Davis
shows it. The arguments which he
puts in the older mans mouth, how
ever. would not be sufficient to con-
vince the originally skeptical Leo
If Leo is as bright as Mr.. Davis has
told US. In short. the parts of the
book just do not connect. If you do
not mind the hiatuses in logic. how
ever, the tale is readable just as
plain story.

1t Con Be Done This Time
By Frederick Palmer. fScrib-

Writing in unashamed emotional
fervor, Frederick Palmer. the vet
eran war correspondent, now mill
tary commentator for the North
American Newspaper Alliance. lays
down here his plan for a world order
which will assure peace.
Europe. he says. must be COM
pletely disarmed, save for the vic
torious powers. The occupied ma
tions must be assured of their pre-
war status and of their former gov
ernments unless they elect freely to
have others. The people must be
fed until they have had time to
bring In another harvest. Russia
will police the eastern areas and
Great Britain the western. AS for
ourselves, We must begin to value
our accomplishments and heritage
and demand that Europe, the home
OF constant wars for a thousand
years, learn from us the art of liv-
ing at peace. What We have done
they must learn to do, and until
they do they must be regarded as
potential danger, for such they have
always been.
Mr.. Palmer is so intensely in
earnest in his suggestions, so sin
cere and convinced, that he i'm
parts evangelical quality to his
words. 1t is impossible to read him

The Low Road
By EdUard HdUill.

6y EdUQTd HdCtI. fHQrperJ
This is a book obviously drawn
from personal experiences in rural
living. 1t is the story of young
writer Clay fireman. who lives in a
cabin on the wooded shore of a lake.
While it is concerned at times with
the farmer for whom he works. or
with his wife and their newborn
child, 1t is primarily the story of
Clay and his thoughts. Tho
thoughts are not particularly start
ling ones, running mostly along the
lines that nature is a wonderful
thing, that it Is good for men to
work with their hands and that if
more people realized these things
there would be less war.
For the most part. there is a
gratifying cleanness about the writ
ing and an obvious personal convic-
ton in the ideas expressed. CLAW,
undeniably poet, catches both the
sweep and the minutiae of his out
door surroundings. and Mr.. Havill
re-creates it all in way that will
delight the keenest nature lover.

Lake Superior
By Grace Lee Mute. (Bobbs.
MerriU.)
These three volumes of the
American Lakes Series are of more
than regional interest. The great
inland seas are of Importance to
both the United States and Canada,
and their stories should provide
lively reading throughout both
countries.
The books trace the history of the
lakes from their discovery to their
development as the worlds greatest
tresh-water seas. All three authors
follow the same general pattern-a
combination of historical data,
heroic characters, exciting adven-
lures. majestic scenery-and the
results are highly readable.
Two more volumes, Lake On
tario,' by Arthur Pound and Lake
Erie" by Harlan Hatcher, will COM
plete the series. which is edited by
the author of Lake Michigan" If
the remaining books match the
quality of the three now available,
the series will constitute a valuable
