Subsequently Mr. Mackenzie King
had two important tasks: First tC
encourage the United States to joir
the struggle and, second, to
strengthen Canada as a politica
and fighting entity. His earlier
efforts in both directions were laio
bare in a volume of his speeches
published in l94l, entitled Canada
at Britains Side"
In the present volume Of 81
speeches. delivered from the begin
ming of the third year of war vel
into its fifth year, he is mainly
concerned with preserving Canada s
unity in the face of increasingly
ominous ethnic and political ten
slons intensified by war
Unfortunately, few Of us have
considered it worth the time to dis
cover Canada except as a land Of
lakes and forest, of skiing and re-
sort hotels. For this reason, the
subtler implications of these ad-
dresses are lost to most Americans

addresses may be read intelligently
by the average American Though
varying in their degree of objec-
tiVlty. they call attention to funda-

which are touched on for a Cana

Kings speeches.
If this volume accomplishes moth

Every one is interested in his own
health. And when a physician who
knows what he is talking about and
can write we'll produces a book on
his profession there is an excellent
chance it will be interesting to the
layman.
In this book by Dr. Binger, who
is a practicing physician in New
York and a member Of the Cornell
Medical College faculty, stresses the
direction of medicine toward psy-
chiatry in the years since doctors
as he says, came out from behind
the ambush of their boards"
To Dr. Binger, the relationship
between mind and body is not only
a fascinating but a tremendously
important study. He Says 1T is
almost as important to know what
kind of patient has the disease as
what kind of disease the patient
has"
This being true, the relationship
between patient and physician is OF
primary significance, and Dr.
Bin9er recognizes that. The most
important items a doctor has tC
dispense, he says, are his time, his
care and his interest. and the
essence of good medical care de-
pends on a closer relationship be-

Every one, sooner Or later, writes a
book on the wickedness of the Nazis.
That Is what Ludwig Bemelmans
has done here. But even in dealing
with that much-used theme. he has
kept his familiar manner of telling
a fairy tale. He has given his story
OF NaziS-VerSuS- -men-of good will
something of the quality of a fam

He sets his scene in RegenSburg
where, he tells us, there is an island
in the Danube which belongs to no
body and is not recorded iii any
municipal document. On this ter

live an old man. his two sisters and
their beautiful niece-harmless peo-

concerned mainly with the difficult

be done there according to the rules.

Another of Miss Aimedingen'
books about life in her native Lenln-
grad, this novel has rather forced
together quality about it, as if the
inspiration which the author re-
ceived from recollections of the
city were running short. Her first
book on the subject was her auto
biography, in which she related how
her young impressions of pre- and
post revolutionary Leningrad shaped
her imaginative life. Next came a
novel, "Frossia, which, in good part,
retold her own story. Now comes
still another novel dealing with a
young girls career in Russias for
mer capital city. 1t is set in the
recent past, where "FroSSla" ended
in the post civil war period, but it
has much the same problems and,
even. some of the same characters,
Frossia herself being one.
The heroine, DaSha, is introduced
as she is dismissed from state
hospital in the Crimea where she
has undergone years of treatment to
cure a crippled condition. She re-
turns, well, to Leningrad where she
spent her childhood, thereby giving
Miss Almedingen the chance to
repeat her rhapSodies on the city's
beauty. And she experiences difficult
ties, after her long immurment in
the hospital, in adapting herself to
the extremely crowded life into
which she is plunged-thereby again
giving her author opportunity to
repeat a .favorite gambit. She tries
at first to live with her stepfather
who. having become a successful
civil servant, has acquired the usual
traits of the bourgeoisie. Then she
discovers her artistic ability and
becomes a student, struggles with
student life and hence into a love
affair which seems to promise to
solve all her problems.

one as having any particular in
tegrity. 1t seems to have been vio-

The Ballad
And the Source
By ROSanund Lehman. lRey
nal &y Hitchcock. S275.)


One of the most irritating aucto-
rial devices is that of having a story
told through the eyes of a character
who takes no part in it, who merely
looks and listens in a sort OF DR.
WatSoniSh fascination. In the pres
ent novel this method is used and is
made doubly irritating by the i'm
probable nature of the onlooker
For it is a child, little girl of about
10 years, and the material of the
story which RoSamund Lehman
makes her report is that of an eX-
tremely complicated drama of adult
emotions. She is no little pitcher
either. She does not hear the pas
Sionate tale by the accident of being
unnoticed by her elders. No, indeed
The elders simply confide in her
They spend long hours pouring out
histories of their conduct and eX-
plantations of their motives for her
tender ears. 1t may be too much to
say that the thing is impossible, but
its improbablility is extreme.
The meat of the novel, however
is a character study of a violently
emotional and selfish old woman,
Mrs. Jardine,. one of the little girl S
confidantes. She has had a tenn
pestous life which included in her
youth the abandonment of her huS-
band and infant daughter for the
sake of a lover and the subsequent
pursuit of the daughter through a
lifetime, ending only when she had
driven her child insane.
Mrs. Jardine is not a mere mon
ster. however. The portrait of her
is extremely subtle. She is woman
SWayed on the surface of her nature
by the cliches of feminine inde-
pendence but really living in the
depths of emotional slavery. The
Subtlety of the portrayal lies in the
circumstance that she never recog-
nizes the conflict in herself. She
engages in conduct of utterly primi-
tive crudity and justifies it always In
terms of an idealistic crusade-and
does not know the difference.
Had the portrait not been made
absurd by the method of presenta-
ton, one could say that the book was
a brilliant performance. For Mrs.
Jardine is a wonderfully real per-
son. AS it is, the necessity Of seeing
her manifold complications through
the eyes of a mere child. detractS a
great deal from the novels validity.
