and by his procurement of gold
reserve, he rendered an indispensable
pioneer service to the revolutionary
government.
When Lenin died, he was promptly
framed by the party fanatics. IRON
ically, however, in the midst of his
inquisition by the OGPU a crisis
arose in Soviet timber negotiations
with Sweden and, to save the situa-
ton, he had to be ordered back into
harness. He accepted the assign
ment, went to Copenhagen and
ironed out the difficulty. But he
had learned his lesson. He did not
return to Russia. Fortunately, his
family was not on Russian soil so
he had no need to fear reprisals.
His book is much more a record

Journey Through Chaos

By Victor AlerdndroD. litter
arg Press publication, distrib-
uted By Cro1Dn Publishers; So
Had this book been published
q few years ago it might we'll have
been thought sensational by Amer
lean readers. It is record of the
life of an underprivileged man in
Europe the past 30 years or so and
it Sits down to an accumulation
of denominations. BY now, however,
we have read it all before and too
often to be surprised by any of it.
We merely accept such reports in
this day. We do not feel much
beyond acceptance.
In the first place it is hard for
an American to understand why
Victor Alexandrov should be thought
of as underprivileged. To be sure,
he had his own way to make. Among
us that is thought to be rather
admirable handicap. But his career
is a vivid demonstration of how
perilous life can be on the other
side of the Atlantic for a young
man who has no tangible backing.
Victor was son of a prosperous
Russian lawyer. Lost by his parents
during the revolution, he joined
band of wild children" and spent
a time living in degradation and
criminality. Subsequently he was
restored to his family, who had
emigrated to Finland. He was put
in military school in Germany
where discipline was simple sadism.
He ran away and Joined shady
Greek uncle in Paris. From that
point he entered on a career of
miscellaneous jobs, working as guide,
AS secretary to male prostitute.
as sailor on Greek freighters. as
member of the Strasser branch of
the Nazis and as Communist Or
gani5er. In all these he suffered
abuse and cruelty, and in some
torture.
Finally, in Greece, he established
himself as a newspaper distributor
and later editor and correspondent.
The Nazis, starting their economic
penetration, tried to win him as
propagandist He resisted and fled
again. In Paris he worked for
munitions maker who was engaged
in swindling the Spanish loyalists
Finally he met a well-to-do Amer
lean girl with whom, as he tells us,
he set out for the United States.
His publisher completes the tale,
announcing that he sis now an
American citizen, lives in Hollywood
and devotes his full time to writing -
My feeling would be that you can
figure it out for yourself. Upton
Sinclair, in foreward to the book
mainly commendatory, puts it that
he has suspicion that the author
has favored himself on several oc-
casions." I would not without rea-
son doubt Mr.. Alexandrov's account
of his adventures, but I do find
internal evidence to make me doubt
his insistence on his unwavering
idealism while those adventures, even
to serving the Nazis, were taking
place. 1t would seem to me that
he was UP against it and did what
he could. thinking only of keeping
alive. And would respect him
a good deal more if he said so. But.
writing for an American public he
has remembered the American de-
mand for high principle. 1t is q
tribute that Europe has paid us
more than once before in our history.

,StepchiIdren' of France

By Charles Qdic. Roy; $780,
The horrible massacre of the Jews
Of France in the years of the Ger
man occupation is the material of
this book. It's author, Frenchman,
a Catholic of an old Breton family,
Is a physician who witnessed some
of the denominations Of which he
writes. He was moved to cry out
with an eloquent voice on these
grounds-tnat the Jews of France
were Frenchmen, that a Frenchman
cannot be either pro-semitic or anti
but must be always French, and
that the crime against Frances
Jewish people is therefore a crime
against France and must be dealt
with as such.
His book has the quality of stir
ring oratory. 1t quotes example
after example of German bestiality
only to rise after each to heights of
moral wrath-it might be the lam
entations of an Old Testament
prophet. AS history, it also has its
value.
For We have known that the
Nazis prosecuted Jews everywhere,
but of the Jewish murders done in
France we have not heard great
deal-they have been lost in the
whole current of Nazi crime. DR..
Odic confines his account to Paris
but in that small scope makes it
terribly clear that, where gentiles
suffered tenfold, Jews suffered a
hundred. His appalling book should
be read. Nothing out of the Warsaw
ghetto that is worse has come my
way as yet.

SIXTY MILLION JOBS.

Reviewed by ROBERT ]. LEWIS
Here Secretary of Commerce Wal
lace sets forth a challenging, per-
suasive formula for attaining a
goal of 10000, 900 jobs. He says the
task can be accomplished without
planned economy" without infia-
ton and without an unbalanced
budget.
This is Mr.. Wallace's eighth book
and what he considers his most

publication will be turned over to a
foundation to encourage scientific
research and literary and educa-
tional activities in the field Of
economics.
Core of the idea is economic PLAN
ming and cooperative effort based
on a national budget. This budget
would not merely cover receipts and
expenditures of the Federal Gov
ernment. 1t would also include
everything bought and consumed
each year by every one.
Under it the Government would
act when it became clear the ma
tional market was not going to be
big enough to keep people fully en-
ployed.
Free Enterprise System
Several other means could be en-
ployed to guarantee full employ
ment, Mr.. Wallace believes, but
none, In his opinion comedies with
the American free enterprise sys-
tenn. One extreme he rejects is
the planned economy of a regi-
mented state, another the issuance
of per capita amounts of money
to all along the lines of the social
credit scheme, third outright

plan best meets that condition, he
believes.
In bare outline, he proposes that

two types: Tax and credit incen-
tives, and use of Government funds
In case public expenditure is indi-
Gated, he envisages that funds would
be used by Government for public
works and investment in develop
ment of resources, and for grants
in aid to States.
The Needs Of the People
Aside from advancing the national
budget formula, Mr.. Wallace pre-
sents a graphic analysis of the Ma
tion's responsibilities and what he
calls the grand pattern of our po-
tential peacetime development. And
he makes clear that what he has
to say about full employment is in
the nature of an attempt ito give
some sense of direction to what ]
consider to be our needs as people

for exact specifications, he SAYS
In our democratic life, that is the
function of Congress.
He is unworried that democratic

deliberate claptrap of confusionists,
he says. The real danger, he be-
lieves, is that 1--WE shall not appre-

This impression continued to grow
on him until one day in Washington

planning ahead, not only for their
