The Smithsonian Institution has

War Background Studies, a series OF
compact pamphlets delving into

"The Pacific World" edited by

mammals, birds and reptiles of the
Islands, but much also can be learned
about the peoples, their history and
customs. Maps, charts and tables
expedite the use of the book. One
table tells at glance the number of
islands in each group, ownership

the rainy seasons.
Islands of the Pacific and "Is-

the Presidents goal OF 10000 600
jobs, find place in our economy
for 10000 to 10000 new small
merchants.
Much emphasis in postwar dis
cussions has been placed on our
increased productive power and it
is certainly the keystone Of future
prosperity, but If the products of
our mills and factories lack free and
full outlets to the consumer, we will
have created a dangerous bottle
neck. Little business will have to
supply the channels through which
goods and services move.
What can Government do, in ad-
dition to seeing that credit is avail
able to little business to aid in this
situation?
1t can and should provide operat-
ing and management counsel and
advice. The high mortality rate in
the field of little business over the
years proves that this is true. Too
many men and women attempt to set
themselves up in business with no
experience and scant knowledge.
Too many people, unfortunately
have believed that possession of a
little capital, some energy, and a
great deal of ambition provided suf-
ficient equipment for entry into the
small business field.
Greater Aid Is Uurged.
They have found to their sorrow
that there is more to commerce and
trade, whether 1t be big or small,
than these attributes.
Many have succeeded with no bet
ter initial equipment but they have
learned as they went along. There
will, Of course, always be failures.
Certainly, it is the responsibility
lof Government to make available
fundamental information which can
be used by any one who wishes to
set himself up in business and there
by give him as good a chance as 1t
| is possible to do.
The Department of Commerce has
for some time asked Congress to
take step in this direction through
the expansion of its field Offices
already in existence-so that there
may be provided for business a sery-
Ice similar to that which Govern
ment has for years placed at the dis
posal OF agriculture through county

In this novel of village life in the
1905 the reader will find the ele-
ments of genuine dramatic
tragedy. The bare plot indeed is a
recreation to the life of the face
which tragedy wears when it occurs
in the humdrum world of humdrum
people. Then it is seldom under
stood. The physical catastrophe
which accompanies it--in this story
a suicide pact between unhappy
lovers-overwhelms the spiritual
sources. The scandalous implica-
tions-the lovers were a young un-
married girl and a married man
drown out the beauty. Tragedy in
a village, in short, is apt to be
tragedy without its chorus. 1t has
no ennobling accompaniment to in
terpret it. Such an episode is the
one which Carol Brink has made
the subject of this novel.

Carlton Brown is not really the
author" of this book. He is the re-
, porter who set the story down as 1t
was told him by the man who ex-
perienced it. That was one whom
he designates as Michael Kelly
Jones, a young man who had the
unenviable distinction of going mad.
Michael, in his 9th year, after a
successful career as a free-lance
magazine writer and wide travel,
suddenly went off the mental deep
end. He was convinced that he was
a new Messiah come to save the
world, he became violent and was
sent to an observation ward, whence
he went to a New York State hos
pital for the insane suffering from
the kind of mental illness which is
known as manic Oppressive. After
seven weeks ne was discharged, and
in the four years which have fol-
lowed he has had no recurrence.
Like many people who have had
similar experiences, he has felt a
wish to tel his side of the affair,
and this book is the result. AS Mr..
Brown states III 1oreword, the
story is tod almost entirely in
Michaels own words.
If we take the usual reason given
for the publication of such expert
ences. which is to throw light on
mental illness, the moral to be
drawn from Michaels case seems to
be that young people should not be
in lack of standards of conduct to
guide them Michael was brought
up by divorced parents of diametri-
cally opposite philosophers. He re-
lates that ne loved his mother but
was more in sympathy with his
fathers view uf life Whether this
condition was enough to cause his
trouble or not must be left to the
psychiatristS. It is clear from the
story, however that something
caused the young man tc evade any
uncompromising ideal and to at
tach himself to persons and ideas
which he subcorsciously recognized
as shoddy. Through his report OF
a series of Jobs, friendships ana love
affairs this Is pain. The summer
when he went mad he met young
woman who seemed to him to fulfill
an ideals place. Whether it was
the contrast of his own disordered
life beside her serenity which made
him cross the line to insanity or
not, again must be for the doctors
to decide. But at any rate. he had
found his rootless, sCandardless ex-
istence intolerable
So much for the value to be gotten
from the book py those interested
in it as a case nistory Much more
important is the horrible picture
which Michael paints of conditions
in the State hospital where he was
confined. There, ne says, tortures,
neglect. insult and robbery are the
lot of the patients vino. of course,
are entirely defenseless. If such
be the truth, it is dn excellent
thing that the story is told, what
ever the value may be to the theory
OF mental illness.

Sumner Welles, it all. There is no
peace plan advocated: there is no
advocacy of anything. The volume
aims at being completely objective.
The result is precisely what the
title tells us-a guide for an in
telligent citizen. Certainly it is no
volume for the man or woman who
is not seriously anxious to think
his own way through the maze of
world problems-or not able to do
so. In his foreword Mr.. Welles
calls on all of us to form our own
opinions. to distinguish between
propaganda and fact and to express
ourselves freely in the matter of
foreign policy in the future, saying
that the very existence of our
country depends on intelligence in
the handling of our foreign affairs
which must no longer be left to the
irresponsible guidance of a few
political leaders, but must be the
concern of every citizen. The
volume may be considered as Lesson
I in the assignment.

Anything Can Happen
By George and Helen Papash
Uily. (HarperS; s2.)

Here is presented a pleasant varia-
tion on the MISUNDERSTANDING
an-American theme. The immigrant
in question is George Papashvily, a
Georgian who came to the United
States after having fought for Rus
sian in World War I. Before that,
George had been apprenticed pic
turesquely to sword maker.
His life in America was comfort
ingly cheerful, as compared to the
lugubrious experiences which the
photographed immigrant unusu-
ally records. He did have a little
unemployment, to be sure, but he
took it lightly and mainly he throve
and proSpered. At present he is a
successful inventor and an amateur
sculptor. What he did all the time,
however, was enjoy himself. He
wandered all over the country and
whether he was working as a dish
washer in New York. a mechanic
in Detroit, restauranteur in Cali
fornia or farmer in Virginia, he
had a hilariously amusing existence.
The little book which he presents to
the public is in short, a series of
vignettes, told in broken English. of
the times and places where George
Papashivly was happy. It's nice to
meet a new-made American who
puts it that way.
The Helen of the auctorial pair is
Georges American wife, Califor-
nian girl who, though married, has
made an independent career with
her own bookshops. 1t seems that
she wrote the story down, as George
told it to her.
You will enjoy the book if you
read it in the spirit in which it was
written-that is, as humor.

These books deal with the estab-
