BRITISH LABORTTE
is TYPICAL
WELSH MINER

James Griffiths, minister for national
insurance in the British Labor govern
ment who visited Montana in November
l943 while touring the United States at
the invitation of the Workers Educa-
ton Bureau Of America, is Labor NJ
P for Llanelly, Wales, representing the
South Wales miners with whom he
used to work Thick-set and rugged, he
is, in appearance, the typical Welsh
miner, and his work in their behalf has
won for him the reputation of being one
of their best leaders.
Born in Ammanford, Wales, Griffiths
began work in the mines at the age Of
IS. He managed to get an elementary
school and labor college education, and
became secretary of the Ammanford
Trade Council and agent of the Llanely
Labor association. Later he was named
agent for the South Wales Anthracite
Miners and, during his three years as
president of the South Wales Miners
Federation, represented all the mine
workers on committee Of investigation
for the South Wales district.
In 1886 Griffiths was elected to Par
lament. His expert knowledge Of in
dustrial problems, vigorous speaking
style and fortnight opinions soon at
tracted attention
Within two years he was sitting on
the opposition front bench, frequently
leading for his party in major debates.
Before the war Griffiths was a mem
Der of the National Executive of the
Labor Party, and his duties embraced
both the political and industrial sections
of the labor movement.
Recognized as an expert on pensions
and other matters affecting the lives Of
working people, he was a member Of
the committee, set up in 1910, to analyzc
the Ministry of Pensions, with special
reference to war service grants and
compensation for war injuries. Grit
fiths, who lives at Tanycoed, BURY
Port, Carmarthenshire, is married and
has two sons and two daughters.

Tom Paine, Americo's Godfather
Bu w. E. Woodward (Dutton: $780,

Although there have been so many
biographies of Tom Paine in recent
years that another does not seem to
be necessary, this latest addition to
the collection, apart from its re-,
petitive nature, is a creditable piece
of work. 1t is well constructed and
we'll written and has the distinction
among it's kind of drawing heavily
on Paine's own work to support its
authors contentious. Although its
tone in many places is defensive,
and the authors attitude close to
hero worship, the work does not
strive immoderately for Paine's
glorihcation. 1t preserves a tenn
perate manner, even in building up
a character of extraordinary virtue
To the usual outline of Paine's
life not much is added in factual
material Mr.. Woodward takes the
view that it was the pamphlet
Common Sense" which started the
independence movement, holding
that there was a complete lack of
independence sympathy before the
pamphlet appeared. His claim is
that Common Sense" inspired the
Declaration. 1t was Paine, too, who
named the United States, he says.
Denying once more the already
many -times-denied charges that
Paine was an atheist. a drunkard
and in his last years a mere derelict.
he states, though without adducing
authority, that these stories were
circulated deliberately by Federal

Here is a must book for every

That Girl From Memphis
By Wilbur Daniel Steele. (Dou-
bleddy, Dordn,. S3.)

Using a cowboy ballad as pat
tern, Wilbur Daniel Steele under
takes to show in this novel how
widely life differs in reality from
convention. The ballad in question
tells the story of the alleged ro-
nance between the Kansas Kid and
the beautiful Bird from Natchez.
According to the song, it was an
affair of chivalry and tragic mis-
understanding, with both characters
very clear in their motives from
beginning to end. The Kid was a
oble-hearted, fire-eating cavalier
and Bird was pure maiden
wronged by villains. But, says Mr..
Steele, that wasn't the way things
were at all.
The Kid, in his telling, was a
greenhorn high school boy of more
than usual innocence and Bird was
a young prostitute-from Memphis,
not Natchez. Neither he nor she
had any experience with environ
ments beyond those which they oc-
cupied. The Kid, son of a religious
mother and reared in a small Mid
west town in the 80s, was aware
only of good. Bird, practically
brought up in vice, knew vice alone.
But they were fated to love one
another and, when they met on
the train en- route to an Arizona
boom town. both aged II and both
in quest of fortune according to
their lights. their lives were in
eXtricably joined. The rest of the
book is given over to describing the
gritty tortures which they inflicted
on one another in their efforts to
overcome the barrier which en-
vironment had put between them,
while a sentimental public sang
about their beautiful romance. Not
until they were two old people did
they manage to forget their preju-
dices.
The scene is Beulah City, the
boom town, and Mr.. Steele does
something very good in giving the
bare little mining camp the proper
tions of the world. Against its
curiously universal background the
story of the Kid and Bird takes on
beyond itself.-M.-C. R.

The Asian Legacy
And American Life

Edited By Arthur E. Christy.
With a conclusion by Pearl S.
Buck. (John Day; $780,
Pursuant to Pearl Bucks long
cherished project of bringing East
and West somewhat nearer to meet
ing is this volume of papers on the
legacy of Asia to our American civ
ilization. 1t seems a somewhat thin
performance. There are scholarly
papers on the Oriental influence in
art. poetry. music, agriculture and
religion, but their scholarship
seems likely to point the frailty of
the chain quite as much as its ex-
lstence.
The cultural relations between
East and West have indeed been
limited to cultural circles; they have
never had any great effect on popu-
lar life The practical interchanges,
however, have wrought their altera-
tions in our popular life, as exem-
plified by our acceptance of many
Oriental commodities as necessities
But only in the one field-agricul-
ture-does this volume deal with
those mundane matters. unless one
counts some not very relevant docu-
ments on the Far East trade which
are presented in an appendix. The
editor and Mrs. Buck prefer the
transcendental. 1t will limit the in
terest of their book accordingly,
which is too bad since the book
apparently is intended to affect pop
ular attitudes. NC. r.
