In this little first novel by young

a Negro tragedy which reads like
reminiscence of many other stories
on its theme. One finds in it over
tones of both Scarlet Sister Mary"
and "Mamba's Daughters" But it
is somehow innocently reminiscent
One gets the impression that the
author was SO full of her lore that
she could not distinguish between
original and source material.
She tells the tale of a Negro
woman grown too old to continue
her career of casual loves and turned
field hand on big estate. She is
unable to fit into the pattern there,
though it is not an unkindly one.
Lonely and abandoned, she suffers a
series of griefs until at last, driven
to the wall, she commits murder
That is all. The story is awkward
and artless and its ending creaks
of the deus ex machina. The sor-
row of the injured race Is In it

EAST OF THE IRON
By William van Narig. (Zif
Davis; S..

Although the author of this book
about Russia announces that his
material is different from what we
Americans have been led to be-
lieve," a reader will find a great
deal of the work twice-told tale.
The author has the authority, how
ever, of long residence in Russia.
He is the son of a German father
and an English mother but he was
born in Russia and served in the
Russian Army in the First World
War. He witnessed the revolution
and, though his dislike of dictator
ship led him to emigrate to Amer
ica, he has made numerous return
visits to his native land. What he
writes, therefore, has the weight of
experience behind it and if, instead
of being different" it merely con-
firms the opinion formed by many
correspondents on briefer observa-
ton, it makes the opinion the more
impressive.
That opinion is that Russia is out
to take Europe, that she is resting
up and may rest up for 10 or 20
years, but that her intention is a.
war to the death with England to
the end that she may take control
of the Mediterranean and the lands
that it adjoins.
This opinion is developed out OF
William van Narig's examination OF
Russian history in its relation to
the Stalinist state. The Russia OF
today, he says, is new only in SEEM
ing. Actually it is the identical
Russia of the past, governed from
the top, symbolzed by the person.

He goes on to say that this ira
ditional setup has new life in it to-
day because of the recent victory
The Russian people have been COM
pletely deceived about the winning
of the war, he warns us. They be-
lieve that the advance of our Army
into Germany was almost uncon-
tested; our documentary films, he
says, were never exhibited outside
party circles. The Russian press, on
the other hand, told the people that
the Germans surrendered in the
West almost without a blow. The
belief of the people, therefore, Is
that the winning of the entire war,
so far as fighting went, was done
on their soif by their troops. They
regard themselves both as martyrs
and conquerors and have only con-
tempt for Great Britain and our
selves.
Mr.. van Narig concludes that if
the future Anglo-Russian conflict
is to be avoided the United States
must act now. His idea is that we
should abandon the U. N. and put
ourselves at the head of a union of
peace loving nations which would
include the demOcracieS of Europe,
Japan, China and the Moslem
peoples of the Middle East who may
not like Britain bat who fear Russia
more. The new alliance, he thinks.
should be based on commerce and
trade, in which fields we have an
advantage. Short of that, he sees
nothing before us but the certainty
of a Russian instigated World

The Life Story

LEARNING HOW TO
BEHAVE

LEARNING HOW TO
BEHAVE
By Arthur M. Schlesinger.
(Macmiilan; 81.
The subject of this book is a
promising one-the history in the
United States Of the book Of eti-
quette." Arthur Schlesinger, how
ever, has limited himself to a brief
survey of the fascinating matter.
His book is less than 100 pages long
and his treatment is proportion
ately general. Inevitably amusing,
the material which he presents will
make most readers wish that he
had undertaken a more exhaustive
method.
What he tells us is that the eti-
quette book has been with us al
ways. Cotton Mather's contempo-
raries conned its pages -arbiters OF
propriety syndicate their rules to-
day-and there has never been q
letup. At all times in our history,
we Americans have been avid read
ers OF works ON "how to behave"
Mr.. Schlesinger surveys the differ
ent periods of our Development
Colonial and early American up to
the first quarter of the 10th CEN
tury, what he calls the time Of re-
publican etiquette" up to the Civil
War, then the years of the vast for
tunes and self f-conscious display
which lasted up to World War I,
then the famous jazz age. and
finally comment on our own time.
In each period he contents himself
with naming the prominent authori-
ties and giving resume OF the pre-
vailing trends.
One of the amusing statements
which he makes is that the Earl OF
Chesterfield, commonly deemed the
ultimate authority on the noble
manner of conduct, was really an
early model Dale Carnegie. Ches-
terfield, says Mr.. Schlesinger, ad-
vocated good manners on the
ground that they paid dividends.
Another peculiarly significant point
of the book is its presentation Of
the advice of the etiquette writers
to women throughout the decades.
In the late 18th century we have

Approach to nations history by
its manners is probably as relevant
