THE OTHER SIDE

By Storm Jameson. (Macmil-
Ian; }l.75.)
In the short space allowed by the
novelette, form, Storm Jameson
gives here vivid picture OF the
German national neurosis. She has
nothing to add to the description OF
that sickness as it has been set
forth by numerous other writer's to
date. She simply says that the
German Is q possessed creature,
driven by madness, but not dis
ordered madness-by. rather, logic
which Is internally sound but has
no relation to reality. This has
been said before, both in fiction and
nonfiction, many times. But Miss
Jameson says it with validity in
spite Of the repetition. She puts
the statement into a genuinely dra-
matte story and enforces it with the
good old elements Of suspense and
love.
Her plot involves the emotions OF
. family of upper-class Germans

officers are billetted. The son of
the family engages in conspiracy
against the conquerors, dreaming,
even so soon after defeat, Of the
new German Soviet" which is to
subdue the world. A widowed
French daughter-in-law exposes the
treachery. BY the time that hap
pens, however, the reader has been
shown the hateful German obses-
sion in many reflections - in the
minds of the old grandmother, the
son, the daughter and the young
grandson, who is the most thorough
fanatic of all. What Miss Jameson
seems to say is that Germans are
hopeless, incurable maniacs incur
ably bent on the slaughter Of the
world.

The book covers a summer vaca-

English public school, where he is
the butt of the usual brutality, he
hopes to find an escape in the new

These fragments of a non-Fascist
italian woman's diary, kept from
