 This code the work of technical experts from eight countries and conditions found factories through out the world. It will be presented to governmentem poyerabor conference next year. and will eventually be passed member nations for ratification With the code will go what members calls "the comprehensive handbook safety matters compiled"
 Such program this should certainly speed rehabil taton of baewrecked industries production and add to the earnings security and we-beng of workers throughout the world.

hand news endures for it is the
stuff of which history is made"
In previous volume, "The
Fruits Of Fascism," Mr.. Mat
thews told the amazing story OF
how the people were mislead by
cheap mountebanks. Now, in
the five hundred pages of this
volume tnot. one could be ommit-
tedD he describes the recent
tragic struggle which became al
most universal and all but
wrecked civilization.
I think his attitude toward the
pr1ckly Russian situation, SO
disturbing to the Western demo-
cracies, exceedingly sound. He
insists "when Russia is doing
what is right, as she did in Spain
and in Munich she deserves ap-
piause. When she does what we
consider wrong she deserves con-
demnation. Above all he de-
plores the categorical attitude
which SO many assume when
confronted by this problem and
he concludes with this thought
ful appreciation of a perilous
situation. 'It would be hard to
say which class of well-mean-
ing Americans is more danger
Gus to the future peace of the
world, the Red-baiters or the
doughty champions of the Soviet
Union" This is a sentiment to
which those who are conversant
with the situation will give
prayerful assent.

Capitalism Versus
The Democracies

In his thought-provoking book
entitled by Vote of the People.
Willis j. Ballinger, who served
Tor years as highly valued ad-
wiser to the Federal Trade Com
mission, describes the long and
as yet indecisive struggles that
have been waged for so many
centuries between capitalism and
the democracies.
He Is explicit in his analysis OF
American capitalism, q vital
problem which should no longer
be treated by generalities more
or less glittering, and he
thinks, always deceptive and
misleading. His is thesis that
viii provoke discussion and may
become an issue at the polls
when the next spending pro-
gram Is launched.

The atom. naturally, was not

excellent sy-to-understand ac-

one in Almighty Atom" by John

Cities With Only

One of the developments Mr..
Ernst heartily dislikes es-mergers
leaving large cities with only one

startle many of our journalistic
pioneers were they alive today to
see it. This point can be read be-

Journalistic
Experiences
AT this point, while on the sub
ject of biography and autobiog-
raphy, special note must be made
of all those living journalists who
have made books during the past
year out of their own experiences
and the views they have shaped
on the basis of those experiences.
These books are in a class by
themselves. Most of them have
rather poetic titles, and they are
all solemn-Some with hope, some
with pessimism- about the future
of the world. They really do not
answer anything, but If one has
the time to spare for them, one
could do lot worse than read
the following: .T'his House
Against This House. by Vincent
Sheehan; "The Education of a
Correspondent" by Herbert L.
Matthews; "Reconquest: It's Re-
suits and Responsibilities by
Hallett Abend; "The Great Chal-
lenge,' by Louis Fischer; mot So
Wild Dream" by Eric Sevareid;
While Time Remains" by Le-
land Stowe, and "Our Share of
Night" by Drew Middleton.
Then there is that other group
of journalists whose books this
year have been confined to prob
lens somewhat smaller than the
overall problem of the world.
Free from photographed mu-
sings, these involve a large ele-
ment of controversy, so that the
reader, If he agrees, is likely to
agree militantly, whereas If he
disagrees. he may do so fiereely
enough to want to horsewhip the
author. A notable example is
Ralph Ingersoll's lively top Sc
cret, Willingly or unwittingly a
boon to Anglophobes. Another is
Thunder Out of China" by The
odore III. White and Annalee
Jacoby, an impressive critioue of
Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomin-
tang and American policy. Other
controversial titles include
Wrath in Burma" by Fred Eld-
ridge and To Whom Palestine?,"
by Frank Gervasi.

Raw Material
For Specialists

Actually, in q world full of
highly articulate but not neces-
sarily sound writer's and thinkers,
journalists--as far as style and
subject matter are concerned
do not need to feel, as so few of
them really seem to do, any great
sense Of inferiority. They may
write in haste and are often far
from profound, but still, not in
frequently, their GRANDCHILDREN
are noteworthy either as indis-
pensable raw material for spe-
cialists or as contributions dis
tinguished enough in themselves
to be much better than mere
flashes in the publishing pan.
During the past year, not many
books were written about journal
Ism per se,. but dozens were writ
ten by journalists about them
selves andfor their times. The
output as q whole was neither all
good nor all bad. Some of it was
sheer waste, some of it was mere
" $3.50, and some of ito para
phrase the claim of a certain
brew--was of a type that could
hold its head high in any COM
pany. It is with the latter that
