these, he was mistaken, nays DR..
Beard. English common Law Vas sub
1ect to review by courts Of equity and
equity law took due recognition of
women's rights. 1t permitted women,
married or single, to own, manage
and bequeath property independ-
emily. Sir William ignored this fact,
which he unquestionahly knew, be-
cause, as DR.. Beard puts it, he had
an "animus" against equity juris-
prudence.
Having disposed thus of the legal
basis Of women's alleged subtection,
IN modern times, DR.. Beard then
examines the whole matter, from
the dawn Of history on. She finds
that women have always been able
to assert themselves when they
chose to do so. Actually, they have
ruled huge areas of the earth for
long periods. They originated the
arts Of civilization--the preparation
of food, clothing and shelter. They
kept the fine arts alive In dark years
OF history, sheltering and inspiring
the artists. They had the right to
work and belong to the medieval
guilds on the same terms as men.
They engaged in business, they tray-
eled freely, they were active in re-
hgion-all this in the pre-Black-
stonian era. Where, then, is the
evidence of "subjection"? DR.. Beard
says she cannot find 1t.
She observes, however, that, in the
centuries when the aristocracy pro-
vided the ruling class, the women Of
aristocratic origin exercised their
authority as members Of families.
When aristocracy began to decay as
a system, and the concept Of gentil-
ity took the place of the concept OF
high birth, women sank accordingly.
The genteel woman might not do
the hearty things which the aristo-
crat took as a matter of course.
DR.. Boards treatment seems to me
somewhat sweeping. Far be it from
me to take issue with her facts. I
will content myself merely with re-
peating what she herself says-that,
in the enormous volume of histori-
cal writing, it is possible to find
support for almost any view Of al
most any question.

Rulers Morninq
By Joseph G. Hitrec.

Joseph G. Hitrec is a Yugoslayiau
who has been living for a number
OF years In India. He says that
in his writing about that country's
he hopes to bring E. M. Forster's
Passage to India" 20 years for
ward. The present volume Is a COL
lection Of short stories all dealing
with current Indian problems.
In general, one can say that the
stories which have to do with Eng
lish characters are designed to show
that the foreign rulers unhappily
know that their dominion is coming
to an end. Neurotic and worried
English types are repeated in a
number of the selections. The
treatment of the natives is some
what more varied but in the main
is pessimistic. Suffering, poverty,
ignorance and warped resentment
against the rulers are depicted. and
the mixed marriage, with its legacy
OF shame for the offspring, is sew
eral times used as a subject.
The best story in the collection,
I thought, is the one called "Por-
trait" which simply tells the his
tory Of stout-hearted and often
married old Irishwoman living In
the northern mountains. It is q
character study altogether and uses
the Indian scene merely as back
ground-its Mrs. Clayton might be
encountered anywhere. whether
the superiority Of this piece de-
rives from the fact that, as story
character Is always su-
perior to sociology or not, will
not say. But I recall that / read

nomic development of Palestine. In

tremely well by comparison with

AS for the Arab arguments that
Palestine historically is part Of the
Arab world and that establishment
OF an independent Jewish state in
that area would be merely the be-
ginning Of spread Of their DOM

Middle East, he dismisses these
rather lightly.
The ultimate just answer to all
this is not likely to be found so
simply defined. For the side which

has presented a lucid and compact

Thus says Morris Ernst, eminent
New York attorney, examining the
present conditions OF the means Of
controversy in our own state. Those
means, as OF the moment, are the
press, the radio and the movies
In all three fields, Mr.. Ernst finds
there is an alarming tendency

And Capitalization Of ownership, he
adds. will certainly mean con-
troversy's end in time.
He surveys the tendency in the
press toward chains and mass pro-
duction The number of newspapers
is dwindling, he observes, and there
Is an unhealthy increase In the
number Of towns which have only a
single paper, or two papers under
one owner. Similarly, there is an
all too small number OF radio net
works. And as for the movies, the
few great producing companies ex-
ercise a virtual dictatorship over
the theaters Of the entire Nation.
All this tends toward the control
of all the effective organs Of con-
troversy by a very small group of
individuals.
The remedy, as Mr.. Ernst sees 1t,
is legislation restraining chains and
combines. The aim Of the legisla-
tion should not be Government
control but increasingly wide private
control. He offers tentative pro-
gram.
] His book is a mine of factual
information but is written with a
brisk popular style which makes
it highly readable. It's subject mat
ter certainly ought to concern every
one and its argument is soundly

One gloomy, gray evening in a

they seem to be the only people in

One OF the more fantastic things

up the ephemeral quality Of the
