ences with the New Deal and why
ne thinks it failed. Tugwell had
been Undersecretary of Agriculture
and resettlement administrator dur
ing the first years of the Roosevelt
administration.
"If, as we look back" Tugwell
says, what was done seems made
quate, qualified everywhere, incom-
plete and half-hearted-all that was
because, although our national house
was in ruins, we were not yet ready
for a new one. The patches in the
old walls were extensive and un-
slightly; we were nevertheless not
yet ready to strengthen the foun-
dations.
A Patchwork Pattern.
Patching was all New Dealers
knew how to door, at any rate,
all their enemies, as they regained
their strength, would let them do
Tugwell's New Deal in Puerto
Rico met with this same fate. His
book tells about it. This is why it
will be of considerable interest to
those who criticized him and his
ideas as Governor. The former
Governor criticizes his Puerto Rican
collaborators. Many of them he
calls incompetent and mediocre pub
lie servants.
The book is a defense of Tug
well and his ideas by Tugwel
himself. 1t is a rather long, detailed
chronological account of what hap
pened during his five war years in
Puerto Rico, running to 704 pages.
1t lacks background on many situa-
tions and people described by the
author, and why many things hap
pened to Tugwell. 1t is a book
for Puerto Ricans and Americans
who have thorough knowledge of
the island, its politicians and its
problems.
Refuting Socialism Charge.
Tugwell's administration in Puerto
Rico was many times described BY
his critics in Congress as "socialis-
tic" and against the American way
of life. To them Tugwell says:
"We were trying to find reserves
of generosity and decency we be-
lieved to exist in human nature. II
might be socialism-what we were
trying to do-but 1t was at least a
practical attempt to meet a des-
perate situation"
"A large majority of Puerto Ricans
agreed with Tugwell on this when
they voted Luis Munoz Marin, the
Governors ally, into power by an
overwhelming majority in 1914
Tugwell and his aides believed that
although many measures and pro-
grams might seem extremely alien
in the United States they fit per-
fectly within the social and eco
nomic needs of the Puerto Ricar
people - that socialism in Puerto
Rico was perfectly at home.
Many Puerto Ricans who hac
heard about 'the striken land" ex-
pected something more-at least 9
substantial contribution to a better
understanding of Puerto Rico, its
people and their problems by Amer
lea. Tugwell concentrated on his
defense, ignoring the fundamentals
of the case of Puerto Rico.

He blames colonialism for GER
tain strange behavior of many
Puerto Ricans in public life. Why?
He does not say. Tugwell does not
attempt to analyze the Puerto Rican
problems in the light of the par

Kenneth Roberts Again Blends
History, Romance, Adventure
LYDIA BAILEY.
By Kenneth Roberts. Double
day: So.

The lively opening years of the
18th century provide Kenneth
Roberts with the material for his
new historical novel. And the
formula which the novel follows Is
the one which Mr.. Roberts has used
so many times before so successfully
, very solid history, very fortnight
characterization and vigorous style.
He is probably the best writer living
for this kind of thing.
Three seemingly little-related his
torical episodes provide the thread
on which his story hangs. They are
the execution in New England of
the alien and sedition laws, the
French reconquest of Haiti from
the revolted Negro slaves, and the
William Eaton expedition against
the Tripolitan pirates.
A young American, originally op-
posed to the American Revolution,
espouses the cause of a victim of
the repressive Adams statutes in
Boston court, finds himself involved
in love affair with a lady's por-
trait, which in turn involves him in
French spoliation claims, follows
the double interest to Haiti, marries
the lady, sees the French reconquest
both from the vantage points of
Voodoo chieftain and a French gen.
eral, embarks for the Mediterranean
and is taken prisoner together with
his lovely wife by the pirates. is en-
slaved by the Bashaw, and SO on
through the Eaton expedition.
Eschewing both derring-do and
academic exhibits Of historical
knowledge, Mr.. Roberts makes
very nice, if somewhat thick book
of it.
It seems to me that the historians
as we'll as the other historical
novelists might very we'll learn
something from his methods. He
surpasses them both in interest.
His secret seems to be- that, as a
novelist, he knows how to write and,
as a historian, he feels vivid in
terest in his material. There is
nothing perfunctory or routine about
his work. He believes it. I don't
know of a better rule for making
other people believe it too.

Some Hoir-Roising
Escapes From
A Slave Trader
THE ANGELIC
AVENGERS

/
By Pierre Andreze1. (Ran-
dom House; S3.)
The present interest attaching to
this novel derives from the fact that,
when it was published in Denmark
during the German occupation, it
passed among the Danes as a satire
of German methods. Without that
connotation, it is doubtful that many
Americans would find it interesting
for it's high-f1oWn and old-fashioned
manner is tiresome.
1t is tale of two lovely young
English women who fall into the
hands of white slave trader and
go through a series of hair raising
escapes from murder when the Grim
inal learns that they are aware of
his purpose. The suspense in this
part of the story is excellent; it
quite triumphs over the hoWery
style. Unfortunately, however, the
book has to be half read before one
gets so far.
Presumably in the satirical appli-
cation, the SLAYER was the Nazis
and the innocent maidens were the
victimized countries. The young
women both got rich, handsome
husbands in the end-if they sym
bolized Uncle Sam, it is not specified

JAMES ALL THE

WORLDS AIRCRAFT,
1945-1946
Compiled and edited by Leon
ard Bridgman. (Macmillan.)
The monumental annual survey of
world wide aeronautical develop
ment is out once more and, by the
word of its editors, it covers "the
aircraft and aero-engines used by
combatant air forces right up to the
end of the war;" The surrender of
Germany and Japan, they point out,
released a vast amount of inforrna-
ton concerning the enemy's equip
ment. This information has been
included in the annual, much of it
published there for the first time.
For the rest of the material, it is
more detailed and extensive than
has been the case in any other issue
of the volume James remains the

A Further Sompling
OF Chino's Writers
Durinq the War
STORIES OF CHINA AT
WAR
Edited by Chi-chen Wang.
(Cokhmbia University Press;
S2.90.)


Following Contemporary Chinese
Stories" which brought to the
American reader examples of mod
ern Chinese short fiction up to the
year 1887, this volume offers a
sampling of what China's writers
were doing in the years between
1889 and 1942. That was, says the
editor. the highest peak of literary
enthusiasm reached during the war
period. Subsequent years took
their toll of the authors, both in
lives and creative energy. But in
that middle time, the patriotism OF
the people was truly expressed by
the literary men. The 16 stories
In this volume are chosen to con-
vey that emotion to American
readers.
1T may be the difficulties of trans
1ation or it may be the remoteness
of our experience of China's war
but the tales seem to fall some
what short of what one would eX-
pect from an inspiration SO pro.
found. They are very much of 9
pattern and they lack life. All o
them deal with the war and none
has more to say than that the simple
Chinese people, goaded sufficiently
fought back even when they hae
nothing but stones to fight with
All the stories are very simple, al
are clear and swift moving. Bu
none of them comes within the
classification of the short-story art
At least, none does in translation
The collection, however, shoule
be of value to Americans who wan
to follow Chinas progress. If, a.
Mr.. Wang says, the tales exemplify
patriotic literature in the wal
period, they are a helpful record.
