A Friendly Plea for
Sound Reasoning
With John Bull
OF TRUE EXPERIENCE
BY Sir Gerald Campbell. (Dodd,
Mead G. Co.: $780,
GAENETT D. HORNER.

Reviewed Dy
GARNETT D. HORNER.
Reating this book is like sitting
down to a leisurely, rambling con-
versation with witty Britisher.
Out of his true experience" much
of it in the United States, Sir Ger
aid Campbell enlivens with pointed
anecdotes his plea for sound UNDER
standing between America and Brit
ain.
Sir Gerald had a rich experience
as a British consular officer in
South America, Africa, Italy and
for a quarter century in the United
States. He was in Washington in
1941-45. part of the time in the
frustrating job Of head OF the Brit
ish Information Services here and
then as a special assistant to the
British Ambassador.
He frankly admits failure to or
ganize the information services as
he would have liked. The simple
faith of a child was misplaced"
he writes, "and, for reasons upon
which I will not dwell, experienced
10 wretched months of trying to
make bricks without much straw"
Much of his book is simply "rum-
maging in the attic of my mind"
as Sir Gerald puts it, and this
makes enjoyable reading.
Sir Gerald sums up about all
that it is necessary to remember
about the League of Nations by
writing that ''it was kind Of shy
of opening its mouth because it
had no teeth"
During his long stay in this coun-
try, Sir Gerald became widely known
as a public speaker. From that
experience, he has some uncom-
forting words for speech-makers:
"It is not freedom of speech which
will make the world go straighter,
but freedom from speech" And as
for one who reads his speech-"the
more he pores, the more he bores."

A Couple of Insiders Present
Viewpoints on Communism

John H. CLINE.

Earl Browder, Kansas-born for.
ner head Of the American Com
munists, opens this book with the
following declaration: "Let me make
it explicitly clear to my readers that
I am examining all questions from
the standpoint Of American national
interests"
From that vantage point he ar
rives at several basic conclusions.
We should abandon any preference
for the British, as they are not our
Ireal friends. Britain is merely driv-
ling a wedge between the United
States and the Soviet Union. Yet
the national interests, indeed, the
very future of the United States, lie
on the side of close friendship with
Russia.
Nowhere in this book will the
reader find any criticism of the
Soviet Union. Messrs. Stain, Molo-
tov and company are inspired by the
highest motives and the best inten-
tions. To be sure, there are times
when their patience is worn bit
thin by our obtuseness, but they are

THIS IS MY STORY
BY Louis Francis Budenz.

Reviewed by
ROBERT K. WALSH.

/ Louis Budenz, whose position as
managing editor Of the Daily Work
er identified him in the public mind
as a key figure In the American
Communist movement, made news
when he renounced communism and
returned, after lapse of many
years, to Catholicism. The public
has been waiting for this book, for
it comes from one who seemingly
! has turned into a leading crusader
against the cause that once at
tracted him.
! AS now-it be-told book,
This Is My Story" falls short of
expectations. Though timely today
| it would have been more startling
but perhaps not so popular-in 1s45.
Mr.. Budenz, who renounced COM
munism and all its conspiracies and
mental concentration camps is
no longer personally stranger. His
testimony before congressional COM
mittees and his public utterances
in the past few months touched
most of the high points and de-
pressions covered in this autobi-
ography.
Revelations, however. are not
lacking. He gives additional evi-
dence in the Trotsky assassination,
the activities of Gerhard Eisler and
the serio-comic manner in which
foreign agents and local comrades
foated from restaurant to restaur-
ant in New York meetings to dodge
undercover charges.
Mr.. Budenz also may diSappoint
seekers for more docum en- e d
charges, correct names and precise
addresses at home and abroad. He
explains that the nature of the
Communist cell and straight jacket
organization prevented even him,
as a member of the national COM.
mittee, from knowing too much or
too many. And he adds that he
withholds some names because of
charitable determination to hate
the evil but not the individual.
The Left and Right.
But the book is no mere polemic
or unter-propaganda. 1t is fund
amentally the public confession of
modern follower of st. Augustine"
who has gone back to the faith
of his fathers, and of an American
who has awakened to the principles
of the founding fathers. He de-
clares that he learned the hard
way that communism and Aneri-
canism and communism and Ca
tholicisrn cannot be reconciled.
Mr.. Budenz' book offers credible
explanation for his acceptance of
communism despite earlier smear
ing he took from Communists. This
may not altogether solve the n1ys-
terry of why he stayed 10 years. in
the operations and delusions of a
party he knew to be subversive.
But even at this late date not all
Americans can afford to cast the
first stone.
AS a writer, Mr.. Budenz naturally
shows professional skill. He also
demonstrates that by nature he
will never be a reactionary or an
off stage observer. The book is
rewarding but not always easy or
comfortable reading. Whatever its
shortcomings or its profundities, it
drives home the reminder that
eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty for a man as well as a nation.
