Of course, the Rankinesque pro-
posals are ridiculous. The foreign
language press, like the English
language press, reflects all shades
of opinion, ranging anywhere from
lunatic fringe radicalism to luna
tic fringe reaction, from the Daily
Worker to the He'll Hitler German
language press.
The Yiddish, for example, is I'M
matched in it's Americanisrn. 1t
certainly is more nObly American
than the Daily News and many
other EngIish-Ianguage newspap-
ers we can think of. In speaking
of the red menace, Mr.. Rankin
should read articles that have con-
sistently and constantly appeared
in the Yiddish press on this sub
ject. The Yiddish press has fought
against encrOachment by COmmun-
lists, but the distinction is to be
drawn between that section Of the
Yiddish press that helps keep COM
munism out Of Jewish life, and
those who engage in pathological
red-baiting.
The Swedish-language press is
! another example of a noble Amer
icanism press. The Swedish press
is more prone to isolationism than
others, but both isolationism and
so-called inter-nationalism are le-
Ultimate American characteristics,
features of American thought and
politics. But the moral standards
of the Swedish press, and it's in
tegrity, are beyond question. This
is also true of other American
newspapers in Scandinavian ton
CUES.
This cannot, however, be said for
most of the German press in
America, nor for the Ukranian,
Polish or Hungarian. The news
papers in these languages vacillate
between two extremes, communist
and fascist, with only rare excep-
lions. The German language press
for the most part, has played a
subversive role in the United
States, melting one section of the

Understanding
Red Russia S
State Of Mind
STAIN MUST HAVE PEACE
BY Edgar Snow. fRandons House
$780,
Reviewed by
GARNETT D. HORNER

| To understand why Russia acts
the way she does, 1t is necessary to
TRY to learn something about the
Russian state Of mind-to try to see
Russians as they see themselves and
ourselves as they see us. This book
| is designed to help Americans do
that.
Edgar Snow Is a distinguished
correspondent who has spent con-
siderable time in Russia. He in
ldulges In some highly provocative
satire in presenting the Russian
point Of view.
Mr.. Snow reminds us that Rus
sian thinking is colored by the tre-
mendous price paid for victory in
the war. More Russians we're killed
in the Stalingrad campaign alone, !"
he writes, than all Americans
buried by the war" THE Red Army
suffered heavier casualties at Khar-
kov, a battle most Americans never
heard of, than We lost in the entire
war against Japan" If the positions
were reversed, he asks, ''how many
of us would then be worrying about
whether the Germans were being
told how to VOTE" or whether the
Austrians 100000 volunteered for
Der Fuehrer) were losing some of
their factories?"
Remarking that "there is just a
chance that in some things despite
their bad manners and irritating
Marxist fundamentalism-the Rus
slams may even have case" Mr..
Snow urges that 1--WE should examine
all their arguments and expose their
fallacies," not despairing of finding
a compromise.
The book gets its title from
chapter in which Mr.. Snow reviews
Russia's economic and military situ-
alton to conclude that she sis in
capable OF fighting a major aggres-
Sive war against the United States,
whose help she needs for her own
"recuperation.
Essentially the book is an expan-
sion of a series of articles by Mr..
Snow which appeared recently in
the Saturday Evening Post.

Frank Leslie Pens
IA Highly Amusing
'NostoIqic Novel,

THERE'S A SPOT IN MY HEART
/ BY Frank Leslie. hSimon &
Schuster; S2.75.)
The subtitle of this book sets Its
theme and tempo "a nostalgia
novel" It is. you might even guess
from the outer title, story of child
hood and the adults who inhabited
lit.
There was Grandfather, the only
character around the house whom
the author in retrospect admires un-
Ireservedly. He was the mellow,
graying philosopher and man-about
town of the Monahan clan around
the turn of the century. But Grand
father, for reasons OF his own, had
drifted away from the church,
though he was, more hospitable to
priests than the disputatious Uncle
George, who always went to mass
and always catechized visiting
clergy. There was Grandmother,
whose closest companion and rival
for the rights of the kitchen was
McCloskey female). the cook, and
Mother, a widow, no brighter than
she should have been.
Others in Cast.
Don't overlook such casual mem
bers of the cast as McCloskey's S
nephew Michael. who came over
from Ireland and had job in the
fire department until the chief
ordered him to cut off the hose,
land he obeyed literally with one
mighty swing of his fire AK" and
until che backed out of a fourth
story window carrying victim over
his shoulder-but not out Of the
window where he had left the
ladder"
Is there need to add that Mr.
Leslie has written a highly amusing
book? There is, in fact, laugh
concealed somewhere in almost
every paragraph. The narrator is
little hard on some members of his
family his mother in particular,
and whether he sometimes steps
over the boundary of good taste is
something you'll have to decide.
