is Thunder Out of China" by
Theodore H. White and Annalee
Jacoby, who describe the Chang
Kai-shek regime as dictatorial
beyond the understanding of
most Americans.
In 1.-TWO Worlds" William B.
Ziff takes as his premise that the
United Nations is impotent and
that if there is to be global
organization it must be a world
state. He prophesies that Russia
will start a war somewhere,
against some one.
Victor Kravchenko, the official
of the Soviet Purchasing Com
mission who created sensation
in 1914 when he resigned and
broke all connection with the
Soviet Government. presents in
II Chose Freedom" an authentic
account of Russias misery under
the Communists and a renewed
disavowal of Stain and his works.
He provides detailed corro-
boration from the inside of Soviet
regime for many of the some
times incredible charges of So
Wet abuses of Russian citizens,
and names, dates and places with
an amazing consistency for a
period of more than 20 years.
His recantation is also an ampli-
fication of his earlier charge that
Russia is implacably hostile to
American institutions.
Harrison Salisbury. former
chief of the United Press bureau
in Moscow, strikes new note in
Russia on the Way" with the
prediction that there will be no
war between Russia and the
United States.
Hamilton Fish calls for Ma
ton wide nonpartisan anti-Com-
munist organization to fight COM
munism by education in THE
Challenge of World Commu-
nism," which covers much the
same ground as the Ziff and Bull
lit books.

Peace and the Atom Bomb

The menace of the atom bomb
underlies most if not all of the
books listed above and gives ur-
gency to the conditions they ex-
pose. A number, however. deal
strictly with The Bomb" and
its implications for peace.
Whittlesey House has COM
piled the warnings of famous
scientists in "One World or
None" Albert Einstein, Arthur
H. Compton, Hans Bethe, Irving
Langmuir, Harlow Shapley, Har-
old Urey and Nils Bohr are
frankly worried over the forces
of evil let loose.
The contention of Harrison
Brown in his Must Destruction
Be Our Destiny?" is that the only
alternative to world destruction
lies in world government, with
control of atomic energy. E. L.
Woodward comes to much the
same conclusion in Some Po-
litical Consequences of the
Atomic Bomb" Virgil Jordan,
president of the National Indus
trial Conference Board, in
Manifesto by the Atomic Age"
holds that the atomic age can be
a golden one.

= - transition from war and
Its many restraints on free ex-
preston to peace and its frank
sometimes extremely provocative
comment on matters previously
taboo.
It has been a year of weighty
problems in world affairs, and
this ponderosity has been reflect
ed in many books coming forth
from diverse authors on peace,
the United Nations, Russia, and
the atomic bomb.
The overwhelming number
and some of the best-have been
those dealing with actual war
time operations and the diplo-
matte backwashes that went with
them. The middle and later
months of the year saw grow
ing number of volumes dealing
with peace and how to preserve
it. The number of now it can be
told" books also is growing.
Some disquisitions on peace
display much superficial think
ing and rank prejudice, although
there is evidence of deep and
widespread concern on this most
pressing problem.
Peace and Russia
So broad is the subject of peace
that it is impossible for authors
to discuss it apart from its SUBJ
ordinate and qualifying agents.
Some highly qualified writers
and some not so qualified-have
taken up their pens on the sub
ject. The list includes Sumner
Welles, Henry A. Wallace, Will
liam c. Bullitt, Aldous Huxley,
Leland Stowe and Louis Fischer.
In "Where Are We Heading?'
Mr.. Welles does not answer the
question in his title, but the con-
dition of the world as he finds it
after surveying every political re-
gion in the world is indeed sorry.
The responsibility he divides be-
tween the United States and
Russia, and laments the passing
of President Roosevelt and his
policies which, Mr. Welles be-
lieves, would have checked Rus
sian expansionism.
Mr.. Wallace was the author OF
two books during the year.
Soviet Asia Mission" in which
he reports on 12,00O-mile jour
ney he took as Vice President in
1914 at Mr.. Roosevelt's request,
and The Fight for Peace" a
little pamphlet which reprints
the documents involved in his
custer as Secretary of Commerce.
The former is largely nonpolitical
except as it gives statesmen a
guide to the immense industrial
and agricultural potentialities
of Siberia. His pamphlet pledges
him to a continued fight for peace
as he sees 1t.
Mr.. Bullitt again takes his
stand firm against Russia posi-
ton in THE Great Globe It
SELF" and views with much
alarm, suggesting that to save
peace, we must maintain a
policy of firm opposition to fur
ther Soviet expansion, act against
Soviet infiltration, propaganda
and pressure, and form a demo-
cratic federation in Europe. In
contrast to Mr.. Welles he holds
that American foreign policy be-
came bankrupt under President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Huxley's contribution is
Science, Liberty and Peace" an
extremely thoughtful analysis of
the centralized power under
which we live and an urgent plea
for decentralization for peace.
Mr.. Stowe in While Time Re-
mains" argues for the world
state with the United States
as the leader.
Mr.. Fischer, too, concludes in
'"The Great Challenge" that there
must be a world government, but
argues that there can be no
such thing because of imperial
ism, chiefly by Russia. whose chief
aim has been to acquire land.

Personal Experiences
One of the most readable
groups of war books, as a whole.
are the personal experience tales.
For the narrowing experiences
of a war correspondent who para
chuted from a wrecked bomber
over Germany, it is parachute
to Berlin" by Lowell Bennett. He
was captured and wound up in a
POW camp. He describes the
effect of area bombing on Ger
man cities.
One Of the best stories of naval
air fighting in the Pacific,
5000 Miles Toward Tokyo" was
written by Green Peyton, an air
combat intelligence officer on the
eve Suwanee. He pays part of
the credit due naval aviation for
its part in the Pacific war.
Comdr. Edward Ellsberg tells
in Under the Red Sea Sun" a
gripping tale of the restoration
of the Eritrean port of Massawa
against terrific odds, and Drew
Middleton's "Our Share of Night"
is the personal narrative of a
former Associated Press and New
York Times reporter.
John Dos Passos spent a year
in the Pacific and Europe, and in
Tour of Duty gives full en-
phasis to failures as well as
miraculous feats. He records the
destruction-physical and human
which accompanied the wars
on both sides of the world.
The story of Buchenwald, the
Nazi concentration camp, is told
in "The Dungeon Democracy"
by Christopher Burney and Saul
K. Padover writes in Experiment
in Germany of an OSS teams
trip into Germany to explore the
enemy's state of mind.
Emily Hahn adds love interest
to this category with her Hong
Kong Holiday"
Origins of the War
Sigmund Neumann analyzes
the origins of both World Wars in
THE Future in Perspective" and
holds that Europe's natural con-
dition is for each nation to regard
every other in a warlike manner.
Related to this section is
"Kaputt," by Curzio Malaparte,
which Is the diary of former
Fascist journalist.

World Economics
One of the still unsettled ques-
tions of the postwar world is the
direction foreign trade will take
after relief needs cease. This is
particularly true with respect to
international loans and American
financial support for war-strick-
en- nations.
This element is dealt with at
some length by Norman Bu-
chanan in international Invest
ment and Domestic Welfare" He
warns against repeating the de-
bacle of defaults and regulations
which followed the splurge OF
foreign lending which followed
World War I.
In Rival Partners" Keith
Hutchinson discusses whether the
United States and Britain will
cooperate in establishing liberal
trade policies or enter period
Of blind rivalry, and in World
Politics Faces World Economies
Harold D. Lasswell compares
Russian and American economic
policies.

George S. Patton, jr., about whom
two readable books have been

William Bancroft Mellor gives

from his youth in California
through v. M. T.. West Point and
his Army career.

Pacific Operations
Ernie Pyle concluded his series
of great war books with Last
Chapter" telling the story of the
Pacific war as he had done earlier
the story of the European and
North African campaigns. He was
struck by the idyllic surround
ings - which carried their own
hardships-in which American
forces were fighting the Pacific
war.
, Fletcher Pratt's Night Work"
was the story of Task Force 80,
a cruiser squadron which oper-
ated in the Solomon Islands un-
der Rear Admiral A. S. Merrill.
He shows how we learned to
fight the Japs by outthinking
them in the midst of battle.

To the Editor:

The recent article by guest col
umnist Mike Gold on the neurotic
breeding program inflicted on our
children by screaming neemie
radio programs, is an indication
that the time has come for an or
organized protest against this and
other abuses of the air waves such
as soap operas, cigarette adver~
Using, etc.
Americans should drop the Eel
theron" attitude about m n y
things. 1t is not a case of submit
ting to such insults to our intelli-
eence, or to pay a small license
fee, like the English people do,
and secure acknowledgements
programs without the commercial
blurbs.
While we fondly patted our
pocket books, and thought we were
getting free entertainment, as the
soap operas continued, while there
was no soap to be bought, we now
find that we are really paying
the bill in the increased cost OF
soap and soap powders.
The marketing of FIN radios is

Our democratic government set
free 8OO,0 900 Iittle-fry Nazis. Legi-
timated them and put them back
in the ranks of the masses. Mr.
Hoover comes back with report
saying we must support Germany
and can forgive them, but not the
peoples of the nations of Europe.
The little Nazis that we have
forgiven-they are the real muir

the ones that burned people alive.
They are the one who killed the
little infants. The people of Eu-
