than a century of American farm
history. AS Mr.. Lord puts it, agri-
culture has always come first with
the Wallaces of Iowa, land it is
primarily as men of the earth that
they have. served unofficially and
officially in the councils of IL ad-
ministrations."
It is not hard to understand,
therefore, why this book, besides
being the biography of three de-
cidedly noteworthy and interesting
Americans, is also the biography Of
agriculture in the United States.
Here we have the story not merely
of the Wallaces, of their dis
tinguished public service, of their
successful magazine, of their famous
hybrid corn, but the story of farm
ing in this country as well-the
story of the land itself. 1t is at once
fascinating and instructive story
story of revolution by mechanical
ton and of all the tragedies and
triumphs that have sprung from the
soil of abundant America over the
long decades. Mr.. Lord has told it
exceedingly well. The result merits
widespread attention, even among
those who have no love for the nom
conformist Henry A.
Evening star., 1947-03-23

as Mr.. Browder sees it, President
Truman, former Secretary of State
Byrnes and others in the admins
tration are scrapping the strong
foundations of Soviet American
friendship which had been laid in
far-sighted fashion by Mr.. Roose-
ve,t. Until this trend is reversed
there can be little hope for a better
future.
Is This More Propaganda?
The question which comes to mind
is whether these are Mr.. Browder's
honest opinions or whether the book
lis merely another propaganda docu-
ment. Is Mr.. Browder, in 1947, to
pe believed or not? Perhaps the
answer may best be found in turn
ing back to some Of the things Mr..
Browder has said before. In 1910,
for instance, before the German
attack on Russia, he said that
neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor the late
Wendell Willkie (also praised in
this book was worthy of the
slightest confidence" Both men, he
continued, "are pledged to spend the
life blood of American youth and
the sweat of American labor for the
aggrandizement of Wall Streets
profits and imperial world power" "
THAT was party line propaganda.
There is no reason to suppose that
the seeming change Of mind record
ed in this book is anything different.

Andy Johnson as
Boyhood Friend
Recalled Him
STORM CENTER, A NOVEL
ABOUT ANDY JOHNSON

lOIOfIM CcIS EN-, n NOVEL
ABOUT ANDY JOHNSON
BY J. Walker McSpadden. (Dodd
Mead G. Co.; $3)
Undoubtedly the most maligneo
and misunderstood of all our Pres
idents was Andrew Johnson.
1t was his fate to step into the
White House when Lincoln was as
sassinated. johnson thus fell heil
to all the woes clustered in the
wake of the war The most sinister
figures in politics, who had had not
dared attack Lincoln so openly, set
out to destroy the new President
the moment he took Office. The
rugged Tennessean was impeached
and won acquittal in the Senate by
a single vote.
No other President, including Lin
coin, had come up a harder way
johnson came to Tennessee as a
runaway tailor's apprentice from
North Carolina. He did not learn
to read and write fully until after
he was married, when his teen-age
wife taught him.
Mr.. McSpadden lived as a boy
in Greeneville, the East Tennessee
town where Andy Johnson lived
throughout his public career. The
narrator of this novel is cast as
Johnson's boyhood friend and White
House secretary, who is supposed to
have told his story in an old manu-
script which his grandson finally
feels justified in publishing.
There are some inaccuracies, such
as when the fight in Congress dur
ing the Polk adminintration, circa
1348, over Oregon is described as
a debate over statehood. The issue
then was territorial status. For
years Oregon's boundaries had been
a matter of sharp dispute with
England. oregon did not become a
State until 1859.
In the main, however, the his
torical background is accurate. Mr
McSpadden has written books on
art, music and travel. AS a novel
ist he is not entirely successful
There is tendency to discursive-
ness, especially in the early portions
of the book. Most of it is interest
ing, though, and the scenes sur
rounding The Presidents impeach-
ment are particularly vivid.-C. B. J,

Roosevelt running the war as a
private affair of the White House,
Mrs. Roosevelt, Prime Minister

Gaule, King Peter of Yugoslavia
and many others.
Mrs. Lorbard's most effective in
dignation is reserved for our treat
ment of Poland-a "sellout" of that
country to the Russians is the way
she refers to it.
The climax came when Premier
Mikola iczyk of the Polish govern
ment in exile went to Moscow in
August, 1914 Mrs. Lombard says
he first had visited Mr.. Roosevelt
at the Presidents invitation and
had been advised to see the Rus
slams.
In Moscow he was directed to sign
away Polish land up to the Curzon
line. When he objected Mrs. Lom-
bard says, he was told by Mr.. Moio-
tov that Franklin Roosevelt had
acquiesced in this at Teheran.

Unbelieving, Mr.. Mikolajczyk ca

more q natural result that the

reasons, the other executives who
have left the most highly colored

Has Issue Changed
Since Howard Fast
First Wrote OF It?
THE CHILDREN

! i Sx14LA<4NA4N
BY Howard Fast. fDueH, Sloan &
Pearce, S250j
Mr.. Fast has won a deserved rep
utation as one of Americas finest
writers of historical novels. Books
like THE Unvanquished,' Free
dom Road" and The American
threw new light on personalities
that loom large in the growth OF
the republic.
THE Children" was written Il
years ago and apparently was Mr.
Fasts first published story. 1t ap-
peared in Story Magazine and now
comes out in book form for the
first time.
This short novel tells a tragic
story of some children in a slum
on New York's East Side. They live
| in utter squalor. Their talk is
largely filth. They mingle and play
in an atmosphere of race hatred;
the Irish, the Jews, the Italians and
the Negroes despise one another,
despite their daily association and
the fact that their parents seem
to get along pretty well. The story
ends in double tragedy. A Negro
boy is lynched by his playmates.
A retarded white boy falls of a
roof and is killed.
Mr.. Fast indicates that this novel
is at least partly photographed.
He says in his foreword that he
wrote it "% out of bitterness
and hate for what our society does
to children T." 1t seems obvi-
GUS that he wrote it in that spirit.
and I do not for a moment doubt
that earnestness and sincerity also
went into it. I can only add, how
ever, that I greatly doubt that "The
Children" will add anything to Mr..
Fast's literary renown.
The impression I got was that
Mr.. Fast was trying to horrify his
readers at any cost. Where a mere
description of how these children
lived might have been horrifying
enough. the overemphasis of con-
trived violence actually weakens the
theme. The lynching. scene is
feebly motivated, anything but con-
yincing. And the other death seems
to have been thrown in simply to
make sure the tale was macabre
enough.
Again quoting from the foreword,
MIR. Fast tells of the stir the manu-
script made in the Offices of Story
Magazine. Undoubtedly it did. The
little" magazines, particularly in
the 3Os, delighted in such a story
1t was proletarian, a good Marxist
exhibit, however the author may
have felt about the German dia-
lectician. Those publications were
eager to print anything illuminat-
ing the terrors of fascism in Italy
Spain or California. but never
wanted a line about the equally op-
pressive ways of militant commu-
nism.
Mr.. Fast expresses doubt that the
condition of racism he described
mas improved in the years since he
wrote "The Children" Perhaps
not. On the other hand, perhaps
| it never was as bad as he remem-
bers it. Some of us even have OBJ
served that most children, II lett
alone, do not care a lot about the
race or color or religion of their
nlayn,ateS &C. b. y.
