Palestine and Near East

Outside the American Russian

the other major topic during the
past year has been Palestine and
the Near East, with seven assorted
volumes worthy of attention.
On the broad subject of this re-
gion. Ephriam A. Speiser, arche-
ologist and professor of Semitics at
the University of Pennsylvania, gives
in "The United States and the Near

Books on Foreign Affairs

American Russian cooperation in
economics, since Russia is the one
country which can absorb huge
quantities of American products
and has the economy to deal with
the United States.
Russia Offers Promise
In Writer'S View
On the moderate left is Vera
Micheles Deans Russia: Menace
or Promise" in which this promi-
nent writer for the Foreign Policy
Association holds that Russia pre-
sents mostly promise. She believes
the United States, above all other
nations, will assume a position of
world leadership, but collaterally
thinks Russia will ultimately reach
high spiritual, political and material
progress.
From Earl Browder, for Is years
general secretary of the Communist
Party in the United States, one
would expect some kind of an
apology for Soviet Russia, and War
or Peace With Russia" is pretty
much that, with a line somewhere
near Mrs. Deans, but leaning more
toward Moscow. He argues for
American advancement of democ-
racy within the framework of the
United Nations, and contends that
the United States needs Soviet CO.
operation more than Russia needs
ours, on the theory (concurred in
by Mr. Snow that this country
must have markets to absorb our
goods and Russia is the only nation
able to fill this need.
Footnotes on Affairs
By Budenz and Deane
With these six books as the main
body to be read as supplements to
the Byrnes book, two others may be
perused as footnotes in this course
for comprehension of world affairs.
1947. These are Louis Francis Bu-
denz's This Is My Story" personal
story of remuneration of commun-
ism, which also exposes the sub
Servience of American communism
to Russian foreign policy, and John
r. Deane's The Strange Alliance -
narration of the difficulty of get
ting along with the Russians in
wartime. Mr. (ex-Maj. Gen. Deane)
beats the drums for 'get-tough-

while David J. Dallin and Boris r.

For the serious student of world
affairs three other books, dealing
with foreign policy as technical
rather than general subject, will be
useful. The United States in
World Affairs" 1945-1947, is John c.
Campbell's creditable revival of an
old standard series which attempts
to do the first job of writing history,
taking greater perspective than is
provided in the periodical press and
most popular books.
'"The Record of American Diplo-
macy" is collection of documents
and readings edited by DR.. Ruhl j.
Bartlett, covering American foreign
affairs from Colonial days to the
present. Lord Hankey deals with
Diplomacy by Conference" a SUBJ
ject which he is qualified to discuss
by 35 years in British national and
