Mr.. VISIONS gift of understand

help free Americans from many an
international blunder. His study of
what Europeans think of us, and
why, should awaken us not merely
to our own very real and sometimes
dangerous shortcomings and suppo-

necessity of dispelling as best we

foreign leaders and others have
about the motives, morals and meth
ods of the people of the United
States.
This is no one-sided business. The
fauts or virtues are not all in one
place or in one tradition. Some
ejudices are as old as the Revo-
lutionary War and some are as
new as the position of world lead
ership today.
In our broader and apprehensively
accepted role, Mr.. Visson finds
Americans and Europeans are in
mortal peril unless they unite in
knowledge, good will and effort to
win the present struggle for man S

and freedom" Mr.. Visson offers

Russian Trade

BROOKS MCCLURE.

Here is a handbook on trade with
Russia equally helpful to American
industry and students of interna-
tional business.
Mrs. Margold, an expert on RUS
sian trade, sees expanded commerce.
with Russia as a brake on periodic
American depression and new
source of income for our industry.
She says the Soviet, country Of
200, 0,000, 900 consumers, needs our
products and can pay for them with
much-needed strategic raw mate
riaS. For these and other reasons,
she urges expanded trade cemented
by an American loan to Moscow.
Written in laymen's terms, the
book tells businessmen all they want
to know about trade with Russia.
Every step from initial contact to
final agreement is covered, with de-
tailed discussion of Soviet trade
regulations, taxes and methods Of
negotiation. In addition. a history
is given on RusSia'S trade relations
with the major powers.
If Mrs. Margold. who is with the
Commerce Department. seems un-
realistic about the political compli-
cations of trade with Russia now,
this in no way detracts from her

Control of u. S.

THE EUROPEAN RECOVERY

BY Seymour Harris. fHarUard

Reviewed by
CHALMERS M. ROBERTS.

CHALMERS M. ROBERTS.
This well-documented book should
become the layman's guide to the
European Recovery Program. 1t is
both a dispassionate and an opin-
donated account of the who, what,
when, where and why of ERP and
ECA, the latter the administering
agency. Mr.. Harris, a Harvard
University economic professor, is
definitely pro-Marshall Plan but he
has some serious worries over our
failure so far to control our own
economy to handle our economic
relations with the ERP nations in
the way he considers necessary for
the plans success.
The book puts the Marshall Plan
in proper perspective for one thing.
During a 33-year period through
1947 the United States used about
$100, ,000. 100000 of its resources in
transfers abroad, chiefly to Europe,
without return-about 40 per cent
of everything we sold or did for
foreign nations in that time. Yet
these 100000, 100000 amounted to
only about per cent>of our own
national income over those years.
Against this background" Mr..
Harris says, I'VE should consider
the $4,000, 100000 required under
the ERP."
The book has some out of date
material since it was first prepared
last April but there is a postscript
on ERP's first six months which
brings it up to election day. In
this postscript Mr.. Harris puts the
finger on what he calls the most
lperplexing unknown" in ERP's out
come-the course of imitation both
in Europe and the United States.
He does not say so but the con-
clusion is obvious that the actions
of the Eighty-f1rst Congress on this
subject at home will play a vital
part in the success or failure of this
vast American attempt to put
Europe on its economic feet once
again.

describes in his first novel the way
some Negro farmers in the Brazos
country of that State wrest living
out of soil that is not too friendly.
The best farms were along the
Brazos and Navasota Rivers; there
cotton and corn grew best. But it
was a constant struggle against
flooding rivers or choking dust or
wild grass that strangled the cotton.
Most of the Negroes were tenant
farmers. But some, like Cleveland

own places and were able to borrow
at the bank against their crops.

Ruby Lee, we're farming place for

and when Cleveland got drunk in

in Jail, things got worse-for while.
