of the 10Th century. The frame
work of Mr.. Lockridge's Herculean
attempt to "Americanize the
American myth" is a Fourth of
July celebration in Raintree County.
Through the crowding events of the
day-Johnny muses. over the vari-
Gus episodes in his life which have
led him to reafflrm his belief in the
spirituality of man and the con-
tinuity of human experience. His
recollections of himself as youth
aspiring to be the bard of his peo-
pie, as a lover and husband, as
soldier and defeated politician are
the background of a day-long rum
ping debate with three lifelong
cronies who have solidified into
American types: the organ-voiced
Senator of eXpedient morality; the
small promoter become hard
pressed capitalist; the articulate
cynic.
Women in His Life.
AS they argue over the eternal
concerns of man with sex, war and
politics. chivalrous Johnny re-
members the four women who have
contributed to his knowledge that
the secret of life is to be found in
its mystery.
Johnny the American country
boy who withstands the temptations
of the great world,>i is a rather pas
sive hero for such a gargantuan
story; but his reason for being
and it is a good one-is the main-
tenance of his idealism against an
encroaching materialism. His life
is the record of battles with cir
cumstances lost and a war for faith
won. He is weighed down by the
authors relentless probing of the
pagan and Christian spirit in man
and by an unwieldy burden of sig
nificance, symbolism fable and
legend.
Mr.. Lockridge, who was six years
in the composition of "Raintree
County," will certainly be heard
from again, and let us hope that it
will be in more shorn and disci-
plined form. At all events, this is a
remarkable beginning, any way you
look at it.

THE YELLED FOUNTAIN

THE YELLED FOUNTAIN
BY Harry Hervey. (G. P. Put
ndn1's SonS.)
'The Yelled Fountain" by Harry
Hervey, like too many modern novels,
has all the earmarks of a book writ
ten with Hollywood in mind. AS a
novel, it is confused and confusing;
as a movie, it would probably be
entertaining.
The story concerns young Eng
lish composer who, falling in love
with a woman he meets in a dark
railway carriage, pursues her
throughout the novel. When to-
gether, they discuss Indian mysti-
cism; when apart, they contemplate
their hopeless love for each other,
but never manage to get together on
either subject at the same time.
The book is full of dramatic CO.
incidence and romantic settings, just
right for Hollywood, which, by salts
flying sight and ear, can lull the
mind into inactivity But with the
mind in play, the novel leaves much
to be desired. M. B. S.

|UphoIds Early Policy in New World
THE RISE OF THE SPANISH AMERICAN EMPIRE
BY Salvador de Madariaga. macmillan; S5J
Reviewed by FRANCIS P DOUGLAS.

DR.. de Madariaga believes the
Spanish people have been the VIC
tins of false propaganda on the
part of nations who have plundered
them. Spain was hated because she
was envied. Those who waylaid the
Spanish ships carrying bullion from
the new world to the old, who raided
the cities of the Spanish main and
who wrested SPANS possessions
from her salved their consciences
by prating of the naughty and cruel
Spaniards.
The Kings of Spain looked on the
Indians of the Spanish possessions
as their subjects just as much as
were the inhabitants of the king
doms of Spain itself. They were
human souls to be won to salvation
in the church. With the church
came schools, universities, hospitals.
Too often we forget that univer-
sites in Spanish America antedate
those of North America and that
the printing press was set up in
Mexico before Boston saw one.
If the conquistadores and their
followers were guilty of crue-ties,
they were cruel times. DR.. de
Madariaga cites that Queen Eliza

TICKLE MOMENT

BY Peter BlackmOre. (G. z. Put

It's a pleasure to find a novel of
a species that seems almost to have
disappeared. This is the so-called
light story, which at its best is high
ly amusing and yet not entirely
trivial. This one comes near be-
longing to the best.
PICKLE Moment" describes the
goings-on of a group living in an
English seaside town at some un-
designated period, modern and yet
remote from wars and their bitter
aftermaths. The action centers
around a performance of "The
Mikado" by an amateur company
with the borough treasurer's wife
and her two daughters taking the
leading roles. The arrival of a
noted, even notorious, adventurer in
his world-voyaging yawl upsets
practically the whole town, particu-
larly the feminine portion. The
ending packs a complete surprise
one not exactly logical. But logic,
after all, is a cold quality for
comedy.
English novehsts used to excel at
this sort of thing. But lately; like
their American colleagues, they
have tended to write either in un-
bending seriousness or in broad
burlesque. The light novel differs
from the latter in that it does not
draw caricatures, but credible peo-
pie, with the amusement resulting
from the ordinary course of their
lives. Surely, despite the tragic
state of the world in general, it still
is no crime to be entertaining.

Spanish policy not only forbade
the enslavement of the natives but
sought to protect them from the
European competition with which
they were unfamiliar. Many natives

Peru, noble cities, clean. comfortable,
cities of wealth and culture.
DR.. de Madariaga will be remem-

sador to the United States and as
Spain's permanent delegate to the
League of Nations. He has, been
living in England since frances rise.
The result of this scholarly work
is to put quite a different light on
the Spanish regime in the new world
than that of the popular conception
in non-Spanish countries. Think,
DR.. de Madariaga says, "of whole

Ulrich Won Hassell was German

Reviewed by
MARY McGRORY.
Ross Lockridge's first novel, a
mighty college try at the great
American epic, presents a rather
discouraging problem to the re-
viewer. The commercial success
of this cruelty long outpouring about
an Indiana school teacher whose
grandiose boyhood dreams have
come to naught, is already as
sured 1t has been the subject
of a publicity campaign COM
mensurate with its size. It Is the
January choice of the Book k-of- the
Month Club and has been awarded
the $50, 900 Metro-GoldWyn- Mayer
Prize, Hollywood was SO anxious
to insure its wide circulation in
advance of the projected movie
that it contributed to production
costs to bring down the price of
the book. AS Louis Bromdeld re-
marks in a very pointed piece in
the current Saturday Review of
Literature, it matters little what
the reviewer says in the midst OF
such a general pfomotional hula
baloo.s
But TO get to the thankless task
Of considering the artistic aspects
of such an eminently marketable
product, let it be sand at once that
"Raintree County is something to
cheer. about as an attempt, if not
as an accomplishment. Its weakness
can be traced to the fact that its
mood of gentle perpleXity about
the, sources and meaning of life is
too thin to maintain 1,060 pages
of elaborate verbal embroidery, un-
kempt generalities and misty mys-
ticism which comes dimly into focus
with John Wickc1iff Shawnessys
conclusion that the quest itself ds)
the eternal consummatiou.' In his
ebullient verbosity, Mr. Lockridge
will recall Thomas Wolfe, but he
lacks the power and passion OF
Wolfe He is constantly diverted
from narrative line, in which
chronology is meaningfully and
completely scrambled by apostro-
phes to the martyrs of the Civil
War, to the Great Dispatcher of
Cosnic Trains" and TO the dead
heroes of the agrarian republic.
Examinations and cogitations are in
terrupted by erotic dreams. He is
not content with trying to say
everything; he says it twice.
A Holiday Argument.
This is not to indicate that
'Raintree County" will not provide
enjoyment for stalwart readers. 1t
is on the whole as likable as its
dreaming hero 1t has an engaging
air of jocose sentimentality, mo-
ments of ribald, hearty humor, some
excellent battle scenes and a
poetic appreciation Of the American
spirit. Mr.. Lockridge, through
convoluted series of fashbacks, ex-
plores the rivers and lakes of the
mythical birthplace of Johnny
Shawnessy and relates his personal
misfortunes to those of his beloved
republic during the critical last half
