Author of "sorrell and Son" and

criticism hurled at 1t from the
Capitol and elsewhere. Much Of
the criticism was manifestly unfair.
Mr.. Ross does not ap-
proach his subject with bitterness.
He attempts to reason with his op-
ponents from Dixie and other places.
FEPC was an administrative crea-
ture of the late President Roosevelt,
and never had the direct blessing of
Congress. Like so many other
White House creations, it depended
on "directives" to enforce It's find
ings, and the orders were ignored
more often than followed. The au-
thor likened it to sending out "a boy
with BIB guE to bag a lion."
The committee found that Of those
who complained of discrimination IN
Jobs, 80 per cent were Negroes, 10
per cent Mexican-American and 6
per cent Jewish. Specifically, FEPC
was sent out to end that discrimi-
nation so that manpower resources
could be modified more fully for
war. It's efforts were described by
Southern critics as Yankee inter-
ference, Communist inspired" and
by other names in other sections.
Capital Transit Case.
Despite a large snare of defeats,
one of which was the failure to in
troduce Negro motormen and drivers
in the Capital Transit Co. here, Mr..
Ross feels that FEPC made a def
mite contribution toward ending dis
elimination in employment.
The author says the root Of dis
elimination in the South is econom-
ic-a fight for jobs-rather than
social. He believes that only forth
right attack on the problem by the
National Government can bring 1t
to an end.
Economic salvation of the South,
Mr.. Ross points out, lies in the edu-
cation and full utilization of its
manpower. He says: "The South
has 10000, 900 Negroes, third of its
labor force, earning less money and
turning out less production than
they could If given a chance"

Southern History
THE SOUTH, OLD AND NEW
BY Francis Butler Simkins. (Al-
fred A. Knopt, Inc; s6.)
Reviewed by
FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS.


Prof. Simkins says that the doc
trine that gives the South distinc-
tiveness is the doctrine of white
supremacy.
His book is a thorough examina-
ton of what makes the South south
ern. He returns again and again
to the part the insistence on white
supremacy has played from the
days that slavery was a domestic
institution registered in heaven
with the human family" through
the Civil War, fought for hearth
and home and white supremacy and
right down to the present.
Has there been any change In re-
cent years? Prof. Simkins finds
evidence that the color line has
been even more sharply drawn. He
finds no fundamental change in the
patterns of Southern life brought
about by World War II.
It is doubtful, he says, that in
the years since reconstruction Negro
progress has outweighed Nego retro
gression.
The Southern Negro, too, has had
little help from outside. Supreme
Court decisions paved the way for
repressive legislation in the South
and the Republican Party acquiesced
in it's Southern representatives
adopting the lily white attitude.
There is much in this book be-
sides the Southerner's attitude on
the race problem. There is the
South which cherished the institu-
tions of the front porch and the
everlasting rocking chair, the ro-
mantle South, the South of stag
nation and Of industrial develop
ment.
AS an historian Prof Simkins is
not pleading cause or pointing
with scorn. He is recording what
he finds and interpreting it IN the
light of the Southern past.
1t is not likely that many In the
South will take issue with his his
torical Judgment although there
will be those who oppose the condi-
tions he describes.
Prof. Simkins is a South Caro-
linian, a graduate of the University
of South Carolina and of Columbia
University. He is now associate
professor at Virginia State Teachers
College at Farmville.

The subject of animals, especially
that of wild ones in their native

backed them up solidly. Peoria did
right by their returning soldiers, too.
There every veterans problem was
treated as "a personal matter, not a

Some of the veterans that Martin
talked to, however, were still en-
battled, fighting for tolerance or
a living wage, or a place to live
or an education or a job. One
embittered Negro soldier In a
Washington USO explained that
he was going to take his bride to

Interspersed with these accounts
of their mixed reception are
fragments of battle reports and

point up the difference between
battlefront tension and homefront
letdown. Some Of Mr.. Martins
most memorable chapters have to
do with the contented individuals
who were so charmed to be alive

little more of life. There was
Johnny, the handsome guide at the
Carlsbad Caverns who enjoyed
everything about his job from the
love letters of impressionable wom-

Royal Romance
OF Poet King
And Fair Lady
JAMES AND JOAN
BY Fremantle. fHenry Holt &
Co. So 80
Reviewed by
NINA PEMBERTON.

Here is no ordinary swashbuck-
ling historical novel, but instead. a
semifictional story of James the
First of Scotland, the poet King,
whose life was wrapped in film
of tragedy, love and gentle but just
craftsmanship. It was, In fact, a
craftsmanship which was far ahead
Of the times in which he lived.
Mrs. Fremantle has devoted the
first half of her book to the COM
plex geneology of the English royal
family and the many noble fam
lilies and kin involved in the con-
slant game of warfare and raiding.
AS an alternative to confinement
in the Tower of London, James
Stewart took up arms against
France. under the banner of his
captor, King Henry v of England.
These early chapters deal also with
the boyhood and development Of
James, against a background of the
horrors of the plague of London,
and the crude modes and manners
of those who made up the compile
ment of court life.
Probably the greatest thing that
ever happened to this sorely beset
young King was his meeting with
the beautiful Joan Beaufort. The
Lady Joan, who was English, came
into his life almost simultaneously
with the death of his captor. With
heavy ransom hanging over his
head, but with the inspiration Of
his life at his side, he made his
way to his beloved Scotland, to rule
the country he had not seen since
his early boyhood.
James the First. who was born
in 1894 and assassinated in 1887,
typif1ed the spirit of Scotland. This
spirit has here been captured and
set down by none less than one Of
Queen Joan's own descendants, for
such is Mrs. Fremantle, an associ-
ate editor of Commonweal.
