The Soviet Pattern

One-sixth of the human race to-
day is being ruled from the tomb OF
Nikolai Lenin, born Vladimir Ilich
Ulianov in a little Volga River town
in 1870. His restless star climbed
the skies of revolution until it
passed it's zenith in 1923 as Lenin's
health failed. He died the next
year, autopsy revealing in the cere-
bral cavity a sclerotic brain mass
shrunken to "one-quarter" normal
size.
But before he died he had cut
out for the Bolsheviks the pattern
of ideas, doctrines and politics which
today controls Soviet Russia. David
Shub sets forth this pattern in the
story of Lenin's life, for the two
are indistinguishable. Besides the
facts culled from mountainous
task of research, Mr.. Shub supplies
apparently original information
available only to man close to the
events he describes. CMr. Shub be-
came a member of the Russian
Social Democratic Party in 1903 and
was in the revolution of 1909 The
result is a complete. sober biography
Some of the theological quarrels
of the Socialist, Menshevik and
Bolshevik revolutionists make heavy
going, but not Lenin's precepts and
tenets, which pull interest because
the Kremlin has followed them
with only slight variations for a
quarter of a century. They give
basis for consideration of the future
The book abounds in remarks OF
present topical interest, such as that
of Tseretelli, fighting the Bolsheviks
in 1917: When you talk to the
Bolsheviks you must take along a
notary public and two stenographers
otherwise they will later deny every
thing they said" AS good a choice
as any from many others is perhaps
this doctrine of Lenin: 1--WE are
living not only in a state, but in a
system of states and the existence
Of the Soviet Republic side by side
with imperialist states for long
time is unthinkable. One or the
other must triumph in the end. And
before that end comes, q series OF
friehtful clashes between the Soviet
Republic and the bourgeois states Is
inevitable"

BY the Federal Poets. Henry H

Declining fortunes caused Mr.
Green, a warm-hearted, eternally
optimistic Southern gentleman to
remove his brood to France, where
he became an agent for the South
ern Cotton Oil Co. Lest they grow
up "expatriate mongrels," the mother
and father, seated close together on
the rosewood sofa, talked endlessly
of home and pictured romance and
the South Of their youth so wildly
that it became as real to their
seven children as the sights and
sounds of Paris.
Miss Green, whose brother Julian
is the noted expatriate novelist, has
told the story Of the wonderful, i'm
promptu gayety of her young life
with infectious warmth and a lack
of sentimentality that does credit
to mettlesome Mamma. Few family
chonicles have had such genuine
verve or such skillful telling.

Miss Pym Disposes. by Josephir

Miss Pym DispOseS, by Josephine
Tey. macmillan Co.; $2.)
If Miss Pym had acted like q
law-abiding citizen and taken her
chances with justice, the moral
aspects of this one might not be
so startling to the average con-
science. AS it is, shrug of Miss
Pym's frail shoulders seems to be
the authors method OF coping with
the wages of sin.
A sudden expert in psychology
Miss Pym is called upon to lecture
and stay awhile at physical train
ing institute for girls. Miss Pym
thinks she has never seen such an
energetic, normal group of lasses.
But she fails to consider that their
back-breaking routine could make a
disappointment the more unbear-
able. 1t takes a murder to make
her see the light. How Miss Pym
disposes Is strictly anticlimactic.
Up to then the author turned out
an unusual tale with the emphasis
on atmosphere and motivation
rather than routine detection.

Practically every one who attend
ed Byron Crofield's party had rea-
son to hate him. Crofield undoubt-
edly was a heel, ,lnprincipled about
women, a genius with the insult
direct. AS assistant editor of a
mystery magazine, he cast a pail
over the entire publishing family.
1t was obvious that some one had
returned after the party to do him
in. The arrest of his editor, Steve
Blake, on the basis of a suspiciously
damp overcoat, sets the stage for
the main attraction. The arrest is
prologue. From then on the author
does neat job of scenes shifting
to the final not-too- obvious cur
tain.

BELMONT FAIRIES.

BELMONT FAR1Eo.
Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, tough old
infantryman, was given one OF the
most heartbreaking assignments OF
the war-to hold China and Burma
with a minimum of supplies, troops
and cooperation by our Allies. His
successes, his failures, and his brut-
ally frank opinions of men and
events are here recorded in the
wartime notes.
He began with failure, the &C.
cupation of Burma by the Japs.
Reaching India after a 140-mile
jungle march he admitted, with un-
brasslike candor, 1--WE took a hell
of beating"
After months Of bucking the cor
ruption of China's politicians and
the inertia OF the not-very-beliger-
ent British in India he succeeded
in training two Chinese divisions in
American methods and in using
them and a small American force to
win a brilliant victory in Burma.
That success contributed to his
final failure. He had proved that
Chinese troops could fight often
sively, but in doing so he had
alarmed the ruling clique to such
an extent that Chang Kai-shek
forced his recall.
Gen. StilWells experiences pro-
vide no solution to the China prob
lem, but they do give an honest
mans view of what is wrong with
China.

Incredible stories of

or let him run their lives. But not

this causes trouble, as witness the
following inter-species incidents:
interruption. One day certain
New Orleans lady reached down to
stroke her pet cat. He resented
the interruption of his daydream
and scratched her. Outraged, she
grabbed a gun, started chasing the
cat and tripped over her husband.
The gun went off and nicked the
husbands leg. She threw it into
the back yard where it went off
again, shot her in the foot. The cat
then left in disgust and hasn't
been back.
Lines Busy. A housewife in
kelso, Wash. had just the oppo-
site trouble with two willful dogs
- she couldn't get rid of them.
She advertised them for sale,

had gnawed away the phone con-
neCtion.

of the hunting season the superin-
