A Novel of India
Under British Rule
MONSOON

BY G. H. Johnston. (Dodd
Mead; $3.)
Monsoon" is an exciting novel
OF India. It is a romantic melo-
drama, and yet it has literary
merit not often found in stories of
this category. The atmosphere of
Calcutta and Benares in DAYS
when the British were still trying
to hold India is conveyed in sharp
detail. In fact. description,
especially in the early part of the
book, is so. expansive it clogs
the story. There is action and
suspense enough in the later
pages. Michael Casey, an ex-
soldier and artist of shady repu-
tation, is an interesting character,
He wants only to be let alone, but
he manages to get into more trou-
ole than 10 ordinary men. The
American girl, kyle York, never is
explained fully; she remains
something of a mystery. Mr..
Johnston, an Australian, collabo-
rated with his wife, Chairman
Cliff, on the recently published
novel of Tibet, High Valley"
Monsoon" Mr.. Johnston's first
novel, has not previously appeared
in this country.

The Pageant of Iron
In America

A CENTURY OF IRON AND
MEN
BY Harlan Hatcher. (Bobbs-
Merrill $780,
At a spot which now is on the
outskirts of the town of Negaunee,
in the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan, on a June day in 1845, q
Chippewa chief named Marii-
GeiSck, found iron ore under the
roots of a fallen pine. A tablet
marks the spot. The inscription
states that it was the first dis
covery of iron ore in the Lake
Superior region. However, the
previous September, surveying
party led by William A. Burt, a
Federal surveyor, had found iron
in the same region. And Douglass
Houghton, who became geologist
for the new State of Michigan in
1887, had found clear indications
|of both iron and copper in the
Upper Peninsula. The iron mines
OF Michigan and northern Mime
sofa, including the fabulous Ver-
million and Mesabi ranges, came to
furnish most of the ore for vital
American industries. The pageant
OF iron development is told here
in authoritative and colorful de-
tail. This is the fourth book ir
a series on the Great Lakes ano
their environs by Mr.. Hatcher
who is vice president of Ohio State
university.
Evening star., 1950-07-16

long series of novels of his times
which the author has projected,
but that need not bother YOU
this book can stand alone.
Admirable Characterization.
Mr.. Shows Eliot is developed
with detached logic-even though
he tells his own story, out of the
maturity of later years-from boy
hood to a measure of success that
is far short of his ambition. His
struggle to rise above the lower
middle-class poverty of his small
town family is felt with almost
painful sympathy. Sheila, who
is a neurotic always swaying on
the edge of psychosis, is a subtle
portrait clearly seen, figure
draped in mist. 1t is a deep irony
that Eliot is equally unhappy be-
fore and after Sheila accepts him.
The other characters are admir-
ably drawn. Could anything be
more expressive of stinginess than
this sentence about the barrister
who was Eliot's mentor in Lon
don? ". Getliffe was so mean
that, having screwed himself to
the point of taking one to lunch,
he would arrive late so that he
need not buy a drink beforehand"
The ending seems to me q flaw
less example of art out of life. It
is far more moving than if the
author had used some melodra-
matte device to settle the prob
lem.
Those who pride themselves on
rushing through a book in an eve
ming will not get much out of
Time of Hope" unless they slow
down. 1t is a novel to be savored.
1t is long. surely. and yet every
page has it's place. Some may call
it dull. But then there are those
who say that of the Brahms Third
or of THE Return of the Native"
or of Van Gogh's impressions of
the Aries country.

Liam O'FIuherty
Views His Ireland
with q Shurp Eve
TWO LOVELY BEASTS

TWO LOVELY BEASTS
by Liam OFlaherty. (Devin-
Adair;: $3.)
No one can say that Mr.. OLA
herty views his native Ireland
through any sentimental emerald
haze. He sees it steadily. that is
sure; whether or not he sees it
whole is something for his coun-
trymen to decide-something that
will be done only with the fiercest
debate. For his stories are in the
main as bitter as gall, showing
twisted or stunted lives against
harsh landscapes.
Magnificent St0ryteller.
A magnificent storyteller, as
readers of "The 1nformer" need
hardly to be reminded, Mr..
O'Flaherty occasionally breaks
from his somber contemplations to
tell flrst-rate action story, not
ably in ''Grey Seagull," wonder
full account of a half-blind old
woman riding a wild horse in q
steeplechase. But even in that,
the vindictive note is not entirely
absent.
| In his title story, the irony is
heaviest. 1.-TWO Lovely Beasts"
tells of a poor farmer reused to
fanatical ambition by the sight of
beautiful calf, who grinds down
his family in his greed, and who
prospers in the face of boycott
and dire prophecies from the vii
lage leader.
Other tales tell of a maiden be-
ing sold into marriage by her
father; young boy going forlorn-
ly off to the seminary; a miser
taking revenge on an English land
lord; an added old maid watching
the marriage of an ugly, middle
aged man to an ugly middle -aged
woman; a flute player dying of
love. None of these themes are
happy, but they are beautifully
handled with great beauty and
economy of language.
Interspersed are tone-poem type
sketches of animals and places
which add little. John H. De
Polls woodcuts catch the stark
spirit Of things admirably.

A Royal Governess
Tells Her Story
THE LITTLE PRINCESSES

THE LITTLE PRINCESSES
BY Marion Crawford. (Harcourt,
Brace & Co.; $780,
A discreet, sentimental and ap-
pealing account of life in Buck
ingham Palace by the governess
of the two o-longer-s little Brit
ish royal princesses, this adds
nothing to general press accounts
of those very attractive girls. It
abounds in details of palace fur
|nishings. royal wardrobes and
noble personality traits that should
make it practically irresistible to
women Of even the most republi-
can sentiments. The children
grew up in a wholesome, loving at
mosphere, but so sheltered that
the ordinary American adolescent
seems like the weariest sophisti-
cate by comparison. Pedagogi-
cally. things seem to have been on
the Sketchy side, since the young
King and Queen wanted their
daughters to be happy instead of
intellectual, and Queen Mother
Mary had to step in now and again
with suggestions for stiffening up
the curriculum with a little more
Bible reading and literature. Miss
Crawford seems to have been gen.
timely fond of her charges and
writes of them affectionately if
with many digressions and repeti-
tions. The only jarring note is
struck by a grammatical error to-
ward the end. Writes the mentor
of royalty: "Lilibet had arranged
seats for George and I in the
Poets Corner" Possibly the lapse
can be explained by the excite
ment of the royal nuptials.

FORGOTTEN PATRIOT:
ROBERT MORRIS
BY Eleanor Young. (Macmil-
lGn;: 81
Americans, perhaps, have tried
to forget Morris because of the
unpaid debt of gratitude owed to
the f1nancier of the Revolution
The debt, however, was substantial
enough to make forgetting i'm
possible.
Miss Young, a native of Wash
ington and now teaching in Mount
Vernon, N. Y, does justice to his
patriotic services in the Revolu-
ton, as a member Of the Consti-
tutional Convention and as Sen
ator from Pennsylvania. At the
same time she does not gloss over
his tremendous land speculations
which collapsed. leaving him
bankrupt and sending him to Jail
for three and half years for debt.
Morris contemporaries erected
no statue to him after his death,
it would have been a statue to a
bankrupt. Americans generally
adopted their attitude.
