Mr.. Marquand unveils in this
novel what may be the best
full-length portrait of a pro-
fessional Army officer in our lit
erature. If its highlights are
glazing at times, meaning if it
borders on the satirical, still it
always is sympathetic and I'M
Outstanding and you'd be hard
put to find a picture of general
so complete from dustlesS boots
to close-shaved jowls.

the River and Under the Trees"
a Regular Army colonel, once
breveted brigadier. but that was
a mere profile, shadowy for all
its poignancy, The Marquand
painting has all the dimensions
from boyhood to the latest as
signment from the Pentagon.
There is no novelist writing
today, on either side of the At
lantic, who has a surer touch
with character than Mr.. Mar
quand. He is inclined to satire,
but this usually is subtle enough
to maintain the illusion of re-
atty.
Well-Drawn Prototype.
Whether Gen. Melville Good
win is a typical Army officer.
whether there are many like
him in the service, is a matter
for argument. Probably Army
people will object violently to
some of Mr.. Marquand's shad-
ings. But whether he is an &C
curate or overdrawn example
cannot alter the mans stature
as a character in a novel. At
least there is something-quite
a lot. I think-of every profess
sional soldier in Goodwin.
Mr.. Marquand has chosen a
rather difficult way to get at
his general. The story is told
by a radio commentator who
met Goodwin in Paris during
the war.
1t happened that Sidney Skel-
ton. the major, got well &C
quainted with the general. There
were circumstances. Goodwin
was simply a major general,
one of many in that vast Army.
He had a good record in both
World Wars and he commanded
a valorous armored division in
the Bulge. but he probably
would have continued to escape
public notice except for an cpl
sode in Berlin a couple of years
after the war.
The general by his courage
and tact avoided serious trouble,
possibly war, with the Russians.
Sidney. broadcasting from New
York, broke the first story of
this incident, and suddenly
Goodwin was a national figure.
Army public relations picked up
the ball, ordering Goodwin back
to Cooperate" with the press.
The Army Takes Over.
We find Gen. Goodwin telling
his life story at Sidney's i'm
posing Connecticut home, dur
ing three days, while a re-
porter for news weekly prods
him with questions, a research
assistant takes notes and a
photographer illustrates the in
terview. Present nearby is Good

day after he graduated from

Reading and Writing
Decline of Culture in the Corn Arouses
Conference on RuroI Reading
By Mov McGrory

Mrs. j. Homer Remsberg of
the National Home Demonstra-
ton Council of Middletown.
Md, spoke up: Country peo-
Pile walk into a big marble hall
and their feet make a terrible
noise and some librarian comes
up and wants to know what
they want. They just get right
out. Do you know why country
people would rather go to the
five-and-ten? They can stand
right in the middle of the floor
and nobody bothers them"
The formidable librarian of
the snooty, shushing school was
further held responsible for the
fear of books and book people
said to be common in rural
areas, where book stores are a
rarity and book reviews do not
often penetrate. One speaker
mentioned a library which re-
painted its interior in pastels
and upped its circulation rs per
cent.
Another reason given for the
current regard of books as
sacred objects is the disappear
ance of the book salesman from
the country roads. The panel
lists agreed that in rural book
selling, as in politics. nothing
takes the place of ringing door,
bells. Some book concerns,
notably those with educational
lists, still tote around books
for children, but generally
speaking, the decreased margin
of profit has made this old
fashioned method impractical.
More Bookmobiles.
How then get the books to
the people? Monday nights
panel took a sturdy stand that
if the people will not go to the
books, the BOOKS must go TO
them. Further use of bookmo-
biles, Indignation of reading
projects with activities OF
church and grange were among
the means suggested.
Another measure suggested
was a concerted drive to run
book reviews in country papers.
It was emphasized that these
reviews should not be canned"
nor should they be written by
either teachers or librarians,
who were held to be suspect"
suspected, that is, of wanting
to educate rather than to en-
tertain). They should be in
stead the work of some local
reader who would be the friend
or neighbor of the prospective
readers.
In all, a wholesome spirit OF
inquiry and reform prevailed.

1t was the Spanish America
War, a war we need not have
fought, that involved America
deeply in world affairs, he says,
and the open door" policy for
China that started us on our
course in the Pacific which led
in time to the war with Japan
and the Communist conquest Of
all China.
The open-door policy had a
highly moral tone to which no
one could possibly object. but it
failed to recognize vital Jap
anese interests. 1t set the pat
tern for later high-minded
appeals in which we expected
much of others without real
expense to ourselves.
Twice we got into World Wars.
not on the realistic grounds
that Britain must be saved to
preserve the power balance of
Europe, but in theological cru
sades that would permit no &C
ceptance of victory short of
destruction of the enemy. In
neither case did we foresee the
unpleasant results for us in the
power vacuumS thus created.
The answer. according to Mr..
KEENAN,. is a new and more
moderate attitude toward many
things outside our borders that
We find irritating and unpleas-
ant.
"It will mean" he says, that
we will have the modesty to ad-
NIT that our own national in
terest is all that we are capable
of knowing and understanding
and the courage to recognize
that if our own purposes and
undertakings here at home are
decent ones, unsullied by ar
rogance or hostility toward other
people or decisions of superb
ority, then the pursuit of our
national interest can never fail
to be conducive to better
world"
The publishers have rounded
out the book with Mr.. Remnants
two notable articles on Russia
from the magazine Foreign At
fairs, including the "Mr. x" ar
ticle which originally outlined
the policy Of containment of the
Soviet Union.
Mr.. KEENAN, doesn't pretend to
have the answer to how a de-
mocracy can be led to act on a
cold calculation of its own in
terests rather than on the emo
tons so easily stirred by demo-
gogues. But he has produced a
thought provoking volum e
which, for all its brevity. is a
major contribution to an I'M
derstanding of the power posi-
ton of the United States in the
world today.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-09-30

planning staff in the State De-
partment, Mr.. KEENAN, found
that the United States appar-
entity had no consistent, gen.
orally accepted basis for a for
eign policy.
It is to be hoped that we have
basic policy now. On that
subject Mr.. Kennan is silent.
But during the last year. while
on a sabbatical leave from the
State Department, he has had
an opportunity to study care
fully the way in which past de-
cisions were reached. His con-
illusions, first presented in a
series of lectures at the Uni
versity of Chicago, are here
made available to a much wider
audience.
The most serious fault of our
foreign policy. as Mr.. KEENAN,
sees it, is a too legalistic and
moralistic approach.
1T is a curious thing" he
says, that the legalistic ap-
proach to world affairs, rooted
as it unquestionably is in a
desire to do away with war and
violence, makes violence more
enduring, more terrible and
more destructive to political
stability than did the older
motives of national interest"
