Here is q jury on which

Finding themselves more and
more necessary to the import of
the story, they will grow in
creasingly interested in deciding
questions even bigger than the

Mary Borden, member Of q

her second novel a theme. sit
uation and characters especially
close to life In England. The
book. besides being an admir-
ably done work of fiction. has a
quality Of universally and a
depth Of feeling which lift it
well above the ordinary.
Treason Trial
It centers on the treason trial
of Martin Merriedew as related
by a childhood playmate now
married to the man who pre-
sided as judge. Woven in with
an excellent portrayal of the
courtroom proceedings are the
narrator's memories Of Merrie-
dew as a brilliant. compelling
youth and the traits and striv-
ings which separated him from
his closest friends and ulti-
mately alienated him from his
neighbors. The presentation is
q skillful pattern rather than

Charged with having aided
German prisoners in North
Africa and urging British SOL
diers to quit fighting in Italy
during the last war, Merriedew
is put on trial for his life.
Was he guilty of treason as
charged? Was he a lunatic or
a fanatic or honestly torn be-

duty? Should q verdict have
been returned against society
for failing to see signs that he
might have been attempting to
live literally the ideals Of BROTH

Mr.. Hoover advances q dis.
senting view Of Mr.. Roosevelt,s
Inauguration Day statement.
"The only thing we have to
fear is fear ITSELF" According
to Mr.. Hoover. the panic which
had closed many of the banks
by that day was due to fear Of
the incoming administration.
This is part Of Mr.. Hoover's
carefully documented indict-
ment Of Mr.. Roosevelt, the
Democratic Party and the New
Deal. Although the former
President can write in an en-
gaging style, this, like any in
dictment. does not make for
easy reading. The Indictment is
impressive when you study the
figures given to show what the
Hoover administration did and
what the Roosevelt administra-
ton did. It is less so when the
writer holsters his case with
quotations from Mr.. Roosevelt's
enemies.
Delayed Time Bomb
Briefly. Mr.. Hoover's argu-
ment Is this:
True, we were due for "some
economic readjustment" as the
result of the orgy Of stock-mar-
ket speculation ending in. 1929.
But the slump started abroad
before it did here. BY the end
Of March, 1881. it appeared to
have run its course. Then we
were hit by the delayed time
bomb explosion of European
collapse due to the war and its
aftermath.
Mr.. Hoover's response was
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and other measures,
given reluctantly by a Democratic
Congress. The Democratic tao
ticts Of sabotage and delay
prolonged and deepened the
depression. BY June, 1882,
however, recovery was on the

to paint roofscapes. with their
