Of literature, Mr.. Huxley sees

Intentionally and blindly, by
the steady rise in the cost of
producing books. plays and

People, he observes, will
cheerfully pay four or i've
times what they used to for a
dinner. but balk at paying
more than twice or two and a
half times what they once paid
for a book by their favorite
author. Sales resistance against
books "begins at 200 per cent
of pre-war prices, but pro-
duction costs stand at 800 per
cent. Profit can be made only
when sales are substantial.
Books are therefore subjected
to an ever more rigorous or
deal of economic selection. 1t
is becoming increasingly diff
cult for any work which lacks
the obvious earmarks of popu-
larity to get published"
The author sees an anal
ogous situation in the theater
and the movie industry.
New Publishing
Mr.. Huxley suggests as one
solution in dealing with a pub
lie that no longer reads much
the revival of spoken literature.
1t may, he explains, soon come
to be cheaper to publish a
book on slow-playing records
than in a printed volume. And
a public which has become
used to listening to radio,
televiSion and the movies
might be more interested in
an auditory narrative.
Mr.. Huxley's views. to

with them. are always stimu-

been but a memory. But it
has never lacked interpreters
in painting, sculpture, litera-
ture. drama and films, who
have enjoyed a Nation-wi

apparently begins in ones

vast number of tots in cowboy

Serious interest in contem-
porary records of the West is
growing. George Catlin, Carl

Swiss artist, and Albert Jacob
Miller of Baltimore, all trav-
eled among Indians and trap
perS in the 1830s, and all
produced large numbers Of
paintings. as truthful and au-

make them within the limita-

RUSSIA WITHOUT STAIN:
The Emerging Pattern. BY
Edward Crankshaw. (Vik-
ing; $3.75D
When Mr.. Crankshaw speaks
on the Soviet Union, it profits
all to listen. Not that even he
is an oracle on this difficult
subject. But he ranks among
the best-informed outsiders,
and probably is far more ex-
perienced than many of the
worlds statesmen who base
their policies on a much mar
rover base of information.
Mr.. Crankshaw's concern in
in this volume is that the
West will overestimate the So
Wet Unions capabilities, to its
own detriment. This is not to
say that Russia is or will be
weak. BY 1865, he believes, the
Soviet people will be put for
the first time into a con-
dition, morally and physically,
from which they will be able
to offer a serious challenge to
the peoples of the West"
In Ferment
They're not now in that po-
sition, he is convinced. There
is a patchiness about their

their phenomenal development
in which no predictions can
be relied on because the exc

but worth quoting in full:

Tells Own Story
In the new book. as in the
others, Lewis tells his own
story. While a first-person
narrative is the most natural
way of describing the adven-
ture we call life, it has its limi-
tations: it does not allow the
author the same leeway in
depicting his human scene as
an omniscient observer. And
yet, in Mr.. Shows books, I am
never conscious of limitations.
Lewis seems to tell us all we
need to know, not only about
himself, but about the other
characters.
In Homecoming" Lewis re-
turns to his first marriage. In
the early part of this story, as
in THE Light and the Dark"
he tells us about his futile eff
forts to adjust himself to

Virginia CowIes Portroys
Edward VII as Fine Diplomat
GAY MONARCH: The Life and

GAY MONARCH: The Life and
Pleasures of Edward VII. BY
Virginia Cowles. Harper g.
Bros: So
Edward VII of England has
found in the American journal
list Virginia Cowles a most
sympathetic and engaging BIZ
ographer. She comedies his
weaknesses, in fact documents
them fully-but her plausible
point is that Albert Edward
had the rarest of all qualities
for a sovereign to possess
deep understanding of his fell
low beings"
What Miss Cowles shows,
implicitly. is that if ever a man
was spoiled by his mother, it
was Edward VII. And spoil
ing here means blighting, not
indulgence. For Queen Vic
toria, however admirable her
other qualities, was a most UNI
loving parent. Locked in OBJ
sessive grief for the dead
Prince Consort, she displayed
a repulsive and compulsive
diligence in letting everyone
know just how inadequate she
felt the Crown Prince to be.
Restricted Childhood
All his life. BERTHE" was
treated by his mother like a
backward child. He was for
hidden To see state papers,
snubbed in his attempts to
further English foreign policy,
berated like a footman.
When he vas liberated by
matrimony to the beautiful
Princess Alexandra Of Dem
mark, the Prince OF Wales
kicked UP his heels in a most
unedifying manner, becoming
in fact, a bit Of an adult delin-
quent. But the Princess always
loved him and not only the
English people, but all Of
Europe relished his hedonism
and aped his foppishness.
Whatever his mothers low
opinion Of him, Miss Cowles
points out in her very human
study. Albert Edward had an
unerring instinct for the gra-
cious gesture. an almost in
fallible sense OF what a later
generation has described as
public relations. !"
Sure-Footed Diplomacy
And even in his youth, he
had a sure grasp OF diplomacy.
Perhaps his intricate and null
tiple relations with a dizzying
succession Of pretty women
had trained him. but he was
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-14

exceptionally sure-footed in
delicate negotiation. And he
knew. with a stubborn wis
dom what his whitening mother
could never dent, that Eng
lands hope at the turn of the
century lay in friendship with
Russia and France, rather
than with an insurgent, belli-
cose Germany.
Albert Edward glorified the
human touch in diplomatic re-
lations. His greatest triumph
came in 1902, when he went to
a then alienated France, and
by sheer charm, he won back
the French to an English al
lance.
HistOry'S Due
Miss Cowles does not claim
for Edward VII more than
history's due. But she does
reveal in a vivid and enter
tanning way how his person.
atty left its mark on the era
that bears his name. He did
more than high living. He saw
current history in family terms
his nephew William II, the
fatal Kaiser Of World War I
he could not abide from the
beginning. And it was natural
that one who loved the good
life so would lean TO France
as an ally.
No thinker, no reader, no
philosopher, no humanitarian,
Edward VII still had qualities
that made him a great deal
more than the lecherous cipher
less sympathetic biographers
have limned. He was a beloved
king, who loved his Job, and
he gave his subjects not only
a wonderful show but the So
cial security that comes from
a sure royal touch in dealing
with other human beings.

for an adjustment. But it's a
losing battle. When Sheila is
tragically removed from his
life, Lewis is lonely for a long
time. Then he meets Margaret
and they carry on what is
called an affair. They quarrel,
and she marries a doctor.
Later they meet again, and
this time both are determined
to marry, regardless of Mar
garet's husband and her son.
War Background
The background is the war
years. Those who have read
Mr.. Shows earlier novels will
recall that after a difficult,
straitened boyhood, Lewis
worked hard to get an edu-
cation and became a lawyer.
He did not practice long. but
taught for a time at Cam
bridge. During the war he
becomes a key man in one of
the ministries.
But Homecoming" is more
about his personal than his
official life. 1t seems to me
that in this novel Lewis APP
pears less admirable than in
any of the others. There is a
selfish streak which impels
him at times to neglect poor
Sheila; a ruthless vein that
persuades him he should go
ahead and break up the home
of an admirable young doctor.
And yet somehow, perhaps
because Of the authors great
skill at probing a characters
depths. you feel that Lewis,
however much you may con-
denim him, follows a compul-
sion he can't avoid.
Mr.. Snow is a learned man.
He once taught physics at
Cambridge and has written
papers on molecular structure.
He has been an influential
literary critic. And yet his
novels are written with an
effective and affecting sim
plicity.
Homecoming" is fairly long.
And yet 1t is never padded.
However many and detailed
