THE DAILY MENTALITY OF AMERIGANS 1S BOOK'S THEME Britisher Holds Up Look- ing Glass — Life in Prison Related By JOHN SELBY NEW YORK, June 7—A com- paratively fixed routine has come to be followed by British writers in America, one that leads by way of social contacts, the lecture plat- form and publishers’ suggestion to the production of a book of im- pressions. And the books havz generally fallen into one or two dully definite patterns. L. P. Jack's book does not. “My American Friends” is a book to rank with Andre Siegfried’s. Jacks would have foreigners judge Amer- ica not by its present position, but by its direction. He finds us prone to self-analy- sis, and far from a young people. He thinks we live indoors, ventur- ing abroad even in closed cars. H> understands our ‘“standardizatio understands the migration to Cali- fornia, and the apparent independ- ence of our children. Probably this is the crux of a book that could be read profitably by our British brethren as well as ourszlves: the American’s mentality . . . is one of there as distinct from here . . . ests lie some distance ahead of where he actually is at the mo- ment. This, it may be said, is a common human characteristic. I agree; but according to (the Amer- jcan) philosophy the reason we are always chasing our blessings and failing to capture them is that we don’t chase them fast enough.” Bitter Tea There is a throttled but evident fury underlying James R. Winning's “Behind These Walls.” It is a bit- ter and moving book about life in prison, written by a convict and avoiding by a hair’s breadth the persecution complex that quite of- ten vitiates the force of similar ef- forts. Winning relates experiences run- ning the list of cruelties, not only the cruelties of confinement and longing but those of sadistic guards, official neglect and deliberate mis- understanding. The climax is a fire that burns nearly 300 convicts to death. ‘The books of the week have been singularly ‘varied. Witness “Broad- cast Minds,” Ronald Knox’s reply | to the strictures of Mencken, the| Huxleys, Wells, et al,, the Catholic viewpoint, covery Through Revolution,” a sym- posium. in. which Robert Morss Lov- ett and others consider that ti ish subject from various angles. Still More Books There is an interesting mystery called “A Case for Mr. Paul Savoy,” by Jackson Gregory, and there is Upton Sinclair's “The Way Out,” a series of letters by the urgent Mr. Sinclair to the son of the capital- ist, prescribing Mr. Sinclair'y fa- miliar remedies for our familiar ills. Most weighty, perhaps, is George Stewart’s detailed but keenly inter- esting account of all the Russian counter-revolutions, an authorita- tive attempt to give the reader a complete knowledge of Russian lost causes, of Russia.” NOTICE OF FORFEITURE Haines, Alaska, June 5th, 1933 | TO G.
