The Great Globe Itself: Pre- face to World Affairs, by Wil- liam C. Bullitt (Seribner’s, $2.75); The Challenge of World Communism, by Hamilton Fish (Bruce; $2.50). Bullitt, who was U.S. ambas- sador to Russia from 1933 to.1936, and Fish, who headed the special House committee investigating Communism in this country re: anti-Communist views. oe W,orld Communism. is “the most powerful and evil force in the ,world today,” Fish declares, and Bullitt sees Russia, country tarian imperialism that threatens war inthe world today.” Appirently ° ‘he’ ‘would eve things’ up by threats from our side, for. he advocates a “De-|; fense League . of Democratic States” both European and all- American, and would not “hesi- perialism.” As if there were no contradiction, however, he “re- jects with absolute finality the idea that we should attack the | Soviet Union” and, like Fish, Russia is “inevitable.” The former congressman would form an American anti-Com? munist organization. His book contains lengthy anti-Red quota- tions from, Churchill, Pius XI, Monsignor Fulton J,,Sheen, Revs, Edmund,A,,Walsh and. Edward Lodge Curyan; Knights gf Colum- bus, a Hearst correspondent. While. both occasionally use the same material, it doesn’t always come out the same. There are, for instance, three variations of Roosevelt’s words on the Russian invasion of Finland, one way in Bullitt. Stalin and Lenin, while saying the same things, say them identically in the two books. The authors agree in warning against “appeasement.” They disagree, however, on the training of new priests in Russia, Fish saying it’s forbidden, Bul- litt that it is permitted. Among other inaccuracies, Fish sets the Paris Commune in 1870 instead of ’71. Fish is “ careless . with quota- tions, He claims, ‘for’.'example, that an AP dispatth from Chile last, February proves Commun. ists dominate | the 'Ckiléah!Con- federatida { of fabes! his claim, insofdr' ds it is‘based on his quo- tation from that) dispatch, is nonsense. 1G 1 AN nh ‘Hemisphere nations, which’ hive an estimated population of 300,000,000. 2. 15,780,000. 3.

My uncle Sylvester was Larry’s father, and Chester was parents in their infancy everything would have been ideal, instead of the mess it|* turned out to be. <Uncle Sylvester and his wife, Minerva, were gentle souls, and lived’ the most ordered lives pos- hearth, home, family and church, And to them was born’a little roughneck who, as soon as he was able to think at all, though only of freedom and adventure; whose eyes saw not the common- place neighborhood’ things, but’ the far-off places: wide stretches of desert with caravan moving Slowly across the horizon, coral strands with palm trees etched in silhouette across ‘the evening sky, tall masts swaying, the Nile flowing past the ageless smile of the Spinx, the rolling Argentin- jan pampas. “Aunt Lola was a strong-minded of: medicine and correction as fend for themselves.

Chester, who couldn’t ldok ata frog-pond without feeling queasy, and whom firearms made very nervous, was whisked over: fast, made to take part in practi- cally every engagement with the enemy, and returned an unwill- ing, hero. Out of the army, Larry laid his plans, which were simple in the’ extreme: to get away and live his free, roaming life. But Uncle and by dint of shedding a good many gallons of tears Minerva extracted from her son the un- willing promise that he would stay home and take care of her. Chester, home at last, announc- ed his intention of getting mar- ried, settling down and having’ a large family. The only hitch was that he couldn’t find a girl will- ing to marry him; He went through a staggering series of jilts, brokén engagements and out and out repulses by girls whose hearts and hands he sought. Then he fell into the toils of commerce.
