W #47 happened to the Columbia River Basin irrigation project 10 years after it was finished? What of 1948 and 1949? Not many years ago a daring leader or two warned the world of a coming disaster—a war of the mightiest nations—a conflict that would kill, starve and maim millions. And the wisest among us scoffed and refused to see the danger signal ahead. But it came. S. B. H. Hurst, of Seattle, one of America’s daring novelists, has written a new story, “The Locusts,” which strikes at the very heart of another menace against world peace! To do it he has raised his sights and focused his bril- liant pen on the Columbia Basin in 1945—the year, so says his novel, when the Brown In- vader from Japan will have conquered it. Hurst skillfully, logically, dramatically winds the thread of his story about the romance of a young man—the son of a World War Veteran —and a girl—the daughter of a pioneer of the Basin. Living in a community where all are Japanese but themselves, constantly threatened by arionymous letter writers, warned to leave, these two remaining white settlers of the Basin cling to their land. But the Big Jap Boss, ordered by his emperor to conquer ALL of the Basin, finds a way. The young man is accused of murder, The fast thinning ranks of the American Legion try to save him. He is condemned to death for a crime he did not commit. How he songet the gallows; how the Japs at last get control of the last bits of land in the Basin, is thrillingly told by Hurst in— THE LOCUSTS It starts November 6 in The Seattle Star.
