His words Are Tough and Pithy and he pulls no punches when he tells of his triumphs defeats and of the men around him who mad those events inevitable. His estimate of the communists in China made before his recall in 1944, seems to have been pretty Well borne out by subsequent events. If this condition the refusal of the Chiang government to cooperate wit the reds in making War on Japan persists China will have civil War immediately after Japan is thrown out. If Russia enters the  reds being immediately accessible will naturally gravitate to Russia s influence arid  however it might be pointed out that in certain other coun tries where cooperation with the communists was Given a try the co operation has not produced a vastly More preferable situation.

The american democracy. By Harold j. Laski. 785 up Viking new York. $6.50. Member of the executive committee of the British labor party professor of Oil Cal science at the University of weekend june 19, 1348 London or. Laski has launched Hereunto a shrewd though not entirely objective analysis of the United  american democracy is a strange mixture of conflicting conclusions. It most striking anomaly is Between pro Fessor Laski s belief in the theory of state ownership and his appreciation of the practical advantages of private ownership. While Laski has produced a Clear thinking evaluation of the american Way of life he has at the same time revealed his own inner uncertainty on the problem of socialism versus capitalism. Professor Laski s thesis is to interpret the american Busi Nessman As 4he cog of the country s entire wheel. Thus it is used to Demon Strate that America is a sort of Busi Ness dominated nation from  to press from Economy to Edu cation society to schools churches to culture. Where his thesis Breaks Down is in actual analysis of the businessman of his ideals or prejudices. To professor Laski the businessman is a nationalist and an Acquisito a conformist who fears democracy and fights it where he can a main who subverts the Law an courts resorts to violence in his Deal Ings with labor has no interest either in civic or cultural affairs. This is a biased analysis incompletely documented interesting but unconvincing. Some of his attacks Are shrewd but Many Are prejudiced and while the Book is worthy of High Praise in parts it Fallsdown lamentably in others. Noted in passing the smile at the foot of the ladder.
