dictation of the last third in 1945? Miss Tjader, writing for the Book Find News, says he had gone so deeply into the financial and family experiegees that he had enough material for three books of the present size, ; But “The Bulwark” is strangely unlike the big novels—it has short chapters and ends on a note of spiritual faith, in which an American Quaker, who has been shocked by his son's suicide and his daughter’s laxness, reiterates his reliance on the Inner Light that draws men together in faith and makes each one his brother's keeper, finding contentment and peace in serving others, the religion of unselfish love experienced by John Woolman. » » » AS A story “The Bulwark” is uninspired and routine; its characters are described but not brought to life; if published without Dreiser's name it would justify only passing mention, It must have been finished not because of an overwhelming urge to express it, but because Dreiser was tly being asked about 1t, narrative of Solon Barnes, the Quaker banker, and his wife, Benecia, begins with their youth and schooldays and then describes the development of their family and Solon’s business success.
Of their five children, Stewart and Etta become problems; they |, leave home and make urgent de-
mands for funds.
. IEATTA goes to Greenwich Village in the 1020s—so this could not have been forecast in 1910—and there for a painter and becomes mistress. He leaves when her
possessiveness hinders his art.
Etta shocks her father dreadfully when he learns that she has been
reading naughty books — to-wit:
Balzac's “Cousin Bette,” Flaubert's and Daudet's
“Madame Bovary” “Sappho.” Pa Barnes chides Etta, saying that in reading such books she is rejecting the Inner Light. Since Dreiser has drawn Barnes sympathetically, he is not trying to make him ridiculous.
” ~ ” STEWART is a young blood, intensely concerned with thoughts of girls, He joins in an attempt to seduce a girl, but she has a weak heart and dies. His disgrace brings him to suicide, and apparently Barnes becomes more tolerant of everyone. But both the crisis and its subsequent effect on Barnes seem weak, while Barnes’ conservatism—which is not the old, inhibiting puritanism attacked by ‘the earlier Dreiser— seems old-fashioned in 1946. ~~ Here is an older generation, almost losing its anchorages by the sharp practices of modern banking, suddenly brought back to its plain Quaker faith by personal adversity, and a younger generation, free and irresponsible, learning that the

timate relation to the very heart of being.” This will be welcome news to those who have looked upon Dreiser as lost among the radicals, and, as H. L. Mencken might say, they will now enroll Dreiser among the pious. On the other hand, radical admirers will be. slightly disturbed, although holding fast to Dreiser as their giant among American authors, Edwin Seaver, reviewing the novel for the Book Find club, remarks: “If I cannot accept his farewell vision; if, as I think, it is a reversion t0 the past rather than a leap into the future, I can accept the integrity that it gave voice.” » » . THERE is, he says, “a kind of sunset -glow” in the third part, which shows that “Dreiser was ready for his death”. . , whatever that means. “The Bulwark” gets its title from the mother's remark: “Thy father was a bulwark of our faith.” Doubleday is publishing it in an edition of 60,000 at $2.75, and the printing of the Book Find club will be at least that many.

a widely traveled and clear-
sighted reporter, he is also a keen-minded analyst of intellectual pretensions, our own included. “This House Against This House,” with its admonitory, anti-war title out of “King Richard II,” is the latést in Mr. Sheean’s semi-autobio-graphical series of books covering the last 20 years of world mistak and resultant agony. : » » » BEGINNING with “Personal History” and continuing with “Not Peace, but a Sword” and “Between the Thunder and the Sun,” Mr. Sheean’s historical reporting has often opposed influential opinion. In the pre-Munioch debacle of the Spanish Civil war, for example, potent * official attitudes in the United States, England and France immeasurably strengthened Hitler and Mussolini, Under so-called “non-intervention,” both dictators were able hearsals for world war II » ” » ALTHOUGH we know now what disastrous errors of judgment we made then, we are still cursed with dangerous notions. : dt The most dangerous, and it's a recurrent theme in Mr, Sheean’s latest book, is the notion that war between Russia and the United States is inevitable. That notion, incidentally, as Mr. Sheean points out, is part of Hitler’s legacy. Hitler proclaimed loud and often the “inevitability” of war with the U. 8. 8. R.—even in 1044, predicting that if the democracies should win, they would eventually have to fight Russia. » » » MR. SHEEAN stresses the terrible peril involved in that kind of talk. Like all loose, irresponsible substitutes for thought, such talk has a fearful fascination. It's easy, and it flatters the ignorant, who like to imagine their knowledge of the “sinister” purposes of the Soviet Union as being more accurate than, say, Mr. Molotov's. But we're not playing with firecrackers any more. Atomic war is a reality. There's precious little time in which to learn agreement and international planning for construction and life, instead of destruction and death. ” ” » A REVIEWER risks being tedious in reiterating all this familiar stuff. Yet Mr. Sheean thinks, and so do I, and so does everybody I know, Americans are desperately
and radicals but among the readers | trying to forget such things. That

RUSSIA TODAY— [Sees Social Aims Lost in Stalin's Plan "THE GREAT RETREAT." By Nicholas S. Timasheff. New York, Dutton. $5. By J. Z. HOWARD
Scripps-Howard Staff Writer RUSSIA today would be a sur-
prise to Lenin—and a much greater surprise to Karl Marx. Even the Stalin of 1917 might be
as much surprised as the others, if he hadn't been sitting in oun the changing 29-year deal But he not only has been sitting in. He has been stacking the cards. ~ » » RUSSIA in 1046 is something quite different from what the old Bolsheviks envisioned when they grabbed control of a sixth of the

of history, Nicholas 8. Timasheff tells about
} [it In “The Great Retreat.” Tima-
sheff, a Russian of the non-Bol-shevik, non-8talin variety, is now an American citizen, a professor at Fordham university, New York, a nay IN BRIEF, Timasheff tells this: Russia today is not a miraculous flowering of a never-give-up Communist doctrine that has finally
established itself in a reluctant world and proved its worth, Russia is a machine fashioned by a group of operators who have been willing to throw aside any and all doctrine they found hampering in order to keep control of the machine and make it a better vehicle for them to ride on indefinitely. ” » » RUSSIA is not a Communist entity. It is a Communist party entity, And the Communist party, chiefly a creature of the imagination of Stalin, is completely in charge of Russia, although it has cast away most of the ideas that gave it its name. Like the Russian generals of Napoleon's time and the Russian armies of 1941, the Communist party has won by retreating. The old Bolsheviks—a. tiny, insignificant (it was thought) party —contrived to grab power in 1917. And these old Bolsheviks really thought they were establishing a new society along the lines laid down by Marx and Engels. ¥ ” ” THEY thought that once they did away with the old order—religion, private property and capitalism, reverence for the old traditions and culture — the people would fall in line. They thought that after they had cleared away-the “rubbish,” something new and fine would arise, that then they could step aside and watch the new Communist society flourish—first in Russia, then sweep over the world. These old Bolsheviks had a shock coming. A fellow named Josef Stalin had other ideas. He was willing to see the old order swept away, but if he ever had any idea of stepping down and letting things take their course, he soon gave it up. He was just as ruthless in sweeping away old comrades who stood in his path as he was in abolishing religion and private property. ” ” » THE MATERIAL achievements under communism, Timasheff shows, have been notable only during the periods of “retreat” from Communist doctrine—and in proportion to the amount of retreat. The Russians fought so magnificently in the rece nt war—not for communism, but for Russia. The support of the people and the efficiency of the war machine was won by the fostering of the spirit of nationalism as against the Marxist idea of world revolution. When the Communists learned the people didn't like a non-re-liglous state, they re-established relations with - the remnant of the Orthodox church. ” ” » * WHEN loose sexual practices brought a drop in the population, they suddenly invoked the old moralities and rediscovered the worth of family ties and parental discipline. When agricultural production dropped off under the collectivization program, they reinstituted the peasant’s private plot and personally owned livestock. The net result has been retreat on anything and everything not essential to the survival in power of Stalin and his Communist party.

Writing at a considerable distance in time, Dame Una
Pope-Hennessy avoids the Victorian tendency to canonize biographical heroes. Dickens thus appears no better, but certainly no worse, than many other 18th century great men.
» » . HE HAD an unhappy childhood (“David Copperfield”). His father was spendthrift and improvident (Mr. Micawber). His mother—and this seems greatly to have wounded the boy—was callously indifferent to his being apprenticed to a blacking manufacturer, an experience he could never afterward recall without horror. As an underpaid shorthandreporter in law courts, young Dickens fell hopelessly in love with Maria Beadnell (David Copper - field's Dora). This was the first of a series of romantic infatuations, incredibly sentimental ones, which continued throughout his married life and eventually broke up his home. . 5 » IN 1836, at the age of 24, he married Catharine Hogarth, evidently a dull, unimaginative girl. Kate was, however, what Victorians termed a good wife; in 15 years, she had 10 children, besides four miscarriages. And she tolerated the presence in their household of her younger sister, sprightly Georgina, whom Charles found a congenial companion. : When Charles and Kate separated in 1858, under the Victorian customs which gave the husband all advantages, the wife practically none, Georgina gracefully took over the duties of housekeeper for Charles. The immediate cause of the separation seems to have been a romantic passion cherished by Charles (aged 46) for Ellen Ternan, an actress (aged 18). x » » ” THROUGHOUT his life, Dickens was fastidious, even dandified. He loved good clothes, luxurious living. On his first American tour in 1842, the one that produced the muchassailed “American Notes” and the satirical passages in “Martin Chuzzlewit” ridiculing .tobacco-chewing, loud-talking, careless-spitting Americans, he seemed to many an almost effeminate fop. With increasing prosperity, Dickens did a lot of entertaining at his London home. Under a pen name, Mrs. Dickens in 1851 published a cook book. f J » - A SAMPLE menu of an ordinary dinner for six or eight guests included . carrot soup, turbot with shrimp sauce, lobster patties, stewed kidneys, roast saddle of lamb, boiled turkey, knuckle of ham, mashed and brown potatoes, stewed onions, cabinet pudding, blancmange and cream and macaroni. Washed down with plenty of wine, such a typical menu explains in part why Dickens later in life suffered from gout.

His experiences as parliamentary reporter convinced him that members of parliament were more interested in the sound of their own voices than in social improvement. And, following the example of Carlyle, he bitterly satirized economists in “Hard Times.” He antagonized American audiences by pleading for international copyright laws. ers were making huge profits out of pirating his works rignt and left, a type of literary theft then deemed wholly permissible.
