HARP OF A THOUSAND STRINGS and BEULAH LLAND,

This i= authentic H, I. The craftamanship is superb, The prose is unembroidered and tough-textured, with Mr. Davis pin-pointing what he wants to say and never erupting in verbokity,

In The author demonstrates that a

disciplined writer can make plain 12-point words give a masterful ‘6 without resorting to italics or spasms of black-faced type. (Typitis seems to be a general disease of novelists those early days.) Mr, Davis is a writer of perfect self-control. He has his materials well in mind and hand and never allows himself to be stampeded into digressions, character is excellent, He avoids the banal, eschews the coining of cliches and never insults the intelligence. Many of his observations on his fellow man, and especially those concerning his sister women, are profound and often cutting. He is a past-master of the art of story-telling. This would be called a western If the usual maoney-grubbing, 500-words-a-day author devised the

A Look Into Red China

MAO'S CHINA. Translated and with an introduction by Boyd Compton Seattle, University

of Washington Press, $4.50.

Any person interested in what iI8 now going nn in China cannot afford to miss MAO'S CHINA, translated and with an introduction by Boyd Compton. The work Is a translation of what is known in China as “Party Reform Docu- | ments,” and it has become a handbook for the Chinese Communist. While these articles by top Chinese Peds are, from the standpoint of logic, quite fantastic, they cannot be ignored in fhe West.

~The book is, to the Red movement

{in China, what Hitler's “Mein | Kampf’ was to Nazism, And as |the translator points out in his {foreword “We ignore such material at our peril.” | The book also contains a translated article by Joseph Stalin. In |9peaking of the necessity for party “maneuverability” he warns that such maneuverability must not be confused with compromise. That declaration, I think, speaks for itself =o far as hope of compromise with the Kremlin is concerned$-E. P.

plot, “But anyone calling it a western, under the auspices of H. L.. Davis, should be shot.

Dr. Davis sets his story in the Middle Columbia River country of the Northwest. The time is the 19208, The narrator of the story is Amos Clark, a deputy sheriff, young, impetuous and somewhat inept. The story is unfolded as Clark assumes the task of helping Old Hendricks, aged, rnugged, snarled, life-battered and cynical, move a herd of horses to the open country, Old Hendricks, who pioneered in the North Country and then left, hating his grasping sons and daughters, only to return, is strong on the wisdom learned from life and not from the copybooks. His observations on men

and women, society in general, his!

ability to see through pretense, his flashes of intuition, convince the reader that he iz confronted by a flesh-and-blood character and not by a phony made of paper and ink.

As the young and old man, aided sometimes by a Mexican youth, are herding 50 horses across country, you are treated to a suspenseful story in which are involved duplicity, depravity, greed, passion and murder. And a® the backdrop of this panorama of human frailty Mr, Davis paints the North Country where natures i= cruel and greedy, too, an area which has the aspects of an isolated sucontinent, All this, and a boy-meets-girl subordnate plot, thrown in perhaps grudgingly by Mr. Davis as a sop for those who insist that Love's Sweet Dream come true in some manner.—C.
