ing, as heartily as I can, Aneurin Bevan’'s IN PLACE OF FEAR (Simon & Schuster,$3), a book which, by turns, is infuriating, challenging and deeply depressing in its devotion to an end-all materialism as a political ideal.

IN PLACE OF FEAR is a polit-}

figure in British government and one of the world’s: most controversial men. In arguing his case for Socialist democracy as against capitalist democracy, Mr. Bevan vents much of his Marxist spleen on the United States.

Unfortunate to the validity of his criticism, his knowledge of the United States apparently is based on a reading of Jack London’s fictional attacks of a half century ago on the excesses of our barons of finance and industry. Although he has digested much statistical material on America, and certainly is qualified to speak on the

And the springs of his Marxism —which, incidentally, is of a nonRussian variety—are apparent in hate for the poverty he knew as a boy. Thus the main forces in politics and economics are te him “great private wealth, poverty and democracy.” Among! them “no rest is possible . . .

about which end of the sword he’s on. But as a crusader in the economic wars, he parts company, I think, with the positive currents of liberal thought in his willingness to abandon the individual—not without proper deferential nods, of course to the! mass.
