BOOK SALE 9tup Books of all kinds WAHR'S 316 S. State NO 2-5669 Thomas A. BaIley and the thigh school By WALTER SHAPIRO Democrats vs. Republicans: The Continuing Clash, by Thomas A. Bailey. Meredith Press, $4.95. Thomas A. Bailey wrote my high school American history textbook, The American Pa- geant. This bulky, red book was a good example of the genre- amply equipped with visual aids, soothing generalizations, clear causal connections and a lively narrative which effec- tively inculcated political val- ues. It was this lively narrative prose style which makes me remember the book so vividly. After all, how can anyone for- get a book with sentences like, "The men of Nippon made hay while the rising sun shone." Bailey, a diplomatic historian from Stanford University, has now applied these skills which made him so effective in the high schools to the task of cre- ating an election year book os- tensibly for an adult audience. Implicitly fore-seeing a John- son-Nixon electoral tilt, Bailey has rushed into print "to show that the differences between the Democrats and their op- ponents . . . have always been substantial." Such is the rationale for 135 pages of narrative history of Presidential politics in this country, which reads as if Bai- ley had all but cribbed it from his high school text. There is little in the way of substantial analysis or any at- tempt at thematic development, except that Bailey continually depicts the big government- small government dichotomy in terms harking back to Hamili- tion and Jefferson. For exam- ple, Bailey generalizes, "Frank- lin Roosevelt was fully pre- pared to use Hamilitonian means to achieve Jeffersonian ends." But in general Bailey's his- toriography is of the inoffen- sive, descriptive sort. However, Bailey makes an exception for the Radical Republicans who obstinately refused to accept consensual two party politics. Bailey first brandishes the crowning insult in his vocabu- lary against these Reconstruc- tion Republicans by calling them "ultra-conservatives." He elaborates more fully in a foot- note, -"These Radical Republi- Feeding the world by combing the seas can extremists of the 'radical right' bear certain resemblances to the Republican Goldwater- ites of 1964." While all this vituperation is undoubtedly emotionally therapeutic for the Stanford historian, it is exceedingly dif- ficult to fathom his rationale for these striking labels. One would think rather that the ultra-conservatives of the 1860's were those who were trying to keep the slave system intact in all but name and not those who wanted to use eman- cipation to transform the so- cial structure of the South. Appended onto to the narra- tive is a short section in which Bailey attempts to present his case for "the virtues of the two party system." His argument is straight for- ward. "Substantial differences have always existed between the major parties . . . Otherwise parties woud not exist or per- sist . . . " In short, the old ra- tionale of simplistic political science - what exists is good because it exists. Yet, despite this build-up, the only real differences which Bailey can perceive between the two parties are modifications of the old adage that the Rep- ublicans are the party of the For the FICTION and NO iangup big business and the. Demo- crats are for the working man. Even if one accepts Bailey's contention that there were and still are significant differences between the two parties, the book still leaves a more fund- amental question unanswered. And that is whether the differ- ences between the Democrats and the Republicans are at all relevant to the problems facing the country today. No amount of historical evi- dence can hide the glaring real- ity that the collapse of the lib- eral civil rights movement has left both parties bereft of any solutions to the urban morass. It is not that important that we are in Vietnam because of the traditional international- ism of the Democrats or because of the fervent anti-Communism of the Republicans. The real problem is that there are few if any ideas in either party as to how America can relinquish its self-appointed role as the world's great counterrevolu- tionary power. Bailey's big mistake with this book was trying to write for an adult audience. If only it were republished in an inexpensive edition, it could be a real best- seller at the junior high school level.

Harper & Row, $6.95. . Since the end of the 18th century, population growth has been a topic of heated debate among social and biological scientists. After Malthus was "proved" wrong when the food supply held up through the early part of the 19th century, the old no- tion that the food supply would more or, less keep up with a growing population once again came into the fore. In recent years, it has become clear that the earth is rapidly approaching a human satura- tion point. There are now some three billion human beings in- habiting the planet and, in the underdeveloped areas of the world, the number is growing phenomenally. More scientists today believe that drastic steps must be taken to check this population growth if the world is not to plunge into subsist- ence economy in 20 years. There remain, however, in- dividuals who believe that man has always found new sources of fodd to feed new mouths in the past, and will continue to do so indefinitely on into the future. These optimists, rec- ognizing the limited amount of arable land available and the diminishing returns whichre- sult from increasing the inten- sity of cultivation beyond a cer- tain point, have tended to look to the sea as the provider of the vast quantities of resources needed to support the growing population. In Harvest of the Sea, Prof. John Bardach does much to dispel the comfortable notion that the sea, if only its re- sources were tapped, could pro- vide food, raw materials and power for an infinitely large number of people. Bardach, a professor of fish- eries in the natural resources school and a member of the Vice President's Council on Ma- rine Resources and Engineer- ing Development, quotes oce- anographer John Ryther as saying, "The open sea is a des- ert compared to moderately fertile land." There are only a few areas on the vast expanse of the seas, such as the con- tinental shelf of North America and an area of the Pacific off the coast of Peru, where com- mercial fisheries are economic- ally sound. While dismissing the oceans as a boundless source of food, Bardach does suggest ways in which the "harvest of the sea" can be improved. After some preliminery shil- ly-shallying by the Food and Drug Administration, fish pro- tein concentrate (FPC) a white, tasteless, almost odorless pure protein made from "garbage" fish such as alewives, has been ruled fit for consumption. FPC may be a great help in supple- menting protein-poor diets, al- though the primary food prob- lem of the world is not a short- age of protein but a shortage of calories. Bardach, a gifted popularizer, writes with a' bright, conver- sational and often witty style. He rises to eloquence when de- ploring the mess man has made of inland waterways and coast- al areas by dumping wastes. Although the bulk of the work is taken up with semi-technical descriptions of man attempts at exporing and harvesting the sea, its real virtue lies.with the implicit caveat - like all other resources, the sea can only be a limited provider.

Sierra Club and Bal- lantine Books, $3.95. For quite a number of years, the Sierra Club has been the nation's most active conservationist group.- Fighting for usually good causes (notable exception: an attempt to stop the damming of a Kentucky river that swells each spring and causes thousands of dollars of flood damage), they mount their canpaign to pre- serve America's natural gifts on a number of fronts. Most rec- ognizable of these are some avid lobbying campaigns, but I think ,the most effective means of reaching the public is through a recently heightened publication drive. An example of Sierra's most effective on-paper arguments can be found on the pages of this wondrous paperback volume, photographed by an ex-physician who has become so consumed in his devotion to nature, he manages to produce some of the most breathtaking color pictures that I have ever seen. The first release in what is hoped to be a long-standing relationship with Ballantine, In Wildness is the Preservation of the World is a "popularly-priced" copy of Sierra's original, large- format $25 edition. In joining with Ballantine, the club is pre- senting a true service to those who could not afford the more expensive. Accompanying Porter's photographs, which appear on every lefthand page, are excerpts from Thoreau, each specifically ad- dressed to the subject of the facing photo. Together, the visual and the literary comprise an elegant and eloquent plea for all of us to stop and look before we destroy. There is no stopping short in offering a recommendation for this book. I only suggest that you stop at a bookstore, pick up a copy and turn to any page at random. After looking at what it has to offer, you will feel compelled to buy it.

Willett With an introduction by Senator Edward W. Brooke 25 A PENGUIN PAPERBACK ORIGINAL WHY THE DRAFT? is a book that every thoughtful American will want to read, consider and discuss in this important election year. Seven young political economists take a critical but objective look at the draft in all its aspects and at the alternatives to it. They conclude that conscrip- tion in any form is inequitable and then examine in detail the advantages and.problems of a volunteer army. "This is an excellent piece of work by a group of men of sound professional training and of the rele- vant age and concern.
