DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN THE HUCKSTERS by Frederic Wakeman, Rine- hart and Co., Inc. New York, 307 pages. $2.50 THE HUCKSTERS is Ferderic Wakernan's sec- ond novel. His first, Shore Leave, was quite Domine Says ioion 'D~terorato f AUGUST CARDINAL HLOND, speaking in Warsaw this week, augustly attributed the Kielce pogrom of July 4 to "deterioration" in the internal situation in Poland "due to Jews who today occupy leading positions in Poland's gov- ernment and try to introduce a governmental structure which a majority of the people do not desire." "If there are fatal battles on Poland's politi- cal fronts it is to be regretted that some Jews lose their lives . . . ", he continued. As the cardinal expressed his polite regrets, hkundreds of Jews were reported by the Assciated Press to be illegially crossing the Polish border into Czechoslovakia. According to AP, "The ar- riving fugitives told of thousands more within Poland who are moving toward mountain passes which to them meant security.' Mountain passes are the avenues to security for European Jews today. Mountain passes which lead out, away from street battles, beat- ings, and priestly hypocrites. ^There' is little peace in peacetime Europe for the millions who bore the worst of the Nazi oppression. Today they bear the worst of post-war -misery as little Europeans cast about for someone to step upon in an attempt to restore the pre-war status quo. The only hope of peace, of the slim half-freedom of opportunity, is in escape. American and British officialdom know about the Jews. Everybody knows about the Anglo- American commission's report. urging in the strongest terms that Palestine be opened to 100 million hopeless European Jews. .But Britain changed its imperial mind about their commis- sion, when they heard its report. And Foreign Minister Bevin assailed American demands that Palestine be opened with a sneering, "They don't want them in New York." Americans were righteously indignant at the time. New York's Senators Wagner and Mead even sent a telegram of protest. But Bevin's nasty remark referred not to a city or state, but to a port and an immigration policy. The same day the Jews were running for temporary refuge in Czechoslovakia, Earl G. Harrison, whom President Truman appointed to investigate misplaced, persons -abroad, made a rather startling statement in Detroit. According to Harrison, Truman's December directive for admitting a full quota of European refugees to the United States has not been carried out. As reported by AP, the Polish cardinal con- cluded his statement with a remark which inci- dentally, gives evidence of the shaky ground contemporary moralists stand on. "The Catholic Church always, everywhere, condemns murders of all kinds, he declared." So, indubitably, do Foreign Minister Bevin and -the-U.S. State De- partment. Yet their, shall we say, hesitancy, amounts to a toleration of last week's murders, and to a complicity in next week's. -Milt Freudenheim Truman-Taft Contest President Truman's OPA veto message was the strongest state document he ever prepared. It was temperate, sincere, and almost humble. He knew that wrath and confusion would fol- low. He knew that the easiest course was to sign the bill. Hadn't that great and good man Herbert Hoover signed the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act over the protests of 1,028 economists, know- ing full well in his heart how vicious it was? . ..Whatever else is written, history will have to put this down for Harry Truman. At a mo- ment of great crisis, when the easiest thing to do was to do nothing, when a more glamorous figure might have yielded, when it was so easy to shift responsibility and say "Yes" and betray his country, he said "No." He said "No" res- olutely. He said "No" with bells on it. And in so doing it became clearer to some, perhaps, what President Roosevelt may have been think- ing in Chicago, in 1944, when he accepted Tru- man as his running-mate. " h Pn.r2-+ m,ar.taa hisfie rtimcunario at TN OUR AGE men seem to need something more than knowledge, power, wealth and free- dom. All of these we Americans possess in a large degree. Yet we are neither stable nor happy. If we look at the statistics which show 20% of the 4-F's rejected in part because of mental unfitness, 15% of the veterans being sent to physicians of the emotions, and 50% of all patients in hospital beds of the United States having some contributing mental sickness, one must admit that our culture has failed to deliver either stability or happiness. We need security, say the social scientists, safety from the ma- chine, annual income, a world government effec- tive in control of atomic energy, social security distributing at one end of society what we can extract by taxation at the other extreme. Not freedom but security is the electric word in our era. Give us that and both stability and happi- ness will be ours. Yes, but that is inadequate. The next group having a remedy are the idealistic philosophers who advocate faith. Ralph Flewelling, one of our ablest Personalists, re- cently closed a treatise saying, "Religion as fait%- upholds men in the deepest experiences, en- abling them to face tragedy like gods." Except for the faith which men of science exhibit in an hypothesis, or engineers show in construc- tions of their own design, or the financiers dis- play in acumen to turn natural resources into profit, faith is inconspicuous. Faith takes hold on things that as yet are not seen and creates them into reality. Faith of that sort is adequate for our particular epoch, say the Theists. But we recall that Goethe once declared that, "He who possesses science and art also has'religion." This is the third remedy with real merit. Such observers as John Dewey insist that human societies with all the stub- bornness of established folkways have suc- ceeded in criticizing and changing their own behavior for all sorts of reasons. Some way, man has come to be a self-critical and aspir- ing animal "bent on becoming at home," says Robert Calhoun, "in a world that includes both things as they are and possibilities of things as they ought to be." A complicated animal, this man, says the Pragmatist. Hence, each person must be studied as a specific unit and we must draw a reaction profile of ap- proximately sixty physical, mental and emo- tional factors before we can save any mother's son of the whole distorted human race. In search of this undeclared satisfaction, the- istic naturalists, our fourth resource, such as John Boodin speak up poetically about creativ- ity. "We must not forget that God is a social God and that He is present with his creative grace whenever men meet in sacramental devo- tion and there creates a new bond. He is present wherever men cooperate earnestly with th whole abandon of their souls in any great hu- man cause, guiding and making sane and fruit- ful their counsels and endeavors." Then Boodin ventures that, "He is a God that works in human relations. Wherever kind, pure, and wholesome bonds are created there He adds the divine ingredient which sublimates their loyalty and makes them nobler than they are. It is the fruit of such relations which makes solitude significant." In this the Prophets and Jesus excelled. That idea is reinforced by two other scholars who have written on God, Alfred N. Whitehead and Henry N. Wieman. The former declared that "There is a wisdom in the nature of things from which flow our direction, our practice and our possibilities of theoretical analysis of fact." "It is grounded," says Whitehead, (Religion in the Making, page 143) "upon two sources of evidence: (1) upon our success in various special theoretical sciences, physical and otherwise, and (2) upon our knowledge of or discernment of ordered relationships, especially in aesthetic val- uations which stretch far beyond anything which has been expressed systematically in words." But as if that were not insistence enough as to God and mutual relations, he says, "Religion insists that the world is a mutually adjusted disposition of things in value for its own sake." "This is the very point," says the Harvard mathematician, "that science is always forgetting." For Whiteheads God is (1) that function in the world by reason of which our purposes are directed to ends and (2) He is that element in life in virture of which judgment stretched beyond facts of existence to values of exist- ence. (3) He is that element in virtue of which our purposes extend beyond values for ourselves to values for others, and (4) God is that element in virtue of which the attain- ment of such values for others transforms itself into values of ourselves. These are some of the ways I have learned to reach for meaning and to grasp a measure of stability and happiness. -Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religious Education successful and those who read and liked it were eagerly awaiting the publication of his second. When The Hucksters appeared many of them were disappointed, and with good reason. The book is an indictment of the radio adver- tising business and of the values of the people in the field. The general public is only too well acquainted with the results of the work of these people. We have only to turn on the radio at almost any time during the day to see what Mr. Wakeman was driving at. He shows us how these results are achieved from the inside. But so much of the book is devoted to the pure business-deal aspects that it becomes very boring at times. And it seems as though the rest of the book is devoted to showing the sexual cor- ruption of most of the people involved. There is little connection between these parts of the novel and the parts describing the radio adver- tising business. The one seems to be a come-on to the public in the hope that the author's mes- sage will get across unnoticed. The Hucksters is written in fairly good Hem- ingway style. Another sheep has entered the fold, but he will lose his identity among all the other Hemingway-imitator sheep, if he does not get out. Then, too, there is very little depth to his characters. Most of them are standard types appearing in many of the current novels. Of course, the book is hardly long enough to permit character development. Its purpose is obviously didactic, and much of the criticism is also very obvious. Mr. Wakeman is not at all subtle in his presentation, not necessarily a fault unless one is partial to subtle writing. He undoubtedly knows what he is writing about, but he has not made a very good novel out of the material. It is in general very superficial. On the other hand, it is not so bad as some of the other cur- rent popular choices. -Margery Wald General Library List Camus, Albert The Stranger, translated from the French by Stuart Gilbert.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT - Political Lag - By SAMUEL GRAFTON os ANGELES - The debate over price con- trol gave us, for a moiient, the appearance of a people still deeply concerned with political developments; but the sound waves are sub- siding, and the death-like calm of the postwar political lag begins to reassert itself. The coun- try remains politically inert; the most that comes up, from time to time, is a good-sized twitch. Washington seems far away from the rest of the land; and one-remembers, with a desolate kind of feeling, hew close Washington seemed to every city and town, not so long ago, in the days of Roosevelt and Willkie. With those two men alive, the debate over price control would have been very different. Yet their deaths alone do not account for the difference. Something has gone out of Amer- ican life with them, but it was perhaps al- ready going before they died. What is this quality which has been evaporating from American life during the last few years. It seems to me that it was a quality of concilia- tion and hope, a feeling that there were liberal-minded men who could act as media- tors between right and left, who could separate the two factions, and yet join them, keeping them apart and also together, and helping us to maintain an ultimate faith in unity, both of men within nations and, on another scale, between nations. Americans who have always been anti-Russian, have taken over the theoretical defense of our foreign policy, while the Russians have eagerly, almost gleefully, agreed to join battle. Those liberal-minded Americans who believe in con- ciliation and progress have been dropped by both sides; they have been pushed out of posi- tion by our Russophobes, and they obtain scant comfort from Russia, whose recent public cri- ticisms of the United States contain no recogni- tion of the fact that we have vast numbers of citizens who do seek a good and peaceful world. We could expect our reactionaries to ignore the American liberal movement, if they could. What has done even more damage has been the. casual Russian consignment of the American liberal movement to political perdition, leaving no operating base upon which to mount that en- thusiasm for one world which made Roosevelt and then Willkie. And if there is a political lag, it is perhaps a sign of the ebbing of moderation, as men who once were participants become, first, uneasy spectators, and then turn away to small- er and more manageable concerns.
