Thomas' recent book, published in Chicago by Publishing company. The author of this volume writes out of the conviction that "before putting forth any plan for the winning of even one freedof we have to win freedom from four serious national fears the fear of idealism, the fear of entangling alliances, the fear of England and Russia, and the fear of revolution."

It was these attitudes that to a large extent made possible the success of Lodge's conspiracy lust time, though few wl'O held them realized it, and with adroit handling they may bo used to the same piy pose again. It is therefore, of great importance that they be brought out into the open and candidly examined. This is what Senator Thnm.is does. Behind our attitude toward tdeulism he finds two contradic- tory tendencies: the impulse to play Santa Claus, and the fear of being duped. In politics, the latter usually wins: To let it win now is to give up all we are figh-in- g for. The fear of entangling alliances has much the same psychological basis, and the Senator seeks to dissipate it by examining the history of our foreign policy. There are some of the same elements in our fear of England. Every few weeks some journalist or politician discovers that we are being taken advantage of, and is willing to risk the harmony on which the successful prosecution of the war depends usually on the basis of an ignorant or willful misunderst Hiding. The history of our relations with Russia reveals no substantial ground for suspicion apart from oui antipathy to Communism Of particular interest in connection with Russias intentions toward the Baltic states is the author's resume of our own treatment of their status af-- I ter the last war.

The discussion Four of the Fears is supplemented by three additional chapters on "It Peace Dependent Upon Boundaries? "Freedom From Want or Freedom From Freedom?, and "Problems of Peace." Though these discussions may mar the formal symmetry of the boog, the sympathetic reader will welcome the fuller treatment of some of the pressing questions of the hour. Such are the economic bearings of freedom from want for all peoples, International cartels, the Importance of freedom of religion for all countries, the extension of international law and many others. Senator Thomas' residence in Japan and his knowledge of the Japnnesc language give him special authority in dealing with Far Eastern topics. Besides an appendix on Extraterritoriality in China, his book contains many evidences of a mastery of these subjects such as is possessed by only a very few men in public life. The book is a notable one in It is written in a many ways. straightforward style calculated to uppeal to the ordinary reader. It penetrates beyond the surface of current problems and exposes the principles, the prejudices and the passions that have to be reckoned with if the weikht of public opinion is to be gathered to induce Congress to support an effective plan for a peaceful world. It reveals the personality of a man who has already achieved prestige and influence his colamong leagues and who is sure to become more and more a national figure. And finally, since it comes from a member of the Senate, its courage and candor, its absence of anr pompousness, and its respect for facts, all suggest that that body may yet redeem itself and become an instrument of the aspirations of our people inrtead of a wrecker of its hopc3.

BECK SAYS HE DIDNT Dave Beck of Seattle, of the Teamsters Uiron, denies the story printed in this column several days ago to tho effect that he got top air travel priorities for a West Coast editor brought on to Washington to attend the President's speech before the Teamsters' banquet. The story was written just as told by the editor, but Beck says Mr. Editor was mistaken, it isn't so and it has done him a lot of harm.
