discontent of the ' peasantry in the Ukraine Yet Mr Hindus believes that neither famine industrial breakdown change of policies or leaders can now halt the revolution its own momentum must carry it forward Only a war imposing a foreign rule on Russia can stop It The mighty offensive has been waged on two fronts the sociological as well as the economic and it is the victories achieved in remodeling the social order in reconstructing human personality that more than counterbalance economic defeats Considering developments in terms of curves he notes that the consumption curve has been steadily tending downward but those of construction' culture and psychology have been as steadily rising demonstrating he holds that “It is easier to reconstruct the human personality than to rebuild an economic order” it is this recasting of the human being that makes Russia so tremendously exciting for Mr Hindus In his chapter on the new “man" the new Russian Ideology he notes the most impressive and challenging feature as the strong aversion to the acquisition of wealth yet shows it is the meagerness of material returns that affects the Indus In the period when the great Soviet economic plan was in its first stages it was studied by any number of writers interested in the outcome of this unique attempt to industrialize a nation and its grandiose scheme of agricultural reform There were varied reports notably Calvin B Hoovers carefully written book and Mr Hindus’ own studies from the human standpoint This interest seemed to diminish as increasing economic difficulties in capitalistic countries engaged attention but Mr Hindus has continued his close watch of developments under the Soviet "offensive” His latest book written just as the r Plan was beginning second estimates what gains may be legitimately counted but does not minimize the extent of the deterioration of the standard of living nor ignore the fact that as the revolution advances still greater difficulties are to be faced The acuteness of the food problem (mitigated to some extent since his writing by an abundant harvest) is described the dispiriting “meat lines" the meagerness Five-Yea- Wealth of Eastern triousness of the mass of workers both In factories and on the land But incenttve is one thing and acquisiof wealth tiveness or accumulation quite another Mr Hindus aays no Russian leader even can be accused of seeking accumulation of riches “The new man in Russia" he concludes “has lost all fear of parental authority of family opinion of family position” (but something like that seems to have happened elsewhere) Also he has lost all fear of God his fear of sex (though the period of sex laxity has past) his fear of money the old fear of insecurity— this last though he sees no abundant security at present he has enthusiastic faith in the' new' society to create future security Whether he is to be approved or not the new Russian stands “a symbol of a new society" with its own set of prejudices and dogmas chief of which is that which exalts the worker Mr Hindus who is a thoughtful observer and esteemed one of the most authoritative reporters on the Russian situation has written a book whose every chapter is of value not the least interesting the concluding one' significantly titled "The Collapse of World Revolumi-teri- tion” Joyce Masterpiece Removed
