Whose latest novel U about "The Girl Frem Mentana" who passes through a. let of trouble before she finds content WHAT NEXT IN EUROPE Discussed by Jehn Maynard Keynes and Frank A. Vanderlip There are twd parts te "A Revision of the Treaty" (Harcourt, Brace & Ce.), which Jehn Mnynard Keynes has written as a Bequcl te "The Economic Consequences of the Pence." The first nnd grenter part of the book Is devoted te a historical rcstime of the various efforts that have beep made te put the Versailles Treaty Inte effect since it wns rntlficd. The second part contains Prof. Keynes plan for extricating the world from its present economic com plications. . .... The historical part of the volume Is net controversial, even though the pur pose of Prof. Keynes In writing it Is te prove thnt the criticisms of the treaty made in his earlier book have been justified by the outcome. It is cer tainly true that the' economic sections have net been enforced, and it is nlse true thnt nrrnngements nrc mnking for a conference In Gcnen te consider the economic condition of Europe. The conference will find it impossible te avoid n discussion of the rcpnrntien clnuscs of the treaty. In the part of the book devoted te the remedy. Prof, Keynes insists thnt these he nre net prepared te consider the cancellation In part, at least, of the inter-Allied debts ns well as a reduc tion in the reparations demands, ' must net pretend te it serious interest in the leconstructien of Europe." The chief ehstnele in the way of the cancellation of tlie intci-Allled debts he finds te be the feeling in the United States that the money lent by Amcricn should be repaid. But, lie remarks, the nations which ewe the money cannot pay it new- nnd no one knows whether they ever will be able te pay it. He leeks te a mere definite recognition of the debt te America and In lime te its can cellation. In this view lie is partly supported by Finnic A. Vanderlip In "What Next in Europe?"' Mr. Vanderlip would like te see the debt funded en the understanding that a sum equal te the interest shall he spent each )cur in nssistlng the bankrupt nations le get bnck en their feet through the development of ngii ngii culture nnd industry. These two books ought te be lend by every one who wisltes te understand the unsolved prob lem thnt is standing in the way of an enrly recovery of trade.

WORTH WATCHING A Yeung English Novelist Who Shows Signf of Premise Te these who lake a real Interest In things lltcrnry, Just one forewerd: Watch Michael Arlcn. This young Englishman who Is .mak ing his maiden plunge Inte the world of letters with "The Romantic Lndy" (Dedd.'Mend & Ce.) starts with much In his fnjrer nnd few handicaps. A distinctive Btyle of plot creation, some indefinable twist thnt can take the ctcr. nnl trlnnsle nnd make It seem ottegonal without losing its marital geometric shape, n clever Insight Inte things psycolegical nnd a happy faculty of expression an incsc nru u. itn n and mere. It Is only when lje attempts te delve Inte lengthier form of story telling thnt he fleundera. And then the fault of tee many of the British story tellers of today comes te the fore. Hense nf nlnr. of characterization, of Interest are lest in n profundity of words. "The Romantic Lndy" is a collec tion of four short stories or rather of four studies of the mental vagaries of the eternal feminine with n close scan" nlng of the mental gymnastics of the sterner sex. In nt lenst two of his stndies, "The Romantic Lady" and "Consucle," Mr. Arlcn treats of the amorous tricks of two unconventional ' women uncon ventional te use a mild, hackneyed ex nresslnn. nut vv-ithnl. the twist of the plot in cech Is se sudden nnd unexpect ed as almost te' merit being termed worthy of dc Mnupnssant. , In "The Remance of Iris Peele" Mr. Arlcn flounders merely because he has tee much te say. He has drawn nn nt times vivid picture, of the love of two brothers a love for each ether that becomes enmeshed around a pas sion for one woman. Fraternal feeling, shattered by ordinary petty pride, by little thin that oren un In everyday life nnd estrnnged by the life of a wemnn means n deneument certain tn hnnler en trnircdy. And the trngedy Is there, though blunted In effect through prolixity. Fer one who cares te rend a coming nutlier in the mnking nnd nt the same time te gain nn Interesting Insight Inte the mental quirks nnd twists that make up the routine of the most presnic life, "The Romantic Lndy'" Is worth mere than casual attention.

A REVIEWER REVIEWED Hj VERITAS "IXELL en In a four-column review '"of "The Great Deception," by Samuel Colcord, In a Brent newi. l paper, the reviewer said: "It my be conceded thnt the author hu thus far proved his contention, that i Judged by all recognized standard! '. of party opinion and party action, the Republican Party, at the begin, nlng of the tampalgn, at least, steed committed In case of victory at th"'!l polls te some form of league or as sociation with ether nations of th world." He then devoted a column te present, without support of facta, his own personal view that nil tlies Republican obligations faded away between June and November, nnd asked aa te the mandnte of th )1 election, "was It a mandate te de what the Republican Party wanted in June, or what the Republican Party wanted" en the morning of Xevembcr 2?" This wns followed with this entirely untrue statement, "Mr. Colcord thinks that the June verdict Bheuld prevail in determining the policy of President Harding." The (probably unintentional) un fairness of that statement will be , plainly evident te any reader of theYfl book, who will at once see that If 12 the reviewer had really read It ht would have found the dates In cbld type te tell him that It was net In June, but en October 14th, when tht three pre-eminent Republican lead era, Reet, Hughes and Taft, Joined by twenty-eight ether eminent Re publicans, issued their assurance t the Republican voters that Repub lican success In the election meant entry Inte the League with reserva tions, or seme ether continuing soci ety of nations, and that they con tinued thnt attitude te the end. It was net in June, but October 20th. when at Bloemlngton, Indiana., Mr. Taft made Ills strongest pronounce ment te the same' effect. It w-na all through the campaign that Mr, Hoever, Governer Lewdcn and Gen. ernl Weed, the three most popular candidates for the Republican neral. nation, with scores of ether Impert, nut Republican leaders, made plain the snme position. It was later than June when even Scr.nter Ledge In Ills letter te Ocorge It. Bishop said he had net changed his position of readiness te ratify the League Coie Ceie nant with reservations, nnd added that the platform had net repudiated thnt nosltlen. It wim til) te the last iluy of the campaign thnt mete than v leu important itepunucan nein papers urged the election of Harding en the same grounds. It was net. In June, but en the 28th of August, and later In every important speed) of the campaign up te the day e( election, thnt Senater Harding pledged an association of nations cr IhA Leacun "amended nr revised If It Is se entwined nnd lntervecn In '.' the peace of Europe that Its goon must be pieserved." The party platform adopted In June wai the platform for nil the cam paign and presumably for all tn following Republican Administra tion in its plcdge . of "nn Inter national association based upon International Justice ... no that the nations may exercise their In fluence and power for the pretentien of wur." The party record, the only i ecerd It ever had en this question ' this and only this support of tnt l.cague of Nations with the Lodge Ledge MeCumber compromise reservation, continued te be the record until tne votes were cast, unless It was partly merged Inte the party platform quoted above, which Is all the advo cates et international union for peacu new nsk for. And there is very much mere. Urged by all thM assurances, the Republicans cast their votes for Harding.
