The New Deal People are not buying .so many books, these days; but ^oj;! books art' selling more than they did.

In the pa.-'t ten da>s? I have received no: less than six books discussing the New Deal froiiv
  • ook, "The Challenge to Liberty." Mr. Hoover is not a literary stylist. He writes plainly, directly and often bluntly. It is hardliv necessary to sav thai * ? * he doesn't approve of the New Deal. Many of its objectives, he agrees as all sensible liberal-minded men agree, are not only woitthy but necessary. What Mr. Hoover fears is that, in trying to arrive ait economic security by a short-cut, the An^erican people may be sacrificing liberties which I they can never regain. Wihat Mr. Hoover has to say about the tendency of bureaucracy to |>er petuate itself and expand its fune t ions arises from his own experience and observation. And what he says about the control of business by Gov crnment and what its consequences may be provides food for deep thought. WALLACE ... an honest view I have long maintained that the most perfectly-functioning brain in the Roosevelt Administration is thai of Henry Wallace, Secretary of Ag riculture. Mr. Wallace is capable of seeing both sides of any subject and of thinking things through to their logical conclusions. Now Mr. Wallace has found Itime to write a book, entitled "New Front iers." It is not a compilation id' speeches and public statements, but a fresh record of events and issues as they have appeared to him a-s a member of the Roosevelt Cabinet. Mr. Wallace, naturally, approaches his subject from a different angle from tliiii from which Mr. Hoover views' the Washington scene. I gel the impression that he is not entirely satisfied; frith the way things have worked out for the fanner, and if he had t^je shaping of a new Agricul tural Adjustment Act it wonlkH be quite a different piece of wor'k. IMPARTIAL . . . on-partisan Another Wallace ? rProfessor Schuy ler C. Wallace, who holds. the chair of Public Law at Columbia Univers ity ? has written a book which give*, to the average reader a clearer-' aiid" isore understandable picture of the New, Deal than . yjiy single .^volywjc 1 have seen. Professor - -Wallace, while sympathetic, seems to have_proj. served,* a non-parfisan, impartial jioihfe^iicw. To the facts about the varitoi^phases of the efforts of the Administration he adds his own com ments and interpretations, which 1 would hesitate to indorse as a whole but which are "'plainly and fairly st&iejl. ' . i ' For the average" reader, this is [?er liaps the most generally useful book of the lot 011 my de-k. CONTROVERSIAL . . . from ranks James P. Warburg, who was one of President Roosevelt's economic advisers until they parted companj over the Aduinist ration?* monetary policy, has written "It's Up to Us, i highly cwteitaini'iff l>ook on a little understood subject? money and bank ing. Jim Warburg knows his subject. He says that the New Deal is like a calf with five legs, but that is be cause the American people wanted n five-legged calf. David Lawrence, as nrofouud ? thinker as there is in the ranks of ! journalism, in his "Beyond the New Deal,'*' tries to follow through to tht 1 ultimate consequences of the moit ' important efforts that are being mad< to achieve recovery.
