...anti-fascist novels, written at 3,000 miles removed from fascist reality, are too often the sort which make a Führer out of every bully. James T. Farrell's Jew-hating young Brooklyn Irishman, a bellicose introvert who sells Father Moylan's Christian Justice, is a convincing individual in Tommy Gallagher's Crusade (Vanguard, $1), but the tract-like limitations of the story are implicit in the original title: Tommy Gallagher-American Storm Trooper. Mari Sandoz's third book, Capital City (Little, Brown, $2.50), lacks even a credible character. A panoramic, pamphlet-pat story...
...Anti-fascist in a typically Shavian way, Geneva makes fools rather than villains of the dictators. For that matter, it pretty well makes fools of everybody in the play. But at 83, G. B.

Its editorialists and columnists preached continued distrust of Nazi Hitler, continued cooperation with anti-Fascist men of goodwill, even a continued boycott of German goods which Soviet Russia was now pledged to buy. As a faithful organ of Soviet doctrine in the U. S., it also had to reprint Pravda's inspired injunction to the Russian people: "An end is being...
...news broadcasts of the B.B.C. are "straight and accurate." Actually, nothing could be further from the truth, as the B.B.C. is as Red as they make 'em, and its distorted, lying and slanderous statements are equalled only by the foreign-language broadcasts from Moscow and the nightly French, anti-Fascist "news" bulletins in Italian from Nice...
