...code, lost in the White House office for days (TIME, Feb. 11), was found. Promptly the President signed it, bringing the big tobacco companies after 18 months' delay into NRA. Hardly had the President done so when William Green, who had just come off second-best in an argument with him, declared the A. F. of L. keenly disappointed that the minimum wage of the code was 25? an hour. One kick Mr. Green could not make: that S. Clay Williams, as head of NIRB and erstwhile president of R. J.

He has connected argument for war-resistance with living, personal situations in a way that ought to bring them home to many who would read them in formal declarations only with a closed mind. The book will hold the interest of a large group of people who would stop on the second page of a systematic exposition. And the earnestness of the book and the convincing way in which it sets forth the author's point of view may lead some...
