French to the core (which thinks itself sounder than that of any other nation) he looks about him in his travels with a penetratingly shrewd eye. On a swift tour of South America two years ago he wrote a series of diary letters to friends in France, telling what he thought about what he saw. Collected, they make a short book (192 pp.) but a brightly written, informative one. In the Canal Zone, Traveler Siegfried...
