...both in these 20 stories and sketches. Though one or two would look well in any wardrobe, most of these Russian shorts are made to hang on a Soviet peg. An "artist in uniform," as Critic Max Eastman calls Author Romanof (TIME, May 14), he usually points a Marxian moral with no uncertain finger. U. S. readers will prefer those stories which their author has not underlined...
...sees it in operation he finds it a form of state socialism. He quotes Russian leaders to this effect and cites their professed hope that at some time in the middle distance--a hundred years hence perhaps--communism may become an achieved fact. Doctrinaire socialism of the Marxian type he did not find in operation. Indeed, with democracy, he thinks it dead the world over. The one live political dogma is Fascism...
...there has been a swarm of soothsayers laying down the law, but rarely have their tables of stone weathered the drizzle of a single generation. Of the modestly minor interpreters of the modern U.

...eyes of French editors, long used to Marxian proposals for a capital levy or seizure of prosperous people's wealth, President Roosevelt's devaluation move seemed precisely that. They concluded that his 40% to 50% devaluation of the dollars in every U. S. citizen's pocket will so cheapen the U. S. national debt that in "real money" it will be less under President Roosevelt this year than it was under President Hoover...
