Friends and Enemies Favor "Red Network- Not many books are given a "favor- able" attention bv both their friends and *enemies, but sucb is the case with "<The Red Network" byMrs. Albert Dillihg of Kenilworth. On May 24 the- League for Industrial Demotracy, a socialist organization,. sponsoreci a dinner in Chi- cago for aIl those listed. in "The Redi Network." Tbe affair was called "The Red Net work Dinner" and was attended by some 250 persons. One of the speak-, ers was Norman Thomas, who was escorted in hy Carl Hessler. A tele- gram of best wishes was sent by Tom Mooney, ,Anarchist-Communist, ,now imprisoned in the San 'Quentin (Cal.) pienitentiary, who also expressed bhis regret' at not being able to attend. ' One of the friends of "The Reýà Network," Congressman H a m i I t o n Fish, recornmended 'the book for the lenged than tbey erations, but be i that freedom is. carnation in ai ciple8. niew, ini- of prin-. , It' is in the Englisb-speaking countries cbiefly," he says, "thatthese new pr!nciples are" being wrougbt out. Tbey are being applied experiment- ally, not without confusion, hesitation, andi contradictions,. NeYertbeless, in, the maze of. measures takenin.the British Commonwealth and in tbe United States, and also in the Scan- dinavian countries, there is now dis- cernable the pattern of a new social policy.". Mr. Lippmann does not attempt' to examine in, detail tbe measures takeni. in tbese countries during the past decade, but' be. states clearly. and forc ibly the general.principles wbicb bave animated these measures and by means of whicth, as be sees 'it, "4a nation possessing a highly developçd ~economy and habituated to fretedoin can make freedom secure amidst the disorders of the modern world." The Metbod of Freedom is a sane, impartial discussion of the means by Wbich a modern government can iný- sure to its people their standard of living' and at the same time inake liberty secure.

C.hnuanood tells xurtner incidens in the life of the littie girl who was born in a Swedish manor bouse ini 1858, and who like the heroine of a fairy tale be- came the most famous woman writer of her country.

Lagerlôf's best. qua lities ýare shown in stories like, ber Wonderfi4l Adven- titres Af Nits wbich the Swedish gov- ernment asked 'ber- to write, in order to -preserve Swedish, folklore. Sôtue- thing of the saine spirit is found in the* present. volume about ber. own child- hood.' There are many touching little incidents - ber vow to read the- Bible. f rom -beginning to end in an leffort to restore her father's health; the bail' wherce no one danced. with. ber because ,she was lame, and the last .one where she haîf understood the fear of the loss of ber home wbich lay back of ber motber's weeplng. the sale of the two Nils books en- abled ber to buy back Marbacka which had been sold after ber father's death.
