BY Wells Wells I -Appleton-Century. Wells Wells believes it's a wvoman's world. and says so witb wit, original- ity, and vigor in bis brilliant new vol- ume, Adani's Daighter (Appleton-Cen- tury). For ail of its unorthodox and challenging conclusions, this is no flip- pant or superficial work. Actually, it is a serious and coin- ,prehensive survey of the status of wom- an from prehistoric times to the present, in which the author contends that wom- an bas alwvays been and must continue to be the dominant factor in society; that she has always been a f ree moral - agent, and that she bas neyer been truly subservient to man. The validity of these tiieses is estab- lished by a striking reinterpretation of, biological, antbropological, and histor- ical facts, presented in sucbi a way as to disclose innumerable entertaining bits 1 of information and many fascinating- personlities-femininie geniuses of the past such as Tbeodora, Elizabeth, the Pompadour, and others.

His name bas been given to com- munist organizations sc at te re d through the United States, yet at the time of bis death in 1920 he wvas not a. communist. This startling dlaim is made by Jacob H.

Mr. Rubin reports at some length a private in- terview had with Jobn Reed sbortly before bis death from typhus in 1920. At tbe time Mr. Rubin was living in Russia, closely asFociated witb Soviet leaders. He reports Mr. Reed as fol- lows: "Tbis is the first time I bave bad a chance to speak out. I want to tell you bow terrible al this is. There is no freedomn here, no justice, no oppotunity, flot even enough bread for tbe masses and no hope.. I an horribly, boribly disillusioned. Are the people here any better off than in the United States? No! Has Communism accomplisbed anytbing? No! 1 bave been a socialist aIl my life. I still amn, in tbeory, but 1 can see now that the world will not be ready for socialismn for thousands of years. Look at your communist leaders and what they do wben tbey are in power. Except for Lenin and Trotsky and a few others, they are gafters, politicians, tbeorists or hope- less, foots. Everybody knows that the heads of the tchaika are accepting bribes, stealing, even killing, people to get their wealth. "XVben I have gitests in my own apartment I arn afraid to say any- tbing about the government or the officiaIs for fear that one of tbem may be- a spy. I met Emma Goîdman and Alexander Berkman beme, and even they are afraid to tell me wvhat tbey think for fear that I may betray them." Mr. Rubin's volume relates bis adventures in Russia, first as a soviet. sympathizer, later as an un- willing prisoner, and stili later the story of bis secret return to Rlssia ten years after bis first visit. -à 1
