“Not the least part of the beauty of this telling of them is that, for all his Norse subject, Mr Colum is as usual invincibly Irish.”

COMERFORD, FRANK. New world. *$2 Appleton 335
20–17097
The author has made a tour of Europe to study our present day world problems. He claims to have made a thorough study from every conceivable point of view. He blames bolshevism and socialism for all the chaos. He sympathizes with labor but fears its methods of redress and is absolutely opposed to everything that threatens law and order. Among the contents are: Problems facing a stricken world; The problem of Europe’s poverty; A tragedy of politics; Russia out of balance; The soviet machine; Clash of fact and theory; The failure of the socialization of industry; The third international; Intermeddling in Russia; Bolshevism in the United States. There are appendices consisting of various documents.
“Frank Comerford’s ‘The new world’ combines a sane and temperate judgment with a firm, intellectual grasp of his subject.”
