Dolores was an Impossible Woman from the start. She was part Scots and part Armenian, Flamboyantly selfish, appallingly bad-mannered, devastatingly vain. In fact, she was a caricature rather than a human being. But a caricature that lived.

Finally, he found he had to flee from her, at any cost. He began to think of life as "a wild scramble to entangle and get away, a fantastic with people of struggling lassors, hooks, crooks, nets, adhesive ribbons, chains and handcuffs." And that was the beginning of the end.

FACTS
about New Zealand
OCIALISTS who would like to make their praise of the New Zealand Labour Government not less warm but more discrimina- ting will find Socialism In New Zealand (Werner Laurin, 10s. Od.) Interesting and profitable.
The author is John A Lee. M.P., Under-Secretary to Parliamentary Walter Nash, the Minister of Fliance. The book contains masses of fact but is made easy to read by racy writ- ing and plenty of personal opinion and comment
One thing that stands out has been the important part played in the suc- cess of New Zealand Labour by the existence of a large "socialised sector of industry, which made planning cury.
* * *
In
M. Blum found planning difficult be cause the "Bocialised sector France is small He is reported to have seen this, and to have wanted to increase it, but the Communuts, as in Britain, were against socialisation in case the Liberals should take right,
Other things to note are Mr. Lee's contempt for the Soviet Union's brand of Socialism "Ask how much. humanity is being advanced and you find yourself confronted with a chart of cement tonnage "). bis belief in the need for compromise i democracy is to work and his unboastful confidence that New Zealand Labour can see the job through.
* * *
Most Labour lenders in this country will find the amount of economic nationalism in Mr. Lec's conception of Socialism rather surprising, (barter, protection and exchange control altract him). They will note; too. that New Zealand Labour does not agree with Bwedish Lavour: that the State should retrench in periods of boom and expand only in slumps. New Zealand Labour expands all the time.
What the result of this will be the
