With Will B. Bird

Never before in Canadian book publishing, history has there been such is sweeping maintenance of lower American prices for the DBIIEHO of the Can- adiuii reader.

MONSOON by G.l-I. Johnston; Dnlill. Mead so 00.: 93-50-

Rciidcrs will remember that some gyme ago 3 review Of "HIZII VI-"BY" gppeafed in this column, the work of a husband and wife team. Mr- and Mrs. G.H. Johnston. Now. for the first time. Mr. Johnston goes it alone. nnd does a remarkably fine job. High valley was an unusually good book. The Johnstons are Aus- tralians. and know whereof the! write, Monsoon is really an un- usual love story. extremely well- ii-ritien and quite amazing in its emotions. The author handles every sllllfllion cleverly. even the old one of a man imprisoned for a. crime he did not commit,

The wronged man had been an oiiicer in a British regiment sta- tinned in India. and Mr- Johnston add.-' greatly to his” story with his

'ctures oi the Indian scene. his revelations of Indian mentality and spirit. We want to know how those gfcnnie regarded the English after ....i;.....; occupation of their land. and in this novel you are intro- duced to the situation with candor ari.l clarity. The man who was caslrlered, Michael Casey. beclllm bitter toward life during his in)- p:-isnnment and when leased turn- ed in painting. He stayed in India. for he was interested in its peo- ple. nnd he wanted to put upon c.-invas the soul of-the country.

In good time. and with real skill. the author introduces Casey to a rhiriniiig American girl, and they become interested in each other. The girl is not hampered by con- ventions and has plenty of in- tolllgence. She soon sizes up Gaul"! bitterness toward the British who rule the country.-They were at Bciiares when the monsoon came and an epidemic of riots began. It seemed as if the violence that had lain dormant so long was suddenly released. Bands of riotcrs fought ea.-ii other, and then turned against ihc British, Casey. of course, was on the side of the Indians. Mid they soon regarded him as one of their champions. The military found out about him. dug up his discharge papers and soon condemned him a second time fcr wrong he had not done. Mr. Johnston shows his mast- rry ni fiction when he brings in rcprcsciitatives of two of the rul-

ing castes as close personal friends of Casey. There is great play of loyalty and frendship. so well done that it makes the reader feel bet- ter ior knowing the book. Balance is kept by bringing in the old Brit- Isli sense of fair play, and all ends weil.

ii is not enough to say that this hnak presents a new picture of In- dia. that the descriptive writing is superb. Mr. Johnston has shown his readers glimpses behind the ordinary curtain of life. one is given an understanding of the emotions and tempera that sway the people of India, and the influence of ne- ilirc is portrayed. Not many writ- crs know the Orient intimately. Not many can place the philosophy of us people on paper. Few writ- ers of this decade can equal the work of this Australian. Here is a sampling:

"The rains came with no other warning than the descent of the black and straining pregnancy of tho clouds. A few drops. scattered and huge. fell hissing into the al- leyway and the glossy stains shone for .1 moment like silver rupees and then were sucked into the warm. riivsorbcnt. polished stones.

Britain this week appointed one of her top air strategists to take over urd expand British development of guided missiles. '

The Ministry of Supply, in charge of the high-priority devel- opment of guided missiles since the war. announced that from now on this work will be directed by Sir Alec Coryton, 55-year-old Air Force veteran.

Coryion coinrnuided an R. A. 1'. bomber group in 1003 then became senior air staff officer in the Mid- dle East. 'In 1944 he commanded the Third Tactical Air Force in Southeast Asia. .

Coryton will be responsible for accelerating and coordinating work on research. development and pro- duction of robot weapons. The ministry said the guided-missiles program would form an important part of Britain's new re-armament plan.

Little news has leaked out about Britain's preparations for "pu.sh- button" warfare. but the new fact: so far made public indicate that they are well advanced.

The R. A. F. has fuier-ihan- sound robot models flying. The Royal Navy is experimenting with guided rocket! from ships. With

Britain To Expand Her Guided Missile Program

for greater range and accuracy than naval gun: can achieve. even with the latest methods of radar Ore-control.

The wu-time-developed proxim- ity fuae. causing a shell to explode automatically when it gets near its target, has been improved so that rockets, shells and torpedoes can be radio-directed. radIi'-llli'l- ed, automatically guided and auto- matically exploded.

Expert-I here say there is at present little possibility of sending an atom bomb in a, rocket carrier. but rocket warheads can easily carry deadly radio-active products capable of contaminating a con- siderable ares. '

The present disadvantage of this conception. howevcr.ls that fission products of a suitable kind cannot be stored, bu-t would have to be loaded directly from the produc- ing atomic pile.

In Britain. guided- isslle devel- opment is concerned mainly with robot aircraft and the shorter- range weapons. Long-range heavy rockets are being tested over the inland wunes of- Australia. Spec- ial fuels and motors for these roc- kets are being built in both coun- tries.
