Rut the main reason probably E005 deeper than either of these circum- stances. Although France is a Re- public. French people in general are ox-trnnir-ly romantic by nature. inucli more so than the British people as 3 whole. And. while Rcpuhlit'aIiiSIlI may be an efficient and very demo- cratic form of government, there. is little in it to appeal to roman”? fanriris. llloiiarchy, on the other hand. is steeped in roiiiance.

The Battle Of Books it is often said that the "cold war" that is being waged between the Soviet Union and the Free World is a battle for men's minds. How. then, is the battle shaping up? Well. a report issued by the l.'nitecl Na- tions Educatioiial. Scientific and Cul- tural Organizatinii is, to say the least. far from reassuring to free men. It states. first of all. that the Bible is no longer the most widely circulated book. From 1948 to 193-"! it was published in 887 translations: and in 19.33. the last year covered by the report, there were fill trans- latinns. These figures were exceeded in the 2 year period by the writings of the Russian Revolutionary Lenin. which went through 968 translations. R71 tr:m.slations took place ill the year 19.33. As if this were not bad enough. third. fourth and fifth places were taken by Russian writers. Stalin's it orks VP('PlVf',fli' 689 translations since 1948 and 200 in 1933. in fourth and fifth places were the novelists Tols- toy and ('.orki. I Nor is the picture my more en- cvturairin: with P059991 '0 "limb" of books published. In 1933. 5 billion books of one kind and another came on the world's presses. Of these. Russian titles accounted for more than 1 trillion. thus faking first place with 54.000 titles. Japan came sec- and with 21.0fXt titles, the United Klnulom third with 20.000. West C-erinnriy fourth with 16.000. Sur- prisingly the United States produced I Inetc 121!!! titles. p Ii must not be supposed that all iifiitl, the Middii East. In all. 157 titles were published in languages not spoken anywhere in the soviet bloc. There is some suspicion abroad that UNESCO is unduly influenced by Soviet propagandists. if that is so, the figures given in the repoit may have been stretched a little in favor of the Russians. Even so. and allowing for an exaggeratioii here and there. the figures certainly do not justify Western complacency in this highly important field. A Fable ('ii't-iinislances alter cases.
