Mr. Mac ‘ admitted s book dealing nowadays with intorrlatlonn-l events might be mrt-of-date before it was published. But his own work takes on lustre in the glare of the recent crisis. Strangely true in prophecy it is frankly enlightening in cause and affect. The author of these live}? flhfi-P- ters is virtually s. Canadian. Born in New York he grow up in Toronto where his father, Dir. B. E. McKen- zie, pioneered in orthopedic sur- gery. Vernon McKenzie 8104110955 from the University of Toronto and took his M. A. at Harvard. In 1915 he inlisted as a private in the Can- adian forces, was promoted to lieu- tenant and ended his war service in 1018 with a crash in France while an officer of the RAW-l All‘ Force. Before and athei- one war he served as reporter and editor on a dozen different newspapers and magazines in Canada and the Unit- ed States. At length, in 1020. he rather amused his Canadian friends by making a ham)! lfindini Seattle as dean of the school of journalism, University of Wash- lngion.

Such is the broad set- up for his chronicles. Mr. McKenzie observed: while thfl extent to which 7,000,000 Austrians might attempt to prevent absorp- tion was uncertain there was 1w uncertainty in the case of 16,000,000 Czechs. The world now prattyiwell has the answer on. the Allstrlfl-ns- On the other hand: “Czechoslovakia has the B11111"- lent of the French Maginct line elem a large part of its 1,500 miles of territorial oOntlQuity with G61”- many.

One must remem- ber there would be no such crass action as marching German troops across the Czech. fronlcr. It would be more subtle than that. For 1n- aiance the German minorities might be ill-treated and stage a riot. a few Gernoans killed. "Hitler announces he is sending a ‘police’ force to save German lives and property. The police force becomes an army. There may be no war but before the democracies get around to action Germany has an army in Czechoslovakia. Then --try to get it out." 1n one of those interviews which are the luck 0i McKenzie, President Edouard Bones tails him Czech independence must be maintained for the worldb sake. Tile Coach chieftain is quite sure he would be fighting no lone-hand struggle. His country is described as a Being concern; Austria a consistent bank- rupt. The book sees Franz von Papen, German minister to Austria earn- ing a boost the veteran trouble maker probably needed as a non- member of the Nazi inner circle. "He will get the areal bl! Credit with the Fuehrer when he en- nounces Austria is ready for the anschluss." The author thinks Uncle Sam's headache of great war years achieved his previous shrewdest success during the “bloody purge" of 1034 when he managed to stay alive. Having delivered Austria he will have s. new lease oi life. Mr. McKenzie believes a world war before 1940 is improbable. Fur- thermore if the world can 8e‘. along until 1940 without a general con- flagration it is possible to escape perhaps for a generation “D0 not expect iniemntlonal tranquility. . . .
