ORGANIZATION, BOOKS, PLANNING, NONFICTION
Abstract

This article presents information on the book "Weatherman," edited by Harold Jacobs. Harold Jacobs' book is narrow and unsatisfactory. This is not to say, however, that it is without value within limits it sets for itself. Arranged chronologically, the material in Weatherman consists of most of the significant papers, leaflets and articles produced by the organization Weatherman itself; a collection of critical essays by some of Weatherman's best known friends and enemies on the Left; and Harold Jacobs' analysis of Weatherman and revolutionary strategy, which may be found in the introductory paragraphs to various sections.

Abstract

This article discusses the book "Problems of the Pacific, 1933. Proceedings of the Fifth Conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations, Banff, 1933." There are two papers in this volume by Chinese delegates, which deserve special mention. One, by Gideon Chen, is entitled "Chinese Government [Nanking] Economic Planning and Reconstruction," the other is "The Agrarian Problem in China," by Chen Han-seng. Gideon Chen's report seems to have been one of the chief propaganda bids for foreign capitalist loans and investments in China.

BOOKS -- Reviews, PSYCHOANALYSTS, NONFICTION
Abstract

The article presents information about the book "From Thirty Years With Freud," by Theodor Reik. This is a collection of papers which have previously been published elsewhere, in full or in part. The layman might find them not too enlightening, while the professional psychoanalyst is supposed to be acquainted with the data offered. One might regret that Reik did not follow through his intention of giving the reader an intimate portrait of psychologist Sigmund Freud's scientific personality. Evidently the time is not ripe for a true appraisal of Freud as a person and a leader, his death is of too recent date.
