For some time past I have resented hooks by Steinbeck, forthey portray such unrepresentative pictures of our American lite in

i rural districts. I live near the Everglades farms district and .nest or the nizrante out there live better than l do,whils they are 1

My reason for writing this is that it is rumored that� 1 ~Steinbeck is now gathering information for s heart-throb about the 2sad condition of Japanese in Relocation Centers in the Iest. I . 4

he had a rnihtia man assigned to himto make things easy and stop any_un-pleasantness�; yet throughout the bookSteinbeck never mentioned the MVD.

&#39; Most startling, perhaps, is Steinbeck�sown attitude toward the Soviet Union.

His book i.s full of what Koestler would

call false equations. When Caps is

stopped from taking pictures at a ld-&#39;

leased tractor plant in Stalingrad,

Steinbeck reminds us that foreignersmay not photograph Oak Ridg= either.In his mind, �Moscowitis" and �Wash-

ingtonitis" cancel each other out. When

he admits that the collective farm he

was shown put on a big show for him,»

he insists that �any Kansas farmer�would do the same for his guests. &#39;

Steinbeck wants �peace� and hates

all "curtains," iron or otherwise. He-

does not care about governments, goodor bad. He comes up with a conclusion

that is neither here nor there: �We

knew nothing about the things Ameri-can papers were howling about �Bus-

sian military preparations, atomic re-

search, siave labor, the political skull-_duggery of the Krernlin.� And he stilldoesn&#39;t. As a m&#39;atter of fact, he isproud of his ignorance. Even Caps isled to remark tha"t �Steinbeck is sogoddam innocent that all questions

posed by the curious and hero-wor-

shipping Russian population are" an-swered by a friendly grunt, This Ido not know!" When he ii asked ifthe American people want war with

ussia, he replies: �We don&#39;t know.�Whether the question concerns W -

Under-such cincumstances it is notsurprising that the world-shaking eon-clusion to Steinbeck�! conducted tour

is that �the Russian people are people,��that they are very nice." He adds that

they want �the same things all people

want��good lives, increased oornfort,

security, and peace."- But be does not
