TRAVEL AND POLITICS
BEYOND THE HIGH HIMALAYAS, by William O. Douglas; Victor Gollancz. English price; 16/-. HE author, a judge of the Supreme Court of U.S.A., and a personage in the Domocratic Party, provides a travel tale with a strong political flavour, and some political wisdom including the discovery "how easy it would be for warmhearted, tolerant, understanding America to become the revolutionary force of the world. All we would need do would be to restate our articles of faith in Asian terms and ... (become) obsessed, with winning by ideas of freedom rather than by dollars and guns." Apart from politics, there is a good story of the topography, prodycts and trade, and of the religion and customs of the peoples of North-West Indiaof the lands bordering’ Sinkiang and
Tibet, and especially of Ladakh which politically is,part of Pakistan, but ethnologically and culturally is of Tibet.
