At least he says in a letter to his publishers that this particular danger has never been brought out on these * terms.

It seems that back in the days of Columbus there was a shortage in the market of spices beâ€" cause of the old trade routes to India being cut off. The situation was so acute there was much talk of finding a new route through which to bring the necessary goods. Columbus being a man of vision, started off to find the route. Years later when the new country had been discovered but no one knew what to do about it, it was the populaity of the tobacco . plant which attracted settlers to it in spite of the terrible hardships to be endurâ€" ed. So it becomes apparent that Mr. Van_Loon is a follower of that hardâ€" hearted doctrine known as "economic determinism." It also becomes apparâ€" ent that Mr. Van Loon is well inâ€" formed, but looks at things from a new and original angle, that he is satirical, that he likes to play the buffoon. We are treated to his opinâ€" idns on many subjects, including ofâ€" ten royalty, and we éan assure you that theyâ€"the opinionsâ€"are never daun.
