This article presents information on books. To the habitual detective-story reader a recent and popular mystery, "The Washington Legation Murders," by Van Wyck Mason, may have been an eye-opener. The habitual detective-story reader has surely never been obsessed by the quarrel between art and propaganda. Undoubtedly he believes that his favorite nightly reading matter is as free from political or class propaganda as his morning crossword puzzle, though a serious-minded Marxist might point out to him that the puzzle which daily defines the three-letter word "red" not as a "primary color" but as "radical" is not itself above reproach.
