Each of these I hoped would make some contribution to the understanding of that interesting but baffling phase of our American life--our contact with the Fart East. River Supreme, the first in this series, portrays perhaps the least understood of our activities in the Orient. It is the tale of the impact of our industrial civilization upon a country so thickly populated that a machine can only be envisioned as a monster devouring man's food." #01391.
