Free Thought and Tyranny eept a* ^^walkenor housekeepers,” Stanislaus
pronounces bluntly, and the old man was certain*

ments in science and education relative to
our own, one aspect of the matter hasn’t,
had the attention it probably deserves.
Since the dawn of tyranny, men have
been -saying that arbitrary government is
the enemy of free thought and hence of
genuine progress in science and all other
fields of education.
What the Russians have accomplish-
ed, and are continuing to accomplish,
seems to contradict this long-held notion.
. For it is doubtful If any tyranny in history
was more rigid than tjne Soviet version
which now imposes its grip upon millions
of square miles of the earth’s surface.
In this vast area of human error, the
expression of ideas is controlled with ruth-
less efficiency. Departures from the Com-
munist lino of the monument are penaliz-
ed as unforgivable heresy.
Vet within this oppressive atmosphere,
the Soviet Union has astonished free men
by achieving results in science and tech-
nology that the free world has not match-
ed.
How have they managed what so many
have said was impossible in a dictator-
ship?
For one thing, the Soviet Communists
do not apply their controls to the realm
of the, physical sciences now so vital to
the creation of new military weapons and
materials. In this zone of thought, Rus-
sian scientists are free to explore with all
the ability and energy at their command.
On top of this, any Russian exhibiting
any talent at all for science is exhaustive-
ly schooled in its disciplines and kept on
the science track no matter what, r
We all know now that we don’t have
enough people in ‘science and some that
get into it are sidetracked by the draft oc.
drawn away from pure scientific research
into other fields, in the Soviet Union, by
the very fact of its dictatorship, there is
no such deflection of talent.
It is clear from the events of recent
months that among the many things we
no longer can .take comfort from is the
idea that men in the Soviet Union can’t
whom once in- a particularly besotted moment he
apparently tried to strangle. Theri's another un-
derstatement: “It must not be imagined that he
was not occasionally sober.”
Stanislaus was a fervid anti-Catholic. but the
best or worst he can call his learned brother is
“unwilling unbeliever.” James was terrified of
lightning and thunder, and somewhere he would
call God “a noise in the street.” He wa- serious,
studious, had not false modesty, was promiscuous
and .after his mother’s death, turned at least for
a time, and despite the efforts of Stanislaus to
balk him, into as determined a souse as his father
had been.
As a student he was exemplary, setting all
sorLs of records in one school after another, and
however much in later yep is he had his nose in a
glass, in Dublin he had it in a book. Stanislaus
recalls a picnic when he took along his notebooks
and lists of foreign words and expected other pic-
nickers to hear his lessons.
He never liked London. Oddly, at first he
did not Jike Paris, where he would make his home
many years, and where he and his family once
congregated with their friends at the cafe Chez
Francis—improbably on the Right Bank, too.
Out of this Dublin life arid neighborhood came
the figures who walk, and marvelously talk,
through his books. It was brother Stanislaus who
i.ang "Finnegan’s Wake"—all Joyces had Voices,
and the best of them, according to Stanislaus, was
George: his name, as Giorgio, was given to James’
first son, born in Trieste, and this boy later em-
barked on a vocal career of his own. James was
first interested in the subject of Ulysses when in
school he read Lamb’s “Adventures of Ulysses.”
But there were specific forebears not only for
the titles but also the characters, scenes and
speeches, Mrs Rinrdan. Mr. C*»sy, Mr. Tate and
the dean of studies, all in ‘‘A Portrait of the Art-
ist as a Young Man,” and Simon Dedalus and oth-
ers in “Ulysses” all once lived in Dublin and had
the great good fortune to be immortalized, aw we
suppose, by rubbing elbows with a wide-eyed, per-
ceptive, imaginative youngster.
Stanislaus could observe his elder brother from
a unique' position, and happily he was endowed
with enough of the Joycean genius to merit his
enviable opportunity and put it to splendid use.

MY BROTHER’S KEEPER: JAMES JOYCE’S
EARLY YEARS. By Stanislaus Joyce. Edited,
with introduction and notes, by Richard Ellmann,
pn fa e by T. S. Eliot. Viking. $5.
It may be highly useful to investigate the pri-
vate life and background of a public figure, Eliot
believes.
And in truth it is not possible to imagine a
creative persons who was not in fundamental ways
shaped by family, friends and environment; and
in a writer as personal as Joyce, whose specific
subject was the Joycean experience, intimate in-
formation of this sort, however the relatives blush
and squirm, is essential. >■
Stanislaus was in a lucky position — lucky at
least for us—-because he was the great literary
explorer's junior by three years; because they
were close for the formative first two decades in
Dublin arid Trieste; and because he is sympathe-
tic. He may find fauit with his big brother but
he flies at you if you dai e criticize.
“In our house one had always the impression
of being in an open boat on a choppy sea,” he
rays. It’s something of an under-statement. The
Joyces had seen better days, and by the time there
was a houseful of children, they were definitely
on the way down. In about 11 years, for instance,
they moved some nine times in Dublin, Stanislaus
remembers, each time to a place a little shabbier,
and v ith a -lightly lighter load of goods.
There was a never-ending pull and haul. The
mother lived in, by and for the church, did all
the priests told her. and thought all they requir-
ed her to think. The father loved liquor. “For
the most part .women do not interest Irishmen ex-

This slight charming story of a young-man-
nbout-Paris who pays an actress’ bills but is not
permitted to enjoy her favors, might have been,
forgotten if James Joyce hadn’t singled it and
its author out for extravagant praise. Joyce might
have learned from his brother Stanislaus some-
thing about his stream-of-consciousness techni-
que, his interior monologues, his method of ex-
posing a character front the inside out, but he
preferred to give the credit of Dujardin. The
method that Joyce mastered is considerably fumbl
ed by his French mentor.
