'Pearl Buck and Eslanda Goode Robeson look over the manuscript of their AMERICAN ARGUMENT, the fourth of Miss Buck's "talk books" each a record of a conversation with a citizen of one country or another.  In this new book to be published on January 24 by the John Day Co. these two American women, both mature, successful, and holding no grudges against life, discuss their own country from differing an sometimes opposing, but always basic, points of view.  Here is the way the Unite States looks to them as women, as mothers, as Americans, as world citizens and above all as human beings.  Their range of topics is wide--marriage, the education of children, the organization of home and career, women's place in the community, local and national, women and politics, our government, the hopes of the world.  Often they agree, sometimes they disagree sharply; throughout it is a firm but friendly argument.  Mrs Robeson is well known for her African Journey and other writings.'
