Thank you very much for your editorial on the Cambridge N.R.A. parade. Your maturer rivals might well imitate occasionally the vigor and the clarity displayed in your attacks on the more obvious absurdities of our public life...

Although this should have been obvious to all who had examined the basis of his program for the commodity dollar, Wall Street chose to pull a face long enough to upset the day's trading and between the money changer and the moneychanger an unpleasant altercation threatens to develop.

If the workers are disunited, and the present diffusion of ownership has militated against their unity, Fascism must be the outcome. Mr. Strachey believes that through Fascism the workers will be united for revolution; and though their work will be rendered difficult by the Fascist abolition of the instruments of democracy, the victory must ultimately be theirs. But an ultimate victory may easily become a Pyrrhie...
