sArlRlsr FOR our sins.

Mr.. Robert Herrick has said a
true word in declaring Americas
need of a great satirical novelist.
That is a golden gift to any age or
any nation, but never, it must seem
to us, would such a gift be more
timely than at this stage Of the
democratic experiment in America.
It's special value to us would lie
in its access to our national sense
of humor. That sense is now chiefly
Inere joke, irresponsible, improper
tionate, inconclusive and superficial.
But to a great satirical humorist it
would open wide to the light. The
trouble with much Of our self-fagel-
lation is that it lacks true proper
ton, which is the strong merit of
satire. It is not merely serious. 1t
is glum. : has not the tonic sting
Of high comedy. Against it not only
our sensual complacency reacts, but
also our common sense.
