Miss Glasgow is not only right in
stating that American literature Is
largely shaped by the demand for IAN
evasive idealisin instead If Il straight

might have gone further and said that
bur whole national life Is lived out IN
that key. A. a people We are kindly
and honest as nations so. but We see
no further than the bulk Of things. cA-
periencc only the immediate.
One points easily TO such Instances

the beginning Of the European war to
take the stand which less than two
years demonstrates to have been the
only safo and disniiied aud feasible one.
And we only eoe that now because Of
its explosive accompaniment of war and

Of our newspapers. \ hundred less oh

The bulk of our people do not want TO

I do not believe II L. because We are
inherently Joss sincere. more fond OF

an age when We believe that the ''evasive
