LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23.-In
the death of Jack London Ameri-
can literature suffers the great

To foresee the judgment OF

He is and will remain one OF
the great revolutionary forces In
American letters. His work Is o
bugle call to the human soul,
especially to the youths of the
people seeking a way to freedom
and justice.
1t may be that I am not an UNI

opinion that the finest Of his
writings are the socialist essays
which he wrote for love only.
