Critical bad Manners"

DEAR Mike:
We we're amazed to find that in your first
column devoted to the coming Writers Congress-
Edward Dahlbergs personal feuds disguised as crit
icism of criticism. opened the discussion. His
attack was not aimed at any specific ideas held
by critics. but at their presumably bad manners
But Dahlberg's own attitude Is nom cornradely to
the extreme; in fact it is so venornous as to sug-
gest its origin in motives extraneous to the prob
lens Of our literature.
While we disagree with some of Granville
Hickss methods and conclusions, we consider him
one Of the outstanding MARKHAM critics in Amer
lea, And to dispose of Eickss criticism, as Dahl
berg does, by quoting few sentences not central
to his complete position savors Of the methods of
bourgeois reviewers in approaching MARKHAM writ
ing.
Dahlberg thinks he is annihilating both of us by
ironically clubbing us these Plekhanovs" Then
he goes on to say that we usually spend three
fourths Of the space of the book-review to dis
cussion of the deepening CT the crisis and toward
the conclusion manage somehow to blunder into
discussion Of the novel before us" We challenge
Dahlberg to point out review or article written
by either Of in which political generalities take
the place of literary criticism.

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt,

ton in leading magazine Of the COM
ing month, Can woman ever be
President of the United States?" She
answers the query in the Affirmative:
She can-but may she. There is moth
ing in the Constitution against 1t, as
the requirements of eligibility to that
Office are that one shall have attained
to the age of IS and been IA years a
resident within the United States.
Mrs. Roosevelt, when she qualities
her answer to the momentous ques-
tion which has been asked her many
times, says certainly woman can be
elected President-'in all probability,
some time a woman will be-but she
may not in my opinion, be elected at
the present time or in the near fu-
ture" She adds: This is not a
criticism of women or their capacity.
