A CULTURAL LEVEL or should we say Possibilities of
Cultural eminence ?

Mr Eden's NEW flop is certainly welcome to all Americans
known to me. And the reports in the British press that
this long delayed elimination from the British Cabinet had
caused perturbation west of the Al Atlantic are as mysterious
as some of thes of the Abyssinian frntt that used to
flow h through the agencies.

In whatever department of life, literary or economic, a
detachedobe observer exists, the said observer will note
with sruprise that the last two decades has not yet
dimmed the difference between the upper class ( or clawwws"
English view and that of all nations known to me.

As in letters " M But ; mon cher, WHAT is
it ? In no country in the world could ...etc.

Tony Eden will I think appear to posi posterity
, that is to such posterity as catches a glimpse of him
in the cru curios record, as just a product of the
sheltered life, of the so called education " which wouldn't
WANT to be interested in " etc.

Eden has shown no signs of rebelling
against the cliches of ideology of his milieu, which is
a milieu of the spoon-fed. The important point is not the
no man EE having the elimination of Eden. What matters is
that the type of mental formation ( or lack of formation
that is Edens should ever again be boosted up to the top

of English affairs. This variety of infantile infantilism shd/
go into the discard. It must go into the discard if there is to
a regeneration of England.

No one outside England will weep for the Hoare 'aval
proposals. They w/ indubitably have been to England's
short term advantage. That is all very well for you,
but to anyone outside your little circle ( whereon the sun never
etc. ) the sanity of a total Europe is more INTERESTING.

That sanity will not show any great interest
in bank and gun wangies in Ozeco-Slovaakia.

Zghezzo Slovaaasaks ! Idere aRRe gno
Zheggo-Slovaaaks ,it iss lige dalking of the Kento-Welsh
said one of England's favoured guests in 1917.

In these present pages and in all other
wherefrom I am not excluded for calling somebody's darling
a IE liar ( for mendacity ) or a scoundrel for villainy
I keep trying to clarify a few terms. ( Such as
Money, mortgages, debt; debit, credit, capital and property ).

And it will need yet another hundred articles
by me, by us, by others to teach the world that the
Russian reds have NOT attacked capital.

Mr Bronstein was out against property. The
Bolcheviki have not attacked CAPITAL. The English reds
today will not show up the English concession hunters
( in Spain or anywhere ) when such a showing up w/ mean
an attack on BH CAPITAL.

And thereby are they damned in the eyes
of g judicious men.

M. Flandin whom I wdn't trust with a sixpence
has at least contributed one item to Eden's biography.
Vide ACTION 5 March 1938. And the pale young men who

talk to me about a revival of the " ivory tower "
we/ save themselves time by realizing that for several
years Mosley has published the most active papers in England.
The mental level of ACTION is above that of the other British
weeklies. GET THAT, gentle reader. What is to me
an American living on the continent, who prints the most
intelligent paper in England. It matters to me that I get
the papers showing the greatest intellectual activity and
SHEEH frankness. Why in heavens name shd/ I be led away
from one set of papers and take to reading another if
the " other " weren't of more interest ?

I am a man of letters out for a clear
definition of WORDS. ( Not words in a vacuum, but
pertinent words ; words condc conducing to comprehension
and order. )

England was CUT off from Europe by the
Napoleonic wars. Hence the dullness of the Victorian era
and the lower visibility of human d fact in England
than on the continent during the degraded XIX century.
The age of usury , the age of blurr.

And for the 40 th time I keep trying to
get into the minds of English writers and economists that
the CONTINENT exists. that there was F e French prose ,
that there IS a continental mind in activity.

Recently a member of the Economic Reform Club
wanted some DATA about continental affairs. No man can
in private correspondence give adequate summary of inform ation

printed in a dozen periodicals to people who won't READ
those periodicals.

Now to the best of my knowledge no British publication
gives as full a survey of the Economic publications of Europe
as does the RASSEGNA MONETARIA, I42 Corso Vittorio
to Emanuele, Roma.

No British Monthly gives as clear an idea of progress
as does the RIVISTA DEL LAVORO, via Nazionale 230, Roma

And anyone wanting to know what the directions of the
Corporate State as practiced in Italy are, can do no better
than to follow the brief quotations printed in large
type in that "e Rivista.."

From whatever point of view a man is watching the history
of today; he can not omit Edmondo Rossoni from his list
of phenomena. Therefore he will have to watch La Stirpe, 366
Piazza Colonna..

In exchange for this information I will,
be deeply grateful for anyone who will supply me with
the titles of three or a dozen reviews of equal INTEREST
in any language that I can read.

I don't, in a sense care a hang about it,
man's politics so long as he doesn't oppose or favour
something while in BLACK IGNORANCE of its nature, of
where it has come from and where it is going.

When America's leading publicist Dorothy Thompson
has assured her half-witted public that Filter will
never do anything in Germany, Mrs D/T ceases to serve
me as a guide to contemporay fact. I won't claim
that she ever had

Compare the cultural level of Rivista del Lavoro for "an 31 of this year, say the article" Il Lavoro nel tempo antico" with that of Russian Periodicals reviewed by John Cournos in any one of half a dozen magazines (Globe or Criterion). V For the past decade or two decades Cournos has indubitably read a vast amount of Russian print, and has reported on it giving chapter and verse with what seems to be impartiality. He is a man who has known poverty, and as far as I can remember had at one time rather pro-bolo leanings.. I have not, in 25 years caught him faking.
