Dear Mr. Pound:

Have been waiting for the enclosed check to go
through the mill and be signed before writing you. It
pays for the August letter "Deflation Benefit."

You, having seen all the GLOBES, have a good idea
what we are seeking in our photo-reportage section. If
you think Kirstein's and your photographs should fit in,
then send them on. And discussion will move much faster
after we have studied them. Granted the church section
was lousy, but the August is more our type - Mexican
Market. The Monte Carlo ballet, though the photos weren't
too excellent, is also more our type.

We miss Mangione in GLOBE, too, but hope he will
send on more material, at least for September. We're
hounding him, anyway.

Our letter to Halidé Edib also returned. "Asia"
publishers her, but knows nothing of her whereabouts.

GLOBE'S first issue sold around 19,000 - second
issue very poor, only 13,000 (but May was a bad month for
all magazines, even the steady ones). June promises to
be around 20,000 and July 25,000. We are seeking a
steady 40,000 newsstand sale by the first of the year.

Antheil had a good article in that new super -
"Cinema Arts." We will follow up your letter immediately.
We are exchanging with Katue but as yet have lined up no
Japanese translator in St. Paul. Will write again and
ask that manuscripts be translated there, as was your
poetry.

Mr. Ezra Pound,
12/5 Via Marsala,
Rapallo, Italy.

Dear Mr. Pound:

This is a brief note from the business department of GLOBE Magazine. We are sending you herewith twenty copies of our advertising rate card showing the prices, mechanical requirements, etc., for advertising in GLOBE. These advertising rates are based on a guarantee of 20,000 circulation. We will show audited statements from the International Circulation Company as proof of our actual circulation on any given issue, and we will make proportional rebates to the advertiser for any number of copies under 20,000 sold. As a matter of fact, however, we expect to deliver "an extra bonus circulation" to our advertisers; that is, more than 20,000 copies.

The commission paid for advertising is 20% on the net amount collected by us -- that is, after advertising agency discount and any other necessary discounts are taken.

If any European advertising is placed, the advertising copy and the illustrations must be in our hands on the 20th of the second month preceding date of issue; that is, advertising copy for the October issue of GLOBE must be in our hands August 20th at the very latest. We can not guarantee to show proof to European advertisers if copy is received as late as the 20th of the second month preceding date of issue. If they desire to see proofs, we must have another month for carriage back and forth.

Incidentally it is not always possible to get certain European type faces here in America, so we will have to set the items as close to American typography as we can obtain. However, we can always be sure of a fairly good job of composition.

The manner for payment of the advertising must be worked out very clearly in advance with any European firms that care to advertise, since we have no machinery set up here for checking the credit of European advertisers. The best way of receiving payment is obviously in advance, and in some accounts certain American publications require this type of payment. We are, of course,

GLOBE MAGAZINES INCORPORATED

• CABLE ADDRESS GLOBEMAGA

Mr. Ezra Pound

2

August 6, 1937

willing to give a 5% discount for cash in advance. Of course, we do not want to run the risk of insulting any creditable firms, by asking for cash in advance. The only point is that this type of payment simplifies things a great deal, and perhaps the firms will see it our way. Of course, the firms will be within their rights in asking for "checking copies" of the magazine carrying their advertisement before making payment. If any advertising is sold in Europe, we hope that the credit risks can be carefully watched.

As you probably realize, GLOBE reaches an audience of people who travel and through whose interest of things foreign, it can be inferred that they are "prospects for luxury products abroad". In America today, the principal advertised luxury produce from a foreign country is liquor -- wine, champagne, etc. These represent a good class of accounts for GLOBE. The transportation and steamship companies with headquarters in Europe are also good prospects.

This letter represents just a brief outline of the business details necessary to know in obtaining advertising for GLOBE.

We presume that you wish to pass the job of actually soliciting the advertising on to some person with whom you have business connections. We suggest that you offer them 15% commission and take a 5% override for yourself, but you can, of course, work out any arrangement with them that seems most feasible.

May I say in closing that I have thoroughly enjoyed the intimate letters (really informative articles) which have appeared in GLOBE, and I think that they have enjoyed the wide acceptance among our readers. Of course, the question about Italy which most Americans want answered is, "What's Mussolini going to do next, and how, if in any way, is it going to affect us in the United States." You know, Mr. Pound, I'd like to hear your answer on that question myself.

Sincerely and respectfully yours,

I am trying this as sample. I have another
letter, not about local feasts, which I can also translate if wanted.

The stuff is perfectly straight and very much

At any rate it is personal and simple letter/ quite different

I think exactly as I have given it. I cant recall haveing m ever
made a closer translation of anything.

Dear Mr. Pound:

Here is your check for $20.00 to pay for your last letter, "Responsibility? Shucks!" which appears in the February-March issue of GLOBE. GLOBE is now a bimonthly, instead of a monthly magazine. We are putting out 132 pages every month, giving a better quarter's worth and also a chance for the book to remain on sale longer and allow extra time for publicity and solicitation of advertising. As you may note, we have some advertising this month, and the Italians, bless their hearts, were the first people to advertise in GLOBE.

We are starting an Italian Tour of the Month in this issue and you will note in it a casual mention of yourself, which we hope will not displease you.

Instead of regular monthly letters now, perhaps you would like to write some general letters, showing the Italians as they really are now, and how the Italian mind really works. Perhaps you could do an article on the new Bohemia, or is there any Bohemia any more? In other words, what are the intellectuals doing these days?

How about Abyssinia? The press has dropped it like a hot cake. The new empire in Tripolitania would be a good subject.

An article on the lining up of world forces should also be very interesting; Communism versus Fascism versus Cooperating Nationalism versus spiteful doctrinism, etc. This should be as good as the Windsor-Simpson article. Explode some of the fatuous ideas that are flitting about. In spite of the New York city hissing of Mussolini in the movies, there are more Americans than ever visiting Italy this year.

Incidentally, what American magazines do you recommend as being the most worthwhile? There are so many American magazines

it is hard to choose. If you care to receive some magazines we would be more than glad to place them on our exchange list and send to you for review purposes and help you to keep in contact with the American scene. Don't hesitate to ask for as many as you wish. This does not go for weekly publications. You probably get all the Italian magazines that you want, although if there are some Italian ones you would like to receive we can save you from buying them by placing them on our exchange list and having them sent directly to you.

Occasionally perhaps you would like to send in little fillers or jottings that you glean from the press and that we could publish with small stars between, along with your letters.

The next time you go to Genoa you might say something about it. I think it is one of the most interesting cities in the world, and one of the most maligned. Tourists seem to think Genoa is only the place where one waits for a train or boat, and gets away from it as quickly as possible.

Of all the suggestions that occur to us, the money question seems to be the farthest beyond the pale of general understanding or interest for the American public, and is, moreover, usually for a special magazine rather than for GLOBE.

When you write again, I hope that you will just look at the map of the Italian Tour, and if anything occurs to you that should not remain unmentioned along this itinerary, please jot it down. I wouldn't care to plagerize your ideas in the tour but occasionally one thinks of something that should be broadcast. Anything along the line of general advice would be appreciated.

During the month of February I will be in New York city so if there is any hurry-up correspondence to communicate, I can be reached at our New York city office, 509 Fifth Avenue.

Again, dear Mr. Pound, we thank you for all the good work you have done for us and for your good will toward our international magazine.

Dear Mr. Pound:

Have as yet heard nothing about Gingrich and his offers.
Ken is not on the stands; but it's appearance is scheduled
for the 31st of March; though that's not saying it will appear
on that date.

I am sending you under separate cover past copies of the
main digest-size magazines. Notice the tone of all these;
what an important part sex and the sensational play - also the
purely factual and informative. Mr. isn't, of course a com-
petitor, but just a sample of what Americans will read. Digest
and Review and World Digest are the best of their kind, after
the first to be published and the first in the public's eye,
The Reader's Digest. For Men Only (that's the title now) is
partially invading our field, though only partially. Coronet
and Photo Facts are more like GLOBE; and they are both pretty
good mags, in their way. Esquire is so bulky, I couldn't send
a copy this time. Scribners and Story, plus The Atlantic and
Harpers are definite competitors. And then in some ways so are
Life, Pic, Focus, Click, Look, etc. Do you want me to send you
examples of some of these? Scribner's is running an article on
"Magazines That Sell" (the first called "Sex, Esq." - about
Esquire, of course), written more from the history angle than
anything else.

No clipping from England has as yet been received here.
Many thanks, however, for the puff. Do you happen to have an
extra copy? If not, I can write to the weekly that published
it, requesting a tear sheet.

Much luck on the success of your new book. We will await
its publication with interest. Did you receive my other package?

I wish now I could have squeezed more into that one envelope.

Read with interest the ads for your festival. Purcell,
Vivaldi, etc. are at last coming into their own. Excellent
record releases here (Victor, Gamut, Timely, Columbia, Musi-
craft) show decided trends in that direction.

The article on micro-photography in Broletto; Periodico
della Città di Como was received. Also noticed that Katue
Kitasono had an article in the same issue. We have recently
heard from him. Several months ago he translated "The Sun
Helmet" by Harold Armitage (from our July, 1937, issue) and
published it in Vou. I only by chance ran across it.

A new manuscript by Christopher Hollis is on hand. After
reading it one is inclined to say, "So what," but the whole
thing is so amusing and very well written that we can't help
wanting to publish it. We've recently been able to use John
Groth as an illustrator; he used to be Art Editor of Esquire -
also several other capable and well known men.

A letter came in from Henry Miller a few days ago. In part
he says, "So much emphasis is placed on the sensational aspect
of 'place' that writing is almost ignored." This concerning
GLOBE, of course. But he does have the following to say; "Every-
body here admires the efficiency with which you master the
technical difficulties."

Others, besides Hollis, in the next issue? (It's on the
press now). There's a Louis Adamic sketch about America; and
Stephen Leacock has written a very good article on French Canada.
Jerre Mangione (author of "Sicilian Policemen") is with us again;
and there are others, of course - lesser known, but none the
less, on the average, pretty good.

Dear Mr. Pound:

As I said to you in my letter of March 12, I did not think we would be able to get your complete letter into the current issue because of the very short time left. This turned out to be quite correct. The whole magazine was definitely set and unfortunately there was room left over for only a half page short.

Accordingly, we are enclosing our check for $5.00 and hope that our putting the Notes on Micro-Photography into that half page was not too presumptuous of us.

Many months ago you made a very cryptic statement about business managers, which we have found out is all too true. Our business manager has read over the rest of your manuscript, as he does with everything that goes into the magazine, and does not believe we should publish it. Our financial condition is such that we find it impossible to publish invective material concerning a country that is advertising in GLOBE. It is a definite case of money speaking louder than words.

ADVENTURE • WORLD INTEREST

April 7, 1938

Dear Mr. Pound:

Many thanks for the pamphlets. I really appreciate
the trouble you took in my behalf.

Well, GLOBE keeps on; how I don't exactly know, but
it struggles along. Advertising is slowly coming in,
and every little bit helps. But it takes a long time to
build up a magazine, far longer than we at first antici-
pated. And with advertisers using GLOBE, you are more
or less in their hands. For fear of losing even one,
we have to watch closely everything we publish. Take our
last issue as an example. The dude ranch article was
put in there to get the Northern Pacific to advertise.
We had a devil of a time finding even a mediocre story on
Mexico ("Prayer in Earnest") to go with the Mexican Rail-
way ad, etc.

In spite of all this, though, we feel that the
April-May issue is our best one to date. Our two lows
have been the September '37 and the December-January issues,
with the latter on top. And Hipple definitely was a mis-
take - the sort of thing we will try to avoid in the fu-
ture!

After twenty years with the "Christian Science Monitor,"
Sisley Huddleston has resigned ("because it hampered me
in the expressions of my views"). He is now finishing a
book IN OUR TIME, O LORD, to be published by Dutton, and
plans to send us something very soon. He goes on to say,
"Anyone who can't see that the world is going headlong to
war and that the chief war mongers are not Hitler and
Mussolini (though they will furnish plenty of opportuni-
ties) but the agitators in the so-called "Democratic"
countries, passes my comprehension." He is sending us
another article, after quite a long silence.

Mr. Ezra Pound

Montgomery Butchart has sent in a number of manu-
scripts by himself and others. They're out being read
now. We have also received from him a copy of "The
Townsman" containing the Japanese poems. I'm glad he
published them, but as interesting as we found the two
introductions and a few of the poems, we still feel that
they were definitely not for GLOBE.

Charles Duff is silent.

And you have most likely already noticed that
Mangione is back with us again, in our latest issue.

Alfred Perles has written a light and amusing bit of
ephemera which should help balance our next issue. And
George Antheil has sent us a manuscript by his wife en-
titled (by her) "A Summer in North Africa." It's defi-
nitely not as deadly as the title. At present we plan on
using it, too, in our coming number.

Vardis Fisher's reportage on Boise raised quite a
stink in his part of the country. A follow-up article says
"What the world needs is bigger and lustier scandals....
I wrote for GLOBE a little essay on the lovely and charm-
ing city where I now live; and when the magazine hit the
newsstands the roof was blown off the town. Boise hasn't
had so much to talk about since the city treasurer em-
bezzled a hundred thousand to give to her worthless son
who did a high society fling in distant places and came
down on his face and landed in an asylum."

Charlie Flandrau, Saint Paul's most famous literary
figure, died on the 28th of March. He was planning a
return to writing with a series of travel articles for
which he was so famous. These were to be for us - a great
loss!

Harriet Munroe's *A POET'S LIFE* is a masterpiece.

We all hope you understand the reasons for our last
letter. It's just another case of being "shit on by
business managers."

April 27, 1938

Dear Mr. Pound:

We definitely did not want to intimate that your
letters were no longer desired. On the contrary; we still
feel that contributions from you are an integral part of
GLOBE.

But our magazine has up till now been for the few
(and very few at that). The time will come, we hope, when
ours will be the privilege of dictating, but, unlike "Poetry,"
we have no guarantors and so have to tody to the so-called
man-of-the-street who is most of the time looking for tempor-
ary entertainment and not for solid worth.

Your first article, "Abdication," definitely met the
approval of many of our readers. Later letters, however,
have been called "obscure." You cannot underestimate the
public's intelligence, and many would say re. your last let-
ter: "Who are Baxter, Andrews, etc." "What is meant by the
phrase 'after Baxter sold out his church!'" And so forth.
In your "Deflation Benefit" (August, '37) you said, "I trust
I am not being too technical." Another reader stated at the
time that that was exactly it, you _are_ too technical. Of
course, I don't mean by this that you _should_ prostitute your
art and write about no-account subjects _just_ to appeal to
people. But we would prefer articles that _can_ be followed
a little more easily, that won't require of our readers a
thorough background in, and complete understanding of foreign
affairs. There are very few such Americans.

As for the sex angle, we don't necessarily want articles
such as appeared in the magazines sent you. Those were mere-
ly to show where the public's mind is today. Of course, a
certain amount of such stuff, in a milder, pleasanter way,
is bound to help. We feel that in GLOBE have appeared far
too many of the morbid sex stories (Francis Frost, Jesse
Stuart, Ed Bell, _etc._), which type we want to avoid.

Mr. Ezra Pound

-2-

April 27, 1938

Those stories with the same angle, but a more pleasing outlook, have met with far more favor, like Bob Brown's "Dr. Francisco," or André Roosevelt's "Monumental Patient."

I am enclosing your latest letter and have red pencilled it quite thoroughly. For instance, on page two, passages like, "And a bit later Rothschild horned in on the racket" needs historical elaboration. The transition from the war in Spain to brothels in England is rather brusque (is the theme economic motivation? Not too evident to the reader). Also there should be additional stuff preceding the paragraph on page five beginning, "And as to the government." These church and state paragraphs aren't linked up too well. In short, the theme of this article is Economics:

> *Italy and Germany face the question. Rotted, rotten, and rottener: France, The Church of England, England, Spain, Canterbury, York, all Britons, English and French press, etc.*
> 
> We hope that this is "clarity of expression."

As for the money part. We will make the same arrangement as before - twenty dollars an issue, which will be raised as soon as possible, for we all realize the value you have been to GLOBE and want to try and pay you back in some measure, though of course anything we can do will hardly be what is due.

Very sorry I unintentionally overlooked the suggestion about payment of authors (those that won't take the limit of fifty dollars, which price we have paid a few from time to time; not more than one a month). Before any such arrangements are made, however, we will have to be pretty damn sure about the article. And it's not a question which can be decided in a moment. But it won't be forgotten and you'll hear from me later about it. I'm not the one to decide and will have to talk it over with others.

We have nothing in reserve, and the June-July issue is locked up on the 13th of May. Anyway, we hope you will send us something for the next number. And in the meantime, may this letter help clear things up.
