...event both criticism and defense are apt to be unreasonable. Those who argue base their accusations or explanations largely on prejudice, for it has been clearly shown that all that the men in charge of these competitions needed, was a word of warning.

This old truth is freshly exemplified in the remarkable protest against the duties on books proposed by the Fordney bill, signed as it is by all the leading publishers of the United States.
