Since 1921 U. S. production of casein has risen from 8,000,000 to 40,000,000 Ib. annually. Biggest consumers are paper makers (who use 70% of the yearly output for coating book, magazine...
Literary observers, about equally divided between the alarmed and the content, now acknowledge that the left-wing literary movement during the 30s has gained some able recruits. But even sympathetic observers have been disturbed by the number of left-wing novels which appear, still lumpy with undigested slogans, melodrama, still relying on red flags and broken heads instead of good writing...
