It is of course purposeless to artificially stimulate such interest for that would mean simply a repetition of the recent Memorial Hall fiasco.

Just at present when the United States is being glutted with such pro-Prince propaganda as H. R. H.* I depend upon TIME to paint the truth, the whole truth. Now please let me apologize for "raking you over the coals." There are worse magazines than TIME - bunches of them! When I opened my "back mail" upon landing I found half a dozen magazines trying to boptlick up onto my doormat...
