Yet I should not be surprised if it were found significant of the general literary situation. I understand that it has become increasingly difficult to get good stories for the magazines, one reason being the greater profit from writing scenarios for the "movies," another the deductive attraction of vers libre.

If this country had introduced such a system ten years ago the Government would not be confronted with a situation it is totally unprepared to cope with. Enough men would be under arms now to form the first...
...question before Congress is a more difficult and intricate one. The proper solution will result in this first increment being a democratic, fair selection from the large numbers of our young men, which will go out as a democratic contribution from a great democracy to aid in restoring the freedom and privileges of democracy to the suffering people of a stern autocracy...
