Some of the conference's economic opinions were almost as sensational as the extreme internationalism of its political program. It held that "a new order of economic life is both imminent and imperative" -a new order that is sure to come either "through voluntary cooperation within the framework of democracy or through explosive political revolution." Without condemning the profit motive as such, it denounced various defects in the profit system for breeding war, demagogues and dictators, "mass unemployment, widespread dispossession from homes and farms, destitution, lack of opportunity for youth and of security for old age."

...tradition of liberal arts cannot be "extinguished," nor can it remain completely intact. The one would mean discarding a majority of the Faculty, overhauling facilities, and destroying the framework upon which the University must rebuild after the war.

In London Miss du Maurier denies ever having heard either of A Sucesora or its author, prior to the accusation. Her publishers point out that "the sad-second-wife setup" (framework of both novels) is as old as the Book of Ruth. The story of Frenchman's Creek seems an even more universal legend. If one forgets Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Miss du Maurier can vindicate her unoriginality by quoting Pope: What oft was thought...
