...action is the love affair of a white man and a Negro girl, the climax is his murder by her brother, and the end is a lynching. The same story has been told & retold, expertly or awkwardly, with Freudian variations (as in the novels of T. S. Stribling), with Marxian overtones (as in proletarian novels). The main theme has been repeated in fiction almost as frequently as the lynchings that inspired it have occurred. It is a somewhat inhibiting theme, costly in that it imprisons literary imaginations that might otherwise be free to write of the rich and varied Southern...
U.S.F.S.R. In London 60 years ago, when he was red-bearded and in his 20s, George Bernard Shaw joined the newly founded Fabian Society.† It was a socialist group, ambitious to reconstruct "society in accordance with the highest moral possibilities."

The political regime of Stalin of today is not the Communist but National regime of Russia of the time of great war. And the policies of Stalin's regime are essentially the national policies of Russia. The regime itself is not much different from today's political regime of this country: in both nations the government regiments and manages most of the social relationships of their citizens...
