...French regard for "our friends in America." which M. Herriot noted in his introduction, caused Mme Cuttoli's 20th Century tapestries to be brought to the U. S. for their first public showing. No more than their 15th Century predecessors are they intended for the walls of the proletariat.

The labor movement, the proletariat as a whole can expect nothing but sniggering from a magazine whose heart bleeds over poor J. P.
