...they offer security as opposed to equality. Furthermore they offer certain economics resulting from nationalization, abolition of competitive marketing, profitable business, which means active business. These advantages are obvious; the hidden results of lowered productivity, inefficient bureaucratization of industry with no ideological myth as an incentive, exploitation of the proletariat and of the rentier by rising prices are obscured. Given this situation, an intelligently led Conservative Party could engineer a constitutional coup d'etat. Once involved in a tioup of industry and government, parliamentarism would have to be dispensed with, England would be fascist. TERTIUS...

The King would piously call for Nation before Party, allegiance...

An editorial about the "vast unruffled dullness of the Harvard student" utilizes the favorite escape-mechanism of the contemporary intellectual: it supposes that the human race will be otherwise if the capitalistic system is destroyed. The dictatorship of the proletariat is to the romantics of the moment what solitude and the noble savage were to their prototypes a century and a half ago. It is far from that to those who are really working to bring it about, and I, for one should welcome any expression at Harvard of their realism. Mr. Strauss...
