...past two months Rev. Charles Edward Coughlin, rabble-rousing radio priest, has published the Protocols in his weekly Social Justice. Brushing aside the matter of their authenticity, Father Coughlin repeatedly stressed their "factuality," quoted Henry Ford (a onetime believer in the Protocols) : "They fit in with what is going on."

Neither better nor worse than Hichens' average two-a-year, The Journey Up is the snob story of a mannequin whose social ambitions make a moral and financial wreck of her surgeon-husband. It is a good example of nearly automatic writing. Its only discernible purpose is to keep Author Hichens' income at about $25,000 a year and enable him to lead the comfortable cosmopolitan bachelor existence to which he has become accustomed...
