The Advocate of the Man on the Land
General J. J. Pershing : “Nothing gives me more happiness than that I have never been drawn into political life. Supporters of those who hold high office picture them as prodigies of wisdom ; their opponents call them stupid scoundrels. But all those I have known were neither the one nor the other ; they were just average.” Professor Harold J. Laski: “What are men of letters going to do to see that here and elsewhere they are doing their best for the maintenance of freedom? If men of letters take their vocation seriously they have got to think of their task in terms of active interest ir. affairs of State. Literature should prove its intelligence by striking before it is too late a blow for freedom that is determined and unmistakable.”
