LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

series of editions (Flammarion editions) where American author

Mebbe that is part of the national trouble, part of the great American
bellyache, part of the American IMMATURITY; to call it by no more
harsh name.
And then the omissions, the things Mr. Dewey, Professor Davis Rich
Dewey leaves OUT of his Financial History.
Well that’s all for this spasm.

ABERRATION
The Daily Mail of London got round a few weeks ago to reprinting one
of those libelous photographs that were shot on board the REX last time
I came into New York harbor.
Well, that did not harm, unless it cast a little indirect discredit on the
capacity of American press photographers. The Daily Mail seemed to be
followin’ in the wake of the Sunday Times. The Mail contented itself to
saying my admiration for fascism was notorious.
The “Special Correspondent” (address not given) of the Sunday Times,
apart from an erroneous statement as to my views of the American
President, used a qualifying statement saying that “Among Pound’s
many eccentricities and aberrations, his admiration of the Fascist regime
in Italy has long been notorious.” Both papers neglected to tell their
British readers that I broadcast to ENGLAND now and again. That is not
the point either.
