LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

never know the good that they do.… You have been understood all
WRONG, always. If you have written it out in your largest and clearest
script and then sung it:
Half a teaspoon full in a cup of tilleul, WARM, at the moment of getting
into bed.… The patient, the client, will do it his own way, he will take
thirty teaspoons full in a cup of bouillon when he gets OUT of bed and
that will cause a horrible scandal and he will come around and blame
you … and there will be complications, no end of them.
In all humility, I am telling you these things, that is sure. But I do not
pretend to TEACH you anything whatsoever.
About ten years after I left Paris, M. Céline discovered why he left
France; being a Frenchman he doesn’t put it that way. But he has, quite
amply, noted the biological fixity of the French. He is quite eloquent
about the ten years during which Pasteur was kept from reachin’
maximum utility, logic, cartesianism, etc. The difference between
boiling instruments 20 minutes and boiling ’em 3 [minutes]. He also
notes that he has never found a poor Jew of no importance who speaks
evil either of Rothschild OR of the Soviets. The United States may take
20 years more to get to where Céline was ten years ago.
Belated I am belated I am not an alarm clock expected to tell unhearing
America, of every first book by a new European author. Especially when
I have said things analogous before said author had broken into print.
Céline writes with the clarity of R. de Gourmont: he is a great writer.
The search for reality leads men of different races to similar quite private
discoveries. In fact, that is the basis of science, which relativity tries to
destroy. Céline denies that there is ANY fundamental and irremediable
hate between the French and the Germans. It was my own conclusion
after four years in Paris. Hence of course Mr. Roosevelt’s determination
to starve the French in unoccupied France Hence the opposition to
Herbert Hoover sending Horlick’s milk or whatever to babies in Europe.
Céline noted that his compatriots are biologically fixed, or static and
tend to disappear en masse. Well, Kokka, the ex-Russian General Staff
officer agreed with me on that point years ago Biological fixes In 1938
