LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Or revolution in the PALACE ? Well, where do we go from here ? Art
revolution ? Need three or four men even to make an ART movement
function.
Can’t do it in politics without at least some sort of COMMON ground,
common agreement.
You do NOT believe in the total abolition of property—meaning of
private ownership of your homes, and fir fields. Lord, who has any
FIELDS left ? I dunno. Say your house and suburban garden. What
about homesteads ? The air is NOT yours. The press is NOT yours.
Communications by private automobile are said to be gettin’ scarcer. In
London you do not MEET, no man knows any other, at least not to any
extent.
How can you defend your homesteads from Cripps ? Homesteads ?
Your bed chamber, your kitchenette, and your telephone, all of ’em
rented. God help you. You better start SOMETIME.
Ezra Pound speakin’.
Yaaas, SOME time, while Sir Stafford is goin’ big out in India, agreein’

BUT HOW ? SECOND ITEM
It was not the present speaker, but an Englishman, I believe an
absolutely loyal Englishman, a sort of Royalist, not Mr. Eliot, but at any

Nazi sympathies, who on May 11th, 1939 uttered the statement I am
about to repeat to you. Get the date, May eleventh, 1939.
