Chapter M: L. K

I am renewing my subscription to _The Little Review_, though I don’t know just why. I don’t understand you very well any more. I don’t know whether I approve. You used to be very different. Sometimes you were great. Your own article “Life Itself” and Ben Hecht’s “Dregs” I shall always remember. You used to show such fine sympathy for all kinds of social suffering. I cannot see how a magazine devoted only to what you call Art can have a very vital share in the solving of our present great problems. This is such a splendid opportunity for your radicalism....

Radicalism: to get to the root of the matter. Usually to eradicate good and bad indiscriminately.

Besides they are terms filthy from contact with politics.—_F. E._]

Too British
