But it suddenly occurred to us that censors in war time have a rather unpleasant job. Reading somebody else’s letters might be fun for a while; but imagine reading them eight hours a day for weeks, months, years. We started thinking how a censor's mind mustl taste at the end of the day when we read of two | nameless censors who have had one of the tougn| lobs of the war. They're the censors at Bermudal| and Rome who had to read every word of a bouk, on the philosophy of George Santayana, by Dr. Paul| A. Schilpp, associate professor of philosophy at Northwestern University, who séfit the manuscript 0| Santayana in Rome for checking. The picture of a censor, probably not far differ- ent from say a City Hall tipstalf, wading through a book on Santayana makes us feel almost sorry. It took the Bermuda censor three and a half weeks to read only half of the book. But the worst is yet to’ come. Dr. Schilpp is already thinking about his next book, about the Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce, with conv.rib\x~]‘ tions from eight Italians and one German. | I i | The Book-Baiters i (New York Times) To hear that the German Secret Police is raid-| ing French bookstores and seizing publications guilty | of “anti-German character” cheers the comic spirit| between the acts of the tragedy.
