The following le from Samuel Blum, giv es of correspondence between himself and Paul Blanshard, associate editor of The Nation, present the case plainly enough: “The Daily Worker: “Will y Worker for mate Nation exposes its own hypo I sent to The Nation the en letter on the ion of the Masses and Daily er in Auburn ate Prison and received a note of thanks and promise to print it in the correspondence columns of -The Nation, retaining, however, the privilege to shorten it. The note contained another reservation, and that is the hazard that the letter may be cut out at the last minute and something more important sub- stituted. This looked to me as if the associate editor, Paul Blanshard, was merely preparing an alibi. and did not mean to print it at all. I, therefore, asked the editor whether the.correspondence will be kept for print if it is once cut out or_will that eliminate it altogether. Being pressed to the wall, the edi- tor sent me another note in which he states that he cannot print the letter. This confirmed my suspicion that he never meant to print it at all, but that he was trying to cover ‘up this hypocrisy with an excuse rather than come out with an open refusal. That lack of space is not the reason can be seen from the fact that The Nation found place during this time for a statement from Norman Thomas on Why every liberal should vote Socialist,” which appeared after election, ete.
