Chesterton today came to the de- fense of America's Main street. “I think 1t is extremely unfortunate S0 many people should form their idea of the Middle West from a di itled writer such as Sinclair Lewis,” said. “An Englishman sees many good things in your small cities that do not exist in his own country. A sort of social equal- ity, for instance, is taken for granted in America.” The British essayist, poet and writer of mystery thrillers, now on a tour of America, said “I should never have given the Nobel award to Lewis.
