A—S8 = 1S, SEEN ENENY OF DICTATORSHIPS Lewisohn Sees Hope of World Linked to Ameri- can Methods. “The hope of the whole civilized world, politically speaking, is centered right here in Washington,” Ludwig ‘Lewisohn, author, critic and lecturer, {declared in an interview here this .morning. “I recently spent 10 years in Europe and the obvious contrast between methods and objectives of administration here and there em- phasize the importance of our ef- forts. “The great and hopeful thing about America is that we are trying to - make necessary readjustments in the economic structure without depriving the individual of his normal way of living. If we succeed, we will put other countries with their dictators and terrorism to shame. There never + has been a time in my life when an American had so much cause to be gald he is an American. “The present administration has attached to itself the loyalty of in- tellectualists as no other administra- tion ever has done—or ever knew enough to try.” Criticizes Writers. Visiting Washington for an address * before a gathering last night at the Jewish Community Center. Lewisohn took occasion then, and again today, to criticize the imitative habits of " Jewish-American writers. “Literature comes from very deep sources,” he said. “and the difference - in character of these sources is recog- . nizable in different peoples. This is true not only of the language but of the spirit. For instance, nobody but a Jew could have written the Psalms. Nor could a Frenchman ever have written ‘Hamlet': in fact, the French to this day do not understand ‘Ham- let.” “Jews can produce real literature only if they go to those deep sourccs .vumin themselves instead of trying to imitate what the Anglo-American , does even better. “Fannie Hurst and Edna Ferber are Jewish-Americans who have chosen to imitate, and thereby be and remain second raters. B Halper and Fineman. “Young Halper, who jumped into the spotlight a year or so ago with ‘Union Square’ followed & similar 4 course. He showed great ability, but 7 it was in dealing with & proletarian . movement that was not part of him- self. The mistake in choosing a meter « Which is foreign to one’s own nature is - that it leaves ne room for develop- + ment.” Asked who he considers most prom- ising of Jewish-American writers, ! Lewisohn named Irving Fineman, . author of “Hear Ye, Sons.” Passing over the racial angle, Lewis- ohn expressed the belief that con- temporary poets of America are show- ing a mare consistent high level of artistry than the novelists. For illus- tration he referred to the latest poetic . works of Edna St. Vincent Millay as ; contrasted with Sinclair Lewis’ latest novel. The former he described as a new proof of greatness, the latter he called the “last rinsings” of better work which has gone before. Mr. Lewisohn is now making his + home in Burlington, Vt. spending most of his time writing and lecturing. CHEVY CHAgE Y. W.C.

Forty-four reasons why the people of Virginia oppose a proposal of rail- roads operating in the State for a general freight rate increase were listed in a brief filed with the Inter- state Commerce Commission today by T.

Ketner, commerce COUNSEw 01 wlt V.. - ginia Corporation Commission, and said he represented the corporation commission and Virginj interests generally, to cover the te's objec- tions as a whole. More specifically he represented Southwestern Virginia, Inc.; the Danville Chamber of Com- merce, the Harrisonburg €hamber of Commerce and parties associated with them in the objections they have filed to the proposed increase. Caliing attention to figures on bituminous coal traffic through Vir- ginia as shown in his brief, the wit- ness said: “The Pocahontas Lines are not in any $ense of the word in a depressed condition, either as to ton- nage or revenue and that they are doing better than the 15-year average, starting with 1920, the all-time peak in railroad freight rates.” Apples Cited, Shipment of Virginia apples for ex- port might have been halted by high transportation ra if the United Statc, har not zone ot the goid standard, W. S. Campfield, secretary ot the Virginia State Horticultural Society, testified before the commis- | sion. Campfield, also representing the Eastern Apple Growers' Council, a federation of 19 State horticuultural societies, also appeared in opposi- tion to the general fr-~": crease proposed by rail carriers. “The apple inaust., a,,.. o be about on a level keel at the bottom,” he said, “and while we had hopes of coming back, an increase in freight rates at this time would retard any possible future upturn.” Chain Stores Fearful. W. B. Jester, general traffic man- ager of the D. Pender Grocery Co. and affiliated companies, told the commission the proposed freight rate increase wouid work against the chain stores and to the advantage of small independent merchants. G. W.
