Mr. Browne said something about the real issue being whether people would rather kill or be killed. I could scarcely believe my ears.... If you once listen to Emma Goldman talking of fundamentals you can never fall for sentimentalizations again.Will Our Readers Help?Thereis a beautiful plan on foot to helpThe Little Reviewlive through its third year. It is this:If our readers will order their books through the Gotham Book Society we will receive a certain percentage on all the sales. This arrangement has been made with the publishers, so that any book you want, whether listed in our pages or not, may be procured at the same price for which it is on sale at your local bookseller’s—and sometimes even less than that. You will find full particulars on page 50 of this issue.Radical magazines do not become popular, and the problem of meeting the cost of production every month is really a desperate one. If there is a good response to this plan we ought to make the bulk of our publishing cost out of it, and then we can devote our energies to the improvement of the magazine’s quality. Will you please keep this in mind when ordering your books? It will mean such a tremendous thing to us!The Russian Literature ClassInreply to many inquiries about the group for the study of Russian literature, we are glad to announce that the idea is in the process of realization. Early in January the group will meet, and will proceed to attend the regular lectures. The course will be offered by a Russian, who is well known to the readers ofThe Little Review. Those willing to join the adventure are asked to send their names and addresses to 834 Fine Arts Building.
