Care Frater
I perfectly agree with you, the scattering of that poem broadcast would do immense good but more especially in the States. It's not in to-days Rimes I see, I wish you had sent it to John Suchan at our London place, Paternoster Row, but as I've made an effort with the firm today, wait,—Monday is our busiest day of all, but I seized an opportunity to bring it under Mr Brown's notice. Before I got it well into his hands we were interrupted and I had to leave it. I will try again tomorrow, but for reasons known to myself, I am not very hopeful.
Personally I believe hat to bring Germany to her knees instantly the States have only to throw their weight into the scale and there seem indications that this will come. If I were in a position to do so I would guarantee the firm the expenses of production, but for heavens sake don't assume that Nelsons are the only publishers or that I have sufficient influence with them. I will do my best, you may be sure and am doing for you what I wouldn't do for myself. I will let you know at once of any result tomorrow.
The wonder is that the Louvain business and the Antwerp bombs did not make the States see their obvious duty at once. I always have wondered why remain neutral against the obvious World Enemies. Death to the Huns! Good for you, to go to the F.O. Strike hard and low and to Hell with the Huns, Master.
