Abstract

This Week. Sacred Lunatics

A chief disability of living in America is that one cannot easily hear dramatist Bernard Shaw's lecture. That is one of the joys life offers to the favored ones of this generation and it is a pity that it is beyond the reach of most of us. The author has an unsatisfactory substitute in the form of a small book containing the report of a recent public debate between Shaw and English writer Gilbert Keith Chesterton. But if Mr. Shaw is Utopian, Mr. Chesterton is Arcadian. Since his remarks are discursive it may do as well, by way of presenting his position, to quote from the statement of principles of the Distributist League printed at the end of the book "The League."
