The article presents the author's comments on the article "What's Wrong With the Nation," published in the November 21, 1928 issue of the journal "The Nation." There is not a thing wrong with "The Nation." Its editorials are firmly written, its reviews cut deep, and its criticism is well done. The Nation is not a national magazine. It emanates from New York, not only physically but mentally. Issue after issue shrieks at one that it has come out of New York. Its editors survey the country from New York. Its book reviewers either live in New York, or, when they do not, they write as if they did. It reviews New York plays. It carries New York advertisements. Its whole lingo is strange and foreign anywhere outside of New York.
