Note for M regarding German S' in retrospect:
I glanced over Sections V and VI and think the comments of G/GS mild:
t
mostly an example of kindly litotes. The two sections,so far as I can see,are
a prize essay putting forward the particular philosophical views of the writer,
which aren't deep.
The problem is how to get anything done about this, and I think it's
a more serious one than the Italic' paper was. The latter had at least something
to recommend it, but this hasn't anything that I have cone a cress so far.
Nevertheless, I ii had a feeling here and there that if the right person
had been able to deal with the material, the report might have been acceptable
or even aiperior. I should like to assume tx in other words, that all the facts
are there---though various professional convents make me doubnt it---and that
under various intangible conclusions there is probably some truth. The trouble
lies in basic thirld.ng, an absence of which is reflected in the vague and confus&d
?r?z writing. If someone could. exercise so e thought processes on the material
in relation to knowledge of Germany and knowledge of the relationship of the
German to the world problem, he ought to be able to bat out excellent copy on
this in a short ti"e.
