To the Editor:
I cannot refrain from sending you a line or two of appreciation for COMMENTARY. The quality of the articles you secure is altogether remarkable. Any editor who can within the issues for three months secure such contributors as Handlin, Alvin Johnson, Rabbi Finkelstein, Karl Polanyi, and A. H. Raskin, to mention only a few, must have positive genius for editorship. Not only do you get extraordinary contributors, but you give them space enough to handle their themes adequately. For all of which I am thankful.

To the Editor:
Daniel Bell’s paper “Adjusting Men to Machines” seems to me virtually epoch-making, and Karl Polanyi’s “Our Obsolete Market Mentality” is a worthy successor of his book, which when I read it, I found the most enlightening account of the important historical events in the last century-and-a-half I had ever read.
