EDITORIALS 1 57 



NAMES WANTED FOR SAMPLE COPIES 



The publisher wants at once 1500 names of persons who will 

 probably care to see copies of The Review. Please send list 

 this week if possible; but names for sample copies are gladly 

 received from subscribers at any time. 



MANUSCRIPTS SHOULD BE CORRECT 



Corrections in proof have become very expensive and so here- 

 after the editor must ask contributors to take special care in 

 revising manuscript before setting in type. Changes in proof 

 which are not the fault of editor or printer will be charged to 

 authors at the rate of three cents for every line in which a 

 change, even a comma, occurs. This is the average expense to 

 the editor. 



PROFITS OF THE REVIEW 



A reader, who in December last cancelled her subscription 

 "because a friend also takes The Review," asks the question, 

 "Who gets the profits from The Review. It has been widely 

 advertised as a cooperative journal, but surely somebody is 

 making money out of it. My friend, who is a printer, tells me 

 that 2000 subscribers at one dollar means profit." 



In answer to such readers who demand an accounting, the 

 managing editor begs to say: (i) that there is profit in 2000 sub- 

 scribers at $1.00, but that so far many of these 2000 possible sub- 

 scribers have, like the writer of the letter mentioned, decided 

 to help the movement by using a friend's copy or borrowing 

 from a library. Moreover, the average of $1.00 per subscriber 

 is purely theoretical, for a large number of subscribers send 

 their periodical orders to agencies which charge a commission; 

 in fact two large agencies practically demand 50% on new sub- 

 scriptions as the price for listing The Review in their catalogue. 

 Finally, in order to settle all doubts concerning profits, the 

 managing editor stands ready to open to the inspection of any 

 one interested the books and vouchers proving that up to date 

 The Review has cost the managing editor personally nearly 

 one thousand dollars for printing, advertising and clerical 

 assistance. The deficit in the first year was approximately $650, 

 last year $250, and so far this year $100. This personal loss
