compliment when one is asked to disagree, perhaps, with those
with whom one shares a fundamental and a great philosophy of
life and economics. ...I am not a devout and sentimental
believer in Henry George; I am simply one of those who cannot
escape from his keen intellectual analysis and the economic
principles from which his logic offers no escape. ...We must
become a living part of the issues and forces of our own day.
...Our obligation is to train leadership, to work with and
within human associations. One cannot shape life by recoiling
from it."

reviewed in The New Age, 15 September, p.472: "The
book has not yet been written which adequately describes
America. Mr. Wells has not quite achieved success. No American
has yet produced a book on America in the least worth while. Mr.
Henry James will never write the reat work on the meaning of the
Nietzschean nation, for he has been too completely de-yanked for
that. Mr. Louis F. Post will not write it, for he is very Yank
of very Yank, garrulous, cocksure, and intolerably conceited.
The book of his, "Social Service," contains 361 pages
of argument mainly about Henry George and the Single Tax: quite
half of it is the veriest padding. The book is written as a
series of conversations between Mr. Post and an extraordinary
inarticulate doctor (for the gentlemen never opens his mouth
monce during the course of the 361 pages)."
