Liquid capital Is sensitive, and quickly flees when its safety is endangered. . Capital always runs away from revolutions, political or so cial seeking shelter in countries where conditions are stable, fv,' . .i . . ? 'America is the natural beneficiary. A good deal of otttA accumulated gold and easy credit is duo to social and economic upsets in Europe the last few years.

Sinclair Lewis, famous author of "Main Street," "Babbitt" and! "Arrowsmith," given the .Pulitzer award for the best American novel produced last year, will have none of it. i . The renunciation of the $1,000 Mr. Sinclair can well afford, after publishing three best sellers in succession. The advertising due to the award remains his, increased by his repudiation of the prize. But it may be assumed that the author is sincere in his position. Why, then, docs he .take this seemingly ungracious attitude? " ... Prizes and formal honors, he thinks, are no good for art. He assails the, whole policy and program of Pulitzer prizes, vhich cover, along with fiction, newspaper editorials, news .writing, cartoons, plays, American history, biography and Verse, along with various scholarships' for students. Such rewards,' he insists, tend to enslave art and ro 'duce talent to stereotyped standards, instead of encourag ing freedom, independence and originality.' ! Ho fears that ;the prize for novels, for example, is in danger of developing into, a "sanctified tradition," and its arbitors' may become a literary "college of cardinals.'' '-' . ' ; , Really, it can hardly lie so bud as that. Such prizes ire hither T-ewnrd and recognition given 'to -fine work, not so much for the sake of the winnow who may not need them as for the encouragement of young, struggling and .ambitious men . and women of talent. . alMt!?'
