As you read, bear in mind the obvious--that the War and the dreadful Thirties and first half of the Forties are long over and nothing herein is meant to disparage any modern civilized nation, state, town, or peoples, but lest we forget...

As the Bard said in The Tempest,

"We were all sea-swallow'd, though some cast again,
And by that destiny to perform an act
Whereof what's past is prologue, what to come
In yours and my discharge."

*Where an editorial bears an asterisk, the editorial is of uncertain ascription to W.J. Cash. Except where otherwise indicated, however, it is highly probable, given the style and/or subject matter of the editorial, that it is by Cash.

Each link of a particular date accesses all articles of the same date.

There are about 1,200 unascribed Cash editorials in all between November, 1937 through May, 1941, the bulk of which are yet to be added. We regularly endeavor, as time permits, to add more and will continue the process until it is complete--whenever that might be.

BOOK REVIEWS AND BOOK-PAGE EDITORIALS

1935-1941
(Listed Chronologically)

(Note that Cash's contributions to the Book-Page of The News were quite often broader editorials, having little or nothing to do with books per se or literature in general; it was here that he could write his by-lined editorials and expound more fully on a topic often started more cursorily in the regular editorial column of the paper.)

  • DAWN FOR DICTATORS - 2/27/'38 (A) - Spengler true; cycle=barbarism - feudalism - civilization and then from complexities come dictators and barbarism
  • ON CAROLINA'S PAST - 5/8/'38 (A) - Paul Green right in saying N.C. has no literary past, but definitely has historic past; people varied widely
  • WHY WE ARE NOT HUMAN - 8/7/'38 (M) - Cram article on "real humans" enslaving the bestial masses pro bono publico must be comfortable philosophy for crammers
  • WAR BOOK DELUGE - 10/8/'39 (M) - Contemporaneous books will be bad; those on scene so far just Nazi and Communist propaganda from biased U.S. journalists
