This is an effort to mobilize American Authors; to get all the
people who write-no matter what they write about !-to join
together in expressing human sympathy. There are very many
of us in the United States; thousands and thousands of us! We
write history, novels, plays; we write scientific books and tech-
nical books; we write essays and poetry and propaganda, and if
every one of us will give his or her dollar (more, if we want
to, of course!) our craft will be doing its part to lessen the pain
of the world. The enclosed circular suggests that we shall get
together-we people who endeavor to express thought,- and
express the Master thought of Life-Brotkerhood.
