Corrections

From The New International, Vol. X No. 12, December 1944, p. 386.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

In the last installment of the series of articles by George [sic] Barrett, an unfortunate error occurred in footnote 20 in connection with John Dewey, giving an impression opposite to the one originally intended. It should read as follows: “(Incidentally the vicious attacks upon Hegel by the Nazi theoreticians do not seem to substantiate Dewey’s theory very well.) The rich potentialities of Hegelianism as attested to by the various schools: the critical atheists,” etc., etc.

A number of errors were left uncorrected in the final text of the document, Capitalist Barbarism or Socialism? printed as a supplement to the October 1944 issue of The New International. In order that the reader may read this valuable document with the utmost accuracy, we are calling attention to the important errors here.

On page 331, sixth line from bottom of col. 1 should read: “decline is made one’s firm foundation, or one simply does without.”

On page 335, thirteenth line from top of col. 1 should read: “to disturb the economic “sleep of the world” has met its limit.”

Same page, thirty-fifth line from top of col. 1 should read: “petrification” instead of “putrefaction.”

Same page, twentieth line from bottom of col. 1 should read: “with its peculiar conditions, they seek to stabilize the putrefaction and bring about the petrification by.”

On page 336, seventh line of footnote, the date of Millerand’s accession to the Ministry of Commerce should read: “1899.”

On page 345, twentieth line from top of col. 1 should read: “can be “no mass psychology” (with or without Freud) – there is.”

On page 351, twenty-ninth line from top of col. 1 is completely misplaced and should read: “Revolution, the Paris Commune, or Dreyfus scandal, at all his-.”
