13 February. -- It's an outrage!
A denial of justice! A monstrous assassination! The decree has just appeared
in the newspapers and I'll be damned if they haven't placed artists and
writers in amongst "those consumers whose upkeep is not offset by
any justifiable compensation"! I might possibly have understood if
the measure applied to painters, to sculptors, to musicians. But to writers!
In this, there is an inconsistency, an aberration, which shall remain the
supreme shame of our time. For, after all, the usefulness of writers needs
no demonstration, certainly not mine, I can say in all modesty. Now I shall
be entitled to only fifteen days of existence per month.
