"So you see, I am carefully studying the 'Pre-Convention Discussions' printed in your paper and elsewhere, and forming, altering, and revising Convention pans to fit the wishes of fandom expressed therein.

"The mechanism for such a club is needed but I recognize the fact that 100% participation and cooperation of all fandom is out of the question," he declared. "The Futurian League can form an excellent basis for a general fan club," he continued. Is the Futurian League anything like David A. Kyle's idea of a Federation of Clubs with a National Congress as its ruling body? "It would in effect be like the Federation of National Congress idea. The difference would be that every fan who wanted to be a member could be a member without being elected to his position," he admitted. This time he was absolutely certain we were stuck.

We almost had him then but he was too slick. What does he think of the SFL, we asked? "I think the SFL under competent, sincere and farsighted management can perform a worthy service to science fiction," he replied. And what does he think of the SF? "I think the SF has gotten off to an excellent start and needs only to keep up the pace to be a science fiction organization worthy of the name."

Lovecraft Volumes Two distinct books containing stories by H.P. Lovecraft have appeared to date. There is "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" put out in a $1 black cloth edition by the Visionary Publishing Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. It contains four illustrations by Frank Upatel. The other book, an omnibus volume entitled, "The Outsider and others," contains, with but a few minor exceptions, all the stories of Lovecraft, together with his complete "Supernatural Horror in Literature," and a biographical sketch of Lovecraft. Copies may be obtained from August Derleth, Sauk City, Wisconsin, for $5.
