mittee and the Swedish Academy,
Lewis, however, struck an optimistic
note as to the future of literature and
art in America.
“The United States is emerging from
the stuffiness of safe, sane and dull
provincialism", he said.
Without mentioning any names,
Lewis referred to Henry* Van Dyke,
president of the National Institute of
Arts and Letters in the United States
and one of the Americans wjio criti-
cized the Nobel committee for award-
ing the prize to Lewi*.
The author expressed the hope "that
this former diplomat will not demand
the landing of United States Marines
at ‘ ^Stockholm to protect American
literary rights".
Lewis also suggested that the Swed-
ish Academy “honored America by
assuming that Americans are not a i
back woods qlan afraid of crit- <
icism, but rather" ma(lire' and able to J
contemplate dissection of their land”. '

Stockholm, Sweden, December 12.—
Sinclair Lewis formally accepted " the

and. at the same time, delivered a pun-
gent condemnation of the state of civ-
ilization in the United State*.

a distinguished gathering of Scandi-

^derided "American commercialisin’' .
which he said assigned an •'inrenvr*'

The lanky, red-haired author told hi*
hearers that “the artist doe* not count
in a country producing 80-*tory build-
ings, million* of automobile* and bil-
lions of bushels of wheat”. .
Characterizing himself Xr “honest
but indiscreet and a little impolite”,
Lewis extended his sweeping ‘attack
over broad fields, declaring "business
lords rule the United States” Which he
described a* "the world's most con-
tradictory, stirring and depressing
