NOTE: The next six issues of New Masses from 1937 have a numbering error printed in them. April 13 through May 18 1937 say they are Volume 23 number 4 through 9. This was an error by the publisher. In fact, they are Volume 23 number 3 through 8. The publisher corrected this error with the May 25 1937 issue, numbering that one correctly as Volume 23, Number 9. We here have listed these issues by the the number they should bear, not by the number they do bear. [This avoids the confusion of having TWO Volume 23 Number 9 issues.]
