Introduction to the MIA presentation of the New Masses.
The Vol 51, No. 8 May 24 1944 issue of New Masses has in its contents box on page 2 a NOTE that explains:
"This [issue number 8, even though the previous issue is issue number 6] is the correct number. The March 28, 1944 issue should have been numbered Vol. L, No. 13 instead of Vol L. No. 12."
The implication I draw is that issues April 13 thru May 16 of 1944 New Masses are ALL incorrectly numbered.
This because the March 28, 1944 (Volume 50) issue is incorrectly numbered "Number 12", when it should be numbered "Number 13". March 21, 1944 is the "real" v50n12 issue.
April 03, 1944 should thus be Volume 51, Number 01 (not v50n13)
And the next six issues, April 10, 1944 thru May 16, 1944, are also all incorrectly numbered as a result. Their "number" designation should be one more than what they state it is in the issue. Numbers 2 thru 7, not numbers 1 thru 6.
The problem, as noted in the May 24, 1944 issue, is corrected in that issue, which correctly is given the issue number of "8".
