BR and the propaganda committee of the No-Conscription Fellowship approve of Housman's pamphlet but lack the funds to publish it as a pamphlet at this time. The text may be the article "The Mind of To-morrow" published under Housman's name in the next issue of The Tribunal, no. 66 (12 July 1917): 1. No other work by Housman is mentioned in the next four months of The Tribunal.

BR tries to fundraise: "If you know any one who would be willing to contribute to our funds, I should be deeply grateful for your assistance in begging—which is always an odious job!"
