  • Fantasy Review Would Long Since Have Given up the Struggle
    FA NI TASY REV It VV Vol. III. No. 15 ONE SHILLING SUMMER'49 EXTENSION In discussing the disproportionate production costs which hamper any publishing venture catering for a limited circle of readers, Mr. August Derleth, editor and publisher of The Arkham Sampler, announces the imminent suspension oI that valuable periodical. Which prompts us to point out that, had it been launched as a proflt-making proposition, Fantasy Review would long since have given up the struggle. Only the continued support of its advertisers-which made it possible in the flrst place-has enabled ii to survive and' encouraged by the tangible entirusiasm of its comparatively small number of subscribers, develop into somet'hing more substantial than it was in its first two years of life. The letters we have published since its enlargement give evidence of the desire of its readers for more frequent publication; and we wish we were in a position to respond to this demand. Instead of which, due to production difficulties which we are powerless to resolve at present. $e have to announce that it becomes necessary for us to issue Fa.ntasy Review a,t quarterly intervals, as a temporary measure. OnIy thus can we contrive to maintain both the standard of contents and regularlty of appearance which have made its reputation, and at the same time embark on the further development which is essential to its progress in other respects. At first sight, this might seem a retrogressive step. But although subscribers must now wait longer for each lssue' they wi]I soon be aware of the improvements which the less frequent publishing schedule will permit us to introduce as from the next (Autumn, '49) issue, which will see a modiflcation in the title of this journal the better to convey the greater seope of its a$icles and features.

Charter is based on resolutions passed at its International Congresses and may be summarised as follows: P.E.N. affirms that: 1. Literature knows no frontiers and must remain common currency among people in spite of political or international upheavals. 2. In all circumstances, and particularly in time of war, works of art, the patrimony of humanity at large, should be left untouched by national or political passion. 3. Members of P.E.N. should at all times use what influence they have in favour of good understanding and mutual respect between nations; they pledge themselves to do their utmost to dispel race, class and national hatreds, and to champion the ideal of one humanity living in peace in one world. 4. P.E.N. stands for the principle of unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations, and members pledge themselves to oppose any form of suppression of freedom of expression in the country and community to which they belong, as well as throughout the world wherever this is possible. P.E.N. declares for a free press and opposes arbitrary censorship in time of peace. It believes that the necessary advance of the world towards a more highly organized political and economic order renders a free criticism of governments, administrations and institutions imperative.

  • Ibogaine: Fantasy and Reality
    CHAPTER V IBOGAINE: FANTASY AND REALITY BOGAINE IS ONE OF THE TWELVE alkaloids obtained from the root of the plant Tabernanthe iboga found in West Africa. From vague reports as to its local use in the Congo, it was believed to be mainly a stimulant, and it is as such that it is mentioned in De Ropp's Drugs and the Mind. It is as a stimulant, too, that iboga extract was introduced into French medicine several decades ago. In July 1966 I presented, at the conference on psyche- delic substances organized in San Francisco by Richard Baker (Roshi) for the University of California, a report on my initial work with the alkaloid as an adjunct to psycho- therapy, which described the hallucinogenic effects of the higher doses of ibogaine. Since then, it has been used in a similar context by an increasing number of psychia- trists, mostly in South America. For the writing of the present account, I have exam- ined notes from forty therapeutic sessions with thirty pa- tients, in which I used either ibogaine or total iboga ex- Gershon's finding that ibogaine is an inhibitor of MA0 (mono- amine oxidase) explains its classic use and shows that it was the first antidepressant of this kind in official medicine, much be- fore the advent of iproniazide, Tofranil, and so on. tract, plus ten sessions with a different group, in which I used iboga extract in conjunction with one or another amphetamine. In my general statements, I am also draw- ing upon a wider experience not documented by notes which I could use for statistics.
