Daniel Aaron's chapter on Dos Passos, footnote 2

2. *NR*, XCIX (June 14, 1939), p. 163. In his review of *The Adventures of a Young Man*, Farrell interpreted the largely unfavorable criticism of the book as "a warning to writers not to stray off the reservations of the Stalinist-controlled League of American Writers to which more than one of the critics belong." Farrell had hard things to say about Cowley, Louis Kronenberger, and Alfred Kazin. See *American Mercury*, XVII (Aug. 1939), pp. 489-94.
