Paulette Singley sent me this oddly prescient text from Le Corbusier’s Precisions: “The Voison Plan for Paris; Buenos Aires” Finally, Mr. Daniel Serruys declared, in a lecture on Paris at the Geography Hall this spring to an audience of senators, of deputies, of city councilors, of manufacturers, that the Voison Plan was the only solution that dared to call for energetic measures, and that only far-reaching measures could prevent the immanent disaster. At the moment of printing this book, Lieutenant colonel Vauthier submits to me a work to be published by Berger-Levrault: The Aerial Danger and the Future of the Country.
