From the “Vintage This England” column in the New Statesman, culled from a compilation volume published in 1937:

Church Magazine
Superb. Indeed, as Lee Harvey Oswald might possibly have said – had he not run into Jack Ruby – anyone with the intellect of a rabbit should be investigated by the Warren Commission.
