there is a right speed for a piece or movement: Pound had made much the same argument in The New Age of January 3, 1918:

A. Waley: Arthur David Waley (1889–1966), Cambridgeeducated sinologist and translator of, among other works, The Nō Plays of Japan (1922) and The Analects of Confucius (1938). Pound met Waley in London during the First World War. Waley apparently found Pound's translations of Li Po's poetry in Cathay not up to par, retranslating several of the poems in a paper presented at the China Society at the School of Oriental Studies in London.

Y …: Yale University.

The basis of credit is the abundance of nature … the whole people: In Social Credit: An Impact (1935), Pound constructs a similar argument to illustrate the virtues of Siena's Monte dei Paschi bank, “The CREDIT rests in ultimate on the ABUNDANCE OF NATURE, on the growing grass that can nourish the living sheep” (cf. note GK 194).
