My boss needs to find a quote from TS Eliot

Eliot was asked around 1931 what he sees as the future, given what is happening in the culture, and he responds something like "people killing one another in the street." Then, I saw that it was in response to a question from Stephen Spender.

If anyone has the quote and the exact source, it would be greatly appreciated.
