What Bartok composition was it?

In the excellent "Bartok and His World" (ed Peter Laki) there's a reference to (and a quotation from) a concert review by Cage, in Modern Music 19 (1942) in which he praises a Bartok composition which most critics treated with contempt. Does anyone know whether Cage's reviews have been republished? It looks as if they could be of great interest.
