To Michael (1933?)

Thursday.

Dear brother,

both Mannheims and Szilard are trying to take care of my business; Sir Philip Hartog is on a trip to Palestine, his deputy is Makower, a technician and engineer; the other members of the committee are Cahn (King's College, Cambridge) Ginsberg, perhaps Gregory. Ernst Kahn also has an influence on the matter. Mannheim Julieka spoke with him yesterday, Julieka said it would be hard to get over my coming from Vienna, because the committee feared precedents: too many Austrians could only get in touch too soon... I will speak to Ernst Kahn personally tomorrow. He has suggested to J.M. that the Liverpooller attract a certain amount of anguish by raising further funds as a sign of their special interest in all of this: he believes that London would not cause any difficulties, even if it would provide part of the money. The day after day for the changing face of my prospects is more friendly again today, because all this looks like a rather relativistic treatment. Should Kahn confirm this impression, I intend to give Prof. Ad. Loewe to make a corresponding suggestion to Mr. Bertram B. Benas in Liverpool, to possibly ask Macmurray to make a similar move against Dr. Hetherington at Benas. Would it be right of me if I agreed to make material sacrifices myself, e.g. not to give 350 Pf. St. to peace, so that the victims would divide themselves conscientiously among all those involved? Such a step would seem rather dubious to me; I will never make such proposals unless I am, so to speak, encouraged to do so. From that point on, my suggestion was best characterized by the nature of the difficulties: for me, the most important thing today is the vocations to Liverpool.

Yesterday I met Ridney Wood from Board of Education, who wants to bring me together with Sir Walter Layton. The Austrian singer welcomed me with the greatest kindness and was very useful to me; I healed those wished by his recommendation.

Addresses inssemmt. My three-hour conversation with V.A. Demant, the scientific advisor of the Christian Social Council, was quite pricey; just as a presentation on Tuesday before the Archbishop of York's Committee.(Present were Sir Wyndham Deeds of the National Council of Social Service), Macmurray, Zoe Fairfield, Eleonora Iredale, for the Archbishops Committee, and J.H. Oldham, former Secretary of the Continuation Committee of the International Review of Missions, Peter Scott, the leader of the Christian unemployment settlements. All left of various treasures. I was almost the most conservative in the circle...).
