17!IDDING 011' TI:!E SBiiSONS I . s. Riohter .

Rejoioel ~or Heaven in tho garb of a,r ing Drives winter with his cold and loy s t ing AWQ¥ from earth, and yonder rapture- bearing SWallow wakes the heart t o dance a nd sing .

The trees are dressed in holiday arrQ¥ , a fee ti ve mood is everywhere at pla;v ; A benediction stirs on ever;v lip, Jt.nd all human! t;v is tree and gay.

An Eden fragrance fills t he atmosphere , Zhe sunshine warrns and f loods the a ir ~ith cheer; The birds are caroling a symphony of bl ise, And av10e t is a ll the earth, for spr ing is bere .

How exquisitely good ie life t odayl How warm and lovely ee.oh nusp i oioua ray~ ZSoh breath inhalee int oxicating glee , And dear is l ife , and freeh , and sweat in uay.

nhen all tho world is one exulting t hr ong • . 'llld all of Nature , jubilant and s trong, Bow can I brood if I but ask myself : "Row long t his l ovely spring will last , how long?"

If Baoohua greets m;v wine-depl eted gate And holds befor e my lips t oo dry of lat e , A nectar f r an his finest ~intage pros t , By a ll t he laws of reason , dare I wait?

Of al l tho knowledge gleaned f rom classic pen, Of e ll tho ~isdom har ves t ed from men , One ~age I h~vo garnered us my guide: "If not myself, who? And if no t n~ - when?"

Each d~y is liko a poor loss diamond, mined From some oold, unyielding earth ; a matohl oss find 17hich somo relont loas god of Tirne , in his Mad flight unconeoioualy has l eft bohind.

And this sweat moment that is oo rarely mine, And lifts my yoa1·ning soul to some divino Beatit ude , I shall not sell it for Somo empty waro or leas ot horeal wine .

Baoohue, if you would hood but one deair o Of him who l ot no other gods oonopir o Againe t your high~r divinity, than deign To fill mo with your old oolosti a l fire .

Dea.r Sir a-

lla.Y 29 . 1938,

I acknowledge with thanka receipt of your letter of lla.Y 19th.

In taking the liberty of writing you again, I haTe in mind that perhapa you contemplate making a pereonal aurTey of the Central-!uropean situation prior to the firat meeting or the international group, which meeting I under­stand wi.ll take place in ITian-lea-Bains in July. By such a preliminary surTey it might be possible to ascertain the extent of the need for the serTice to be rendered, the general situation ot t he claeses to be aided (Jewe , Catholics and Protestants) and the attitude of the German Government in such a way that at the meeting of the international group not only the formal organization could be accompliehed, but that there would be a much more concrete baeia for laying out t he plana or the actual work, This would mean a Taluable saTing of time ,

The principal phaee of such a aurTey would conaiet ot confidential oonTtraationa, without any publicity, with the le&dera of the German Jewe ae well ae with repreaentatiTe peraona ot the Cathalic and Protestant faith. In addition to that it might be Taluablt to haTe aome informal conTere­ationa with t hoa t repreatnt&tiTea or the German GoTernment with whom the international organization would ooee into contact after it hae beJ.._ to function, ao that a general idea may be obtained w~thtr the international organization would meet with co-operation , neutrality , or obatruction on the part ot the German authoritiea. Thia laet phaet would probably require coneultation with the ~rican Jmbassy in Berlin,

It you aa chairman or the American committee !ttl that a aurTtY or thia nature would aerTt a uettul purpoee, I would be willing to act ae your eecretary and interpreter without any compenaation . I haTe in Berlin teTtral Jewieh contacta which may proTt uaetul tor the endt to attained, One of t heae it an attorney at 1 .. , belonging t o a proainent

I bag to add t hat in my practice I mostly

have to do wi th casaa o! c ommerc ial (especial l y o!

Cur re ncy -Law) and Internationa l Privata Law and this

maka a it Quite clear that my scientific publications era

in close connection with my practical wor k . Lawyers vary

o! ten seek my advise on all kind s o! questi ons conce rning

these matters . I !ur tbar beg t o in!orm you that , when I was

a you ng lawyer I was Reader in " Financial Science" at t he

"Volksheim" o! Vie nna and that I also gave private

le ssons t o students or law, te aching them various matte rs

concerning lew. Late l y one or the other wall known

Ls~cyar ' s Association or Vienna invited me to delive r a

lectu re in International Privata Law and on Tax Law. I

t herefore may ventu r a to say that I have a thorough

knowledge of all mat ters concerning l aw and a Wide

ex perience in acianti! i c wo rk and in the l ine o!

instruction and lecturing .

I was a disciple o! Pro!. Hans ~alsen and

Pro! . Miaes ( Na t ional-EConomist) and belonged to their " narrower scientific ci r cle , pa rt icipating on t he

sci en tific discusaions which took place at the various

meetings o! this ci r cle .

I am intending and endea vo uring to gat

soma wo r k tn the law-line in America and to be admitted

at the ba r, provided tha t there ts~y posaibittty . As I only can apply ror my naturalization arter a 5 year•s stay in America I am compelled t o earn my living dur ing thi s per iod . Owing t o my wtde experience in acientiric work I should very much like to ge t a temporary occupation in some rie ld or scientiric law , which does not necessi~te the knowledge or pos it ive American law, WhiCh I have yet t o study . I should very much like to get an appointment as Heade r i n Private International ~aw , Comme rcial Law or Le ga l Philosophy , I a lso have a ver y Wide experience in Nationa l sconomy , social Science , General Philosophy especial lY in t he Hi stor y or Philosophy a nd rurt he r having a special l iking ror teaching I should ap nreciate it ver y mu ch to ge t an appointment at a college or at any ot her High School or Sducation . I should also be very glad to get an occupa tion at the studY or an American l avzyer rirm , who migh t nee d a collaborator versed in European Law ~ nd in interna tional Law or to get a job at t he star r or a joint compa ny , It goes wl thout saying , t hat I am content with the smallest salary , more so as my wi re i s l ikely t o get some employment soone r than I and besides I have mea ns ot my own , which according to the prese nt r egu l ations , l shall be permitted to take al ong , and on which I pre sumablY wi ll be able t o live !or a year or so.

LONDON, W.C. I .

14th JUne , 1938 .

~ny than.s f or your progr~e telling ce that the arrival or the ~er1can starr or the Conference has been postponed . I am sorry for that , because i t will l eave a very ahort time after t heir arrival t o prepare a programme and plana ror the Conference . But I hope 1t has been possible for you or tho State Depar tment t o inform the Governments or the scope and broad lines or t he progra~e or the Conference , and or the constitution of the Acerican Delegat ion.

On my return from ~lorence I sow the official at our Foreign Office• who has been particularly concerned with the refugee quest ions , and told him or our talk, and he was very glad to have the inr o:-cation.

I am disappoi~ted also that i t has not been possible yet to get an agreement or t he Jewish Organisations representee on the Council about o Uemorandum concerni~ the whole problem . There is a great diversity o~ view among them. The preparation or the oharta about the distribution

or the Jews in the ~orld, th~ Jewish population in Germany and Austria , eto ., which you wished to have ror the Conterence~haa been undertaken by t he office or the American Joint Distribution Committee in Paris , and I hope t he charta will be ready ror you when you arrive in Paris next week.
