Lorentz Haarlem, 21 April 1924 Encloses a picture of the Einstein Tower and asks whether it is of the actual building or of whether it is a model that was not chosen.

Is now in agreement with AE on the temperature dependence of the s (see Doc. 216 and Abs. 337). Repeats his response to (2c) as formulated in Abs. 337. Will not publish a retraction of his paper, but considers writing a paper with further discussion. ALS. [12 125]. 351. From Henryk Doktorowicz Warsaw, 4 May 1924 His reply has been delayed because he has been attacked in the press by Zionists and anti-Semites for his appearance before the League of Nations in Geneva (see Abs. 345). He has explained his position in the press and at meetings. The anti-Semites in Oliwa are organizing against his plan. He will travel there after having met with Polish prime minister W¤adys¤aw Grabski. As to Max Warburg’s refusal to support the project, he is not well informed of the tragic situation of the Jews all over the world (see Abs. 341). Not all young Jewish students want or can attend the university in Jerusalem. American Jews are aware of the plight of their brethren in Russia, and Polish Jews are aware of the situation of the Jews in Asia. Hopes that Rothschild in London, Flexner and Warburg in the U.S., and Bergson in France will not refuse to cooperate. Offers to take on the orga- nizational tasks when authorized by AE. ALS.
