Esteemed Doctor,
I am unfortunately not free on Tuesday evening. I don’t quite understand why
one is still negotiating about the two points you mentioned.
Although it cannot be denied that the League of Nations has failed on all the ma-
jor problems, its preservation and strengthening still is urgently desirable in the Eu-
ropean interest and quite especially in the Jewish interest.
About the excesses of anti-Semitism, I know of no recommendable direct mea-
sure, but certainly a prophylactic one: modest and inconspicuous deportment in
public, not just by men, but also by
women.[1]
There is no doubt that not enough
use has been made of this remedy. It would perhaps be useful to draw our own peo-
ple’s attention to this important point.
In utm[ost] respect,
A. Einstein.
