From Eduard Bernstein Berlin, 3 November 1926 The latest issue of the New Statesman contains a critique of the debate between J. L. Garvin and G. B. Shaw on capitalism vs. socialism that was published in the new sup- plement to the Encyclopædia Britannica. Sends a copy. ALS. [34 602]. The New Statesman criticizes the new supplementary volumes of the Encyclopædia Bri- tannica for publishing current polemics instead of facts and “dispassionate estimates.” Even though the journal does not agree with the policy of inviting scientists to comment on their achievements, either, this might be acceptable in the case of strictly scientific subjects, as is the case with AE and his “extraordinary capacity” to explain his results (see Einstein 1926d [Doc. 148]). But others, such as S. Freud, should not have been al- lowed to do so, because his “science” has not been recognized as such by the scientific community. Sends a handwritten copy of the article ([34 603]). ALS. [34 502]. 627. From Leonhard Koeppe Halle a. S., 3 November 1926 Is highly published professor for physiology and opthalmologic optics and microscopy at the University of Halle, and has spent the last three years as a researcher with Bausch and Lomb Optical Co. in Rochester, N.Y.

From Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe Kiel, 6 November 1926 As a follow-up to Abs. 625, sends a copy of his letter to Paul Langevin. For the time being the firm has suspended the development of the Echolot (sonar) and cannot take up a new apparatus. TLS. Lohmeier and Schell 2005, p. 221. [37 403]. 629. From Bankhaus Gebr. Arnhold Berlin, 6 November 1926 Following up on their telephone conversation of the previous day, and Abs. 481, the firm has consulted with the Zentrale für private Fürsorge, Berlin, and has ascertained that So- vine is well known to the Zentrale since 1925. He has been assisted in his attempts to leave for Haiti (see Abs. 474), but has always returned to Berlin from Cologne, Paris, Frankfurt, and Hamburg, after having been issued free transportation tickets.
