Dear Paulus:,

In the name of Brecht, Feuchtwanger, Kortner and Heinrich Mann, I ask you to do us the favor of entering our Radio Committee. The purpose is to take part in the propagandistic efforts of the United Nations to make the german people realize that their government is leading them into a catastrophe. I have accepted myself the invitation of Feuchtwanger to join the group because I felt that this group could make a real contribution. The institute will provide it with economic an sociological data, but there will be a great need for material on the ecclesiastical situation.

Dorothy Thompson has approached the Columbia Broadcasting System and it is very probable that we will have a regular 15 minutes for information and sketches in the german language over their shortwave sender. As soon as the definite answer of C. B. S. is received, we shall send you our proposals for the first transmissions and ask you for your own suggestions.

Among the speakers whose voices we intend to use is Thomas Mann, Chaplin, and other personalities well known both in the United States and Germany.

If the project with the C. B. S. should |:not:| work out, we intend to take steps in order to be incorporated in the government propaganda work.

A particular reason why I personally wish your participation, not only as a contributor, but as a member of the committe, is that science is better represented than it would be only by one member. We are thinking of having some more members in New York, but nobody will be invited without your approval.

Please forgive me that I do not write longer to-day since I have devoted any minute which I could spare in the last weeks to the article which you will read very soon and which I completed with Teddy last night at 3 A. M. I am very eager to know what you say about it since it is the first "official" result of this cooperation. But I feel rather tired at this moment. Give all my love to Hannah and the children, also from Maidon.

Most cordially,

Your Max H.
