Abstract

Well, it’s a long time since we have written to each other. Thanks for your two letters and for the picture of the infant. He seems to be quite an active fellow, very interested in life. Perhaps I shall be able to see him one of these years.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Work out a few simple examples of this in your article.

  2. 2.

    How can the Labour Party propose socialist measures and re-armament at the same time? Rearmament means that further benefits to the people are impossible, so that their socialist program is empty.

  3. 3.

    Perhaps a comic book entitled “dialectical Dick” will be more appropriate, since by the time America is ready to become socialist, most of the people will have become effectively illiterate.

  4. 4.

    For example, I have heard from someone that in a debate on causality given in Paris, when our friend Vigier got up to defend causality, he was strongly cheered by the audience (which contained a great many students). I will guess that many of the younger people in Europe recognise that the question of causality has important implications in politics, economics, sociology, etc.

  5. 5.

    This is also a proof that these problems are not so very easy to solve.
