COPY ANDREWS, HADDEN & PUTNAM 1882 Union Commerce Building Cleveland 14 October 29, 1047 Dr. Albert Einstein, Chairman, Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, Room 28, 90 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey Dear Dr. Einstein: Thank you very much for your cordial letter of the 23rd, which gives us renewed inspiration in our efforts to help through the non-partisan public move of Workers for World Security to bring about some effective form of world government. I have also had a phone call from Dr. Krasik, who will be here on Saturday to complete the details of the arrangements for your talk to the meetings here. I can assure you we are all delighted to have your personal support on your own terms. I am sure you understand from our Constitution and literature that our objective is identical with yours, namely: to help create a general sentiment for some form of effective world government. We emphasize throughout, as you know, that the means and details must be and are are left to the statesmen of the world. The well diversified leaders of the various groups sponsoring the program here should be ade-quate assurance to anyone that this movement is not in the hands of, and cannot be used by, any particular sect or group. I am enclosing a final corrected proof of Instructions to Workers which is just going to press. There can be no possible conflict, of course, between the educational efforts of any other group to this general end and this effort to make a formal record through membership solicitation of those who are in favor of this broad basic purpose. May I again assure you of our deep appreciation of your help. Sincerely yours, /s/ John B. Putnam John B. Putnam JBP:M Encl.
