Einstein May Not Return to Germany—Hitlerite Coni
Berlin.—Professor Albert Einstein,
now on his way to California, may not
return to Germany, but may take up
his residence in some other country,
in the event that the Hitlerites obtain
control of Germany, it is reported here
in circles cognizant of Doctor Ein
stein’s plans.
Replying to an inquiry from the Jew
ish Telegraphic Agency, Dr. Boris
Brutzkus, a leader of the World Ort,
close friend of Doctor Einstein and
the man who brought the great savant
to London recently for the Ort-Ozet
dinner, said that the report may be
true since Doctor Einstein told him that
he would prefer to settle in some quiet
resort in Southern France where he could
carry on his work quietly if the Hitlerites
ever gain the upper hand in Germany.
Los Angeles.—A suggestion that ac
tion be taken to prevent Professor
Albert Einstein from visiting in Cali
fornia, because of his speech in New
York in which he urged men of mili
tary age to refuse to fight as a means
of preventing war, was made recently
at a meeting of the Los Angeles
branch of the American Legion. Pro
fessor Einstein’s views on pacifism
were attacked by Dr. A. D. Houghton,
one of the organizers of the American
Legion. At the close of Doctor Hough
ton’s speech some legionnaires ap
plauded, while others booed.
“All accounts agree that he advo
cated that 2 per cent of the popula
tion of military countries could stop
war because the jails are not large
enough to hold 2 per cent of the
population. To comment on this nos
trum is unnecessary and could only be
unkind. The Einstein speech must be
set down as a slightly undignified and
rather turgid baying at the moon. The
‘monarch of the .modern mind’ would
do well to stay on his relativistic
throne. It begins to totter when he
leaves it.”
Pacifist and Socialist organizations
of New York have, on the other hand,
expressed praise for Einstein’s anti
war utterances. The War Resisters’
League, of which the Rev. John
Haynes Holmes is chairman, sent a
message to Einstein which declared:
"The War Resisters’ League, the ex
isting organization for militant pacif
ism in this country, which at heavy
cost has been sustaining the ideals ex
pressed by you, enthusiastically ap-
plaus your speech before the New His
tory Society. We welcome your advo
cacy of war resistance, and refusal of
military service, and earnestly solicit
your endorsement of uor work.”
A similar message to Doctor Ein
stein was sent by Marx Lewis, execu
tive secretary of the Socialist party,
New York District, who also endorsed
Professor Einstein’s proposal for the
creation of a “war resistance fund”.
port saying that he might not return
to Germany, but would settle in an
other country after his present visit
to the United States if the National
Socialists should take over the Ger
man government, Doctor Einstein did
not deny it, but authorized the follow
ing statement:
“One should not speak publicly about
conditions which one hopes will not
come to pass. Still less should one un
der such circumstances make any de
cisions in advance or even make pub
lic such decisions.”
Although Professor Einstein was
very careful in wording his statement,
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s cor
respondent has good reason to believe
that despite this formal and discreet
reply, the father of the Theory of Rel
ativity is seriously considering a change
in his permanent place of residence
from Germany to some still unselected
haven where his researches could be
carried on undisturbed by any possi
ble political upheaval.
Professor Einstein’s guarded intima
tion that he w r ould not return to Ger
many in the event of a Hitler coup
d’etat is based on his apparent un
willingness to live in a Germany ruled
by the Hitlerites. The distinguished
savant has not only been subject to
frequent attacks by the anti-Semitic
press, but has been faced with a de
mand to deport him and an attempt
to assassinate him in his own home.
In January, 1925, a woman invaded
his residence w r ith the intention of kill
ing him, but the resourcefulness of
Mrs. Einstein prevented the would-be
assassination. Der Hammer, an anti-
Semitic poper published in Leipzig, de
manded Professor Einstein’s deporta
tion in 1927. “The ‘Polish’ Jew ought
to be deported from where he came,”
the paper said.
From time to time Doctor Einstein’s
scientific work has been attacked not
on the basis of science but in a spirit
of prejudice. On the eve of his de
parture for America in November the
anti-Semitic press launched a campaign
of ridicule against him, Professor Jo
hann Stark, Hitlerite theoretician,
terming the Theory of Relativity un
productive and complaining against ap
praising Einstein above Newton and
Kant.
Aw’are of the prejudice against him.
Doctor Einstein jocularlv remarked in
1929. when the Sorbonne conferred an
honorary degree on him. that if his
Theory of Relativity “is proven suc
cessful, Germany will claim me as a
German and France will declare that
I am a citizen of the world. Should
my theory prove untrue, France will
say that I am a German, and Germany
will declare that I am a Jew”.
After his recent radio speech from
London, the Austrian Radio Corpora
tion apologized for re-broadcast.,
saying that it was unaware that
fessor Einstein was to deliver ],
ganda for the Jews. The apology
lowed a vigorous attack upon th-
poration by the anti-Semitic pre
