Notes, topics or text

BR has had little time to think about the Sixth International Congress for the Unity of Science and can only endorse what seems good to Morris. He was "distressed to hear that Otto Neurath was interned in England.... I wish to express my highest appreciation of his character, and my firm conviction that he is the last man who ought to have been interned."

Neurath (1882-1945) left Holland in May 1940 with his third wife-to-be, Marie Reidemeister. In England they were interned as enemy aliens on the Isle of Man for a period of 9 months, being released in Feb. 1941. See http://www.holywellhousepublishing.co.uk/Neurath.html.
