Patricia has persuaded BR to cancel his lecture tour of Italy. BR is very sorry. "He is so energetic and so keen on doing what he can towards good international relations that it is hard for him to realize in advance that he is not so young as he used to be."

BR makes a programme selection for his lecture tour of Italy due to start Dec. 13. He seems to dismiss solicitations about fatigue.

Also in file is a BR ms. titled "The Atomic Bomb".

BR suggests writing on "some general aspects of the problem raised by the Greek trouble? I feel very strongly that Churchill has outlived his usefulness, and that, in defence of property, the British govt. is opposing all that is best on the Continent, and thereby arousing bitter hostility to us in America."

"'Democracy' (in Churchill's sense) enforced by bayonets is not a policy which workers at home can be asked to support, or for which our soldiers should be expected to die."

This and the next two letters to Eisler are not to be listed in "Recent Acquisitions" this century (J.G. Slater). The embargo has expired (6.7.04, K. Blackwell).

BR mentions difficulties concerning Eisler's review of History.

"Your proposal about the Jewish question is ingenious, but I see various objections which prevent my actively supporting it."

BR cannot "get at the Hibbert journal till Sp. 24, when I return to Cambridge."

BR is glad to have Eisler's review of History. He will read Olschki's book.

"With regard to the Jewish problem, I was too busy at the moment to go into the question. But at the present time, when Germans in the British zone are starving, it does not seem a good plan to try to find room for more population. Moreover Zionists would not be satisfied. I must confess that I do not know what to suggest; I think a great deal about the problem, but fruitlessly." Cambridge has more teachers than pupils of philosophy, so there are no job openings.

BR will look into what Eisler says about Mommsen.
