Dr. Alvin S. Johnson, Director,
The University in Exile,
66 West Twelfth Street,
New York, New York.

My dear Dr. Johnson:

In a recent conversation at the University of Minne~
sota Dr. Richard Hartshorne told me that the German Govern-
ment had forbidden Dr. Alfred Hettner of Heidelberg to
publish his latest book because his grandmother had been a
Jewess. ‘The manuscript is apparently along lines which
interest us, and it is quite possible that we might wish to
give it publication, if we could see it. We are unfamiliar
with the difficulties that may be in the way, both for the
author personally and in the matter of getting the manuscript
ba pate Soununys and Dean Gauss has suggested that we ask you
abow .

Princeton has already shown her disapproval of the .
restrictions brought to bear on Education in Germany; and
in principle this Press would be only too glad to offer an
outlet for publication to worthy manuscripts of German pro-
fessors who have been exiled or otherwise oppressed by the
present regime in that country. ‘The difficulties seem to
be to make this fact known, to get the manuscripts here with~
out unfortunate repercussions to the authora, and, in the
event of publication, to remit the royalties with some hope
that they will be enjoyed by the proper persons.

Can you inform us whether these difficulties can be
surmounted, and whether arrangement to do so, if made, would
serve any useful purpose? I should be glad to discuss the
matter with you on my next trip to New York, if you think
it worthwhile.

Very truly yours,

J. S, Mosher
