EINSTEIN DEPLORES THE SOVIET BLOC'S CONTROL OF INTERNATIONAL CONGRESSES
Einstein declines an invitation to an international congress because "it is more or less a Soviet enterprise" and explains his reasons to a fellow scientist: "I have to confess openly that after my experiences with the first congress of this kind at Wroclaw last August and from what I have observed concerning the most recent congress in New York, I have the strong impression that this kind of procedure is not really serving the cause of international understanding. The reason is simply that it is more or less a Soviet enterprise and that everything is managed accordingly. This in itself would not be so bad if the Russians and the men coming from the countries affiliated with Russia would be really free to express their personal opinion and would not have to present the official Russian point of view as it is at the moment. Therefore the impression of most people is characterized by the word "Soviet Propaganda." The speakers from the Western countries are chosen from the point of view not to disturb the pattern of the whole. So the result is a rather sharpening of the silly controversies and polemics which characterize the international situation of today."
