March 28, 1952 Professor J. P. Hamilius 23, rue du Stadion Diffordango, Luxembourg Dear Professor Hamilius: You are correct in pointing out that Ropice (and, to Mimo extent, even Hayek) doos not advocate genuine liberal- ism but rather a system of "mild" interventionism. The number of genuine liberals is very small today. Most of those considered as champions of economic freedom are merely condemning interventionism operated by other parties or in- dividuals and recommend as a remedy their own brand of in- terventionism. As you own already most of the books you will receive on the part of the Volker Fund, please hand over the duplicates in the name of the Volker Fund to that 11- brary of your country where, in your opinion, they would contribute most to the spread of sound thinking. Also in the U: S. there are groups asking for Mitbestimungsrecht of the employees. I do not remember having ever heard of a condemnation of this claim on the part of the unions. If you want to get reliable information about this issue, write to the CIO and to the AFL. They will certainly send you their publications about this problem. Are you familiar with the amazing way in which William Temple, the Archbishop of Canterbury, justified the participation by labor in the conduct of business in his Penguin Special: Chris ianity and Social Order (pages 72 f and 80). with best wishes Sincerely yours
