JEAN-PIERRE HAMILIUS JR. November 30, 1956. 127, RUE J. P. MICHELS ESCH / ALZETTE LUXEMBOURG Professor Ludwig von Mises 777 West End Avenue N e W York 2 5 , N. Y. Dear Professor von Mises: I beg to acknowledge receipt, with kindest thanks, of the review article concerning your new book. It was with a great expectation that I read it: many notes and " underlinings " now cover the different pages. Shall I write for a copy of the book to the Foundation ? Did Dr. Harper inform you on my report regarding the demonstra- tions that took place in Luxembourg in favor of Hunggry? I think the Hungarian events and the somewhat strange behavior of the U. S. are likely to give a new impetus to the movement for a United Europe : " A quelque chose malheur est bon ! " If as a lawabiding citizen I was sorry for the turn the events took in Luxembourg ( " Storming of the Soviet legation " ), I was however glad to see how most of my students reacted - I had been influencing them constantly in favor of genuine li- beralism and they were eager to show in face of Soviet tyranny that they would even fight to defend their freedom, if neces- sary. I plan to write a review article on your new book here in order to draw the general attention to it. When reading the few pages in U. S. News and World Report, I found some ideas I had been working so hard to " discover " for my own work, but they have been formulated with a much greater ease than I would have been able to do. So I am looking forward with a great interest to the " bulk " of the book. In the meantime, I beg to remain, with best wishes, Yours sincerely, i.
