adolescents, but I would not advise, and I told him so, to do anything
with grown-ups beyond 25 years and with biopathies.
During the past years, we developed here a very strict attitude against
pestilential reactions of people. We have no time and no desire to get
involved in complicated attempts at convincing, or bringing to our side
people whose negative behavior is clearly rooted in their biopathy, that
is, in their fear of life. We are only a few, and the prevention of
biopathies in children seems much more important to us.
There is also the other danger, that the London group· may try to
work like a political party. I told Barakan explicitly that we are not a
political party, and that we do not want too many followers. On the
contrary, a nucleus of a few selected workers seems the best guarantee
against a too early dilution of the core of our work.
I am expecting Raknes here today or tomorrow, and I hope to get a
clear enough picture about the situation in Scandinavia to be able to
mend the damage which was caused by the interruption of our contact
for 7 years.
I sincerely hope that everything is all right with you over there, and
that a meeting in the not too distant future will be possible. I think it
would be of great importance.
One more thing: Barakan received a loan of $330 from the Orgone
Research Fund which he promised to pay back to you in the course of
2 years, beginning this autumn, on account of the $6 00 which the Fund
still owes you.
Please don't fail to inform us of the arrival of the baby!

Republic. The same applies now: When today there is the choice between
capitalistic and red imperialism I choose the THIRD thing, the govem-
