I can see no other way but dealing with the few ... as we have to do in
S'hill.
The Bulletin isn't enough. I want to see an Orgone Child Study
Magazine. If the visa question didn't stand in the way I'd think of
coming over to edit such a magazine. Standing out in my ignorance
from the scientific side of the work, I am handicapped. I can only write
and talk about actual children. The job for myoid age is obviously to
be employed by some advanced Government to go round all the schools
telling teachers what not to do; the positive side would then come of
itself.
Ena sends her love to you all, and both of us often say : "If only
Zoe had Peter to play with."

My dear Reich,
•••May 30, 1951We have been waiting to hear good news of Ilse. It was after
I wrote you that I reread your letter and saw that you told us of a major
operation ... Do tell us about it.
No word from U.S.A. re my M.P.'s application. We have booked our
trip to Norway, realising what a poor Ersatz [substitute] it is compared
with a trip to Maine.
Lectured to Birkbeck College, London, last week. Very enthusiastic
audience which accepted the Reich-Neill plea for the rights of youth to
love. I ilbernachtet [spent the night] with Flugel, friendly as usual, but
when I talked about Zoe and the fears other kids give her I could see
that the language was Greek to them. Mrs. F. said: "But it is necessary,
for she has to face all sorts of things in life." The good old Freudian
Reality Principle.
The summer stream of visitors has commenced. I get lots of New
Zealanders and Australians and Indians. Nearly all the Indians are
moral and fear the sex issue.
I still feel bitter and wretched about being cut off from you. If the
war situation were less threatening, I'd hopefully say: "Maybe in 1952
I can go over." But the plethora of world hate makes planning im
possible. I can't see an end, can you?
I often think of your motor in Orgonon with Bill Washington in
