Abert Einstein today expressed through the Associated Press his pleasure over the mass meeting held in his honor tonight in New York, by the following message to the audience:
You meet to celebrate a myth bearing my name. This proves, however, that in our times, amid all the ill-omened striving after power and luxury, there still lives an appreciation for the eternal aims of the human spirit.
That makes me happy.
ALBERT EINSTEIN.
