Dear Sir,
Your invitation of February 9 to
participate in the discussion on National
Policy for Bconoraic Welfare at Home and Abroad
is a great honor torae.Had I still been in
the United States,where I spent the first
semester of this acadeiBic year, I would,no
doubt,gladly have accepted your invitation.
The discussion will certainly'' be an event
of the first rank in academic life. My duties
in ray O'wn comitry make it, however, impossible
to attend:raymain function being that of
a ci?ril servant of the Netherlands jrovernment and my academic JFunetion beiri^j only a
part-time one. I hope you will excuse me, and
may I repeat my gratitude for your courtesy.
Yours very sincerely.
