  1 July 1958

  Mr. Paul F. Hirschfelder

  Domplatz 4

  Passau, MD-Bayern

  Germany

  Dear Mr. Hirschfelder:

  I have been very pleased to receive your letter and the accompanying material.

  I like very much the description that you give of a new economic and social system based on the age-old principle of the golden rule of reciprocity. If it were only possible to get everyone in every nation to respect this rule, the many problems that we have now in the world would be capable of rapid solution.

  Your long letter to Mr. Cyrus Eaton has impressed me greatly. It contains many good ideas and many really significant facts. I am grateful to you for having sent me a copy of this letter.

  As to the reply that you received to your letter to Mr. Eaton, I must say that I judge that Mr. Eaton is very busy, especially with his extensive businesses, and it may well be that he receives a great amount of mail. He probably has come to rely greatly upon his secretary. Moreover, I have the feeling that he does not attempt to study thoroughly the many detailed problems that the world faces now. I think that he is making a great contribution, but in a different way from you.

  Let me thank you again for your letter and for the material that you sent with it.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w
