Abstract
THE Soviet Embassy in Washington has recently received for transmission to Soviet mathematicians a statement of solidarity signed by a number of their most distinguished American colleagues. The document carries signatures of ninety–three mathematicians of forty–seven American universities and colleges. Prof. Marston Morse, president of the American Mathematical Society, is a signatory, as also are eight past presidents of the Society. Fourteen are members of the National Academy of Sciences. Among the signatories are several well–known German mathematicians who now reside in the United States and who know from personal experience the destruction Hitler has wrought in German culture. These include Profs. E. Artin, R. Courant, W. Mayer, H. A. Bademacher and O. Szasz.
