Mrs. Albert Lasker
29 Beekman Place,
New York City,

Dearest Mary,

It is a long time since we met at the Cosmopolitan
Bocktail party and at your lovely tea thQt you
gave for the Federation in December.

Things arellhoppingllin the International world.
It is like a dream come true,as far as excitement
and iniative goes. Now the reality of bringing
Birth Control into all the over-populated nations
of the world is the question. There were two
mass meetings in Japan in December *here three
thousand people assembeled to invite me to come
over there. There are great possibilities of
doing good work in Japan. I haven't bem given
my visa to go to Japan, but General Ridgeway
answered my cable to the effect that the Peace
treaty would throw back to the Japanese proper
authorities, the decision as to visas, so that
is all right, and I expect as soon as these
conditions are settled that I will have no difficulty.

What I want to ask you,  I think we did talk about
it briefly:&ne day, is the continuation of giving
the films to foreign medical societies. The
results have certainly been most satisfactory
throughout India, where medical students are
shown the films very often,  and it means that a
whole new generation of Indian Doctors uill know

the tech i-ue of contraception.
YOU may %I~W is pretty hard UP. I not Sure

The Bureau, as

that Dr. Stone can carry the load much longer
without going out to the public  to ask for funds
to maintain it. The Bureau is actually the
main teaching centpr for Doctors in New York.
Young medical students came from Yale, Harvard,
Long Island Culege, Eellevue, Cornell Medical
School to take courses of instruction from Dr.
Stone. The films are shown practically every
day to different groups that come to the Bureau.
Of course all this is free of charge, and the
amount of time and literature tha.t is given
amounts to considerable during the year.
Dr. Amano, who has set up a Clinic and teaching

center in Japan, is on his way to the U.S.
and wants very much to take a set of films as
a gift from me to the Japanese Goverment Health
authorities.

Enclosed is a letter from Mrs, Flowers at the
Bureau for this set of films to Japan. I think
it would be more appropriate under these conditions
if the Lasker Foundation presented this set of
films to the Japanese Government instead of
Margaret Sanger. '&at do you say? Would you be
willing to do this. In fact I think that it would
be right hereafter when the Bureau asks you for
any reimbirsement for these films to have them
come from the Lasker Foundation.

My love to you as always and affectionate regards
to Albert,
