TitleJohn L Myres, New College, Oxford, to Dale
Date15 August 1944
DescriptionDesiring his advice as to the restoration of international organisations for anthropological and ethnological sciences after the war. He is the only officer of the pre-war congress organisation with any freedom of action, and feels that the ideal course would be a congress in 1946 preceded by a meeting of the 'conseil permanent'. Understands though that the general basis of congresses may be under discussion after the war and does not wish to be in discord. Stresses though that the congress, and its sister congress for prehistoric sciences, were independent of the League of Nations Bureau of Intellectual Cooperation and the Union of Interllectual Congresses. With endorsement by A V Hill saying he had written to Myres with his experience of the Physiological Congresses
