mattachine REVIEW

BY JOHN LOGAN

visitor from Europe:

RUDOLF BURKHARDT

Rudolf Burkhardt, English language editor of Der Kreis (The Circle), from Zurich, Switzerland, came to the U. S. this summer, and during his coast-to-coast tour visited offices of the Mattachine Society and the Review at San Francisco. He was speaker at a special public meeting in San Francisco on May 13. A few days earlier in Los Angeles, he spoke to sessions of One Institute.

Der Kreis, now in its 26th year of publication, has faced most of the problems which now confront Mattachine in the U. S., Rudolf said. In this country as in England and Germany there is still the problem of the law in connection with homosexuality something that most European countries have already settled. But in both areas, he said, most of the difficulties arise from the fear, apathy, immaturity, selfishness and the sometimes outright rebellion of homosexuals themselves as they try to find their own life-meaning and values in cultures that are often hostile and uncomprehending. Time and the changing attitudes which are being manifest more definitely every day will eventually remove many of the barriers and hurdles, he predicted, although it will take many decades. before the social stigma disappears even after the laws are changed. One difficulty faced by homophilic organizations in Europe has a corresponding parallel in the U. S., Rudolf learned. On each side of the Atlantic the demand for services from the organizations is invariably greater than the financial support necessary to provide them. But this universal problem must not be allowed to slow our efforts, he admonished.

Rudolf called for more widespread exchange of information and closer contact between European and American groups, particularly urging that more individuals from both continents travel abroad to meet their counterparts first hand. "Nothing seems to convince us more of the importance of our work as to observe the public and social services we are performing in our respective countries and meet the people on the job," he said. "I hope more Europeans can visit America, and we extend the same warm invitation for you to visit us."

Mr. Burkhardt's visit was all too short, but it was a pleasant highlight of the summer which hundreds of people privileged to meet him will long. remember. Upon his return to Switzerland he wrote the following letter of thanks and appreciation which the Review is pleased to pass on to its readers:
