Fr. Charles Bowers writes on behalf of a committee organizing a conference to discuss "rational foreign policies towards Asia in the context of revolution, military and political conflict", etc. to be held in Sydney, Australia. Attendees were to be from diverse professions. Merton must decline because of his travels to the American west coast and to Asia. He also doubts whether his superiors would allow him to attend something of such a political nature.
Fr. Charles Bowers was at the Chaplain's Residence of Lidcombe Hospital in Lidcombe, Australia at the time of writing.
