Röpke threatened to quit MPS in loyal protest against Hunold’s ouster.

Evidence

Röpke, like Friedman, asserted that he would resign if the dispute was not resolved in a manner he found appropriate. If the removal of Hunold as secretary “would really be carried out,” he announced, “I would leave the Mont Pèlerin Society in protest against a grave injustice and in loyalty to a man who has a claim to it.” — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion, 341
