Item 1557

Carbon of a letter from Heath to John Chamberlain

August 20, 1955

 

 

 

Dear John:

 

It was good seeing you today after so long a time. I hope Peggy will be delighted with her presents as I am at the opportunity of sending her something.

 

In reference to the McGlynn “Doctrinal Statement” and my comments thereon, I enclose three copies for you under the title, “The Trojan Horse of ‘Land Reform’”. Hope you will find them interesting and some possible value. I also enclose a recent leaflet, “Shorter Criti­cism of the Economic Argument of Henry George,” copies of which were sent to the 135 principal officers of the “International Union for Land Value Taxation &  Free Trade” at their recent pow-wow in Scotland. I also sent to them the McGlynn article and “Private Property in Land Explained.”

 

So far as the negative side is concerned, I think my criticisms of land communism are now at an end unless some active controversial issue should arise.

Remember me to those nice young ladies of yours.

 

Sincerely,

 

SH/m
