Item 2910

Carbon of letter to J.W. Newman, president, Dunn & Bradstreet, Inc., 99 Church Street, New York, N.Y., October 22, 1953, and reply from Roy A. Foulke, Vice President, October 27, 1953

 

 

 

Dear Mr. Newman:                            October 22, 1953

 

Through the current “Land & Liberty” of London, England, chief organ of the British Land Communists, it comes to our attention that your organization is publishing a pamphlet favorable to that species of communism, namely Land Communism, so ably advocated by Henry George in his famous dialectic of that move­ment. In this connection, and thinking it may inter­est you, we are sending you copy of an article recent­ly being published that throws valuable light upon land administration by the normal processes of owner­ship and exchange as contrasted with any practice of political administration that might be governmentally enforced or imposed.

 

 The pamphlet in question is referred to by its title: “A study of the Concept of National Income.” May we obtain a copy from you?

 

 Trusting that Dunn & Bradstreet is not unwit­tingly lending aid to any propaganda against private property in land, we remain,

 

Very truly yours,

 

“How Come that we Finance World Communism” enclosed.
