Item 2500

Letter from John Chamberlain, Cheshire, Connecticut, to the Editors of Land & Liberty, 4 Great Smith Street, London, S.W. 1, England

June 15, 1955

Gentlemen:

My attention is lately called to the leading article in your issue of December 1st, 1955 under the display heading: “VITUPERATION WELL ANSWERED,” signed by Mr. Mason Gaffney of Berkeley, California and in answer to Mr. Spencer Heath’s 26-page essay entitled “Progress and Poverty Reviewed and its Fallacies exposed.

 Noting your concluding remark under the heading of Mr. Gaffney’s article: “As we regard the whole discussion as illuminating we gladly afford the space in our columns which it deserves” and relying on your sincerity and good faith, Mr. Heath has asked me to submit the enclosed brief, temper­ate and, I think, well reasoned rejoinder.

Very sincerely yours,

(Signed) John Chamberlain.
