250R. R. M.
Barrington-Ward to Harrod,
6 July 1932
[a]
With reference to
a proposal advanced by Harrod, The Times cannot guarantee that they
will accept an article on the subject which is currently under
discussion in the letters column. However, Barrington-Ward suggests
to write it anyway, possibly linking it with Salter's
article. [1]
- 1. A first
draft of Harrod's article was ready by 19 July. On that day,
Barrington-Ward thanked Harrod for it, and commented that at The
Times they hoped to give it as representing a considerable body of
opinion on the subject. He pointed out, however, that it would not
be possible to print it immediately (in HP IV-1265). On 27
September, Barrington-Ward wrote again, explaining that The Times
has not yet had an opportunity to print the article (in HP
IV-1266). The article was eventually published on 4 November ("The
Dilemma in the Economy",
1932:7 , here as press item
4 ). It opens with a reference to Salter's article on
"`Reflation'. What the Policy Implies. A Concerted Effort" (The
Times of 30 June 1932, pp. 15-16: see press item
4 , [jump to
page] ). The introductory lines by the editor of The Times
announced indeed the article as representing "a view shared by a
number of economists" (

Barrington-Ward suggested that a few amendments be introduced: see
letter 257 R.
- a. From
The Times, London # , one page TLS, with envelope
addressed to Campden Hill Square, in HP IV-1264.
