| Description | Correspondence with British officials including Sir Arthur Salter, letters from John (Jock) Currie; Sir Owen Chalkley; and Harold Nicolson. Letters discuss American politics and entry into World War II, wartime rationing in Britain, and dairy farming conditions in Britain. Includes an essay by Jock Currie on 'The Wheat Crop as Related to Agricultural Conditions in Great Britain.' (Apr 1942). Leonard's lecture content is contained in a 'Record of a Conference Between Leonard K Elmhirst, English Economist, and a Group of Extension Economists and Others, Washington DC, 16 Apr 1941.' This talk is subsequently criticized by Minister of Agriculture R S Hudson as demeaning to British farmers. |
