TitleLetter from [Alan Archibald Campbell] Swinton, to Sir Arthur Holbrook
CreatorSwinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer
DateFebruary 1928
DescriptionReferring to what transpired at the meeting of the Council of the Royal Society of Arts, states that Lord Askwith does not find fault in anything he has done and that this is scarcely borne out by the enclosed copy of a letter from Sir Arthur Yapp, Director of the Y. M. C. A., which appeared in the Westminster Gazette in December 1927, from which Holbrook can observe that the view of his colleagues and himself, that the chairmanship of a greyhound racing company is not a respectable occupation, is also that of Sir Arthur Yapp. Details Lord Askwith's financial gains from this pursuit.
