States that 'the author deserves encourgement' and the approach taken is 'interesting even ingenious', but that further study is required before the paper is publishable. Questions author's belief that [A J] Nicholssom and [V A] Bailey's theory 'is a great advance on previous theories', pointing to [Alfred J] Lotka and [V] Volterra having worked on the same fundamental assumption as them since the 1920s. Also mentions the work of [William Robin] Thompson and V A Kostitzin.
