TitleLetter from A. S. S. Langley, Admiralty Research Lab, Teddington, Middlesex, to [Alan Archibald Campbell Swinton]
CreatorLangley; A. S. S (fl 1927)
Date25 March 1927
DescriptionIdentifies a point of interest in Swinton's recent address at the Royal Society of Arts, in relation to his remark that the doctrine of Malthus is now discredited. Mentions there are some very keen Malthusians in the Admiralty Research Lab, where he himself was introduced to it. Believes that the theory was a very fine generalisation of the present facts but invites Swinton to send him credible objections to the theory.
