| Title | Letter from [Alan Archibald Campbell] Swinton, to Sir Humphrey Leggett |
| Creator | Swinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer |
| Date | 4 January 1928 |
| Description | Explains that his view is that becoming Chairman of a greyhound racing company is as disgraceful as becoming chairman of a firm of bookmakers like the much advertised Douglas Stuart, Ltd, and that all these noble Lords, Admirals, and Generals, should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for giving their names in response to the large profits and fees promised them by disreputable company promotors, to encourage a form of racing which entirely exists on gambling, lining their pockets by encouraging vice. Comments that this is a view which swamps on one side any services that Lord Askwith may have given to their Society. Elaborates in detail on the methods they are adopting in addressing the matter. |
