Title	Letter from H E [Henry Edward] Armstrong, 55 Granville Park, Lewisham, London, to [Joseph] Larmor
Creator	Armstrong; Henry Edward (1848-1937); British chemist and educationalist
Date	1 July 1917
Description	Larmor reproached Armstong and Dewar on Thursday for not speaking out about the extravagance of the Munitions Departments etc. They replied that this was not allowed and attempts had been made in vain. After reading 'Addison's exaggerations' he wrote an enclosure [not present] and left it at The Times. They have not printed it and he asks that Larmor uses it as he wishes. It is generally thought that the Germans are ahead in potash. The glass trade does not need as much but that reference to agriculture cannot be justified. He knew months ago of a find that would satisfy the glass people. The new Board of Trade move on dyestuffs is farcical and he is told it is to cover their failure. He wonders if Larmor could take up this question seriously. To put dyes under an engineering contractor is 'to make us the laughing stock of the world'.
