| Content and context |
| This class, which originally corresponded to the contents of one archival box, contains papers relating to persons and subjects beginning with the letters from H to M, as follows: Lord Hailsham (1–8), the Earl of Halifax (9–15), W. Glenvil Hall (16–32), the Begum Hamid Ali and husband (Hamid Ali) (33–39), The Hindu (40–51), Sir Christopher Hinton (52), John Haynes Holmes (53–66), the Earl of Home (67–72), Ian M. Horobin (73–83), Sir Akbar Hydari (84–86), the Nizam's Government, Hyderabad-Deccan(?) (87–88), Lord and Lady Pethick-Lawrence's visit to Pakistan and India, 1957 (89–137), the Indian Students' Union and Hostel (138–151), Mohammad Zaffar Iqbal (152–156), Sir Mirza Ismail (157–164), Earl Jowitt (165–182), Sunder Kabadi (183–191), M. G. Kendall (191A), Lord Keynes (192–263), King Edward's School, Witley (264–265), Sir Gilbert Laithwaite (266–280), the Earl of Listowel (281–298), John Gilbert Lockhart (299), the London School of Economics (300–304), Malcolm MacDonald (305–310), Viscount Margesson (311–314), Herbert Morrison (315–322), Sir Oswald Mosley (323–325), the Earl of Munster (326), and Flora Murray (327). The contents of the original files appear, for the most part, to have been kept together, but it is likely that the names or subjects assigned to some items are not those of the original files. It is unclear what name 87–88 were filed under in the alphabetical arrangement; in the original box-list they are simply marked 'Ajanta Exhibition'. The photographs 128–137 were formerly in an envelope (127A). |

David Margesson has assured Marks that he will give a 'very stiff' answer to the questions next week, but Jowitt would like Pethick-Lawrence's advice on delivering a stronger response.

Carbon copy of a letter from F. W. Pethick-Lawrence to the editor of the Nation [H. D. Henderson], headed 'Pitfalls for Free Traders'. Since the Government is attempting to undermine the ‘citadel’ of free trade, now is an appropriate time to re-examine the grounds for trusting in it. Five points occur to him: (i) ‘Free Traders will be unwise if they say without qualification when a new duty is imposed that the price of the article will go up.’ (ii) Free trade must be carefully distinguished from laissez-faire and unlimited individual competition. (iii) ‘The attack on Imperial Preference should not be based on the erroneous statement that the preference given to our traders in Australia is worthless.’ (iv) ‘The doctrine of the balance of exports and imports is only true when invisible exports and imports are taken into account.’ (v) If free trade is to command support beyond a single political party, free traders must not be indifferent to labour conditions. Refers to the opposition he met with when making these points before an audience of free traders recently..
