Description:
Letter to the General Manager of Labour Monthly regarding Price being described as a Manchester Guardian correspondent. Scott states that it is misleading as Price was never a regular appointed correspondent.
Transcription:
Dear Sir, I see that in the advertisement of the March number of the “Labour Monthly” Mr. Philips Price is described as “’Manchester Guardian’ correspondent in Russia, 1914-18’. This is an extremely misleading description. Mr. Philips Price was in those years a traveller in Persia and the Middle East and in Russia and sent us letters and occasional telegrams, but he was never a regularly appointed correspondent, and after he joined the Bolsheviks he ceased to be connected with the paper. It is wrong therefore that the name of the paper should be associated with his later views and position and I shall be obliged if you will in future avoid any such reference. Yours very truly, (sgd.) CP Scott. The General Manager “Labour Monthly”
