CHAMBERLAIN NEVILLE: (1869-1940) British Prime Minister 1937-40. T.L.S., with his initials N. C., one page, 4to, Eaton Square, London, 8th May 1931, to Lord Beaverbrook ('My dear Max'), marked Personal. Chamberlain states that he has observed from his correspondent's last letter that 'you haven't quite got the position right as regards South Paddington' but doesn't want to engage in correspondence and would prefer to clear matters up with Beaverbrook when he is back in town. He continues 'I should like to hear what you think of Scarborough. Personally, I am delighted. The first-fruits of the Lib-Lab alliance was Ashton; the second, Scarborough. I cannot see how either Wing of the alliance can derive any satisfaction from such results.' In a postscript Chamberlain writes 'I have just been informed that Taylor is issuing an appeal for funds in South Paddington, accompanied by a claim to be considered the official candidate. I hope this is not true. If it is, it will lead to untold trouble. Unprovoked aggression of this kind would make all co-operation quite impossible.' Two file holes to the left edge, not affecting the text or signature, VG
