MOORE
(Henry Spencer, 1898-1986, Sculptor)
Fine Typed Letter Signed to Paul HOGARTH
(1917-1001, Artist and Illustrator) saying that he doesn’t “see any point in publishing my letter on the AIA’s statement on Czechoslovakia. If you will look at it, you will find that the main point to which I took exception was excluded from the version published in the Newsletter, so that my criticism of it is meaningless to anyone who has read only the published statement and not the one privately circulated. My assertion that there is a slight inconsistency between paragraphs 1 and 2 is still valid. But this is hardly worth publishing without the later part of my letter.... Since you said, in the last number, that I had written a comment to the Central Committee, you may now, if you wish, say that this comment referred to a provisional statement circulated to the Advisary Council and not to the statement which appeared in print...”, 1 side 8vo., Hoglands, Perry Green, Herts, 24th June

MOORE
(Henry Spencer, 1898-1986, Sculptor)
Fine Typed Letter Signed with autograph amendments to the Central Committee of the A.I.A.
thanking them for letting him “see a copy of the Central Committee’s statement on the situation in Czechoslovakia. I’ve read the statement carefully, but am not quite sure that I’ve followed your reasoning. In para. 2, you say; ‘Only the most careful investigation could determine which (facts) were true and which false; and this we are not in a position to do’, a statement with which I heartily agree. But in para. 1 you say that ‘this (the way in which the present Government assumed power) does not seem to us an undemocratic method.’ I’m not so sure, though, that the absence of facts about the extent of political victimisation doesn’t also apply to the manner in which the present Government came to power. I don’t think, therefore that the method was democratic or that is was undemocratic. Hence I cannot take it for granted that your statement is completely consistent. As to the third paragraph, I can’t agree that ‘it is necessary to distinguish between sporadic injustices and widespread suppression of public opinion.’ Where are you going to draw the line between the two? It seems to me that any injustice calls for protest. In view of my doubts concerning these matters, the only part of your statement with which I can fully associate myself is the second paragraph...”, 2 sides 8vo., Hoglands, Perry Green, Herts, headed paper, 7th May
