Talk:Hugh Dalton

message: He should be at Hugh Dalton - he is much better known without his peerage title, which was given to him long after his retirement from public life. john k 04:48, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Someone should put in that Hugh Dalton's godfather was Prince Albert Victor (Eddy), The Duke of Clarence and Avondale, who his father was a tutor to. Hugh Dalton was given the first name Edward after Prince Eddy as well.

thread_title:  '''ROYAL GODFATHER''' 

message: Dalton seems to have a detractor in web space regarding purported "irregularities" vis a vis Dalton's supposed sexual preferences. All of this is based on nothing more than the fact that one partiular Conservative biographer has taken issue with Dalton's Liberal preferences. If anyone can provide factual evidence of Dalton's homosexuality, please stand. Otherwise, please desist from your unwarranted and unfoudned character assassinations.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.60.224.85 (talk • contribs) 03:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, here's the thing. The "cold hard facts", as reported in published works, are that Dalton's marriage soon became at best a partnership of convenience (inevitably soured by the death of their infant daughter), and that many people who knew Dalton at Cambridge and in later life suspected that his inclinations were homosexual. His flirtation with Tony Crosland was anything but private. Hearsay is when somebody reports at second hand what somebody else has told them happened - not stuff that they themselves have seen.Paulturtle (talk) 05:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Dalton made a leading contribution to the economics theory and applications in equality measurement, as shown in the enduring references to the Pigou-Dalton principle. See, Dalton, H. (1920), The measurement of the inequality of incomes. Economic Journal, 30, 348-361. Cf, Sen, Amartya (1973). "On Economic Inequality" (2nd ed.). New York: Oxford University Press.

thread_title:  '''ECONOMETRICS''' 

message: The above IP editor appears to be Francis Rogers, the author of the book reference which he has inserted into the page. I have moved his new "Contributions in Economics" section from the top of the page, and partly cleaned it up. For the time being I have left his book reference in, despite the possible WP:COI, as it may well be relevant.
But really the whole article needs a major clean up effort.--NSH001 (talk) 14:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

message: In Frank Muirs biography he mentions a Captain Dalton (father of 007 actor Timothy Dalton) working under Major Edwards in the SOE section at the Parachute Training School at Ringway airport Manchester during WW2. Reference here - . Any connection, I wonder ? -- John (Daytona2 ·  Talk ·  Contribs) 10:55, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
