John Baker White

John Baker White (12 August, 1902 – 1988 ['Deaths', "The Guardian", 16 December 1988] ) was a British political writer and Conservative politician.

Baker White worked for the Economic League (UK), a privately funded anti-Communist pressure group and intelligence organization, serving as its Director from 1926 to 1939. During World War II he was a leading figure in Britain's propaganda campaign, including attempts to convince German soldiers of a failed German landing attempt along the south coast of England. [Baker White, 1955]

He was elected Member of Parliament for Canterbury in the 1945 General Election and served until 1953, when he left Parliament through the method of becoming Steward of the Manor of Northstead. The subsequent by-election was won by Leslie Thomas.
