John Hilton (1880–1943) was the first Montague Burton Professor of Industrial Relations at Cambridge University, broadcaster and journalist.
[1] After four years of lecturing and technical journalism, he became in 1912 the acting secretary of the Garton Foundation, newly established to propagate Norman Angell's ideas on international relations.
[1] On the outbreak of the World War II he became in September 1939 Director of Home Publicity at the Ministry of Information, but stood down in the following June and resumed broadcasting, with John Hilton talking, speaking largely to those affected directly and personally by the war, those in the Forces, those left behind and those subject to industrial conscription.
So he became Director of the News of the World Industrial Advice Bureau which, after his death in August 1943, was renamed after him.
Based in Cambridge the Bureau called on a panel drawn from dozens of professions with expertise to deal with readers' queries.
