On p 401, ref 3 is discussed and it is stated: "In this connection, it may be mentioned that, when the analogous calculation is carried through by the valence bond method, all carbon-carbon distances are found to be equal to each other and very nearly equal to that in benzene. It should not be necessary to give the details of the calculation here, since the procedure is obvious and completely straightforward."
