Code telegram from Michael MacWhite to Joseph P. Walshe (Dublin)

Rome, 29 January 1941

Political importance of the Irish in America also seems to be appreciated, and their opposition to Administration policy has not escaped attention. Italian newspapers are very friendly and exploit every criticism of our attitude to Britain's disadvantage.
