Extract from a confidential report from Francis T. Cremins to Frederick H. Boland (Dublin)
(Confidential) (203/26)

Berne, 10 March 1948

[matter omitted]

I have to state that on visiting the Federal Political Department yesterday in connection with other matters, I took advantage of the occasion to discuss the international situation with the Head of the Political Division, as there is now a more general feeling of pessimism even than before, following the events in Czechoslovakia. Everybody one meets seems to believe in the inevitability of another world conflict, and the main questions that await an answer are where will it begin, and, especially, when.1
