My dear Lord Archbishop,
I enclose as promised

• Copy of the proposal I am bringing before the Government concerning the emigration of young girls.¹
• Minutes of conversation with Monsignore Paro.²
• Copy letter from the Ambassador to Monsignore Montini.³

It would be of tremendous assistance if Your Grace could obtain the views of the Youth Unemployment Commission concerning the proposed stoppage of the emigration of young girls. Should the Commission support the raising of the age to over 21 I would be delighted.

When Your Grace has had an opportunity of reading the other two documents, would Your Grace be good enough to return them for my files here.

In connection with the four Lithuanian students would Your Grace's Secretary send me their names and ages so that I may take the matter up with the Dept. of Justice.

I have not yet had an opportunity of discussing the question of the I.R.O.⁴ with my colleagues but will do so within the next day or so.
