No. 280 NAI DFA Secretary's Files P48A

Dearg code telegram from the Department of External Affairs to Robert Brennan (Washington DC)
(No. 20)

Dublin, 25 January 1947

If you have not already paid official call on new Secretary of State,1 please use occasion to mention G[ray]. You might say we regret relations with USA are not more warm and cordial. We attribute this entirely to influence of G.[ray] and see no prospect of improvement so long as he remains. He has done more than any American in history to create misunderstanding and bad feeling between the two countries and we feel that we owe it to our traditional friendship with United States to say so frankly.

1 General George C. Marshall (1880-1959), United States Chief of Staff (1939-45), Secretary of State (1947-9), formulated the concept underpinning the Marshall Plan.
