No. 324 NAI DFA Secretary's Files A55/4
Letter from Frederick H. Boland to Seán Nunan (Washington DC)1
(Confidential)
Dublin, 28 April 1947
With reference to your airmail minute of the 9th April,2 we should be glad to have a complete set of the reports issued by the House Committee on Un-American Activities from 1941.
Will you please send us also the full text of President Roosevelt's statement ordering the dismissal of Government employees of questionable loyalty and a few copies of the US Chamber of Commerce Report 'Communists within the Government'?
We should like to be kept fully documented on this question of Communist infiltration of the public service, labour unions etc. It has been suggested that the present Comintern policy is to organise strikes and industrial unrest in 'capitalist' countries with the object of creating shortages of essential supplies and causing discontent and resentment amongst the public. Is there any evidence that this is the policy of the Communist Party in the USA?
