Extract from a letter from Hugh McCann to Frederick H. Boland (Dublin)
Washington DC, 30 November 1949
[matter omitted]

In the case of the compulsory stop at Shannon, it is difficult to refute the argument that as Shannon can be by-passed in any case we should face up to this reality and make the best of the situation.
