Saorstát has already expressed view in despatches to London. Solidarity most effectively manifested through separate spokesmen. Our special interests home and United States make it essential you should speak for Saorstát following lines regret agreement satisfactory to both sides not considered possible and hope another opportunity will soon arise for agreement leading through limitation to eventual disarmament.
