On the domestic difficulty that they are having there, over the religious question, which is a religious question touching all denominations alike as I understand it, though it is referred to more particularly as a Catholic question…

Not much change is being made in the personnel of the Government.

There isn't much that can be done in the matter of reducing the personnel, but I have to stress that question some all the time, otherwise there is a tendency to load up the service with un-necessary personnel.

I don't know that there is anything I can say that hasn't already been said about the World Court.

I have never had any criticism.

If you see any reports of that kind, why I think you can set them down as the natural result of a man representing this Government who has had to insist that the rights of our citizens be respected.

The only reports I have ever had in relation to Ambassador Sheffield are those that praised his conduct.
