Letter from John Walton Newbold to WSC on the coming Preston [Lancashire] by-election; complex arguments about the rights of Catholics in Northern Ireland; a united Ireland as the best means of defence for Britain against overseas attack; why ministers and members of parliament opposed rearmament, allowing the nation to remain deficient in ground and air defences. Notes that copies sent to the press and Eamon de Valera [Irish Taoiseach (Head of Government) and Minister for External Affairs]. [Manuscript].
