(Untitled), 05 Jul 1943
Scope and Contents
Letter from Harold Butler (British Embassy, Washington D C, United States) [Minister in charge of the British Information Services in Washington] to Brendan Bracken [Minister of Information] stating: that according to Wendell Wilkie [United States Republican Leader] the Administration is losing all its support and that the Republicans would win the next election; that Wilkie considers post war bilateral agreements to be insufficient and is opposed to any formal Anglo-American agreement which he believes would antagonise the Soviet Union, China and France; that the United States certainly considers its participation in post war affairs as vital; that there is a growing number of people who believe in an Anglo American Alliance as a deterrent to future problems with the Soviet Union; that President Roosevelt will have to take a strong lead if he is to stage a recovery; and that it would be unwise for them to "put all our eggs in the Democratic basket". Signed.
