Sir William Wiseman: Propaganda in the USA

2 Oct 1939

A folder of correspondence concerning British propaganda in the United States of America. The principal topic of discussion is a report by Sir William Wiseman summarising German propaganda efforts and American public opinion, and recommending that direct British propaganda should not be embarked upon in neutral America; and a discussion on whether Wiseman would be a suitable appointment as an envoy between Britain and the USA to help put across the British case. There are also several telegrams in code from a German contact in Lausanne making references to "Tommy's health" and an "American doctor".
