Washington: Sumner Welles Visit to UK

14 Feb 1940

A short file of documents from early 1940 discussing the impending visit of American diplomat Sumner Welles to Britain. The documents discuss the fear that the pro-Nazi faction in Britain (led by Oswald Mosley) would try to use it as an opportunity to enter into discussions with him and present the impression that public opinion was split over continuing the war.
