Typed copy of a report on Mr. Aiken’s speeches. One suspects that these two speeches were inspired by Communists. Mr. Aiken cannot be suspected of being a Communist, but is very anti-American. His chief advisors are Mr. Woods (who writes for The Irish Times), Mr. Conor Cruise O’Brien and Miss McEntee. Woods and Cruise O’Brien have strong left views. Miss McEntee is a close friend of Professor David Green of Trinity. Steps should be taken to stop Irish foreign policy becoming an instrument of Communist propaganda.
