WASHINGTON
March 30, 1940.
My dear Mr. President:
 
         
 
 
I enclose a copy of a telegram received from Mr. Myron Taylor in Rome  
in regard to the publication of the Pope's letter whlch I handed to you this  
morning. It seems apparent that the Vatican desires to give publicity to this  
communication which could here be done by here by having copies handed to the  
press by Mr. Early.
 
     
 
 
If you approve, a delay of thlrty-six hours would seem desirable in order  
that the Vaitcan might be informed in sufficient time to make arrangements for  
simultaneous publication.
 
                                        
 
 
Faithfully yours,
 
 
 
Enclosure:
   From Rome,
   March 29, 1940.
 
 
 
The President,
   The White House.
