TitleCopy Dale to Professor A V Hill, Royal Society
Date23 June 1945
DescriptionMaud and Flett have been to see him on Woolton's behalf with a plan to avoid further troubles by having the opportunity to block foreign visits in advance. Thinks the Royal Society should mention any foreign visits to Woolton's department 'so that they may not be taken unawares..by intervention of the Gestapo'. A test case is that of Dirac, invited to lecture in Paris. Maud thought it would raise questions if Dirac were prevented from going to Russia but allowed to go to Paris: 'I told them frankly that the RS could take no part in the responsibility for difficulties which the Government created for itself by official lying'
