The Minister in Canada (Phillips) to the Secretary of State

87. Legation’s 83, May 4, 11 a.m.58 In conversation with the Under Secretary this morning he said that there had been some question [Page 57] in the minds of the Prime Minister and himself as to how much the note of the United States to the British Government on the subject of the anti-war pact was meant to apply to the Dominions, including Canada.

He expressed himself as uncertain whether the United States would expect Canada to participate in the original treaty or whether Canada and other Dominions would be invited subsequently to conclude a separate agreement with the United States.
