The Minister in Canada (Phillips) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4 p.m.]
89. Department’s 52, May 9, 5 p.m. I informally brought to the attention of the Foreign Office the sense of the last paragraph of the above.
The Under Secretary stated that he knew that the Prime Minister would be much gratified by this cordial expression.
He further informed me that from Canada’s point of view her initial inclusion in the treaty proposed to London would be desirable and that, provided such a course could be agreed upon by the governments at London and Ottawa, an inquiry might be necessary either through the British Ambassador or the Canadian Minister at Washington or both as to whether such a course would be acceptable to the United States.
