1. Mr. Heeney. Members of this Department will have learned will concern of the tragic death in the rioting in Cairo on January 26th of Mr. J.M. Boyer, M.C., the Canadian Trade Commissioner. The British Ambassador to Egypt has made a protest on our behalf to the Egyptian Government informing them that the Egyptian Government will be held fully responsible for all loss of life and property and that the rights of the Government of Canada in the matter are fully reserved. We have informed the Government of the United Kingdom of our approval today of this course. The Egyptian Consul General called today to express his government's and his own condolences and sympathy on Mr. Boyer's death; I reiterated our position to him. . . .
