DESPATCH 522 UNCLASSIFIED |
Tokyo,
May 7th, 1952 |

TRADING, MARITIME AND OTHER COMMERCIAL RELATIONS BETWEEN CANADA AND JAPAN | |
|
Attached is a copy of Note Verbale No. 10/T1, dated April 24, 1952,? from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, inquiring concerning the position Canada proposes to take in regard to trading, maritime and other commercial relations with Japan under Article XII and Article VII of the Japanese Peace Treaty. 2. A copy of the interim acknowledgement returned by the Embassy is attached.? 3. It would be appreciated if instructions could be sent concerning the reply to be returned to this inquiry from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Your attention is directed particularly to the fact that, if it is not the intention of the Canadian Government to revive the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Japan and Great Britain, which covered commercial relations between Japan and Canada before the war, and if it is not the intention of the Canadian Government to extend most-favoured-nation treatment to Japanese imports into Canada, the Japanese Government is entitled under Article XII of the Peace Treaty not to continue to accord most favoured-nation treatment to Canadian imports into Japan.
