CONFIDENTIAL

[Ottawa], June 27th, 1951

APPOINTMENT OF AMBASSADOR TO YUGOSLAVIA

Some time ago my Minister spoke to you of his intention to recommend appointment to Belgrade of our present Ambassador to Brazil, Scott Macdonald. At the time the appointment was made (in accordance with our practice of assimilating wherever possible the title and status of all our Heads of Mission) the Canadian Legation in Belgrade and the Yugoslav Legation in Ottawa would become Embassies.

All of the preliminary arrangements and formalities having now been completed it is desired to announce Macdonald's appointment. Macdonald is leaving Brazil in the first week of July and will proceed to Belgrade in September.

Would you be good enough to mention the appointment in Cabinet in the next day or two so that announcement may be made immediately thereafter.11 12
