TELEGRAM WA-38 TOP SECRET. MOST IMMEDIATE. |
Washington,
January 6th, 1948 |
|
Following for Mr. St. Laurent from Wrong, Begins: Heeney has sent the attached message to the Prime Minister13 about today's discussions here and the desirability that I should be authorized to make tomorrow the declaration of the Government's intention, provided that there is no change of substance from the drafts considered by the Advisory Panel in Ottawa. The need for haste arises because the Secretary of State is most anxious to be able to say in confidence to a few key senators, including Vandenberg, that satisfactory arrangements have been reached before the hearings on the European recovery programme begin on Thursday. Mr. Marshall also will be able to attend a meeting tomorrow, but will thereafter be occupied at the Capitol for some days. It would be rather awkward if the British and United States representatives were both to make their declarations, and if I should be able only to say I must refer the text to Ottawa before a declaration can be made on behalf of Canada. Ends. 13 Le document suivant/The immediately following document. | |
