CHAPTER I CONDUCT OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS
PART 2 DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR REPRESENTATION
SECTION K SPAIN
36.	DEA/28-BJ-37
Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs to Vice-Consul of Spain
	Ottawa,, March 21st, 1946

Dear Sir, In your letter of March 1st† to the Secretary of State you asked for advice on whether or not you ought, in view of the present strained relations between Spain and other countries, to resign your office as Vice-Consul of Spain. It is, I regret, impossible for me to give you a direct answer to your enquiry. While the attitude of the Canadian Government towards the present Spanish Government has been made clear, the Canadian Government has taken no steps which affect the status of Spanish Consular representation in Canada. Your decision on whether or not to resign must, therefore, be made on your own responsibility as a Canadian citizen. For your information, I enclose a copy of a Resolution† concerning the present Government of Spain, which was passed at the recent session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in London. Canada was one of the forty-five nations which voted in favour of this Resolution. Yours sincerely, N. A. ROBERTSON
