Dear Dr. Laureys, I have your letter of February 15th† concerning the establishment of an Italian Mission in Ottawa. This office, which has been opened within the past few weeks, is not, properly speaking, a diplomatic mission. Count Carlo Fecia di Cossato, who is head of the office, has the personal rank of Consul-General, but his title in Canada is Representative of Italy and he will not be included on the diplomatic list amongst the other Consuls-General. The acceptance of this mission in Ottawa arose out of the desire of the Italian Government to be represented here, and we have no immediate intention of establishing a Canadian office of similar character in Italy. It is probable that, after the conclusion of the Peace Treaty, the status of the Italian representation in Canada will be regularized, but even then the appointment of a Canadian representative in Italy will be delayed, because of the prior commitments which Canada has for the establishment of offices in other European countries. Yours sincerely, | |
