CHAPTER I CONDUCT OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS
PART 2 DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR REPRESENTATION
SECTION H ICELAND
22.	DEA/8508-40
Memorandum from Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs
CONFIDENTIAL	Ottawa, September 9, 1947

. . . 2. Mr. Measures reported that by a direct exchange of telegrams with Reykjavik, the Government of Canada had agreed to the appointment of Mr. Thor Thors as Icelandic Minister to Canada. Mr. Thors already serves as Icelandic Minister to the United States. The arrangement by which he is accredited in both Washington and Ottawa is not to be considered as a precedent with regard to foreign diplomatic representation in Canada. It has been accepted in this particular case only because Iceland is so small a state that it is obviously not in a position to make separate appointments in every country to which it desires to accredit representatives. The King's approval of Mr. Thors' appointment has been requested. . . .
