PCO/Vol. 66

Memorandum by Secretary to the Cabinet to Cabinet
Ottawa
TERMINATION OF THE WAR WITH ITALY, ROUMANIA, HUNGARYAND FINLAND; PROCLAMATION

The legal advisers of the Departments of Justice and External Affairs have expressed the view that, in so far as Parliament, during the last session, approved Treaties of Peace with Italy, Roumania, Hungary and Finland, it would be appropriate that the coming into force of these TTeaties and consequent termination of the state of war should be announced by proclamation.

These Treaties were signed at Paris on February 10th, 1947, each to come into force on the date of deposit of the Instruments of Ratification of the parties concerned. In the case of Canada, the Italian Peace Treaty came into force on September 15th and Treaties for the other countries on September 19th, 1947. Submissions to Council have been prepared accordingly for the Secretary of State for External Affairs, one to proclaim the Treaty of Peace with Italy and the other for the Treaties with Roumania, Hungary and Finland. This division is in conformity with that made when war was proclaimed against the above countries.2
