UNITED STATES OIL RESTRICTIONS520 | |
|
The United States Cabinet Committee on Oil now appears to be contemplating recommending a system of mandatory restrictions on imports to replace the present voluntary programme which is supposed to end February 28. It has seemed to our Embassy in Washington and to the officials of Finance, Trade and Commerce and of this Department that it would be desirable to make clear to the United States our concern about placing mandatory restrictions on our oil exports. There have been a few hints that the restrictions being planned might be relatively generous to Canada - although, of course, the existence of any restrictions is a serious brake on oil exploration and development in Canada. In these circumstances, a fairly formal note, setting our views for the record, seemed indicated. Attached is a draft telegram to Washington instructing them to deliver a note, as set out in the telegram.? Mr. Churchill has approved this note, and it has been cleared with the Depart-ment of Finance, who felt that Mr. Fleming need not see the actual text. If you approve, please initial the telegram.521 N.A.
