Mémorandum du cabinet du Premier ministre au Premier ministre | |
|
Ottawa,
le 15 octobre 1946 | |

Mr. Garner, the Deputy High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, telephoned this afternoon with regard to some discussions which Sir Walter Layton has been having on behalf of the United Kingdom government with the officials of the Pulp and Paper Association concerning the shipment of newsprint and paper to the British Zone in Germany. I understand that these discussions resulted from a letter written to you by Mr. Bevin making a special request for additional shipments. Mr. Garner stated that, the talks had been helpful and sympathetic on the whole, and the officials of the Pulp and Paper Association would be meeting representatives of all the paper companies some time toward the end of this week with regard to the tonnage to be shipped and other points of detail. While Sir Walter Layton feels quite well satisfied with the discussions with the producers, he has been asked by his government to discuss, at the Ministerial level, some of the political aspects involved in the question. He is coming to Ottawa tomorrow and will be meeting Mr. Howe in the morning. If it could be arranged, he would very much like to have not more than 10 minutes of your time to speak to you, if it would suit your convenience. I understand that Sir Walter will be here all day tomorrow. I told Mr. Garner that I did not know whether you would feel that you should become directly involved in this matter, especially since Mr. Howe had it in hand, but he asked to have the request placed before you for your decision in any event.
