APPOINTMENT OF CANADIAN CHARGE D'AFFAIRES AT STOCKHOLM

Pending the nomination of a Minister to Sweden it might be desirable to adopt the same course there that we have at Warsaw and Prague and appoint a Chargé d'Affaires intérim. This is particularly desirable in the case of Stockholm as we already have there a Trade Commissioner, Mr. F.H. Palmer who is well qualified to act as Chargé d'Affaires pending the appointment of a Minister. This would facilitate his Trade and Commerce work and also enable him to handle the Canadian consular work in Sweden which is already considerable.

If you agree with this course it would be necessary:

To obtain the approval of the King for the establishment of a Canadian Legation in Stockholm;

To call the Swedish Minister to the Department and explain to him that the Canadian Government is desirous of establishing a diplomatic mission in Stockholm and that pending the appointment of a Minister, they would like to appoint Mr. Palmer as Chargé d'Affaires intérim;

To request the Swedish Minister to enquire informally from his Government as to whether this proposed action is agreeable to it.

It is not considered necessary to request the King formally to approve the appointment of Mr. Palmer as Chargé d'Affaires.

I would be glad to have your view as to whether we can go ahead on the present basis.22

L.B. P[EARSON]
