TELEGRAM EX-3

CONFIDENTIAL. IMPORTANT.

Ottawa, le 2 janvier 1952

ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY

Reference: Your WA-4317 of December 28.

1. Cabinet has approved the Note to the State Department contained in our EX­2404 of December 20, with the amendments suggested by the White House as set forth in your WA-4297 of December 26.

2. I agree that it would be appropriate to change the Note from the third person to the first person.

3. We have no suggestions to make for the amendment of the United States draft reply as set forth in your WA-4317 of December 28. In order, however, to make it unnecessary for the United States, in its reply, to state that it cannot begin the dis­cussions with us "early in January", and in view of the fact that the Note itself is being presented early in January, you might amend the last sentence of our Note to refer to "a series of meetings beginning the middle of this month". This would require consequential revision in the second to last sentence of the United States reply.

4. When you have reached agreement with the State Department on the precise terms of the exchange of Notes, please exchange the Notes and let us have the text. I should also be grateful if you would let us know when you think the White House would wish to publish the exchange of Notes.104
