943. Your 796, March 10, 9 p.m.96 The Canadian High Commissioner called yesterday afternoon on urgent instructions from Ottawa to suggest that all reference to Newfoundland be deleted from this agreement and a separate Newfoundland agreement be negotiated to recognize Canadian interest. I expect to convince him that any such procedure at this point was out of the question and he agreed to telegraph his Government to ask whether its views could not be met by the suggested tripartite exchange of notes.
