Effected by exchange of notes signed August 28 and September 4, 1941; effective September 11, 1941. And exchange of notes dated May 17 and 29, 1940. The American Minister to the CanadianActing Secretary of State for External Affairs LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 474 Ottawa, Canada, August 28, 1941. SIR: With a view to securing greater uniformity of practice in the matter of the wearing of uniform by unarmed members of the United States Army and Navy when visiting Canada, and by unarmed members of the Canadian forces when visiting the United States, and to adopting on a reciprocal basis a more liberal regime than has prevailed hitherto, my Government suggests that the following procedure may be agreed upon: Unarmed members of the military, naval and air forces of each country may travel in uniform to the other country and wear uniform while within the other country provided: (1) that the privileges thus granted to military personnel shall not be construed as waiving or modifying in any way Immigration regulations of the other country, or permit the actual movement of troops by one country through the territory of the other, and (2) that military personnel of one country proceeding to the territory of the other shall have in their possession valid military papers, i. e., "leave of absence" papers, soldier's "pass", or a Navy "identification card" or Naval "leave ticket" if travelling for personal reasons; or "official orders" if travelling on duty. This note and your reply, accepting my Government's proposals, will together constitute an arrangement that becomes effective the 7th day from the date of your reply. It is understood that the arrangement is terminable by either Government on notice, and that it will supersede the arrangement effected between the two Govern- ments by the exchange of notes dated March 7, April 5 and June 22, 1939, ['] as amended by the further exchange of notes dated May 17 and May 29, 1940.[ 2] Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
