In transmitting the attitude of the Canadian Government Mr. Christie desires to state that it would be appreciated if in due course the Legation might be informed whether the United States Govern- ment has any objection to the continuance of the pre-war regime governing such visits to Canada. CANADIAN LEGATION WASHINGTON, D. C. M.M.M. The Secretary of State to the Canadian Charge d'Affaires ad interim The Secretary of State presents his compliments to the Charge d'Affaires ad interim of Canada and refers to the Minister's note no. 137 of May 17, 1940 regarding the arrangement between the United States of America and Canada for visits in uniform by members of defense forces which was effected by an exchange of notes dated March 53 stat. 2439 7, April 5 and June 22, 1939. The United States Government considers that the arrangement is still in force and will be glad to continue to observe its terms so far as visits of the United States forces to Canada are concerned. How- ever, in view of the changed situation the United States Government assumes that members of the armed forces of Canada will not come to the United States on any military mission, and it is hoped that so far as may be feasible members of the armed forces of Canada will not visit the United States in uniform.
