842.612 Peaches/35
The Minister in Canada ( Phillips ) to Secretary of State
[Received April 28.]
Sir: Referring to the Department’s instruction No. 183, of March 20, 1928, on the subject of the Canadian embargo on peaches, and particularly with reference to the question of whether the Dominion Government might be disposed to lift the embargo for the province of Ontario, I have the honor to report that I made further inquiry this morning concerning the matter.
The Under Secretary of State for External Affairs informed me that although he had received no definite reply from the Department of Agriculture on the subject, he was practically certain that there was no prospect of Minister Motherwell acceding to the Legation’s request to lift the Ontario embargo.
I have [etc.]
Secretary of Legation
