70. Reference line 3 of article 6 on page 6 of amended draft of halibut convention transmitted with Department’s instruction number 793 of March 6 last. Instead of expression “exchanged in Ottawa” Canadian final rough draft has “exchanged at Ottawa” which they desire to retain since meaning unchanged. Am informally advised Prime Minister plans for signature on 9th instant. Please instruct whether I may sign with contemplated change.
