The Canadian Embassy to the Department of State

Memorandum

With its memorandum of February 7th the Canadian Embassy enclosed copies of a memorandum outlining the matters which, in the view of the Canadian Government, might fall within the scope of a multilateral air transport convention.

Enclosed for the confidential information of the United States Government are eight copies of the draft of such a convention.53 This draft is a tentative and provisional statement of the policy of the Canadian Government.

The Canadian Government is most anxious to receive at an early date the preliminary views of the United States Government on the general subject of postwar civil aviation.
