EXCHANGE OF NOTES BETWEEN CANADA AND THE NETHERLANDS CONSTITUTING AN AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE RESUMPTION OF TRADE RELATIONS

I

The Netherlands Minister to Canada to the Secretary of State for External Affairs

ROYAL NETHERLANDS LEGATION

OTTAWA, February 1, 1946

No. 370

Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that I have been directed by my Government to request the Government of Canada to terminate the suspension period of the Convention of Commerce concluded in Ottawa between our two Governments on July 11, 1924, and again place this Convention on the record of existing and valid Treaties.

I appreciate, however, that since trade has not yet been resumed between Canada and the Netherlands East Indies, the Convention will not be operative for the Netherlands East Indies until trade is resumed.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

The Government of Canada agrees to terminate the suspension period of this Conven­tion and place it again on the record of existing and valid Treaties.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

For the Secretary of State for External Affairs
