hsm -2- No. 134, June 14, from 0ttavta (Section 2)
(GRAY) Mackenzie King told me that he had just
given this pledge to Parliament. He added a sentence
which he felt was a paraphrase of the Charlottesville
speech and yet which he felt did not speak for the United
States. This sentence read: "If I know the heart of
the American people as I believe I do, and as I am certain
I know the heart of the Canadian people, I believe I can
say to President Rrynaud, in this hour of agony that the
resources of the whole North American continent will be
European democracies ere this continent will see democracy
itself trodden under the iron heel of the Nazis." (END GRAY)
The Prime Minister asked me to inform you that Canada
is sparing no effort, that Canadian troops are now fighting
in France, and that all available plans, equipment and
ammunition have been sent abroad. He viewed the situation
as so grave that every hour counted and wanted all informa-
tion which he might have to be available to you without delay.
