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.
