With the St. Pierre Miquelon incident to your communication
 
of December 13 and has stated that he regards this Govern-
 
ment "as obligated to obtain the reestablishment of
 
French sovereignty over St. Pierre Miquelon."
 
     We have already discussed the application of the
 
Habana Convention to this situation and I do not need to
 
go into that here.  I am confident, however, that the
 
American Republics are watching the matter and will not
 
be loathe to view our action with circumspection.
 
     If the proposed telegram meets your approval
 
I shall at once take it up with the British and Canadian
 
Governments. 
 
          Faithfully yours,
 
          Cordell Hull
