      or the Canadian National Railways, and Mr. D. C. Coleman, Vice-President 
      of the Canadian Pacific Railway. I have authorized these officials, 
      or persons appointed by them, to enter into conference with any 
      similar representatives of the United States lines whom you may 
      designate. I shall be glad to learn, therefore, which railroad 
      lines you propose to use when conveying Their Majesties from 
      Niagara Falls to Washington and on the subsequent journey to 
      Rouses Point, and which officials of these lines, or which representatives 
      of your Government, our officials should approach for the purpose 
      of working out cooperative plans.
 
      
 
 
It has also been represented to me that cooperation between 
      the police organizations of our two countries prior to and during 
      the time or the Royal Visit is desirable. In my capacity as Secretary 
      or State for External Affairs I am instructing our Legation at 
      Washington to take this matter up with the officials of the State 
      Department.
 
      
 
 
I shall be glad to hear from you at
