October 31, 1945.

There follows a summary of the attached message
from Ambassador Atherton on the Canadian reaction to
the President's Navy Day address:
1.
The Canadian press unanimously approved the
principles of foreign policy, but many papers
pointed to the difficulties of implementation.
2.
While most editorial writers appeared con-
vinced of our good faith and determination to
follow an enlightened course, one influential
paper, the usually friendly ii Winnipeg Free
Press" remarked that generalities would no
longer suffice and referred to an "inconsist-
ency between the multilateral approach sought
in the Eastern European situation and the
unilateral one adopted by the United States
in the Far East".
3.
The speech did not get normal coverage in
Canada because there are no Sunday papers
there. On Monday, however, reactions else-
where, particularly the more adverse of the
British comments, were widely circulated.
4.
The general informal reaction of Canadian
officials has been warm and unqualified
approval.
