In reply I take pleasure in informing you that a copy of the note under acknowledgment is being transmitted to the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. As soon as a reply shall have been received from Mr. Prall, I shall not fail to communicate with you again concerning this matter. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

The Secretary of State (Hull) to the Minister of Canada (Marler) DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, August 17, 1937. SIR: Reference is made to your note of March 2, 1937, and my reply of March 10, 1937, in regard to the communication by the United States to the Canadian Government of information concerning the prospec- tive issuance of new radio licenses or the possible alteration of fre- quencies which may affect the use in Canada of the radio channels involved. The Government of the United States is prepared to communicate with the Canadian Government regarding proposed action on all applications for new or additional broadcast facilities which may involve interference with existing Canadian stations, provided the Canadian Government will likewise inform the Government of the United States of any new or additional facilities for broadcast sta- tions for which application has been made to it and which may in- volve interference with existing stations in the United States. It should be understood in this connection that the determination of interference would be made by means of the current mileage sepa- ration tables published by the Federal Communications Commission
