59 STAT.] CANADA-SOCKEYE SALMON FISHERIES July 21,944 1615 Aug. 5, 1944 1615 5. The regular procedure for the payment of expenses properly incurred by the Commission is that such expenses are paid by the Canadian Government, one-half being recoverable later by Canada from the United States. This procedure was agreed to by the United States by your note of December 10, 1937. [1] It is acceptable to the Canadian Government that this procedure should be followed with respect to expenditures incurred by the Commission for the pro- posed remedial works. 6. It would appear desirable that the recommendations of the Commission as set forth in its letter and report of January 11, 1944 and the arrangements proposed for implementing these recommenda- tions should be formally approved by Exchange of Notes between the two Governments. 7. If these proposals are acceptable to the Government of the United States, this note and your reply thereto accepting the proposals shall be regarded as placing on record the agreement of the two gov- ernments concerning this matter. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurance of my highest consideration. L B PEARSON Charge d'Ajfaires. The Honourable CORDELL HULL, Secretary of State of the United States, Washington, D. C . 1 [Not printed.]
