Message No. 453.

The Press announces the 'coup de force' of the dissident party on St. Pierre. Most papers say that it was unsupported by the allied governments who were surprised by it. Such is the declaration by the Prime Minister. Certain papers raise the attitude of the United States and reprint the declaration of the State Department describing the action as arbitrary and contrary to the existing treaty.

Message Nos. 448 and 449.

New has come to me from Montreal that dissenting people are boasting that it will not be long before a 'coup' takes place in Saint Pierre. Yesterday I put our governor on his guard and I spoke this morning with ...... He told me everything, not hiding the fact that the situation of the island on an important sea route caused some anxiety to the government. He paid me a visit a moment ago to say that the Prime Minister was greatly surprised to hear the news, after the assurances given this morning, that ex-Admiral MUSELIER had just taken possession of Saint Pierre.

He was anxious to state that this had been done (without his knowledge?) and that the 'coup' was not supported by England or the United States, nor by Canada.

              <text>I was (doubtful ?) of his good faith having asked to see the Prime Minister and hear from his lips the details of the non-participation of Canada in the 'coup de force' on Saint Pierre, and Miquelon. In this connection, I learn that he is leaving immediately for Washington (although his departure had been planned for tomorrow).

I am sending a note to the Under-Secretary of State summarizing the arguments which I believe will appeal to him and asking that it be forwarded to the Prime Minister so that it should be discussed in his conversations with Mr. CHURCHILL and ROOSEVELT.

Insist on the fact that, the "VILLEDYS" having just (arrived in ?) Saint Pierre from Canada, the latter thus assumed the moral responsibility for enforcing respect for the sovereignty of the island.

CONALLY, President of the ......... has just stated to the press that the U. S. A. will have to engage in a painful and dangerous conflict, but he affirmed his conviction that ..........

He added that the present military problem, grave as it might be, should not make us overlook vital questions of diplomacy; among which he placed in the front rank of his preoccupations "the attitude of the French Government and the continued (eventual) neutrality of our fleet and of our army of North Africa".

The transformation of the Chancellery in Panama City into a consulate of class 2 being sufficient justification for limiting the territory of this post, the question arises of deciding whether this limitation should include, in addition to the Canal Zone and the province of Panama City in the administration sub-division of Panama any of the rest of the territory. On the other hand, since recognition must be requested for de NICOLAY from the Government of Panama and, also the Government of the United States, would it be wise to deliver to this agent two consular commissions in Panama one of which would be valid in the Panama territory under our jurisdiction, the other for the Canal Zone?
