The Minister of Canada (Marler) to the Secretary of State (Hull) No. 46: Agreement with Canada regarding the exchange of informa- tion concerning issu- ance of radio licenses. CANADIAN LEGATION, Washington, March 2, 1937 SIR: I have the honour to refer to the Canadian Legation's Aide Me- moire of January 7th, 1937, 1 and the Department of State's reply of January 19th concerning the application of the Power City Broad- casting Corporation and the Niagara Falls Gazette Publishing Com- pany of Niagara Falls, New York, for permission to establish a broadcasting station on a frequency of 630 kilocycles. This exchange of correspondence dealt with the possible interference which might be caused by the proposed station at Niagara Falls to Station CFCO operating on a frequency of 630 kilocycles at Chatham, Ontario. It may be expected that from time to time the competent authori- ties of the Government of the United States will receive applications for permission to establish new broadcasting stations on frequency channels shared between Canada and the United States and for alter- ation in the assignment of such channels. In certain cases the grant- ing of such applications might give rise to interference with Cana- dian stations operating on the same channel. I have been instructed to enquire whether the Government of the United States would be agreeable to communicating with the Cana- dian Government in future before issuing licenses for new stations or altering the assignment of frequencies of existing stations on channels now shared between the United States and Canada, in cases where interference might be caused to the free and unrestricted use of such channels in Canada. The purpose of such a notification would be to give an opportunity to the Canadian Government of expressing their views in connection therewith. I have the honour to be, with the highest consideration, Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, HERBERT M MARLER The Hon. CORDEL HuLL, Secretary of State of the United States, Washington, D. G.
