Says Vichy "Relations cause Much concern

OTTAWA. May l9—(C?)—N0 matter l5 causing more concern to the United Kingdom and 10 other allied governments than the situation created by relations be- tween the Vichy Government and the enemy. Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King said in the House of Commons today.

He was replying to s. question from T, L. church (Con. Toronto- Broadvlew).

Any premature statement or ac- tion by Canada on this matter would not help the situation, Mr. King said.

He hoped members would not expect. s statement fi"om him at this time or in advance of a state- menl, by Prime Minister Churchill. The Prime Minister said the se- purity of the French islands in the western hemisphere had been subject of careful consideration by the Canada-United States joint defence board and the government of Canada. had kept careful watch over the islands of St. Pierre- Ml tie1on_ There need be no Ip- pi-e ension with regard t0 these

an . Meanwhile the government of Canada was in constant communi- cation with the United Kingdom Government on the larger question o: relations with the Vichy Gov- eminent.

Mi‘. Church had asked if the Govemment would consider the immediate closing of the "Vichy Embassy" here, The Prime Min- later replied that there was no “Vichy Embassy" in Ottawa.

He preslimed Mr. Church refer- red in the Hench Iiegation but said he would not discuss its status at this time.
