Following for Hodgson personally and very confidentially.

I have had a talk this morning with Canadian officials who had no
news but who were very worried about position their country will
be in if worst happens. They fear that once pressure from what
they term ardent British will increase determination French not to
become involved and that there is likely to be unpleasant and
acrimonious debate when Parliament meets. They inquired probable
Australian attitude. I said that I had no information beyond press
reports of Prime Minister's [1] remarks which seemed to indicate
full support of United Kingdom. They asked re New Zealand and I
expressed view that their attitude at Geneva seemed to make their
support of United Kingdom quite certain.
