2 November 1943: Memorandum for Robertson from Glazebrook

Glazebrook sought further assurances from the RCMP that no monitoring of diplomatic traffic was taking place, this time at the request of Lewis Clark, the Charge d’Affaires at the American Legation in Ottawa. RCMP Commissioner Stuart Wood assured Glazebrook that there was no “interference” with the calls to or from the American legation, and suggested Clark have experts examine his telephone system to prove it. Wood further assured Glazebrook that the RCMP only monitored telephone conversations where espionage was suspected. For his part, Glazebrook was satisfied with the explanation given.
