October 7, 1970 MBMOUMDUM FOE THE MIMISTES Conversation with High Commissioner, London, concerning FCO Staff Meeting on the Croaa Kidnapping In oar conversation (about 6:00 thia morning), the High Commissioner in London reported a telephone eall from Mr. Greenhill, the Permanent UnderSecretary, to inform the High Commissioner of a "ataff meeting" in the Foreign Office ef ataff associations in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office en the •attar of the safety of their colleague. 2, The ataff groups stated that they generally understood and appreciated the attitude adopted by the Canadian government. They wondered, however, if consideration had been given, in order to attract the kidnappers, to a promise of amnesty for any captor who might come forward to negotiate. I confirmed confidentially that consideration had been given te a safe conduct offer. Thia idea might be reconsidered in light of developments. 3. The feeling in London seems to be that the kidnappers are not raallj prepared to execute Mr. Cross if they fail in their demands. I made the point that we consider then deadly serious and that thia should be conveyed to the British to avoid the strong and unavoidable reaction if Mr. Croaa were to be executed. A. E .
