Talked with Cope¹ last night. I explained that position grave and that Council must have time to consider, one of three courses must be taken, acceptance of award or maintenance of present boundary or agreement for modification of terms of award before final publication. He promised to go House of Commons last night and let me know today. He hoped to see ministers and others.

I wait for his news.

Meanwhile I urge you send courteous but firm request for time to consider position both Government and Commission.
