With reference to correspondence ending with my
telegram No* 107 of the 26th December 1930, I have sub*-
mltted the drafts to the Council vide copy of my letter to
the Council, with enclosures, attached, and will communi
cate their reply to you as soon as it is received. Draft
A stipulates the specific maximum tariff rates of
7i on general merchandise and 15 % on alcohol
and cigarettes, and
B merely stipulates most favoured nation treatment*.
The Council will most probably ask me to Cf^h
how matjersfhave progressed with the United States. I

presume I can show them American Department of State letter

warding endorsement N0.622-S of 6th December 1930 was
marked confidential. Could you please let me have a reply
by telegram.
DRAFTS A and B .
3. I have no remarks to make on a. With regard tb B.
The phrase "if a vessel of other nations 11 is not of course
good English, but it appears in the original text* The
two deletions are proposed since - if the French Govern
ment obtain most favoured nation treatment - these passages
would seem to be redundant. The substitutions explain
themselves: probably some other phrase would do quite as
well. / ^ / . /
