Treaty Series No. 599½.]
The Secretary of State to the Norwegian Minister.
Washington, January 7, 1915.
My dear Mr. Minister: Replying to your Government’s telegram, of January 4, 1915, and communicated to this Department on January 7, 1915, I beg to suggest that the two Governments agree that unless the appointment of the Commission is completed by February 21, 1915, the time be extended by mutual agreement until the contracting parties are able to complete the selection.
If your Government agrees to this, a favorable answer taken in connection with this note will be regarded as an agreement.
Accept, excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
