The Acting Chief of the Division of Near Eastern Affairs, Department of State (Robbins) to the Greek Chargé (Vouros)
My Dear Mr. Vouros: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your memorandum of April 29th, delivered to me in person. You state therein that the Royal Hellenic Government is desirous of according reciprocity to the United States Government and has inquired whether, pending ratification of the agreement modifying the provisions of Article XVII of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation concluded between Greece and the United States on December 22, 1837, the latter Government is applying the rates of the differential [Page 153] tariff on goods coming from Greece in conformity with the disposition of said Treaty.
I am pleased to inform you that Greek goods entering American territory are, in present practice, accorded most-favored-nation treatment and that no discrimination of any character whatsoever is in operation at present against Greek goods or ships.
Very truly yours,
