The Chargé in the Netherlands (Sussdorff) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 16—9:43 a.m.]
29. Legation’s 26, June 5, 4 p.m.9 I am forwarding in today’s pouch five-page note from Netherlands Minister of Foreign Affairs9 stating that his Government is disposed to adhere to the Tangier convention but that certain questions affecting protégés outside of Tangier Zone are causing it to delay (see paragraphs 1 and 2 of article 13). Only reservation likely is nonadhesion to article 9 due to the fact that the Netherlands is not a party to the Versailles, St. Germain, and Trianon peace treaties.
Minister of Foreign Affairs requests information regarding the United States Government’s views concerning Tangier convention. If the United States [adheres] to the convention he inquires what conditions or reservations if any it will make.
