45. Department’s telegram 25. During the absence of present Foreign Minister in Paris, Doctor Schüller who has matter in hand has given assurance that his informal understanding with me for the reciprocal application of most-favored-nation treatment will continue after July 16th until the treaty now being negotiated has been concluded and become effective.

Referring to my despatch No. 754, June 17th,7 Schüller intimated that recent tariff changes of Hungary and Czechoslovakia may oblige him in September to enter into discussion with respect to forthcoming treaty between the United States and Austria, on the lines of paragraph 222, Treaty of Saint Germain.
