The Dominican Minister (Ariza) to the Secretary of State
Mr. Secretary of State: I have the honor to forward herewith to you a certified copy of Resolution No. 179 passed by the Dominican [Page 53] Congress on the 23rd and 25th of May, 1925,9 carrying approval of the Convention concluded between the United States of America and the Dominican Republic on the 27th of December, 1924.
This Resolution also contains several explanations that the Dominican Congress saw fit to give with a proposal similar to that expressed by the said Congress in its approval of the Dominican-American Convention of February 8, 1907, that is to say, with the understanding that these explanations in no wise change the text of the Convention and only serve to dispel any doubt that may arise concerning its interpretation.
By virtue of that Resolution and in accordance with instructions from my Government, I have the honor to submit the said Resolution, through Your Excellency’s worthy medium, to the approval of the Government of the United States.
I avail myself [etc.]
