The Secretary of State to Mr. Walter Littlefield of the “New York Times”

Washington , December 21, 1928 .

My Dear Mr. Littlefield: I have your letter of November 30,²⁷ inquiring as to the attitude of the United States toward the recent agreement between Great Britain, France, Spain, and Italy, regarding Tangier.

The attitude of the United States remains that set forth in its correspondence with Great Britain, France, and Spain in 1924,²⁸ and in the memorandum communicated to Great Britain, France, Spain, and Italy last March, copy of which is enclosed.²⁶ I may add that since then no circumstance has developed which would cause this Government in any way to alter its position as regards Tangier.

Very sincerely yours,

Frank B. Kellogg
