The Department of State to the British Embassy 61
Memorandum
The Department of State refers again to the memorandum of the British Embassy of January 7 which, after reference to the British Embassy’s note of December 7 concerning the proposed general measure, sometimes referred to as the “padlock law”, of the International Administration of Tangier, expressed the hope of His Majesty’s Government that the Government of the United States would see its way clear to authorize the American Diplomatic Agent and Consul General at Tangier to consent to the application of four specific draft laws altering certain tax rates to American nationals and ressortissants as soon as the measures should have become law.
The Department of State is pleased to inform the British Embassy that, through the American Diplomatic Agent and Consul General at Tangier, the consent of the Government of the United States has been given to the application of the four specific laws under reference to American nationals and ressortissants.
