5. Please submit as soon as possible by mail comprehensive report on the present treatment by Lithuania of American trade. Legation at Riga has been requested to forward you a copy of a report from Tallinn3 to serve in form and content as a model. Special efforts should be made to obtain comparable information from Lithuanian officials and importers. Your report should show definitely whether American trade is at the present time receiving most-favored-nation treatment in Lithuania and, if not, precisely wherein such treatment is being denied.
