45. The Salvadoran Government today through the Foreign Office presented its answer and acceptance with modifications of the trade agreement proposed by the United States. The answer submits two lists of concessions: No. 1, containing 16 classifications on which the concessions requested by the United States are granted in full, No. 2, a larger list containing 23 classifications on which the concessions asked for by the United States are granted in part, the average concession being 77 per cent. Bound list to be fully conceded in either case.

The most important concessions in both lists are: (1) cotton grey goods and prints, (2) lumber, (3) tires, (4) paints.

Translation of the note and lists will go forward by the next air mail.12
