The Minister in Greece (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 8—2:10 p.m.]
61. Department’s instruction No. 484, September 29. I am happy to report that the Greek Government accepted today the Department’s second draft with only the substitution of the new subparagraph (b) of paragraph 2 of article No. II contained in the Department’s instruction under reference and the insertion of the suggested words “duly qualified” in subparagraph (d) of paragraph 3 thereof, as well as the modifications desired by the Department in article No. V. No Greek modifications or suggestions whatsoever. The Balkan clause was dropped. An exchange of notes following the Department’s prescribed language with only the authorized changes above cited is being prepared for prompt signature, the agreement to become operative January 1, 1939, when the new Greek quota period begins.
