The Minister in Greece (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State

Athens, November 15, 1938—6 p.m.
[Received November 15—2:25 p.m.]

64. Modus vivendi signed. As it seemed preferable not to include exceptions in the body of the agreement, I have proposed and request the Department’s permission to address a note to the Minister for Foreign Affairs incorporating the language suggested in the Department’s instruction 492, October 12 except for the omission of “sardines in brine”, which the Greeks are willing to drop.

MacVeagh
