The Ambassador in Italy (Phillips) to the Secretary of State

[Received October 11—8:22 a.m.]

460. Department’s telegram No. 83, August 30, 7 p.m. Italian reply dated October 7 received today. It merely repeats arguments already advanced in their note verbale of July 24 and again evinces willingness to examine the possibility of a revision of the temporary agreement with a view to taking into account changed requirements of Italian economy.
