Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by Mr. E. S. Maney of the Division of European Affairs
Mr. Cates38 telephoned that the agreement has been signed with the Irish. He said that the agreement was substantially in accordance with the Irish Vice Consul’s letter to the Maritime Commission of September 23 except that the question of $20,000 expended on each vessel at the instance of the Irish authorities would be settled Monday next.39 Mr. Cates said they had assured the Irish that they would allow the Irish to offset this sum against charter payments, reimburse the Irish for the amounts expended, or assume responsibility for the accounts. I asked Mr. Cates if he would send Mr. Stewart a copy of the charter party and he said that he would as soon as he had some copies made.
