 CUBA-RECIPROCAL TRADE-DEC. 18, 1939 of Cuba is not altered to Cuba's disadvantage as compared with that established in the quota provisions of the United States Sugar Act of 1937. I further have the honor to confirm your understanding that the note which has been inserted, by a provision of the supplementary trade agreement between the United States and Cuba signed at Washington on this day, after Item 253 of Schedule I of the trade agreement entered into between the United States and Cuba on August 24, 1934, will make possible the application of such an ar- rangement in the event it is desired by your Government and is found acceptable by my Government, notwithstanding the provisions of Article II and items 253-A and 253-B of Schedule I of the agreement of August 24, 1934. Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest con- sideration.
