1942 by which certain products were added to the list specified in the Commercial Agreement. In this connection you mention the contractual formula for tariff preferences to contiguous countries recommended on September 18, 1941 by the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee, and inquire whether, in view of the Committee's recommendation and considering the special and unusual conditions affecting the trade between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, my Government would be willing to refrain from claiming, under the provisions of the modus vivendi between our two countries of September 25, 1924, the benefit of the tariff preferences to the Republic of Haiti specifically provided for in the Commercial Agreement of August 26, 1941 as modified by the exchange of notes of March 24, 1942. I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that my Government, in view of the considerations set forth, agrees not to invoke the pertinent provisions of the modus vivendi for the purpose of claiming the benefit of such tariff preferences. Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. His Excellency ARTURO DESPRADEL, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Ciudad Trujillo, D.R. A. M.
