Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Note No. 4 of January 23, 1920, stating that by an act of the Council of Ministers of Greece published in the Official Journal of December 27 the denunciation, as of March 1, 1919, of the Treaty of Commerce between the United States and Greece of December 16/22 [10/22], 1837, communicated to this Government in the Legation’s Note No. 416 of February 28, 1919, has been cancelled.
I have the honor also to acknowledge the receipt, on January 26, of your Note No. 82 of January 24, 1920, informing me by order of your Government that,—
“On the grounds set forth in the Royal Legation’s note No. 416 of February 28, 1919, the Treaty of Commerce of December 10/22, 1837, whose ratifications were exchanged at London on June 13/25, 1838, will terminate twelve months from the date of the notice which, as it is to go into effect on January 26, 1921, will bear date January 26, 1920.”
In reply I have the honor to state that this Government accepts the Greek Government’s withdrawal of its notice of denunciation of March 1, 1919, and that in accordance with the denunciation contained in your Note No. 82 the Treaty will continue in force until January 26, 1921.
