The Honorable H e n r y M o r g e n t h a u , Junior, Secretary of the Treasury.
M y D ear M r . S e c r e t a r y : The Act to amend the Tariff Act of 1930, approved June 12, 1934, provides in part that the President may suspend the application of duties pro claimed under its authority to articles the growth, prod uce or manufacture of any country because of its discrimina tory treatment of American Commerce or because of other acts or policies which in his opinion tend to defeat the purposes set forth in the Act. Pursuant to this pro vision of the Act, I hereby direct that the duties proclaimed on this date in connection with the trade agreement signed on September 13, 1935, with Colombia shall be applied only to articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the coun tries hereinafter designated and to such articles, in the case of each country, respectively, for the period indicated in the numbered section below in which such country is designated.
1. In respect of the products of each country designated in this section, the proclaimed duties shall be applied from the effective date of such duties until thirty days from the date on which you are notified by me that the United States has ceased, or on a day certain will cease, to be bound by provisions of a treaty or agreement providing for mostfavored-nation treatment in respect of customs duties.
