YOUR CREDAS 55, 56, AND 57: NON-COTTON TEXTILES.

WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ADVICE. WE ACCEPT YOUR

AMENDMENTS TO THIRD PARAGRAPH OF MEMORANDUM AND AGREE THAT

COVERING LETTER SHOULD BE ON THE LINES YOU SUGGEST.

2. HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO ADOPT EITHER YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR

PARAGRAPHS 5 AND 6 OF THE MEMORANDUM OR PARAGRAPH 4 OF YOUR

DRAFT COVERING LETTER, SINCE THESE WOULD GO BEYOND OUR EXISTING

POLICY AND WOULD BE OUT OF LINE WITH PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS WE

HAVE HAD WITH OTHER COUNTRIES CONCERNED.

3.

MY TWO FOLLOWING TELEGRAMS GIVE DETAILS OF REVISIONS TO

COVERING LETTER AND MEMORANDUM. THESE ARE BEING SUBMITTED

IN THEIR REVISED FORM TO NO. 10 ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, 25 FEBRUARY.
