Tengo el honor de referirme a las recientes conversaciones sostenidas en orden al deseo del Gobierno de Nicaragua de que sea modificado en ciertos respectos el Tratado Comercial entre la República de Nicaragua y los Estados Unidos de América, suscrito en Managua el 11 de Marzo de 1936, a causa de las graves condiciones financieras de emergencia que se ve obligado a afrontar en la actualidad.
Cábeme ahora el honor de confirmar y dejar contancia por medio de la presente nota, del acuerdo a que se ha llegado, como resultado de las conversaciones referidas, entre el Gobierno de Nicaragua y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, acerca de que las estipulaciones del Artículo I, las del primer párrafo del Artículo II y las del Artículo III (excepto en cuanto se refiere ala nota primera de la Esta I agregada al Tratado) y las del Artículo V del mencionado Tratado de 11 de marzo de 1936, cesarán de estar en vigor y tener efecto a partir del día 10 de marzo del corriente año inclusive, en adelante.
Así mismo, tengo el honor de confirmar que si bien el tipo de cambio entre el córdoba de papel y el córdoba de oro va a ser aumentado para fines de recaudación de derechos aduaneros, el Gobierno de Nicaragua no contempla en realidad un aumento de los derechos básicos especificados en la Lista I del mismo Tratado Comercial.
Tengo la satisfacción de agregar que el Gobierno de Nicaragua tendrá a bien reabrir negociaciones con el Gobierno de los Estados

February 8, 1938.
I have the honor to refer to the recent conversations had with regard to the desire of the Government of Nicaragua that the trade agreement between the Republic of Nicaragua and the United States of America signed at Managua on March 11, 1936, be modified in certain respects on account of the grave emergency financial conditions which it is obliged to face at the present time.
I now have the honor to confirm and make of record by means of the present note, the agreement which, as a result of the conversations referred to, has been reached between the Government of Nicaragua and the Government of the United States, that the provisions of article I, those of the first paragraph of article II and those of article III (except insofar as relates to note 1 to schedule I appended to the agreement) and those of article V of the said agreement of March 11, 1936, shall cease to be in force and to have effect from the tenth day of March of the current year, inclusive, forward.
Furthermore, I have the honor to confirm that while the rate of exchange between the paper córdoba and the gold córdoba will be increased for purposes of collection of customs duties, the Government of Nicaragua does not in reality contemplate an increase in the basic duties specified in schedule I of the said trade agreement.
I have the satisfaction of adding that the Government of Nicaragua will be pleased to reopen negotiations with the Government of the United States, as soon as it is possible, for the renewal or replacement of the above-mentioned articles of the trade agreement of March 11, 1936.
I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my highest esteem and distinguished consideration.
His Excellency Mr.

No. 235.
Managua, D. N., Nicaragua, February 8, 1938.
Reference is made to recent conversations which have taken place with regard to the desire of the Government of Nicaragua, in view of the emergency financial conditions with which it finds itself confronted, that the Agreement between the United States of America and the Republic of Nicaragua signed at Managua on March 11, 1936, be modified in certain respects.
I have now the honor to confirm and make of record by this note the agreement which as a result of the conversations referred to has been reached between the Government of the United States and the Government of Nicaragua that the provisions of Article I, the First Paragraph of Article Two, Article Three (except insofar as it relates to Note One to Schedule I appended to the Agreement) and Article Five of the Agreement of March 11, 1936, shall cease to have force and effect on and after March 10, 1938.
The Government of the United States has noted that, while the conversion rate between the paper cordoba and gold cordoba will be increased for customs collection purposes, the Government of Nicaragua does not contemplate an increase in the basic rates of duty now specified in Schedule I of the Trade Agreement.
The Government of the United States has noted with pleasure the willingness of the Government of Nicaragua to enter into negotiations, at the earliest practicable date, for the renewal or replacement of the provisions of the above-mentioned articles of the Trade Agreement of March 11, 1936.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest esteem and most distinguished consideration.

Washington, March 31, 1938.
Arrangement with Sweden for reciprocal relief from double income tax on shipping profits.
In consequence thereof, Sweden is held to have satisfied the equivalent exemption provisions of Sections 212 (b) and 231 (e) of the Revenue
This exemption shall apply even though a Swedish corporation or company has an agency or a branch office in the United States, provided that the activities of the agency or branch office are limited to the direct operation of vessels.
By “maritime shipping companies”, shall be understood companies which are managed by an “owner” of vessels, the term “owner” including charterers.
Income or profits derived from the operation of vessels shall also include income or profits derived from the sale in the United States of steamship tickets issued by a Swedish corporation or company.
The same exemption from taxation shall, on condition of reciprocity, likewise be enjoyed by subjects of Sweden, not residents in the United States of America, for income which consists exclusively of earnings derived from the operation of a vessel, or vessels, documented under the laws of Sweden.
This exemption may be terminated at any time by either Government on six months’ notice given to the other Government.
Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
The Honorable
Minister of Sweden.
Washington D. C., March 31, 1938.
In order to insure that Swedish shipping will continue to enjoy the benefits of tax exemption which have been in effect in the United States of America pursuant to the exchange of notes commencing with the Swedish Legation’s notes of January 27, 1922, and February 24, 1922,1
In consequence thereof, the Royal Ordinance of September 28, 1928, concerning Income and Property Taxation, and The Swedish Communal Taxation Law of the same date shall in no case be applied to American shipping corporations, including maritime shipping companies, organized in the United States of America.
This exemption shall apply even though an American corporation or company has an agency or a branch office in Sweden, provided that the activities of the agency or branch office be limited to the direct operation of vessels.
By “maritime shipping companies”, shall be understood companies which are managed by an “owner” of vessels, the term “owner” including charterers.
Income or profits derived from the operation of vessels shall also include income or profits derived from the sale in Sweden of steamship tickets issued by an American corporation or company.
The same exemption from taxation shall, on condition of reciprocity, likewise be enjoyed by citizens of the United States of America, not residents in Sweden, for income which consists exclusively of earnings derived from the operation of a vessel, or vessels, documented under the laws of the United States of America.
This exemption may be terminated at any time by either Government on six months’ notice given to the other Government.
With renewed assurances of my highest consideration, I have the honour to remain, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
The Honourable
Secretary of State of the United States
of America.
The Department of State advises the Swedish Legation that so far as it is advised the income of foreign shipping companies is not being taxed by the state authorities.

Dans ces conditions la légalisation des dits certificats sanitaires, qu’exigent les autorités Américaines quand ces certificats seront délivrés par les autorités bulgares, comporterait à titre de réciprocité la légalisation des certificats sanitaires délivrés par les autorités Américaines. Cette légalisation devra s’effectuer selon les formes prescrites par la Loi bulgare pour les documents officiels.
