reached the following agreement which is to remain in force during the life of the Treaty:

In the event of the establishment of a monopoly for the importation, production, or sale of a particular commodity by the Government or by a private individual or organization under authority of the Government, my Government agrees that in respect of the foreign purchases of such monopoly the commerce of your country shall receive fair and equitable treatment. To this end it is agreed that in making its foreign purchases of any product such monopoly will be influenced solely by those considerations, such as price, quality, marketability, and terms of sale, which would ordinarily be taken into account by a private commercial enterprise interested solely in purchasing such product on the most favorable terms.

Saranromya Palace, 13th November, 1937.

Referring to Article 1 of the Treaty signed by us this day which provides among other things for the holding of real property in Siam by Americans, I have the honour to state that:

1. With respect to lands of which American nationals, partnerships, corporations, or associations are the rightful owners, whether or not they now possess papers of any kind, they may apply to have title papers issued in the regular way.

2. As to the lands held under lease from Government, the Siamese Government will not interrupt the possession by the missions as long as they continue to use the land for mission purposes.

3. It is understood that the Siamese Government is not identified with Wat administration; that is to say, the foregoing understanding must not be construed as a promise by the Government to interfere with lands held and claimed by religious authorities, whether Buddhists or of any other faith.

4. Of course, all mission lands are held subject to the exercise by the Siamese Government of the right of eminent domain.

I avail myself of this opportunity, Monsieur le Ministre, to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my highest consideration. LUANG PRADIST MANUDHARM
