Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 3rd instant, in which you inform me that your Government authorizes you to state that in its opinion the taxes especially allocated to the service of the loan mentioned in your note of October 18, 1922, are sufficient and, at the same time, to state that should they for any reasons not be sufficient the President of Cuba will pledge additional funds from the ordinary revenues of the Cuban Government to the service of the loan, in accordance with the authority granted to him by the loan statute.
In view of this assurance I take pleasure in informing you that the Department has no objection to the negotiation by the Cuban Government of the loan described in your note under acknowledgment.56
