Rien dans l'Accord Commercial du 28 Mars 1935 ne sera interprêté de façon à empêcher l'adoption ou la mise en vigueur par l'un quelconque des deux pays de mesures ayant trait à la sécurité publique ou prises pour la protection des intérêts vitaux du pays en temps de guerre ou autre circonstance critique nationale. 3.-Référant à l'échange de notes entre les Gouvernements de la République d'Haiti et des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, effectué les 16 et 19 Février 1942, à propos des avantages tarifaires exclusivement accordés par la République d'Haiti à la République Dominicaine et spécifiquement énumérés dans le Traité de Commerce entre la République d'Haiti et la République Dominicaine signé le 26 Août 1941, il est entendu que les dispositions des notes échangées les 16 et 19 Février 1942 s'étendront également aux sacs vides de sisal comme il a été prévu par l'échange de notes du 24 Mars 1942 qui complète les dispositions du Traité de Commerce du 26 Août 1941.
