Belle Fourche River Compact

Text of compact.

The States of South Dakota and Wyoming, parties signatory to this compact (hereinafter referred to as South Dakota and Wyoming, respectively, or individually as a State, or collectively as the States), have resolved to conclude a compact as authorized under the Act of Congress of February 26, 1927, Chapter 216, 44 Stat. 1247, and, after 58 Stat. 95negotiations participated in by the following named State Commissioners.

For South Dakota: M. Q. Sharpe G. W. Morsman S. G. Mortimer W. D. Buchholz For Wyoming: L. C. Bishop Samuel McKean L. H. Robinson Mrs. E. E. McKean

and by Howard R. Stinson, appointed as the Representative of the United States of America, have agreed upon the following articles, to-wit:
article i A. The major purposes of this compact are to provide for the most efficient use of the waters of the Belle Fourche River Basin (hereinafter referred to as the Basin) for multiple purposes; to provide for an equitable division of such waters; to remove all causes, present and future, which might lead to controversies; to promote interstate comity; to recognize that the most efficient utilization of the waters within the Basin is required for the full development of the Basin; and to promote joint action by the States and the United States in the efficient use of water and the control of floods. B. The physical and other conditions peculiar to the Basin constitute the basis for this compact; and none of the States hereby, nor the Congress of the United States by its consent, concedes that this compact establishes any general principle or precedent with respect to any other interstate stream. C. Either State and all others using, claiming or in any manner asserting any right to the use of the waters of the Belle Fourche River under the authority of that State, shall be subject to the terms of this compact.
article ii As used in this compact: A. The term “Belle Fourche River” shall mean and include the Belle Fourche River and all its tributaries originating in Wyoming. B. The term “Basin” shall mean that area in South Dakota and Wyoming which is naturally drained by the Belle Fourche River, and all its tributaries. C. The term “beneficial use” is herein defined to be that use by which the water supply of a drainage basin is depleted when usefully employed by the activities of man, and includes water lost by evaporation, and other natural causes from streams, canals, ditches, irrigated areas, and reservoirs. D. Where the name of the State or the term “State” or “States” is used, these shall be construed to include any person or entity of any nature whatsoever using, claiming, or in any manner asserting any right to the use of the waters of the Belle Fourche River under the authority of that State.
article iii

It shall be the duty of the two States to administer this compact through the official in each State who is now or may hereafter be charged with the duty of administering the public water supplies, and to collect and correlate through such officials the data necessary for 58 Stat. 96the proper administration of the provisions of this compact. Such officials may, by unanimous action, adopt rules and regulations consistent with the provisions of this compact.

The United States Geological Survey, or whatever Federal agency may succeed to the functions and duties of that agency, insofar as this compact is concerned, shall collaborate with the officials of the States charged with the administration of this compact in the execution of the duty of such officials in the collection, correlation, and publication of information necessary for the proper administration of this compact.
article iv Each State shall itself or in conjunction with other responsible agencies cause to be established, maintained, and operated such suit-able water gaging stations as it finds necessary to administer this compact.
article v A.

Wyoming and South Dakota agree that the unappropriated waters of the Belle Fourche River as of the date of this compact shall be allocated to each State as follows:

90% to South Dakota 10% to Wyoming;

Provided that allocations to Wyoming shall be exclusive of the use of these waters for domestic and stock use, and Wyoming shall be allowed unrestricted use for these purposes, except that no reservoir for such use shall exceed 20 acre-feet in capacity. For storage of its allocated water, Wyoming shall have the privilege of purchasing at cost not to exceed 10% of the total storage capacity of any reservoir or reservoirs constructed in Wyoming for irrigation of lands in South Dakota, or may construct reservoirs itself for the purpose of utilizing such water, Either State may temporarily divert, or store for beneficial use, any unused part of the above percentages allotted to the other, but no continuing right shall be established thereby.

 B. Rights to the use of the waters of the Belle Fourche River, whether based on direct diversion or storage, are hereby recognized as of the date of this compact to the extent these rights are valid under the law of the State in which the use is made, and shall remain unimpaired hereby. These rights, together with the additional allocations made under A of this Article, are agreed to be an equitable apportionment between the States of the waters of the Basin. C. The waters allocated under A of this Article and the rights recognized under B of this Article are hereinafter referred to collectively as the apportioned water. For the purposes of the administration of this compact and determining the apportioned water at any given date within a given calendar year, there shall be taken the sum of: (1) The quantity of water in acre-feet that passed the Wyoming-South Dakota State line during the period from January 1 of that year to that given date. (2) The quantity of water in acre-feet, in storage on that date in all reservoirs built in Wyoming on the Belle Fourche River subsequent to the date of this compact.
article vi Any person, entity, or State shall have the right to acquire necessary property rights in another State by purchase or through the exercise of the power of eminent domain for the construction, operation and 58 Stat. 97maintenance of storage reservoirs and of appurtenant works, canals, and conduits required for the enjoyment of the privileges granted by Article V and Article VII A; provided, however, that the grantees of such rights shall pay to the political subdivisions of the State in which such works are located, each and every year during which such rights are enjoyed for such purposes, a sum of money equivalent to the average annual amount of taxes assessed against the lands and improvements thereon during the 10 years preceding the use of such lands in reimbursement for the loss of taxes to said political subdivision of the State.
article vii A. Either State shall have the right, by compliance with the laws of the other State, to file applications for and receive permits to construct or participate in the construction and use of any dam, storage reservoir, or diversion works in such State for the purpose of con-serving and regulating the apportioned water of the other State; provided, that such right is subject to the rights of the other State to control, regulate, and use water apportioned to it. B. Each claim hereafter initiated for storage or diversion of water in one State for use in another State shall be filed in the Office of the State Engineer of the State in which the water is to be stored or diverted, and a duplicate copy of the application including a map showing the character and location of the proposed facilities and the lands to be irrigated shall be filed in the Office of the State Engineer of the State in which the water is to be used. If a portion or all the lands proposed to be reclaimed are located in a State other than the one in which the water is to be stored or diverted, then, before approval of the application shall be granted, said application shall be checked against the records of the appropriate office of the State in which the water is to be used, and a notation shall be placed thereon by the officer in charge of such records to the effect that the land description does not indicate a conflict with existing water rights. All endorsements shall be placed on both the original and duplicate copies of all such maps filed to the end that the records in both States may be complete and identical. C. Appropriations may hereafter be adjudicated in the State in which the water is stored or diverted, and where a portion or all of the lands irrigated are in the other State, such adjudications shall be confirmed in the latter State by the proper authority. Each adjudication is to conform with the laws of the State where the water is stored or diverted and shall be recorded in the county and State where the water is used.
article viii In case any reservoir is constructed in Wyoming, to be used principally for irrigation of lands in South Dakota, sufficient water not to exceed 10 cubic feet per second shall be released at all times for stock water use.
article ix No reservoir hereafter built solely to utilize the water allocated to Wyoming shall have a capacity in excess of 1,000 acre-feet.
article x The provisions of this compact shall remain in full force and effect until amended by action of the Legislature of the States and con58 Stat. 98sented to and approved by the Congress of the United States in the same manner as this compact is required to be ratified to become effective.
article xi This compact may be terminated at any time by unanimous con-sent of the States, and upon such termination, all rights then established hereunder or recognized hereby shall continue to be recognized as valid by the States notwithstanding the termination of the other provisions of the compact.
article xii Nothing in this compact shall be construed to limit or prevent either State from instituting or maintaining any action or proceeding, legal or equitable, in any Federal court or the United States Supreme Court for the protection of any right under this compact or the enforcement of any of its provisions.
article xiii Nothing in this compact shall be deemed: A. To impair or affect any rights or powers of the United States, its agencies, or instrumentalities, in and to the use of the waters of the Belle Fourche River nor its capacity to acquire rights in and to the use of said waters; B. To subject any property of the United States, its agencies, or instrumentalities to taxation by either State or subdivision thereof, nor to create an obligation on the part of the United States, its agencies, or instrumentalities, by reason of the acquisition, construction or operation of any property or works of whatsoever kind, to make any payments to any State or political subdivision thereof, State agency, municipality, or entity whatsoever in reimbursement for the loss of taxes; C. To subject any property of the United States, its agencies, or instrumentalities, to the laws of any State to an extent other than the extent to which these laws would apply without regard to the compact.
article xiv This compact shall become operative when approved by the Legislature of each of the States, and when consented to by the Congress of the United States by legislation providing, among other things, that: A. Any beneficial uses hereafter made by the United States, or those acting by or under its authority, within a State, of the waters allocated by this compact, shall be within the allocations hereinabove made for use in that State and shall be taken into account in determining the extent of use within that State. B. The United States, or those acting by or under its authority, in the exercise of rights or powers arising from whatever jurisdiction the United States has in, over and to the waters of the Belle Fourche River and all its tributaries, shall recognize, to the extent consistent with the. best utilization of the water’s for multiple purposes that beneficial use of the waters within the Basin is of paramount importance to development of the Basin, and no exercise of such power or right, thereby that would interfere with the full beneficial use of the waters shall be made except upon a determination, giving due consideration to the objectives of this compact and after consultation with all interested Federal agencies and the State officials charged with 58 Stat. 99the administration of this compact, that such exercise is in the interest of the best utilization of such waters for multiple purpose. C. The United States, or those acting by or under its authority, will recognize any established use, for domestic and irrigation purposes, of the apportioned waters which may be impaired by the exercise of Federal jurisdiction in, over, and to such waters; provided, that such use is being exercised beneficially, is valid under the laws of the appropriate State and in conformity with this compact at the time of the impairment thereof, and was validly initiated under State law prior to the initiation or authorization of the Federal program or project which causes such impairment.
article xv Should a court of competent jurisdiction hold any part of this compact to be contrary to the constitution of any State or of the United States, all other severable provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

In Witness Whereof the Commissioners have signed this compact in triplicate original, one of which shall be filed in the archives of the Department of State of the United States of America and shall be deemed the authoritative original, and of which a duly certified copy shall be forwarded to the Governor of each of the States.

Done at the City of Cheyenne in the State of Wyoming, this 18th day of February, in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-three.

Burley tobacco acre-age allotment.

 Whereas, on December 7, 1941, while the people of the Philippine

Philippine Islands.

 Islands were peacefully engaged in achieving for themselves their complete political independence in the manner mutually agreed upon by the Government of the United States and the people of the Philippine Islands, which independence was to become fully effective July 4, 1946, the Japanese in a wholly unprovoked, wantonly treacherous, and surprise attack on the people of the Philippines and of the United States, did by military invasion interrupt these orderly and mutually agreeable processes for complete independence of the Philippines; and Whereas the American and Filipino troops made a valiant and courageous defense to the aggression of the Japanese invader and were overwhelmed only by the surprise and superior numbers and equipment of the enemy; and Whereas the Japanese are now in possession and control of the land, peoples, business, communication, and institutions of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, and because of these circumstances the Filipino people are denied the free use and employment of the processes and political institutions jointly established by the Government of the United States and the Commonwealth of the Philippines for the transaction of private and public business and for the maintenance of liberty, law and order, and justice in the Philippine Islands; and Whereas by this possession and invasion the Japanese have attempted to frustrate the free processes to independence in the Philippines by substituting therefor their own puppet government which was conceived in intrigue, born in coercion, and reared primarily for the purpose of Japanese selfishness and aggrandizement and not to achieve the independence and freedom of the Filipino people; and Whereas the Government of the United States has solemnly guaranteed to the people of the Philippine Islands the right to be completely free and independent and to select by a free ballot, without any kind of inducement or coercion whatsoever, those who shall hold the elective offices in such government and exercise the power and authority thereof, which solemn guaranties have been temporarily made impossible of fulfillment due to the wantonly treacherous and surprise attack on the free people of the Philippine Islands; and Whereas, because of the valiant resistance by the Philippine people, which is even now continuing while the invader occupies parts of the Philippines, and because of the long and unbroken record of loyalty of the Filipino people, both to the cause of complete independence for themselves and to the sovereignty of the United States58 Stat. 626 while they have been under our flag, and because they have abundantly demonstrated their will to independence through the processes mutually agreed upon by the people of the Philippines and the Government of the United States, and their will to resist all outside invasion and encroachment, which seek to destroy or set aside their march to independence, and because they have abundantly proved their capacity to govern themselves in an enlightened, progressive, and democratic manner: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Declaration of policy.
That it is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress that the United States shall drive the treacherous, invading Japanese from the Philippine Islands, restore as quickly as possible the orderly and free democratic processes of government to the Filipino people, and thereupon establish the complete independence of the Philippine Islands as a separate and self-governing nation.
Sec. 2.

Defense bases.

 After negotiation with the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, or the President of the Filipino Republic, the President of the United States is hereby authorized by such means as he finds appropriate to withhold or to acquire and to retain such bases, necessary appurtenances to such bases, and the rights incident thereto,

in addition to any provided for by the Act of March 24, 1934, as he may deem necessary for the mutual protection of the Philippine Islands and of the United States.
Sec. 3.

Date of independence.

 In order speedily to effectuate the policy declared in section 1, the President of the United States is hereby authorized, after proclaiming that constitutional processes and normal functions of government have been restored in the Philippine Islands and after consultation with the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, to advance the date of the independence of the Philippine Islands by proclaiming their independence as a separate and self-governing nation prior to July 4, 1946.

termination of subcontracts shall be based on the same principles as compensation for the termination of prime contracts. (b)

Methods and standards for determining fair compensation.

 with section 13 of this Act: Provided, That no settlement agreement hereunder involving payment to a war contractor of an amount in excess of $50,000 (or such lesser amount as the Director may from time to time determine) shall become binding upon the Government until the agreement has been reviewed and approved by a settlement review board of three or more members established by the contracting agency in the bureau, division, regional or district office, or other unit of the contracting agency authorized to make such settlement, or in the event of disapproval by the settlement review board, unless approved by the head of such bureau, division, regional or district office, or other unit. Failure of the settlement review board to act upon any settlement within thirty days after its submission to the board shall operate as approval by the board. The sole function of settlement review boards shall be to determine the over-all reasonableness of proposed settlement agreements from the point of view of protecting the interests of the Government. In determining, for purposes of this subsection, whether review of any settlement agreement is required because of the amounts involved, no deduction shall be made on account of credits for property chargeable to the Government58 Stat. 653 or for advance or partial payments, but amounts payable, under such, settlement agreement for completed articles or work at the contract price and for the discharge of the termination claims of subcontractors shall be deducted. (d) Except as hereinafter provided, the methods and standards

Items to be considered in determining fair compensation.

 established under subsection (b) of this section for determining fair compensation for termination claims which are not settled by agreement shall be designed to compensate the war contractor fairly for the termination of the war contract, taking into account— (1) the direct and indirect manufacturing, selling and distribution, administrative and other costs and expenses incurred by the war contractor which are reasonably necessary for the performance of the war contract and properly allocable to the terminated portion thereof under recognized commercial accounting practices; and (2) reasonable costs and expenses of settling termination claims of subcontractors related to the terminated portion of the war contract; and (3) reasonable accounting, legal, clerical, and other costs and expenses incident to termination and settlement of the terminated war contract; and (4) reasonable costs and expenses of removing, preserving, storing and disposing of termination inventories; and (5) such allowance for profit on the preparations made and work done for the terminated portion of the war contract as is reasonable under the circumstances; and (6) interest on the termination claim in accordance with subsection (f) of this section; and (7)

the contract price and all amounts otherwise paid or payable under the contract.

The following shall not be included as elements of cost:

Items excluded.

 (i) Losses on other contracts, or from sales or exchanges of capital assets, fees and other expenses in connection with reorganization or recapitalization, antitrust or Federal income-tax litigation, or prosecution of Federal income-tax claims or other claims against the Government (except as provided in paragraph (3) above); losses on investments; provisions for contingencies; and premiums on life insurance where the contractor is the beneficiary. (ii) The expense of conversion of the contractor’s facilities to uses other than the performance of the contract. (iii) Expenses due to the negligence or willful failure of the con-tractor to discontinue with reasonable promptness the incurring of expenses after the effective date of the termination notice. (iv)

The failure specifically to mention in this subsection any item of

 (e)

Settlement of termination claims by agreement wherever feasible.

 In order to carry out the objectives of this Act, termination claims shall be settled by agreement to the maximum extent feasible and the methods and standards established under subsection (b) of this section shall be designed to facilitate such settlements. To the extent that he deems it practicable to do so without impeding expeditious settlements, the Director shall require the contracting agencies to take into account the factors enumerated in subsection (d) above in establishing methods and standards for determining fair compensation in the settlement of termination claims by agreement. (f)

Interest on amounts due and unpaid under prime contracts.

 Each contracting agency shall allow and pay interest on the amount due and unpaid from time to time on any termination claim under a prime contract, at the rate of 2½ per centum per annum for the period beginning thirty days after the date fixed for termination and ending with the date of final payment, except that (1) if the prime

Amendment of contracts.

 Where any war contract does not provide for or provides against such fair compensation for its termination, the contracting agency, either before or after its termination, shall amend such war contract by agreement with the war contractor, or shall authorize, approve, or ratify an amendment of such war contract by the parties thereto, to provide for such fair compensation.
Sec. 7.

Settlements with subcontractors.

Limitation or omission of review.

 (a) Where, in connection with the settlement of any termination claim by a contracting agency, any war contractor makes settlements of the termination claims of his subcontractors, the contracting agency shall limit or omit its review of such settlements with subcontractors to the maximum extent compatible with the public interest. Any contracting agency (1) may approve, ratify, or authorize such settlements with subcontractors upon such evidence, terms, and conditions as it deems proper; (2) shall vary the scope and intensity of its review of such settlements according to the reliability of the war contractor, the size, number, and complexity of such claims, and other

relevant factors; and (3) shall authorize war contractors to make such settlements with subcontractors without review by the contracting agency, whenever the reliability of the war contractor, the amount or nature of the claims, or other reasons appear to the contracting agency to justify such action. Any such settlement of a subcontract approved, ratified, or authorized by a contracting agency shall be final and conclusive as to the amount due to the same extent as a settlement under

After consulting with the contracting agencies concerned, the Director may provide for assigning any war contractor to a contracting agency for such settlement, and such agency shall have authority to settle, on behalf of any other contracting agency, some or all of the termination claims of such war contractor.

 Such additional amounts, if any, as the contracting agency deems necessary to provide the war contractor with adequate interim financing. (5)

Alternative financing.

 In lieu of the costs referred to in clauses (2) and (3) of this subsection, where a detailed ascertainment of such costs is not suitable to the conditions of any war contractor and is apt to cause delay in the obtaining of interim financing by him, that portion of such interim financing shall be equal to an amount not greater than 90 per centum of the estimated costs which are allocable to the terminated part or parts of the war contract or group of war contracts, and are ascertained in accordance with such methods and standards as the Director shall prescribe. (6)

(d)

Penalty for overstatement.

 In case of an overstatement by any war contractor of the amount due on his termination claim or claims in connection with any interim financing under this Act, such contractor shall pay to the United States, as a penalty, an amount equal to 6 per centum of the amount of the overstatement, but the Director may suspend or modify any such penalty if in his opinion the imposition thereof would be inequitable.

[Public Law 400]

Opium and its derivatives.

Proposal for limitation on production.

Whereas for nearly forty years the United States of America has led the fight to destroy the illicit traffic in and nonmedical consumption of opium, as evidenced by its abolishing the opium monopoly system which it inherited in the Philippine Islands; its calling at Shanghai in 1909 the first International Commission to consider the opium problem; its suggesting the calling of the three International Opium Conferences at The Hague in 1912, 1913, 1914; its urging at the International Opium Conference of 1924 and 1925 sponsored by the League of Nations that the only effective way to suppress the demoralizing use of opium and its derivatives (heroin, morphine, and so forth) was to control the source of the evil by limiting the cultivation of the poppy plant to the legitimate medicinal and scientific needs of the world; and its further participation in the Geneva Conference of 1931 to restrict the manufacture and distribution of narcotic drugs; and Whereas the laws of the Chinese Government strictly prohibit the cultivation of the opium poppy and the use of smoking opium in all territory under its control, and the people of China have valiantly resisted the attempts of the invading Japanese militarists to enslave them by encouraging and even compelling the cultivation and use of opium; andWhereas final defeat of Japan will terminate the illicit traffic in narcotics which has been carried on by the Japanese military in all territories they have occupied in the. Far East; and Whereas the British and the Netherlands Governments have recently announced their decision to prohibit the use of opium for smoking and not to reestablish their government monopolies for the sale of smoking opium in the territories formerly controlled by them in the Far East when those territories are freed from Japanese occupation, stating however that the success of their action must in the final analysis depend upon the cooperation of the opium-growing countries; and Whereas because of our military operations in certain other areas in Asia, there are now thousands of young American citizens in countries where opium is cultivated and freely available, and other Americans are on vessels delivering war materials to those countries, which condition constitutes a real threat to the health and welfare of these Americans and affords easy opportunity for the highly profitable smuggling of opium into the United States where its use has been greatly reduced: Therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Elimination of Illicit traffic.

That the Congress express its conviction that this World War ought to be not an occasion for permitting expansion and spreading of illicit traffic in opium, but rather an opportunity for completely eliminating it; and be it further

President requested to urge designated Governments to limit production.

Resolved, That the President be, and he hereby is, requested to approach the Governments of all opium-producing countries throughout the world, urging upon them in the interest of protecting American citizens and those of our allies and of freeing the world of an age-old evil, that they take immediate steps to limit and control the growth of the opium poppy and the production of opium and its58 Stat. 675 derivatives to the amount actually required for strictly medicinal and scientific purposes.

how title to certificate and shares may be transferred Section 1. That title to a certificate and to the shares represented thereby can be transferred only— (a) by delivery of the certificate endorsed either in blank or to a specified person by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby, or (b)

by delivery of the certificate and a separate document containing a written assignment of the certificate or a power of attorney to sell, assign, or transfer the same or the shares represented thereby, signed by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby. Such assignment or power of attorney may be either in blank or to a specific person.

58 Stat. 928

The provisions of this section shall be applicable although the charter or articles of incorporation or code of regulations or bylaws of the corporation issuing the certificate and the certificate itself provide that the shares represented thereby shall be transferable only on the books of the corporation or shall be registered by a registrar or transferred by a transfer agent.
power of those lacking full legal capacity and of fiduciaries not enlarged Sec. 2. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as enlarging the powers of an intent or other person lacking full legal capacity, or of a trustee, executor, or administrator, or other fiduciary, to make a valid endorsement, assignment, or power of attorney.
corporation not forbidden to treat registered holder as owner Sec. 3. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as forbidding a corporation— (a) to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, or (b) to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares.
title derived from certificate extinguishes title derived from a separate document Sec. 4. The title of a transferee of a certificate under a power of attorney or assignment not written upon the certificate, and the title of any person claiming under such transferee, shall cease and determine if, at any time prior to the surrender of the certificate to the corporation issuing it, another person, for value in good faith and without notice of the prior transfer, shall purchase and obtain delivery of such certificate with the endorsement of the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof, or shall purchase and obtain delivery of such certificate and the written assignment or power of attorney of such person, though contained in a separate document.
who may deliver a certificate Sec. 5. The delivery of a certificate to transfer title in accordance with the provisions of section 1 is effectual, except as provided in section 7, though made by one having no right of possession and having no authority from the owner of the certificate or from the person purporting to transfer the title.
endorsement effectual in spite of fraud, duress, mistake, revocation, death, incapacity, or lack of consideration or authority Sec. 6. The endorsement of a certificate by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby is effectual, except as provided in section 7, though the endorser or transferor— (a) was induced by fraud, duress, or mistake, to make the endorsement or delivery; or (b) has revoked the delivery of the certificate or the authority given by the endorsement or delivery of the certificate; or (c) has died or become legally incapacitated after the endorsement, whether before or after the delivery of the certificate; or (d) has received no consideration.
58 Stat. 929
rescission of transfer Sec. 7. If the endorsement or delivery of a certificate— (a) was procured by fraud or duress; or (b)

was made under such mistake as to make the endorsement or delivery inequitable; or

If the delivery of a certificate was made—

 (c) without authority from the owner; or (d) after the owner’s death or legal incapacity, the possession of the certificate may be reclaimed and the transfer thereof rescinded, unless— (1) the certificate has been transferred to a purchaser for value in good faith without notice of any facts making the transfer wrongful; or (2) the injured person has elected to waive the injury or has been guilty of laches in endeavoring to enforce his rights. Any court of appropriate jurisdiction may enforce specifically such right to reclaim the possession of the certificate or to rescind the transfer thereof and, pending litigation, may enjoin the further transfer of the certificate or impound it.
rescission of transfer of certificate does not invalidate subsequent transfer by transferee in possession Sec. 8. Although the transfer of a certificate or of shares represented thereby has been rescinded or set aside, nevertheless, if the transferee has possession of the certificate or of a new certificate representing part or the whole of the same shares of stock, a subsequent transfer of such certificate by the transferee, mediately or immediately, to a purchaser for value in good faith, without notice of any facts making the transfer wrongful, shall give such purchaser an indefeasible right to the certificate and the shares represented thereby.
delivery of unendorsed certicate imposes obligation to endorse Sec. 9. The delivery of a certificate by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof without the endorsement requisite for the transfer of the certificate and the shares represented thereby, but with intent to transfer such certificate or shares, shall impose an obligation, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, upon the person so delivering, to complete the transfer by making the necessary endorsement. The transfer shall take effect as of the time when the endorsement is actually made. This obligation may be specifically enforced.
ineffectual attempt to transfer amounts to a promise to transfer Sec. 10. An attempted transfer of title to a certificate or to the shares represented thereby without delivery of the certificate shall have the effect of a promise to transfer and the obligation, if any, imposed by such promise shall lie determined by the law governing the formation and performance of contracts.
warrants on sale or certificate Sec. 11. A person who for value transfers a certificate, including one who assigns for value a claim secured by a certificate, unless a contrary intention appears, warrants— (a) that the certificate is genuine; (b) that he has a legal right to transfer it; and 58 Stat. 930 (c) that he has no knowledge of any fact which would impair the validity of the certificate. In the case of an assignment of a claim secured by a certificate, the liability of the assignor upon such warranty shall not exceed the amount of the claim.
no warranty implied from accepting payment of a dept Sec. 12. A mortgagee, pledgee, or other holder for security of a certificate who in good faith demands or receives payment of the debt for which such certificate is security, whether from a party to a draft drawn for such debt, or from any other person, shall not by so doing be deemed to represent or to warrant the genuineness of such certificate, or the value of the shares represented thereby.
no attachment or levy upon shares unless certificates surrendered or transfer enjoined Sec. 13. No attachment or levy upon shares of stock for which a certificate is outstanding shall be valid until such certificate be actually seized by the officer making the attachment or levy, or be surrendered to the corporation which issued it, or its transfer by the holder be enjoined. Except where a certificate is lost or destroyed, such corporation shall not be compelled to issue a new certificate for the stock until the old certificate is surrendered to it.
creditor’s remedies to reach certificate Sec. 14. A creditor whose debtor is the owner of a certificate shall be entitled to such aid from courts of appropriate jurisdiction, by injunction and otherwise, in attaching such certificate or in satisfying the claim by means thereof as is allowed at law or in equity, in regard to property which cannot readily be attached or levied upon by ordinary legal process.
there shall be no lien or restriction unless indicated on certificate Sec. 15. There shall be no lien in favor of a corporation upon the shares represented by a certificate issued by such corporation and there shall be no restriction upon the transfer of shares so represented by virtue of any bylaws of such corporation, or otherwise, unless the right of the corporation to such lien or the restriction is stated upon the certificate.
alteration of certificate does not divest title to shares Sec. 16. The alteration of a certificate, whether fraudulent or not and by whomsoever made, shall not deprive the owner of his title to this certificate and the shares originally represented thereby, and the transfer of such a certificate shall convey to the transferee a good title to such certificate and to the shares originally represented thereby.
lost or destroyed certificate Sec. 17.

Where a certificate has been lost or destroyed, a court of competent jurisdiction may order the issue of a new certificate therefor on service of process upon the corporation and on reasonable notice by publication, and in any other way which the court may direct, to all persons interested, and upon satisfactory proof of such loss or destruction and upon the giving of a bond with sufficient surety to58 Stat. 931 be approved by the court to protect the corporation or any person injured by the issue of the new certificate from any liability or expense, which it or they may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding. The court may also in its discretion order the payment of the corporation’s reasonable costs and counsel fees.

The issue of a new certificate under an order of the court as provided in this section shall not relieve the corporation from liability in damages to a person to whom the original certificate has been or shall be transferred for value without notice of the proceedings or of the issuance of the new certificate.
rule for cases not provided for by this Sec. 18. In any case not provided for by this Act, the rules of law and equity, including the law merchant, and in particular the rules relating to the law of principal and agent, executors, administrators, and trustees, and to the effect of fraud, misrepresentation, duress, or coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, or other invalidating cause, shall govern.
interpretation shall give effect Sec. 19. This Act shall be so interpreted and construed as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law of those States which enact it.
definition of endorsement Sec. 20. A certificate is endorsed when an assignment or a power of attorney to sell, assign, or transfer the certificate or the shares represented thereby is written on the certificate and signed by the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner of the shares represented thereby, or when the signature of such person is written without more upon the back of the certificate. In any of such cases a certificate is endorsed though it has not been delivered.
definition of person appearing to be the owner of certificate Sec. 21. The person to whom a certificate was originally issued is the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof, and of the shares represented thereby, until and unless he endorses the certificate to another specified person, and thereupon such other specified person is the person appearing by the certificate to be the owner thereof until and unless he also endorses the certificate to another specified person. Subsequent special endorsements may be made with like effect.

The contract was entered into on July 26, 1940, and was to be performed within three hundred and sixty days thereafter upon a Federal area over which the United States exercised exclusive jurisdiction by virtue of a grant from the Legislature of West Virginia, which reserved to the State only the right of the State to serve process thereon. At the time such contract was entered into the State of West Virginia had no authority to levy or collect from the contractor any State taxes with respect thereto, and in estimating the cost of the work the contractor excluded all State taxes. After such contract had been entered into and partly performed by the contractor, the Congress enacted an Act (Public,

4 U. S. C. §§ 12–18.

Numbered 819, Seventy-sixth Congress), approved October 9, 1940, and effective January 1, 1941, which relaxed the exclusive jurisdiction exercised by the United States over various Federal areas so as to permit the several States to levy and collect from contractors under Government contracts, and others, sales, use, and income taxes, not theretofore collectible by the several States, because of the exclusive jurisdiction exercised by the United States over the Federal area. Acting in pursuance of this Act of Congress the State of West Virginia was enabled to levy and collect from the contractor the sum above referred to as an occupation tax of 2 per centum upon the gross income from the contract received after January 1, 1941.

Flag Day, 1944

May 3, 1944

[No. 2614]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

For many years June 14 has been set aside as Flag Day, observed throughout the Nation as a day of earnest rededication to those high principles of humanity and civilization which constitute the foundations of the Republic.

It is not necessary to recite that the stars and stripes of our flag symbolize the patriotic and loyal unity of one hundred and thirty-five million people in a widely diversified land. Nor is it necessary to dwell on the struggles through which we have marched, under58 Stat. 1135 that flag, to our present great part in the world’s affairs. What we are, and what we do, speak of these things far more eloquently than any words.

Ours is a flag of battles. On the ships of our Navy, in the vanguard of our soldiers and marines, it is carrying liberation and succor into stricken lands. It is carrying our message of promise and freedom into all corners of the world.

Ours is also a flag of peace. Under its protection, men have found refuge from oppression. Under its promise, men have found release from hatreds and prejudice, from exploitation and persecution. It is the flag under which men and women of varied heritage, creed, and race may work and live or, if need be, fight and die together as only free men and women can.

Let us then display our flag proudly, knowing that it symbolizes the strong and constructive ideals—the democratic ideals—which we oppose to the evil of our enemies. Let us display our flag, and the flags of all the United Nations which fight beside us, to symbolize our joint brotherhood, our joint dedication, under God, to the cause of unity and the freedom of men.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President

Observance of June 14, 1944 as Flag Day.

of the United States of America, do hereby ask that on Flag Day, June 14, 1944, the people of our Nation honor especially the members of the armed forces—men and women equally—whose unfaltering devotion to our national ideals has given the Nation’s flag a new and hopeful meaning for those struggling against oppression in lands still held by our enemies.

I direct the officials of the Federal Government and I request the officials of the State and local governments to have our colors displayed on all public buildings on Flag Day, and I urge the people of the United States on that day to fly the American flag from their homes, and to arrange, where feasible, for joint displays of the emblems of the freedom-loving United Nations without whose staunch collaboration we could not have hoped for victory.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the city of Washington this 3rd day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-four, and of the [seal] Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-eighth.

November 1, 1944

[No. 2629]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

In this year of liberation, which has seen so many millions freed from tyrannical rule, it is fitting that we give thanks with special fervor to our Heavenly Father for the mercies we have received individually and as a nation and for the blessings He has restored, through the victories of our arms and those of our Allies, to His children in other lands.

For the preservation of our way of life from the threat of destruction; for the unity of spirit which has kept our Nation strong; for our abiding faith in freedom ; and for the promise of an enduring peace, we should lift up our hearts in thanksgiving.

For the harvest that has sustained us and, in its fullness, brought succor to other peoples; for the bounty of our soil, which has produced the sinews of war for the protection of our liberties; and for a multitude of private blessings, known only in our hearts, we should give united thanks to God.

To the end that we may bear more earnest witness to our gratitude to Almighty God, I suggest a nationwide reading of the Holy Scriptures during the period from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas. Let every man of every creed go to his own version of the Scriptures for a renewed and strengthening contact with those eternal truths and majestic principles which have inspired such measure of true greatness as this nation has achieved.

Thursday, November 23, 1944 proclaimed as Thanksgiving Day.

Dated New Delhi, the 29th September 1942.

Sir,

I enclose a copy of the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act, 1942 which has recently been enacted in the United Kingdom.

Post, p. 1200.

The military authorities of the United States of America in India have long been anxious that similar legislation should be enacted in India which is not included in the territories to which the United Kingdom Act can be applied by Order in Council under section 3 thereof. A draft Ordinance, [11 [Draft ordinance not printed. See Ordinance No. LVII of 1942 as published in the Gazette of India Extraordinary of Oct. 26, 1942, post, p. 1204.]] of which a copy is enclosed has been prepared with a view to give effect to their wishes.

2. You will observe that the United Kingdom Act is expressed to give effect to the Agreement recorded in the Notes exchanged between His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom and the Government of the United States of America, and that those Notes are

57 Stat. 1193.

 set out in a Schedule to the Act. It is felt that the Indian Ordinance should in like manner give effect to an Agreement in the like sense between the Government of India and the Government of the United States of America, and I would propose for your consideration that this letter read with your reply thereto be regarded as constituting an 1199 58 Stat. 1200 Agreement between the two Governments to the arrangements and understandings mutatis mutandis set out in the Note addressed by Mr. Anthony Eden to the American Ambassador in London.

An Act to give effect to an agreement recorded in Notes exchanged between His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom and the Government of the United States of America, relating to jurisdiction over members of the military and naval forces of the United States of America.

[6th August 1942.]

Whereas His Majesty, in exercise of the powers

(2) The foregoing subsection shall not affect any powers of arrest, search, entry, or custody, exercisable under British law with respect to offences committed or believed to have been committed against that law, but where a person against whom proceedings cannot, by virtue of that subsection, be prosecuted before a court of the United Kingdom is in the custody of any authority of the United Kingdom, he shall, in accordance with such general or special directions as may be given by or under the authority of a Secretary of State, the Admiralty, or the Minister for Home Affairs in Northern Ireland, for the purpose of giving effect to any arrangements made by His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom with the Government of the United States of America, be delivered into the custody of such authority of the United States of America as may be provided by the directions, being an authority appearing to the Secretary of State, the Admiralty, or the Minister, as the case may be, to be appropriate having regard to the provisions of any Order in Council for the time being in force under the Act hereinbefore recited and of any orders made thereunder.

(4) Any document purporting to be a certificate issued for the purposes of this section, and to be signed by or on behalf of an authority described as appointed by the Government of the United States of America for the purposes of this section, shall be received in evidence, and shall, unless the contrary is proved, be deemed to be a certificate issued by or on behalf of an authority so appointed. 3.—

Application of Act to colonies.

 (1) His Majesty may by Order in Council direct that the foregoing provisions of this Act shall, subject to such adaptations and modifications as may be specified in the Order, have effect in any colony or in any British protectorate or in any territory in respect of which a mandate on behalf of the League of Nations is being exercised by His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom, in like manner as they have effect in the United Kingdom. (2) An Order in Council under this section may be revoked or varied by a subsequent Order in Council. 4.

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to your note of September 29, 1942 indicating that the Government of India is prepared to enter into an agreement with the Government of the United States giving the American Military authorities in India exclusive jurisdiction over criminal offenses which may be committed in India by members of the American58 Stat. 1203 Forces; and to make the agreement effective by an ordinance, a proposed draft of which was attached to the note.

The Government of the United States agrees that your note and this reply shall constitute an agreement between the two Governments to the arrangements and understandings mutatis mutandi set out in the note of July 27, 1942 addressed by Mr. Anthony Eden to the

Dear Mr. Weightman:

I have sent you under separate cover this morning the formal agreement of the Government of the United States to the proposals contained in your note No. 8491–X/42 of September 29, whereby the American military authorities in India would be given exclusive jurisdiction over criminal offences which may be committed in India by members of those Forces.

I should be glad to know for the information of my Government whether the proposed ordinance would have any application in Indian States. If it will not apply, can you give me an idea as to the status of American troops who might conceivably become involved in in cidents of one sort or another in a native state. As you know, American military personnel are in some cases stationed in native states and there is always the possibility that troops might have to enter or pass through these states in the performance of their duty. Any clari fication of these points which you may be able to give me would be much appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Haselton

Will you please refer to your D.O. letter No. 710/820, dated the 10th October, 1942, enquiring whether the proposed Allied Forces (U.S.A.) Ordinance would have application in the Indian States?

I am desired to say that it is intended that the Ordinance, when promulgated, should be brought to the notice of the Residents in the Indian States, who will be informed that His Excellency the Crown Representative has decided that no Criminal proceedings shall be taken in any State court against any member of the U. S. A. armed forces. For all practical purposes therefore the position will be identical in British India and in the States.

Yours sincerely

My dear Ward.

With reference to your letter of March 18, 1942 [11[Not printed.]] (No. W 2555/247/49), to Shantz concerning the proposed legislation to enlarge the jurisdiction of the United States Courts in certain cases of prize, I wish to inform you that Public Law 704–77th Congress, enacted to

facilitate the disposition of prizes captured by the United States during the present war, and for other purposes, was approved on August 18, 1942. [22[See also proclamation of January 30, 1943 (57 Stat. 729).]] A copy of the Act is enclosed.

This Act, it will be noted, relates only to prizes captured during the present war.

The special prize commissioners which the district courts of the United States are authorized to appoint may exercise abroad the duties which are prescribed by Law for such commissioners and such additional duties as the district courts may confer on them for carrying out the purposes of the Act. The duties of prize commissioners are set out in Title 34 U.S.C. Section 1138 which reads as follows:

“§ 1138. Duties of prize commissioners. The prize commissioners, or one of them, shall receive from the prize master the documents and papers, and inventory thereof, and shall take the affidavit of the prize master required by section 1134 of this title, and shall forthwith take the testimony of the witnesses sent in, separate from each other, on interrogatories prescribed by the court, in the manner usual in prize courts; and the witnesses shall not be permitted to see the interrogatories, documents, or papers, or to consult with counsel, or with any persons interested without special authority from the court; and witnesses who have the rights of neutrals shall be discharged as soon as practicable. The prize commissioners shall also take depositions de bene esse of the prize crew and others, at the request of the district attorney, on interrogatories prescribed by the court. They shall also, as soon as any prize property comes within the district for adjudication, examine the same, and make an inventory thereof, founded 58 Stat. 1208on an actual examination, and report to the court whether any part of it is in a condition requiring immediate sale for the interests of all parties, and notify the district attorney thereof; and if it be necessary to the examination or making of the inventory that the cargo be unladen, they shall apply to the court for an order to the marshal to unlade the same, and shall, from time to time, report to the court anything relating to the condition of the property, or its custody or disposal, which may require any action by the court, but the custody of the property shall be in the marshal only. They shall also seasonably return into court, sealed and secured from inspection, the documents and papers which shall come to their hands, duly scheduled and numbered, and the other preparatory evidence, and the evidence taken de bene esse, and their own inventory of the prize property; and if the captured vessel, or any of its cargo or stores, are such as in their judgment may be useful to the United States in war, they shall report the same to the Secretary of the Navy.”

Upon the receipt from your Government of the consent required by

56 Stat. 746, 747.

50 U. S. C., Supp. III, app. §§ 823, 827.

Section 3 of the Act, the Government of the United States will take appropriate measures in accordance with Section 7 of the Act to confer reciprocal privileges with respect to prizes upon your Government.

Your Excellency,

At the request of the United States Government, consideration has been given by His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom to the position in regard to prizes taken by United States naval forces in foreign waters far removed from a United States port and taken into a British port. 2. I have the honour to inform you that His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom have taken note that Section 1 of Public Law

56 Stat. 746.

50 U. S. C., Supp. III, app. § 821.

Ante, p. 678.

704–77th Congress, which relates only to prizes captured during the present war provides that:—

“the district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all prizes

“captured during the present war on the high seas if said capture

“was made by authority of the United States or was adopted and

“ratified by the President of the United States and the prize was 58 Stat. 1209

“brought into the territorial waters of a cobelligerent or was taken

“or appropriated for the use of the United States on the high seas

“or in such territorial waters, including jurisdiction of all proceedings for the condemnation of such property taken as prize”.

 3. His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom have also taken note that Section 3 of the same Law provides that:—

56 Stat. 746.

50 U. S. C., Supp. III, app. § 823.

“the jurisdiction of prizes brought into the territorial waters of a

“cobelligerent shall not be exercised under authority of this Act,

“nor shall prizes be taken or appropriated within such territorial

“waters for the use of the United States, unless the government

“having jurisdiction over such territorial waters consents to the

“exercise of such jurisdiction or to such taking or appropriation.”

 4. I should be grateful if Your Excellency would be so kind as to acquaint your government that His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom hereby give the consent referred to in Section 3 above quoted in respect of the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone. 5. His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom have been glad to observe that the government of the United States is ready to take appropriate measures, in accordance with Section 7 of the Act,

for other purposes, was approved on August 18, 1942. [22[See also proclamation of September 27, 1943 (57 Stat. 751).]] A copy of the Act is enclosed.

It will be perceived from section 3 of the Act that jurisdiction of prizes brought into the territorial waters of a cobelligerent shall not be exercised under the authority of the Act, nor shall prizes be taken or appropriated within such territorial waters for the use of the United States, unless the Government having jurisdiction over such territorial waters consents thereto. It is therefore suggested that your Government notify me of its consent to the exercise of such authority within its territorial waters as well as of its acquiescence in the exercise in Canada by special prize commissioners of the duties prescribed for them in cases arising under the Act referred to. In this connection your attention is called to section 5 of the Act. It will be noted therefrom that the district courts of the United States may confer on such special commissioners such powers and duties, in addition to those already prescribed for prize commissioners, as may be deemed necessary or proper for carrying out the purposes of the Act. The duties of prize commissioners are set out in Title 34, U.S.C., Section 1138, which reads as follows:

“§1138. Duties of prize commissioners. The prize commissioners, or one of them, shall receive from the prize master the 58 Stat. 1211documents and papers, and inventory thereof, and shall take the affidavit of the prize master required by section 1134 of this title, and shall forthwith take the testimony of the witnesses sent in, separate from each other, on interrogatories prescribed by the court, in the manner usual in prize courts; and the witnesses shall not be permitted to see the interrogatories, documents, or papers, or to consult with counsel, or with any persons interested without special authority from the court; and witnesses who have the rights of neutrals shall be discharged as soon as practicable. The prize commissioners shall also take depositions de bene esse of the prize crew and others, at the request of the district attorney, on interrogatories prescribed by the court. They shall also, as soon as any prize property comes within the district for adjudication, examine the same, and make an inventory thereof, founded on an actual examination, and report to the court whether any part of it is in a condition requiring immediate sale for the interests of all parties, and notify the district attorney thereof; and if it be necessary to the examination or making of the inventory that the cargo be unladen, they shall apply to the court for an order to the marshal to unlade the same, and shall, from time to time, report to the court anything relating to the condition of the property, or its custody or disposal, which may require any action by the court, but the custody of the property shall be in the marshal only. They shall also seasonably return into court, sealed and secured from inspection, the documents and papers which shall come to their hands, duly scheduled and numbered, and the other preparatory evidence, and the evidence taken de bene esse, and their own inventory of the prize property; and if the captured vessel, or any of its cargo or stores, are such as in their judgment may be useful to the United States in war, they shall report the same to the Secretary of the Navy.”

Upon the receipt from the Canadian Government of the consent required by section 3 of the Act, this Government will take appropriate

56 Stat. 746, 747.

50 U. S. C., Supp. III, app. §§ 823, 827.

measures in accordance with section 7 of the Act to confer reciprocal privileges with respect to prizes upon the Canadian Government.

It is understood that in view of this action on the part of the Government

His Excellency

The Governor General in Council:

Whereas the Minister of National Defence for Naval Service reports: (a) That by United States of America Public Law 704, 77th Congress entitled “An Act to Facilitate the Disposition of Prizes Captured by the United States during the Present War, and

56 Stat. 746.

for Other Purposes”, the District Courts of the said United States are given original jurisdiction of all prizes captured during the present war on the high seas if said capture is made by authority of the said United States or is adopted and ratified by the President thereof and the prize is brought into the territorial waters of a cobelligerent or is taken or appro58 Stat. 1213priated for the use of the United States on the high seas or in such territorial waters, including jurisdiction of all proceedings for the condemnation of such property taken as a prize. (b) Section 3 of the said Act provides that the said jurisdiction of prizes brought into the territorial waters of a cobelligerent shall not be exercised, nor shall prizes be taken or appropriated within such territorial waters for the use of the said United States unless the Government having jurisdiction over such territorial waters consents to the exercise of such jurisdiction or to such taking or appropriation. (c) Section 7 of the said Act provides that a cobelligerent, which consents to the exercise of the said jurisdiction with respect to prizes of the said United States brought into its territorial waters and to the taking or appropriation of such prizes within its territorial waters for the use of the said United States, shall be accorded, upon Proclamation by the President, like privileges with respect to prizes captured under authority of such cobelligerent and brought into the territorial waters of the said United States or taken or appropriated in such territorial waters for the use of such cobelligerent and that reciprocal recognition and full faith and credit shall be given to the jurisdiction acquired by Courts of a cobelligerent thereunder and to all proceedings had or judgments rendered in the exercise of such jurisdiction. (d) The Government of the United Kingdom, a cobelligerent, has consented to the exercise of this jurisdiction with respect to prizes of the United States of America brought in, taken or appropriated within the territorial waters of the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone and the United States Government by a proclamation of the President of the United States dated 30th January, 1943, has accorded the United Kingdom Government like privileges with respect to the prizes captured under the authority of the said Government and brought in, taken or appropriated in the territorial waters of the said United States. (e) By Order in Council P.C. 2489 of September 5th, 1939, the Ex chequer Court of Canada on its Admiralty side is constituted and established a Prize Court and is thereby authorized and required to take cognizance of and judicially proceed upon all and all manner of captures, seizures, prizes and reprisals of all ships, vessels and goods. (f) It is expedient and desirable, in view of the close coordination of effort in respect of maritime warfare that exists between the United States of America and Canada that the Dominion of Canada should enter into a reciprocal arrangement with the said United States regarding jurisdiction of all prizes brought into the territorial waters of the other or taken or appropriated for their use in such territorial waters. (g) 58 Stat. 1214The Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs reports that the Secretary of State of the United States has given assurance that, upon receipt of the consent of the Government of Canada, as required by Sec. 3 of the Act above referred to, the said United States will take appropriate measures in accordance with Sec. 7 of the said Act to confer reciprocal privileges with respect to prizes upon the Government of Canada. (h) The Chief of Naval Staff and the Deputy Minister for Naval Services report that it would tend to the best interests of the Naval Service if such a reciprocal arrangement were entered into. 2.

Consent of Canada to U. S. jurisdiction.

 Therefore, His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of National Defence for Naval Services, concurred in by the Secretary of State for External Affairs and under and by virtue of the War Measures Act, Chapter 206 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute, order or regulation, is pleased to consent to and doth hereby consent to and authorize the exercise of original jurisdiction by the District Courts of the United States of America of all prizes captured during the present war on the high seas if said capture was made by authority of the said United States or was adopted and ratified by the President of the said United States and the prize was brought into the territorial waters of Canada or was taken or appropriated for the use of the said United States on the high seas or in such territorial waters including the jurisdiction of all proceedings for the condemnation of such property taken as prize.

The Secretary of State to the Belgian Ambassador

March 31, 1943.

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to the Department’s note of March 12, 1943 [11[Not printed.]] concerning an agreement between the United States and Belgium relating to the jurisdiction of American Service courts over members of the armed forces of the United States in the Belgian Congo.

It is the desire of the Government of the United States that the

Jurisdiction of U. S. Service courts in Belgian Congo.

Service courts and authorities of its military and naval forces shall, during the continuance of the present conflict, exercise exclusive jurisdiction over criminal offenses which may be committed in the Belgian Congo by members of such forces.

If cases arise in which for special reasons the Service authorities of

Belgian jurisdiction in certain cases.

this Government may prefer not to exercise the above jurisdiction, it is proposed that in any such case a written statement to that effect shall be sent to the Belgian Government through diplomatic channels, in which event it would be open to the Belgian authorities to assume jurisdiction.

Assurance is given that the Service courts and authorities of the

Assurance of U. S. action in criminal offenses.

United States forces in the Belgian Congo will be willing and able to try and on conviction to punish all criminal offenses which members of the United States forces may be alleged on sufficient evidence to have committed in the Belgian Congo, and that the United States authorities will be willing in principle to investigate and deal appropriately with any alleged criminal offenses committed by such forces in the Belgian Congo which may be brought to their attention by the competent Belgian authorities or which the United States authorities may find have taken place.

In so far as may be compatible with military security, the Service

Trial in open court, etc.

authorities of the United States will conduct the trial of any member of the United States forces for an offense against a member of the civilian population promptly in open court and within a reasonable distance from the place where the offense is alleged to have been committed so that witnesses may not be required to travel great distances to attend the trial.

58 Stat. 1216

Mutual assistance in preliminary action.

The competent American authorities will be prepared to cooperate with the authorities of the Belgian Congo in setting up a satisfactory procedure for affording such mutual assistance as may be required in making investigations and collecting evidence with respect to offenses alleged to have been committed by members of the armed forces of the United States. As a general rule it would probably be desirable that preliminary action be taken by the authorities of the Belgian Congo on behalf of the American authorities where the witnesses or other persons from whom it is desired to obtain testimony are not members of the United States forces. In the prosecution in the courts of the Belgian Congo of persons who are not members of the United States forces but where members of such forces are in any way concerned, the Service authorities of the United States will be glad to render such assistance as is possible in obtaining testimony of members of such forces or in making appropriate investigations.

Period of operation.

It is proposed that the foregoing arrangement shall be in effect during the present war and for a period of six months thereafter.

If the above arrangement is acceptable to the Belgian Government, this note and the reply thereto accepting the provisions outlined shall be regarded as placing on record the understanding between our two Governments.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to Your Excellency’s letter of March 31st, concerning an agreement between the United States and Belgium relating to the jurisdiction of American Service courts over members of the armed forces of the United States in the Belgian Congo.

The Belgian Government assumes that in this arrangement the words “criminal offenses” include all criminal offenses within the law of the Belgian Congo. My Government also assumes that this arrangement provides only for the punishment of criminal offenses and that all actions (actions civiles) involving the collection of damages for injury which may be caused by such offenses will remain within the province of the courts of the Belgian Congo.

58 Stat. 1217

If this interpretation meets with the approval of Your Excellency, the Belgian Government suggests that the two points indicated above be specified in the arrangement.

I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration.

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to your note no. 2689 of May 27, 1943 with further reference to jurisdiction of American Service courts over members of the armed forces of the United States in the Belgian Congo.

The words “criminal offenses” in the proposed agreement were

“Criminal of fenses.”

intended to include all such offenses committed in the Belgian Congo. Of course military courts of the United States cannot apply the law of the Belgian Congo as such. It is assumed however that offenses under that law would also be offenses under the law of the United States. In this connection it may be pointed out that courts-martial

Common law offenses.

 of the United States have jurisdiction over common law offenses as will be indicated by the following provisions of the Articles of War (Act of June 4, 1920, 41 Stat. 787):

Article 92:

“Any person subject to military law who commits murder or

41 Stat. 805.

10 U. S. C. § 1564.

rape shall suffer death or imprisonment for life, as a court-martial may direct; but no person shall be tried by court-martial for murder or rape committed within the geographical limits of the States of the Union and the District of Columbia in time of peace.”
Article 93 states:

41 Stat. 805.

10 U. S. C. § 1565.

“Any person subject to military law who commits manslaughter, mayhem, arson, burglary, housebreaking, robbery, larceny, embezzlement, perjury, forgery, sodomy, assault with intent to commit any felony, assault with intent to do bodily harm with a dangerous weapon, instrument, or other thing, or assault with intent to do bodily harm, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

 58 Stat. 1218
Article 96 provides:

41 Stat. 806.

10 U. S. C. § 1568.

“Though not mentioned in these articles, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the military service, and all crimes or offenses not capital, of which persons subject to military law may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general or special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and punished at the discretion of such court.”

Offenses in violation of local laws.

41 Stat. 805, 806.

10 U. S. C. §§ 1564, 1565, 1568.

Offenses against local laws not specifically mentioned in Articles 92 and 93 of the Articles of War may be adequately punished under Article 96 as offenses of a nature to bring discredit upon the military service. It is believed that this matter is adequately covered by the fourth paragraph of my note of March 31, 1943 which gives assurance that the service courts and authorities of the United States will be willing and able to try and punish all criminal offenses which members of such forces may commit in the Belgian Congo.

The Belgian Government is correct in its assumption that the proposed arrangement is intended to cover only offenses of a criminal nature. Should experience indicate the necessity of special arrangements concerning civil cases the matter will then be taken up with

Payment of claims arising from acts of U.S. armed forces.

you. However, in connection with actions for damages on account of injuries to persons or property by members of the armed forces of the United States in the Belgian Congo it may be stated that the military authorities of the United States are empowered to set up military claims commissions to consider such cases in foreign countries. Claims in amounts up to $5,000 may be adjudicated and paid by the military authorities. Claims in excess of that amount may be recommended to Congress for payment by the Secretaries of War or Navy. Should the necessity be apparent such commissions will, no doubt, be provided for in the Belgian Congo.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

No. 101

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to your note No. 157 of December 10, 1943, [11[Not printed.]]concerning the desirability of having a study made by the International Joint Commission with respect to the Upper Columbia River Basin from the points of view of navigation, power development, irrigation, flood control, and other beneficial public uses and purposes.

As the result of informal exchanges of views on this subject I have been directed to bring the following suggested reference to the Commission to your attention with the request that I be informed whether it is acceptable to the Government of Canada:

“1. In order to determine whether a greater use than is now being made of the waters of the Columbia River system would be feasible and advantageous, the Governments of the United States and Canada have agreed to refer the matter to the International Joint Commission for investigation and report pursuant to Article IX of the Convention concerning Boundary Waters between the United States and Canada, signed January 11th,

36 Stat. 2432.

1909. “2. It is desired that the Commission shall determine whether in its judgment further development of the water resources of the river basin would be practicable and in the public interest from the points of view of the two Governments, having in mind (A) domestic water supply and sanitation, (B) navigation, (C) efficient development of water power, (D) the control of floods, (E) the needs of irrigation, (F) reclamation of wet lands, (G) conservation of fish and wildlife, and (H) other beneficial public purposes. “3. In the event that the Commission should find that further works or projects would be feasible and desirable for one or more of the purposes indicated above, it should indicate how the interests on either side of the boundary would be benefited or adversely affected thereby, and should estimate the costs of such works or projects, including indemnification for damage to public and private property and the costs of any remedial works that 58 Stat. 1237may be found to be necessary, and should indicate how the costs of any projects and the amounts of any resulting damage should be apportioned between the two Governments. “4. The Commission should also investigate and report on existing dams, hydro-electric plants, navigation works, and other works or projects located within the Columbia River system in so far as such investigation and report may be germane to the subject under consideration. “5. In the conduct of its investigation and otherwise in the performance of its duties under this reference, the Commission may utilize the services of engineers and other specially qualified personnel of the technical agencies of Canada and the United States and will so far as possible make use of information and technical data heretofore acquired by such technical agencies or which may become available during the course of the investigation, thus avoiding duplication of effort and unnecessary expense.”

If the proposed reference is acceptable to your Government I should appreciate being informed, and this note together with your reply would be regarded as an agreement between our two Governments on the terms of reference.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Ray Atherton.

I have the honour to refer to your note No. 101 dated February 25, 1944, in which you brought to the attention of the Canadian Government the terms of a reference to the International Joint Commission with respect to the Upper Columbia River Basin.

The proposed reference is acceptable to the Canadian Government and your note, together with this reply, may be regarded as an agreement between our two Governments on the terms of reference.

Legation of the

Dear Mr. Robertson:

Broadcasting stations in North west Command.

I understand that the Northwest Service Command, United States Army, feels a need for small broadcasting stations at several isolated garrisons in the Northwest Command. These stations would be similar to those established at various posts in Alaska and in the United Kingdom which are supplied with non-commercial entertainment program material by the Special Service Division, Army Service Forces.

Although there would be no aspect of competition with the Canadian Broadcasting System due to the isolated locations, a special problem has arisen in complying with Canadian laws and policies. As the stations would be operated by military personnel under the direct control of the local commanding officer, effective supervision of the

Proposed draft of authorization.

operation could be exercised only through military channels. In order to ensure compliance with Canadian laws and to assure that the stations would be operated in such a manner as to serve the local populace in strict accordance with the desires of the appropriate Canadian authorities, a proposed draft of authorization which would be issued by the Secretary of War if the Canadian Government were to approve the proposal, is enclosed herewith. I have been directed to bring this matter to your attention with the request that the Canadian Government approve the installations as outlined in the enclosure hereto. At the same time I have been directed to say that any stations placed in operation under the authority, if granted, would be closed at any time on the request of the Canadian Government and, in any event, upon the removal of the garrison or the establishment of regular broadcasting facilities. In addition, the United States War Department has said that it would be immediately responsive to the desires of the Canadian Government in any questions arising out of the operation of the proposed stations.

I understand informally that this desire of the Northwest Service Command has been made known to you through Brigadier General W. W. Foster, and that the War Committee of the Cabinet has approved it in principle. If there is any further information you desire in order to reach a final decision in this matter, I should appreciate being informed.

Yours sincerely,

Lewis Clark Charge d’Affaires ad interim, 58 Stat. 1239

(c) Every assistance will be rendered Canadian Government authorities in the provision of wire circuits and other facilities which may be required for the delivery of news or other programs desired by them. (d) A diligent and continuing survey of public reaction to programs will be maintained to the end that no criticism of any character will be permitted to develop.

Any or all necessary changes in the foregoing particulars shall be dealt with through the same channel; (8) that the stations will be dealt with after the war in accordance with the exchange of notes of January 27, 1943,

 between Canada and the United States, covering post-war disposition of United States defence facilities in Canada. (9) that any land or leasehold required by the United States Government as sites for the stations shall be acquired by the Canadian Government in its name, and shall be made available to the United States Government without charge.

I trust that the foregoing arrangements will be acceptable to the United States Government.

Mr. Secretary of State,

The attention of His Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has been invited to the Act of Congress of the United

55 Stat. 732.

17 U. S. C., Supp. III, § 8.

States of America approved 25th September, 1941, which provides for extending, on a reciprocal basis, the time for the fulfilment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by the copyright laws of the United States in the case of authors or proprietors of works first produced or published abroad who are temporarily unable to comply with those conditions and formalities because of the disruption or suspension of the facilities essential for their compliance.

By direction of Mr. Eden, I write to inform you that, by reason of the existing emergency, British authors and copyright proprietors of certain of His Majesty’s dominions, colonies and possessions and citizens of Palestine (excluding Trans-Jordan) do at present lack, and since the outbreak of the war between the United Kingdom and Germany on September 3rd, 1939, have lacked the facilities essential to compliance with and to the fulfilment of the conditions and formalities established by the laws of the United States relating to copyright.

It is the desire of His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom that, in accordance with the procedure provided in the said Act of September 25th, 1941, the time for fulfilling the conditions and formalities of the copyright laws of the United States be extended for the benefit of (1) British nationals of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of the British territories named in the annexed list, and (2) citizens of Palestine (excluding Trans-Jordan), whose works are eligible to copyright in the United States.

With a view to assuring the Government of the United States of America of reciprocal protection for authors and proprietors of the United States, His Majesty the King has made an Order in Council, the text of which is annexed hereto, which will come into effect from the date on which the President of the United States shall proclaim, in accordance with the said Act of September 25th, 1941 that by reason of the existing emergency, British nationals of the United 58 Stat. 1243Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of the British territories named in the annexed list, and citizens of Palestine (excluding Trans-Jordan), who are authors or copyright owners of works first produced or published outside the United States and now subject to copyright, ad interim copyright or renewal of copyright under the laws of the United States, are at present and since the outbreak of war between the United Kingdom and Germany on September 3rd, 1939, have been temporarily unable to comply with the conditions and formalities prescribed with respect to such works by the copyright laws of the United States.

His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom are prepared if this proposal is acceptable to the Government of the United States of America, to regard the present note and Your Excellency’s reply to the same effect as constituting an agreement between the two Gov ernments, which shall take effect this day.

 Whereas by reason of conditions arising out of the war difficulties have been experienced by citizens of the United States of America in complying with the requirements of the Copyright Act, 1911 (a) as to first publication within the parts of His Majesty’s dominions to which the Act extends of their works first published in the United States of America during the war: And whereas His Majesty is advised that the Government of the United States of America has undertaken to grant such extension of time as may be deemed appropriate for the fulfilment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by the laws of the United States with respect to the works of British subjects first produced or published outside the United States and subject to copyright or to renewal of copyright under the laws of the United States including works subject to ad interim copyright: And whereas by reason of the said undertaking of the Government of the United States of America His Majesty is satisfied that the said Government has made, or has undertaken to make, such provision as it is expedient to require for the protection of works first made or (a)1 & 2 Geo. 5. c. 46. 58 Stat. 1245published during the period commencing on the 3rd day of September, 1939, and ending one year after the termination of the present war within the parts of His Majesty’s dominions to which this Order applies and entitles to copyright under Part I of the Copyright Act, 1911: And whereas by the Copyright Act, 1911, authority is conferred upon His Majesty to extend, by Order in Council, the protection of the said Act to certain classes of foreign works within any part of His Majesty’s dominions, other than the self-governing Dominions, to which the Act extends: And whereas by reason of these premises it is desirable to provide protection within the parts of His Majesty’s dominions to which this Order applies for literary or artistic works first published in the United States of America during the period commencing on the 3rd day of September, 1939, and ending one year after the termination of the present war which have failed to accomplish the formalities prescribed by the Copyright Act, 1911, by reason of conditions arising out of the war: Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, and by virtue of the authority conferred upon Him by the Copyright Act, 1911, and of all other powers enabling Him in that behalf, is pleased to direct and doth hereby direct as follows:— 1.

The Copyright Act, 1911, shall, subject to the provisions of the said Act and of this Order, apply to works first published in the United States of America during the period commencing on the 3rd day of September, 1939, and ending one year after the termination of the present war, which have not been republished in the parts of His Majesty’s dominions to which this Order applies within fourteen days of the publication in the United States of America, in like manner as if they had been first published within the parts of His Majesty’s dominions to which the said Act extends:

Provided that the enjoyment by any such work of the rights conferred by the Copyright Act, 1911, shall be conditional upon publication of the work within the parts of His Majesty’s dominions to which this Order relates not later than one year after the termination of the present war, and shall commence from and after such publication, which shall not be colourable only, but shall be intended to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the public.

 2. The provisions of Section 15 of the Copyright Act, 1911, as to the delivery of books to libraries, shall apply to works to which this Order relates upon their publication in the United Kingdom. 3. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as depriving any work of any rights which have been lawfully acquired under the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1911, or any Order in Council thereunder. 4. Where any person has, before the commencement of this Order taken any action whereby he has incurred any expenditure or liability in connection with the reproduction or performance of any work which at the time was lawful, or for the purpose of or with a view to the reproduction or performance of a work at a time when such reproduc58 Stat. 1246tion or performance would, but for the making of this Order, have been lawful, nothing in this Order shall diminish or prejudice any rights or interest arising from or in connexion with such action which were subsisting and valuable at the said date, unless the person who by virtue of this Order becomes entitled to restrain such reproduction or performance agrees to pay such compensation as, failing agreement, may be determined by arbitration. 5. The Interpretation Act, 1889 (a(a) 52 & 53 Vict. c. 63), shall apply to the interpretation of this Order as if it were an Act of Parliament. 6. This Order may be cited as the Copyright (United States of America) Order, 1942. 7.

In reply to Your Excellency’s note dated February 18, 1944 referring; to the renewal of the Agreement signed by the Governments of Peru

54 Stat. 2355.

and the United States of America on July 31, 1940 providing for the assignment of a United States Naval Aviation Mission to Peru, I am pleased to inform Your Excellency that the Peruvian Government. has taken note that this renewal is agreeable to the United States: Government and that it agrees to include the additional article suggested in Your Excellency’s note with the following ammendment: “during the present war emergency”. In consequence the said article would read as thus:

“The members of this Mission are permitted and may be authorized to represent the United States of America on any commission and in any other capacity having to do with military cooperation or hemispheric defense without prejudice to this Agreement, during the present war emergency”.

The Peruvian Government also suggests that the period of the said Mission would be for two years instead of four years from the date of the signing of the Agreement and that the following wording would 58 Stat. 1251be added to Article II of the Agreement: “Any member of the Mission may be recalled by the Government of the United States after the expiration of two years of service during peace time and at any moment during war time. In which case another member shall be furnished to replace him”. According to a recent act approved by the Congress of Peru the Ministry of Aeronautics has been established and it will be appreciated if the title of Ministry of Marine and Aviation be changed to Ministry of Aeronautics in every instance that it appears in the Agreement.

Governments of the United States of America and the Republic of Peru, providing for the assignment of a United States Naval Aviation Mission to Peru.

I note that the proposed additional article to the basic Agreement, as set forth in my note of February 18, 1944, is acceptable to your Government provided it is amended by adding the following words “during the present war emergency”. It is also noted that the Government of Peru desires that the Agreement be extended only for a period of two years and that the following language be added to Title I Article 2 of the basic Agreement:

“Any member of the Mission may be recalled by the Government of the United States after the expiration of two years of service during peace time and at any moment during war time, in which case another member shall be furnished to replace him.”

It is inferred, and is the understanding of this Government, that the Peruvian Government’s request contemplates also that in the same way the title “Minister of Marine and Aviation” shall be changed to “Minister of Aeronautics”.

I am pleased to inform you that the proposed changes are acceptable

I have the honor to refer to recent conversations held in Washington between the Special Representative of the Dominican Government, Sr. Manuel de Moya, and representatives of the interested agencies of my government, regarding the purchase by the Government of the United States of the exportable surpluses of a number of Dominican food products.

I enclose herewith a “Memorandum of Understanding” dated November 1, 1943 containing a statement of the agreements which were arrived at as a result of the above-mentioned conversations. For purposes of clarification, I am instructed to point out it is the understanding of my Government that paragraph 8 (a) of the Memorandum

means that the Commodity Credit Corporation or its nominee is guaranteed the entire exportable surplus of live cattle and that no frozen or prepared beef may be exported in any month until the Commodity Credit Corporation or its nominee has received in that month 1000 head in live form. If the Dominican Government concurs in this understanding, I should appreciate confirmation of such concurrence.

I also desire to invite Your Excellency’s attention to paragraph number 3 of the “Memorandum of Understanding”, which provides

Post, p. 1274.

that, upon the exchange of notes, adequate publicity to the contents thereof will be given simultaneously in the United States and in the Dominican Republic.

This information is desired in order that public announcement may be made simultaneously in the United States and the Dominican Republic.

Export permits for these perishables will be granted only to Commodity Credit Corporation or its nominee, except when a written offer of the foodstuff has been made to Commodity Credit Corporation, or its nominee, and a written non-acceptance of the offer is received by the offeror from Commodity Credit Corporation, or when the offeror fails to receive any reply within ten days of its submission.

Señor Embajador:

Tengo la honra de acusar recibo de la atenta nota de fecha 17 de diciembre de 1943, por la cual Vuestra Excelencia se sirve referirse a las conversaciones sostenidas en Washington entre el Representante Especial del Gobierno Dominicano, Señor Manuel de Moya, de una parte, y los Representantes de los organismos interesados del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, de otra parte, sobre la compra por 58 Stat. 1280Vuestro Gobierno de los excedentes exportables de determinados productos alimenticios.

Adjunto a la citada nota Vuestra Excelencia se sirve remitir un “Memorandum de Acuerdo” que contiene las estipulaciones que fueron fijadas como resultado de las referidas conversaciones, cuyo texto dice así:

“1. – El día 10 de septiembre, 1943, se entregó al señor Manuel de Moya en Santiago, R. D., un memorandum preparado por los señores Samuel Herman, de la Foreign Economic Administration; Robert J. McArdle, de la Commodity Credit Corporation y Don Catlett, de la Embajada Americana en la República Dominicana, para ser sometido al Presidente de la República. Señalaba este memorandum el interés que tenía la Commodity Credit Corporation de entrar en negociaciones con el Gobierno Dominicano para la compra, para exportación, de los excedentes exportables de ciertos productos agrícolas dominicanos, indicados, hasta el primero de julio de 1945. Por consiguiente, el Presidente Trujillo designó al señor de Moya para concertar las referidas negociaciones en nombre de la República Dominicana. Las negociaciones tuvieron lugar en Washington, D. C., el 27 de septiembre de 1943. “2. – Este memorandum de Acuerdo sintetiza lo que se ha convenido en las negociaciones de Washington. Está firmado oficialmente por el señor de Moya en nombre de la República Dominicana y por los funcionarios competentes respectivos a nombre de la Foreign Economic Administration, del Departamento de Estado y de la Commodity Credit Corporation. Los acuerdos aquí referidos serán incorporados en las notas que deben ser canjeadas, tan pronto sea posible, entre el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos y el Gobierno de la República Dominicana en Ciudad Trujillo, R. D. “3. – Después del canje de dichas notas, se dará publicidad apropiada a su contenido, simultáneamente, en los Estados Unidos y en la República Dominicana. “4. – El 10 de junio, 1943, la Cancillería Dominicana trasmitió su nota No. 11549, aceptando el memorandum de Acuerdo del 20 de mayo de 1943, por el cual la República Dominicana se comprometía a vender a la Commodity Credit Corporation todos sus excedentes exportables de arroz, maíz y tortas (harina) de maní hasta el primero de julio de 1945. En cuanto a ese Acuerdo, se entiende también que: a) Como la Commodity Credit Corporation es el comprador exclusivo para la exportación de los citados productos, el Gobierno Dominicano no exigirá permisos de exportación a los traficantes dominicanos que vendan a la Commodity Credit Corporation. b) En las notas que serán canjeadas se estipulará una “tarifa” detallada o componentes de los precios que la Commodity Credit Corporation pagará por el arroz y el maíz, estipulándose específicamente el precio que se pagará a los campesinos o productores. Cada tarifa será promulgada oficialmente en la República Dominicana y será publicada en toda la República por el Secretario de Estado de Agricultura, En cuanto al maiz, esto no afecta el compromiso contraído 58 Stat. 1281el 10 de septiembre por el señor de Moya de gestionar la inmediata publicación por el Secretario de Estado de Agricultura, de la tarifa de maiz adoptada en Santiago. c) Durante la vigencia del Acuerdo, la República Dominicana no aumentará los derechos de exportación u otros impuestos y gastos de cualquier naturaleza aplicables a los embarques de arroz, maiz y harina de maní. d) La Commodity Credit Corporation o sus representantes harán sus compras de maiz y harina de maní por conducto de uno o más, de cuatro intermediarios, dos de los cuales serán nombrados por ella misma, siendo los otros dos designados por el Gobierno Dominicano. La Commodity Credit Corporation, sus representantes o intermediarios tendrán entera libertad de comprar en cualquier región de la República Dominicana. e) En cuanto al arroz, la Commodity Credit Corporation o su representante, comprará de los exportadores calificados de acuerdo con la legislación aplicable del Gobierno Dominicano. Esto no impedirá que la Commodity Credit Corporation y el Gobierno de la República Dominicana discutan entre sí otro procedimiento de compra en caso de que el método convenido resulte inadecuado o inconveniente. “5. – La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, se compromete a comprar, hasta Julio 1, 1945, la totalidad del excedente exportable de maní descascarado, producido en la República Dominicana, sobre la base siguiente: La Commodity Credit Corporation pagará $6.75, moneda corriente de los Estados Unidos, por 100 libras de maní descascarado f.a.s. (libre al costado del buque), o en almacén designado por la Commodity Credit Corporation, peso de embarque oficial final en Ciudad Trujillo, R. D. El maní descascarado debe ser entregado en sacos utilizables, en buena condición, cuyo costo está incluido en el precio. El maní se aceptará sujeto a inspección de un representante aprobado de la Commodity Credit Corporation, debiendo reunir las condiciones del Tipo U.S.I. de maní rojo español. a) Unicamente se considerará excedente exportable la cantidad de maní descascarado que sobrepase a la capacidad extractora de los molinos de aceite de maní en la República Dominicana dedicados a cu brir las necesidades del país. “6. – La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, se compromete a comprar, hasta Julio 1, 1945, la totalidad del excedente exportable de frijoles rojos “riñón” producidos en la República Dominicana, sobre la base siguiente: La Commodity Credit Corporation pagará $5.25, moneda corriente de los Estados Unidos, por 100 libras de frijoles, libre al costado del buque, o en almacén designado por la Commodity Credit Corporation, peso de embarque oficial final en Monte Cristi, Puerto Plata, Sánchez, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana o Ciudad Trujillo, R. D. El puerto de entrega será el que indique la Commodity Credit Corporation. Los frijoles deben ser entregados en sacos utilizables, en buena condición, cuyo costo estará incluido en el precio. Se aceptarán los frijoles que estén sanos, comerciables y que reunan las normas del Tipo U.S.I. 58 Stat. 1282 a) La Commodity Credit Corporation dispondrá la obtención, y la venta al Gobierno Dominicano, de una cantidad convenida de semilla de frijol rojo “riñón” que fomente la producción de la variedad que la Commodity Credit Corporation se ha comprometido a comprar. La Foreign Economic Administration se empeñará en facilitar, por todos los medios prácticos, el fomento de un exceso de producción de frijoles rojos “riñón”. “7. – La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, se compromete a comprar, hasta el 1 de Julio, 1945, mantequilla, huevos, legumbres frescas y frutas, producidos en la República Dominicana, bajo las condiciones siguientes: La Commodity Credit Corporation desea poder comprar cantidades considerables de los citados productos perecederos. Como el espacio para embarques refrigerados es el factor decisivo y por el momento no pueden preverse los requerimientos, se entiende que la República Dominicana concederá a la Commodity Credit Corporation primera opción sobre toda la mantequilla, todos los huevos, legumbres frescas y frutas que ofrezcan los vendedores para la exportación. Los permisos de exportación para estos productos se concederán solamente a la Commodity Credit Corporation o a su apoderado, excepto en caso que se haya hecho una oferta escrita a la Commodity Credit Corporation o a su apoderado y fuere rehusada por escrito, o no sea contestada dentro de los 10 días después de haber sido sometida. a) Siempre que la Commodity Credit Corporation o su apoderado, pueda determinar de antemano sus requerimientos para un período de 6 meses, hará publicar en la República Dominicana precios, especificaciones y cantidades de los citados productos perecederos que comprará durante los 6 meses siguientes respectivos, y, posteriormente, mientras esté en vigor el Acuerdo, publicará avisos similares periódicamente. b) Se tiene la idea de que este procedimiento de avisos permitirá a los productores dominicanos establecer un programa de producción. “8. –

La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, se compromete a comprar, hasta Julio 1, 1945, la totalidad del excedente exportable de ganado vacuno vivo de la República Dominicana bajo las condiciones siguientes: La Commodity Credit Corporation pagará 12 centavos, moneda corriente de los Estados Unidos, por kilo de res viva, al alcance del “guinche” del buque, en cualquier puerto de la República Dominicana que ella indique. El peso de embarque oficial será determinado en el acto de embarque.

El ganado vacuno vivo entregado bajo este convenio, podrá ser aceptado o rechazado por los inspectores de la Commodity Credit Corporation, si no está de acuerdo con las especificaciones siguientes:

El ganado vacuno vivo que comprará la Commodity Credit Corporation será todo de novillos de primera clase criados en la República Dominicana, de un peso promedio no menor de 1.000 libras americanas, de edad no mayor de 4 años, libres de enfermedades, sin magulladuras graves, en condiciones de ser exportados y que produzcan una carne apropiada para el consumo humano.

58 Stat. 1283 a) El Gobierno de la República Dominicana se compromete a expedir licencia de exportación únicamente a la Commodity Credit Corporation, o a su apoderado, para la exportación de ganado vacuno vivo, o carne de res, en el curso de cada mes, hasta que el número de reses así autorizado y exportado por la Commodity Credit Corporation haya alcanzado por lo menos 1.000 cabezas, y el Gobierno de la República Dominicana no autorizará la exportación de ganado vacuno vivo alguno excepto a la Commodity Credit Corporation o a su apoderado. Debe haber disponibles para la exportación y serán exportadas en pie por lo menos 1.000 cabezas, cada mes, del excedente exportable de ganado vacuno vivo. La Commodity Credit Corporation o su apoderado aceptará, bajo las condiciones antedichas, ofertas de ganado vacuno vivo, en exceso de las mil cabezas mensuales, siempre que el Gobierno Dominicano indique que tal exceso no afectará adversamente la economía nacional dominicana. b) Ninguna disposición de este párrafo debe interpretarse como anulación del compromiso que contrajo la República Dominicana con la Commodity Credit Corporation, de entregar o hacer entregar a la Commodity Credit Corporation 700 cabezas de ganado vacuno vivo, al precio de 11 centavos por kilo, de acuerdo con la carta que dirigió en fecha 12 de Octubre de 1943 el señor Leon Falk, Director de la Divi sión de Productos Extranjeros de la Commodity Credit Corporation, al señor Manuel de Moya. “9. – La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, se compromete a comprar, hasta Julio 1, 1945, cualquier excedente exportable de carne de res congelada, producida de novillos de las condiciones estipuladas en el párrafo número 8, ofrecida en venta a la Commodity Credit Corporation, o a su apoderado, para ser entregada c.i.f. San Juan de Puerto Rico. La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, estará dispuesta a pagar las reses congeladas ai precio básico de 13 centavos, por libra, f.o.b. libre a bordo, Ciudad Trujillo, R. D., peso de embarque final oficial, más un importe convenido mutuamente por abrigo (shroud) y flete de Ciudad Trujillo, R. D., a San Juan de Puerto Rico. a) Las reses congeladas deben haber sido sacrificadas en forma apropiada, de acuerdo con los reglamentos del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos, y deben someterse a toda inspección necesaria y adecuada que determine la Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado. El mantenimiento de la temperatura y de las condiciones hasta su entrega en San Juan de Puerto Rico también debe estar de acuerdo con los reglamentos del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos, o según indique la Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado. b) El Gobierno de la República Dominicana prohibirá la exportación de carne de res congelada, exceptuando la que haga la Commodity Credit Corporation o su apoderado, durante el período que finalizará Julio 1, 1945, a partir de la fecha en que. la República Dominicana acepte el precio ofrecido y los términos y las condiciones estipuladas para la compra de tal carne de res congelada por la Commodity Credit Corporation. 58 Stat. 1284 “10. – El Gobierno de la República Dominicana transmitirá a la Commodity Credit Corporation, o a su apoderado, en fechas 1 de Enero, 1 de Abril, 1 de Julio y 1 de Octubre de cada año, mientras dure este Acuerdo, notificación por escrito de las cantidades de los productos sobre los cuales se ha llegado por el presente a nuevos acuerdos y que se espera tener disponibles para ser vendidos a la Commodity Credit Corporation durante los próximos tres meses inmediatos. Este compromiso no afecta el existente similar, con respecto a arroz, maíz y harina de maní. “11. – Uno o varios representantes de la Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, estarán estacionados en la República Dominicana para efectuar las compras convenidas de acuerdo con las condiciones antedichas y para colaborar en las demás actividades relacionadas con el fomento y la procuración mencionados en el presente Acuerdo. “12. – El pago de las compras estipuladas por el presente Acuerdo será efectuado por medio de cartas de crédito apropiadas sobre Ciudad Trujillo, por la Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado. “13. – El “peso oficial de embarque” mencionado en los párrafos anteriores será determinado por el representante de la Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado estacionado en la República Dominicana. “14. – La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, actuarán como Agencia Compradora para todos los Negociados del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, insluso las Fuerzas Armadas, para la adquisición de carnes, huevos, frutas y legumbres frescas y demás productos alimenticios que cualquiera de esos Negociados desee comprar en la República Dominicana. “15. – Con respecto a los compromisos estipulados en este Acuerdo, a menos que se disponga de otro modo, el Gobierno Dominicano prohibirá la exportación de los renglones o productos antedichos, excepto por la Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, a partir de la presente fecha hasta Julio 1, 1945. Como la Commodity Credit Corporation será el comprador exclusivo para la exportación de los citados renglones o productos, el Gobierno no requerirá permisos de exportación a los traficantes dominicanos que vendan a la Commodity Credit Corporation o a su apoderado. “16. – Los precios arriba indicados dejan a cargo de los vendedores el pago de todos los derechos de exportación y demás impuestos o gastos de cualquier naturaleza cobrados por el Gobierno Dominicano y se compromete dicho Gobierno a no aumentar, mientras dure este Acuerdo, ninguno de los referidos derechos de exportación, impuestos o gastos, de cualquier naturaleza que sean. “17. – En las notas que serán canjeadas, con respecto a todos los renglones o productos antedichos que se han comprometido o se comprometerán en firme, se estipularán tarifas detalladas o escalas de los precios que serán pagados por la Commodity Credit Corporation, especificándose también los precios que deben pagarse a los campesinos o productores. Cada tarifa será promulgada oficial58 Stat. 1285mente en la República Dominicana y publicada en toda la República por el Secretario de Estado de Agricultura. a) En cuanto a maní, se entiende que la tarifa establecerá para los campesinos un precio de venta no menor de $2.75 por 100 libras de maní no descascarado. “18. – La Commodity Credit Corporation, o su apoderado, comprará los renglones o productos comprendidos en el presente acuerdo por conducto de uno o más, de cuatro intermediarios, dos de los cuales serán designados por la Commodity Credit Corporation, y los otros dos por el Gobierno Dominicano.

Todos o cualquier parte de los derechos, títulos e intereses adquiridos u obligaciones contraídas por la Commodity Credit Corporation, en virtud de este memorandum de Acuerdo, pueden ser traspasados por la misma a cualquier otra Agencia del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, siempre que la Commodity Credit Corporation notifique tal traspaso al Gobierno de la República Dominicana.

En respuesta a dicha nota tengo la honra de expresar a Vuestra Excelencia que el Gobierno Dominicano acepta en todas sus partes las estipulaciones transcritas como constitutivas del Acuerdo que se concluye entre ambos Gobiernos para la venta de los excedentes exportables de los productos alimenticios dominicanos a que se refieren de manera limitativa dichas estipulaciones.

En relación con el párrafo 8–a del memorandum de Acuerdo mi Gobierno desea aclarar que se garantiza a la Commodity Credit Corporation o a su apoderado la totalidad del excedente exportable de ganado vacuno vivo, y que en ningún mes podrán exportarse carnes de res congeladas o preparadas hasta que la Commodity Credit Corporation o su apoderado haya recibido en ese mes las 1.000 cabezas estipuladas.

Por lo tanto, mi Gobierno entiende que cualquier número de cabezas de ganado que excedan después de satisfechas las necesidades de consumo en la República Dominicana serán vendidas a la Commodity Credit Corporation o su apoderado, aunque ese número no llegue a 1.000, entendiéndose que sólo después de llegar a esa cifra será posible exportar carnes de res congeladas o preparadas.

Para dar cumplimiento a lo convenido en la cláusula 3 del Acuerdo, pláceme confirmar a Vuestra Excelencia la nota verbal de esta Secretaría de Estado de fecha 26 de enero de 1944, marcada con el número 2170, por la cual se expresó la conformidad del Gobierno Dominicano de dar a la publicidad, simultaneamente con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, un comunicado para la prensa de ambos países con el siguiente texto:

“Se ha anunciado hoy conjuntamente por el Gobierno Dominicano y el Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos la conclusión de un Acuerdo que estipula la venta de la totalidad de los excedentes exportables de varios productos alimenticios dominicanos al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos exclusivamente, por conducto de la “Foreign Economic Administration”, para contrarrestar la escasez de alimentos en el Caribe y en otras regiones. El Acuerdo estará en vigor hasta el 30 de Junio de 1945.

“Los esfuerzos cooperativos del Gobierno de la República Dominicana y de sus productores de alimentos han logrado un aumento de producción en estos tiempos críticos y constituyen una contribución importante para el programa de suministro total de alimentos de las Naciones Unidas y un aporte para las existencias totales disponibles 58 Stat. 1287que serán distribuidas en las áreas afectadas por la escasez. Será de importancia apreciable para Puerto Rico y demás islas del Caribe que ahora dependen en alto grado de las exportaciones de alimentos de los Estados Unidos.

“Los embarques directos de alimentos dominicanos para esas islas representan una economía en la navegación. El Gobierno Dominicano está contribuyendo substancialmente a este respecto, al proveer una flota de buques para el transporte interisleño de productos alimenticios.

“Conforme a un acuerdo firmado previamente, la República Dominicana está vendiendo a los Estados Unidos exclusivamente sus excedentes de maiz, arroz y tortas de maní, con destino a las áreas del Caribe. El nuevo acuerdo agrega los renglones de maní en grano, frijoles rojos y ganado vacuno vivo. También concede una opción a los Estados Unidos para compras de mantequilla, huevos, vegetales frescos y frutas.

”

Mi Gobierno se propone emitir el anterior comunicado para que apa rezca en los diarios de la mañana del día viernes, 18 de febrero de 1944.

Aprovecho esta oportunidad para reiterar a Vuestra Excelencia las seguridades de mi más alta consideración.

3751

Mr. Ambassador:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your courteous note of December 17, 1943, in which Your Excellency refers to the conversations carried on in Washington between the special representative of the Dominican Government, Mr. Manuel de Moya, on the one hand, and the representatives of interested agencies of the Government of the United States of America, on the other, regarding the purchase by your Government of the exportable surpluses of certain food products.

Attached to the above-mentioned note Your Excellency transmits a “Memorandum of Understanding” containing the stipulations which were arrived at as a result of the conversations referred to, the text of which reads thus:

[For the English version of the memorandum of understanding of Nov. 1, 1943, see ante, p. 1274.]

In response to said note, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the Dominican Government accepts in their entirety the 58 Stat. 1288stipulations set forth as constituting the agreement concluded between the two Governments for the sale of the exportable surpluses of Dominican food products to which the said stipulations refer in a limitative manner.

In relation to paragraph 8 (a) of the memorandum of understanding, my Government desires to explain that the entire exportable surplus of live cattle is guaranteed to the Commodity Credit Corporation or its nominee, and that in no month may there be exported frozen or prepared meats until the Commodity Credit Corporation or its nominee shall have received in that month the stipulated 1,000 head of cattle.

Therefore, my Government understands that any number of cattle existing as a surplus after the consumption needs of the Dominican Republic are satisfied will be sold to the Commodity Credit Corporation or its nominee, even though this number may not reach 1,000 head, in the understanding that only after arriving at that number will it be possible to export frozen or prepared meats.

In accordance with paragraph 4 (b) and paragraph 17 of the agreement with which this note deals, the detailed tarifa of schedule of prices which will be paid by the Commodity Credit Corporation, and which stipulates also the price which will be paid to the farmers or producers, is as follows:

  Price for the producer: Price free alongside ship in any of the ports of Ciudad Trujillo, San Pedro de Macorís, Romana, Puerto Plata, Monte Cristi, and Sanchez:
Rice (2d class) (per 100 pounds) $6 at any location in the country $7.90
Frozen meat (per 100 pounds)   $13.00
Red beans (per 100 pounds) San J. de Ocoa $3.55  
San Juan 3.20  
El Cercado 3.00  
Constanza 3.45 $5.25
Jarabacoa 3.70  
Corn (per 100 pounds) Santiago, Moca, La Vega, S. F. de Macorís and all points on the railroad $1.10  
  Puerto Plata, Azua. S. Pedro de Macorís and Ciudad Trujillo $1.35  
  Higüey $1.15 $2.00
Shelled peanuts (per 100 pounds) $3 per quintal unshelled $6.75
Cattle (per 100 pounds) $9.00 $12.00
Peanut cake (Meal)   35.00 per ton of 2000 American lbs.

In order to fulfil the terms of paragraph 3 of the agreement, I take pleasure in confirming to Your Excellency the note verbale from this Department of State under date of January 26, 1944, numbered 2170, in which was expressed the agreement of the Dominican Government 58 Stat. 1289to make public, simultaneously with the Government of the United States of America, a press release in both countries, with the following text:

“Conclusion of an agreement which stipulates the sale of the entire exportable surplus of several Dominican foodstuffs exclusively to the Government of the United States, through the Foreign Economic Administration, in order to check the shortage of food in the Caribbean and other areas was announced today jointly by the Dominican Government and the Department of State of the United States. The agreement shall be in force until June 30, 1945.

“The cooperative efforts of the Government of the Dominican Republic and of its food producers have resulted in an increase in production in these critical times and constitute an important contribution to the total United Nations food-supply program and a contribution to the total available supplies which will be distributed in areas affected by the shortage. It will be of appreciable importance to Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands which now depend to a great extent on exports of food from the United States.

“Direct shipments of Dominican foods to these islands represent an economy in shipping. The Dominican Government is contributing substantially in this respect by providing a fleet of vessels for interisland transportation of foodstuffs.

“In conformity with an agreement signed previously, the Dominican Republic is selling to the United States exclusively its surpluses of corn, rice, and peanut cakes, for use in the Caribbean areas. The new agreement adds the items of peanuts, red kidney beans, and live cattle. Moreover, a refusal is granted to the United States for purchases of butter, eggs, fresh vegetables, and fruits.”

My Government proposes to release the above for publication in the morning newspapers of Friday, February 18, 1944.

I avail myself of this opportunity to reiterate to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration.

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the exchange of notes between the Governments of Canada and the United States dated January 27,

57 Stat. 1429.

1943, regarding the post-war disposition of defence projects and installations constructed in Canada by the Government of the United States. These notes approved the 28th Recommendation of the Permanent Joint Board on Defence, which said in part:

“The Board considered the question of the post-war disposition of the defence projects and installations which the Government of the United States has built or may build in Canada. The Board noted that the two Governments have already reached specific agreements for the post-war disposition of most of the projects and installations thus far undertaken. It considers that such agreements are desirable and should be made whenever possible.

“The Board recommends the approval of the following formula as a generally fair and equitable basis to be used by reference whenever appropriate in the making of agreements in the future and to cover such defence projects, if any, the post-war disposition of which has not previously been specifically provided for:

“A: All immovable defence installations built or provided in Canada by the Government of the United States shall within one year after the cessation of hostilities, unless otherwise agreed by the two Governments, be relinquished to the Crown either in the right of Canada or in the right of the province in which the same or any part thereof lies, as may be appropriate under Canadian law.”

As hereinafter explained, the two governments have agreed that special arrangements should be made relating to permanent United States air installations in Canada and to the telephone line from Edmonton to the Alaska boundary built by the United States Government. 58 Stat. 1291 3. In note no. 643 of December 18, 1943, I informed you that the Canadian Government “will not accept payment from the United States Government for the construction of any permanent facilities or improvements made by the Canadian Government on United States Government account on airfields in Northwest Canada, and will make payment to the United States Government for all construction of a permanent nature carried out by the United States Government on air routes in this area.” 4. It was subsequently agreed between the two Governments that, in addition, the Canadian Government should assume the cost of permanent air installations elsewhere in Canada and at Goose Bay (Labrador) built by or on the account of the United States Government, the cost of the telephone line from Edmonton to the Alaska boundary built by the United States Government, and the cost of the proposed improvement program on the Northwest Staging Route. 5. Discussions have recently taken place between representatives of the two Governments regarding the details of the decisions and arrangements referred to in the two preceding paragraphs, with a view to listing the installations involved and their costs, and to settling the exact amount of money to be paid by the Canadian Government to the United States Government. 6. It is my understanding that the following has been agreed as a result of these discussions. The Canadian Government will pay to the United States Government the following amounts in United States dollars for construction carried out by the United States Government:
Northwest Staging Route (including contracts not yet completed) $31, 311, 196
Flight strips along the Alaska Highway 3, 262, 687
Flight strips along the Mackenzie River 1, 264, 150
Hudson Bay Air Route 27, 460, 330
Airfield at Mingan, P. Q. 3, 627, 980
Airfield at Goose Bay, Labrador 543, 000
Telephone line from Edmonton to Alaska boundary 9, 342, 208
TOTAL 76, 811, 551
7. The details of the costs of construction are shown in the attached appendices marked “I”, “II” and “III”,[1]1 [Not printed.] which have been prepared by the United States War Department. The appendices show that costs of $90,683,571 were actually incurred by the United States Government in construction but $13,872,020 of this amount was for installations which, although of value to joint defence during the war, have no permanent value. It has been agreed that the Canadian Government should pay that part of United States construction costs which represents installations having a permanent value, namely $76,811,551. 58 Stat. 1292 8. The costs incurred by the Canadian Government on United States Government account which the Canadian Government will assume pursuant to the decisions reached are as follows:
Northwest Staging Route $18, 359, 953
Northeast Canada 1, 290, 010
Airfield at Goose Bay, Labrador 9, 950, 000
TOTAL $29, 599, 963

In addition the Canadian Government will pay $5,161,000 for the projected improvement program on the Northwest Staging Route. Details of the four items mentioned in this paragraph are given in the attached appendix marked “IV”.[1]1 [Not printed.]

 9. It is understood that all the items mentioned in the four appendices, whether or not of permanent value, will be relinquished to the Canadian Government pursuant to the Exchange of Notes of January

57 Stat. 1429.

27, 1943, hereinbefore referred to. However, such relinquishment does not affect existing arrangements for the maintenance, operation and defence of these facilities for the duration of the war. In this connection, it is relevant to quote the following extract from the Journal of the meeting of the Permanent Joint Board on Defence held April 12–13, 1944:

“In noting this decision of the two Governments, (i. e. the decision of the Canadian Government to assume the costs of the installations), the Board observed that it relates only to the financial aspect of the facilities in question and has no bearing on existing arrangements for the maintenance, operation and defence of the facilities for the duration of the war. It is the Board’s understanding that the existing arrangements will remain in effect for the duration of the emergency as previously agreed upon unless modified by mutual agreement between the two Governments.”

 10. If the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of the United States, this note and your reply thereto shall be regarded as placing on record the understanding arrived at between our Governments.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurance of my highest consideration.

No. 799/82

April 14, 1944

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to the trade agreement between the Republic of Turkey and the United States of America signed at

54 Stat. 1870.

Ankara, April 1, 1939, Article I of which reads as follows:

“Natural or manufactured products originating in the United States of America, enumerated and described in Schedule I annexed to this Agreement, shall, on their importation into the territory of the Turkish Republic, be accorded the tariff reductions provided for in the said Schedule.

“In the event that the Government of the Turkish Republic should increase the duties provided for in the said Schedule, such increased duties shall not be applied to the said products until two months after the date of their promulgation.

“If before the expiration of the aforesaid period of two months an agreement between the two Governments has not been reached with respect to such compensatory modifications of this Agreement as may be deemed appropriate, the Government of the United States of America shall be free within fifteen days after the date of the application of such increased duties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety on thirty days’ written notice.”

The duty on heavy mineral oils, Turkish tariff no. 695 D, and their residues, comprising machine oil, mazout, motorine, and other such combustibles, as provided in Schedule I of the trade agreement, is 0.95 piastre per kilo, while the duty on kerosene, tariff no. 695 C, is 6 piastres per kilo.

During recent years the quality of motorine has been greatly improved so as to make it desirable to apply the same duties to motorine as to kerosene. To raise the duty on motorine to the level existing for kerosene would necessitate raising the price of motorine to such height as would cause harmful repercussions.

Therefore, in accordance with the terms of Article I of the trade agreement, the Turkish Government contemplates reducing the duty on tariff no. 695 C to 3.30 piastres per kilo while raising that on tariff no. 695 D to 2.75 piastres per kilo (which with the existing excise tax on motorine of 0.55 piastre per kilo would amount to 3.30 piastres per kilo.)

58 Stat. 1295

In view of these circumstances I have the honor to inquire whether the Government of the United States would have any objection to these contemplated changes as described above.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note of April 14, 1944, referring to Article I of the trade agreement between the United States of America and the Republic of Turkey, and explaining the desire of the Turkish Government to increase the duty on tariff no. 695 D from 0.95 piastres per kilo, as provided in Schedule I of the trade agreement, to 2.75 piastres per kilo and at the same time, in accordance with the provisions of Article I of the trade agreement, to reduce the duty on tariff no. 695 C from 6.00 piastres per kilo to 3.30 piastres per kilo.

In view of the circumstances described in Your Excellency’s note I have the honor to reply that the Government of the United States does not object to the above-mentioned duty changes.

[E. A. S. 407]

Agreement between the United States of America and Colombia respecting military service. Effected by exchange of notes signed at Washington January 27, 1944; effective January 27, 1944. And related note of February 12, 1944.
The Secretary of State to the Colombian Ambassador

Department of State Washington

January 27, 1944

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to conversations which have taken place between officers of the Colombian Embassy and of the Department of State with respect to the application of the United States Selective

54 Stat. 885.

50 U. S. C. app. §§ 301–318; Supp. III, §§ 302–315.

Ante, pp. 720, 798.

Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, to Colombian nationals residing in the United States.

As you are aware, the Act provides that with certain exceptions every male citizen of the United States and every other male person between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five residing in the United States shall register. The Act further provides that, with certain exceptions, registrants within specified age limits are liable for active military service in the United States armed forces.

This Government recognizes that from the standpoint of morale of the individuals concerned and the over-all military effort of the countries at war with the Axis Powers, it is desirable to permit certain nationals of cobelligerent countries who have registered or who may register under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, to enlist in the armed forces of their own country, should they desire to do so. It will be recalled that during the World War this Government signed conventions with certain associated powers on this subject. The United States Government believes, however, that under existing circumstances the same ends may now be accomplished through administrative action, thus obviating the delays incident to the signing and ratification of conventions.

Nationals of cobelligerent countries.

Induction procedure.

This Government has, therefore, initiated a procedure permitting aliens who have registered under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, who are nationals of certain cobelligerent countries and who have not declared their intention of becoming American citizens to elect to serve in the forces of their respective countries, in lieu of service in the armed forces of the United States, at any time prior to their induction into the armed forces of this country. This Government is also affording to such nationals, who may already be serving in the armed forces of the United States, an opportunity of electing to transfer to the armed forces of their own 58 Stat. 1297country. The details of the procedure are arranged directly between the War Department and the Selective Service System on the part of the United States Government and the appropriate authorities of the cobelligerent government concerned. It should be understood, however, that in all cases a person exercising an option under the procedure must actually be accepted by the military authorities of the country of his allegiance before his departure from the United States.

Before the above-mentioned procedure is made effective with respect

Stipulations to be agreed to by cobelligerent country.

to a cobelligerent country, this Department wishes to receive from the diplomatic representative in Washington of that country a note stating that his government desires to avail itself of the procedure and in so doing agrees that:

(a) No threat or compulsion of any nature will be exercised by his government to induce any person in the United States to enlist in the forces of his or any foreign government; (b) Reciprocal treatment will be granted to American citizens by his government; that is, prior to induction in the armed forces of his government they will be granted the opportunity of electing to serve in the armed forces of the United States in substantially the same manner as outlined above. Furthermore, his government shall agree to inform all American citizens serving in its armed forces or former American citizens who may have lost their citizenship as a result of having taken an oath of allegiance on enlistment in such armed forces and who are now serving in those forces that they may transfer to the armed forces of the United States provided they desire to do so and provided they are acceptable to the armed forces of the United States. The arrangements for effecting such transfers are to be worked out by the appropriate representatives of the armed forces of the respective governments; (c) No enlistments will be accepted in the United States by his government of American citizens subject to registration or of aliens of any nationality who have declared their intention of becoming American citizens and are subject to registration.

This Government is prepared to make the proposed regime effective immediately with respect to Colombia upon the receipt from you of a note stating that your Government desires to participate in it and agrees to the stipulations set forth in lettered paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) above.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

April 8, 1943

[E. A. S. 410]
By the President of the United States of America A PROCLAMATION Whereas section 350(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 of the Congress of the United States of America, as amended by the act of June 12, 1934, entitled “AN ACT To amend the Tariff Act of 1930” (48 Stat.

19 U. S. C., Supp. III, § 1351 (a).

943; U.S.C., 1940 ed., title 19, sec. 1351 (a)), provided as follows:
“Sec. 350. (a) For the purpose of expanding foreign markets for the products of the United States (as a means of assisting in the present emergency in restoring the American standard of living, in overcoming domestic unemployment and the present economic depression, in increasing the purchasing power of the American public, and in establishing and maintaining a better relationship among various branches of American agriculture, industry, mining, and commerce) by regulating the admission of foreign goods into the United States in accordance with the characteristics and needs of various branches of American production so that foreign markets will be made available to those branches of American production which require and are capable of developing such outlets by affording corresponding market opportunities for foreign products in the United States, the President, whenever he finds as a fact that any existing duties or other import restrictions of the United States or any foreign country are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States and that the purpose above declared will be promoted by the means hereinafter specified, is authorized from time to time— “(1) To enter into foreign trade agreements with foreign governments or instrumentalities thereof; and “(2) to proclaim such modifications of existing duties and other import restrictions, or such additional import restrictions, or such continuance, and for such minimum periods, of existing customs or excise treatment of any article covered by foreign trade agreements, as are required or appropriate to carry out any foreign trade agreement that the President has entered into hereunder. No proclamation shall be made increasing or decreasing by more than 50 per centum any existing rate of duty or transferring any article between the dutiable and free lists. The proclaimed duties and other import restrictions shall apply to articles58 Stat. 1323 the growth, produce, or manufacture of all foreign countries, whether imported directly, or indirectly: Provided, That the President may suspend the application to articles the growth, produce, or manufacture of any country because of its discriminatory treatment of American commerce or because of other acts or policies which in his opinion tend to defeat the purposes set forth in this section; and the proclaimed duties and other import restrictions shall be in effect from and after such time as is specified in the proclamation. The President may at any time terminate any such proclamation in whole or in part.”
Whereas the period within which the President of the United States of America was authorized to enter into trade agreements under the said section 350(a) was extended by joint resolutions of Congress approved March 1, 1937 and April 12, 1940 (48 Stat. 944; 50 Stat. 24; 54 Stat. 107; U.S.C., 1940 ed., title 19, sec. 1352(c));

19 U. S. C., Supp. III, § 1352 (c).

 Whereas I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, have found as a fact that certain existing duties and other import restrictions of the United States of America and Iran are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States of America and that the purpose declared in the above-quoted provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, will be promoted by a trade agreement between the United States of America and Iran; Whereas reasonable public notice of the intention to negotiate such trade agreement was given and the views presented by persons interested in the negotiation of such agreement were received and considered;

Whereas, after seeking and obtaining information and advice with respect thereto from the United States Tariff Commission, the Departments of State, Agriculture, and Commerce, and from other sources, I entered into a trade agreement on April 8, 1943, through my duly empowered Plenipotentiary, with His Imperial Majesty the Shah-in-Shah of Iran, through his duly empowered Plenipotentiary, which agreement, including two schedules annexed thereto, in the English and Persian languages, is in words and figures as follows:

The President of the United States of America and His Imperial

Purposes declared.

Majesty the Shah-in-Shah of Iran, being desirous of strengthening the traditional bonds of friendship between the two countries by maintaining as heretofore the principle of equality of treatment as the basis of commercial relations and by granting mutual and reciprocal concessions and advantages for the promotion and extension of trade, have decided to conclude a Trade Agreement and for that purpose have appointed their Plenipotentiaries, as follows:

The President of the United States of America:

Cordell Hull, Secretary of State of the United States of America; and

His Imperial Majesty the Shah-in-Shah of Iran:

Mohammed Shayesteh, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Washington;58 Stat. 1324 who, after communicating to each other their respective full powers, found to be in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles:

Article I 1.

Most-favored-nation treatment.

 The United States of America and Iran will grant each other unconditional and unrestricted most-favored-nation treatment in all matters concerning customs duties and subsidiary charges of every kind and in the method of levying duties, and, further, in all matters concerning the rules, formalities and charges imposed in connection with the clearing of goods through the customs, and with respect to all laws or regulations affecting the sale, taxation or use of imported goods within the country. 2. Accordingly, articles the growth, produce or manufacture of either country imported into the other shall in no case be subject, in regard to the matters referred to above, to any duties, taxes or charges other or higher, or to any rules or formalities other or more burdensome, than those to which the like articles the growth, produce or manufacture of any third country are or may hereafter be subject. 3. Similarly, articles exported from the territory of the United States of America or Iran and consigned to the territory of the other country shall in no case be subject with respect to exportation and in regard to the above-mentioned matters, to any duties, taxes or charges other or higher, or to any rules or formalities other or more burdensome, than those to which the like articles when consigned to the territory of any third country are or may hereafter be subject. 4. Any advantage, favor, privilege or immunity which has been or may hereafter be granted by the United States of America or Iran in regard to the above-mentioned matters, to any article originating in any third country or consigned to the territory of any third country shall be accorded immediately and without compensation to the like article originating in or consigned to the territory of Iran or the United States of America, respectively.
Article II

Exemption from cer tain internal taxes.

Articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the United States of America or Iran, shall, after importation into the other country, be exempt from all internal taxes, fees, charges or exactions other or higher than those imposed on like articles of national origin or of any other foreign origin.
Article III 1.

Freedom of imports and exports.

 No prohibition or restriction of any kind shall be imposed by the Government of either country on the importation of any article the growth, produce or manufacture of the other country or upon the exportation of any article destined for the other country, unless the importation of the like article the growth, produce or manufacture of all third countries, or the exportation of the like article to all third countries, respectively, is similarly prohibited or restricted. 58 Stat. 1325 2. No restriction of any kind shall be imposed by the Government of either country on the importation from the other country of any article in which that country has an interest, whether by means of import licenses or permits or otherwise, unless the total quantity or value of such article permitted to be imported during a specified period, or any change in such quantity or value, shall have been established and made public. If the Government of either country

Allotments.

 allots a share of such total quantity or value to any third country, it shall allot to the other country, unless it is mutually agreed to dispense with such allotment, a share based upon the proportion of the total imports of such article supplied by that country in a previous representative period, account being taken in so far as practicable of any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting the trade in that article, and shall make such share available so as to facilitate its full utilization. No limitation or restriction of any kind other than such an allotment shall be imposed, by means of import licenses or permits or otherwise, on the share of such total quantity or value which may be imported from the other country. 3. The provisions of this Article shall apply in respect of the quantity or value of any article permitted to be imported at a specified rate of duty.
Article IV 1. If the Government of either country establishes or maintains

Control of means of International payment.

 any form of control of the means of international payment, it shall accord unconditional most-favored-nation treatment to the commerce of the other country with respect to all aspects of such control. 2. The Government establishing or maintaining such control shall impose no prohibition, restriction or delay on the transfer of payment for any article the growth, produce or manufacture of the other country which is not imposed on the transfer of payment for the like article the growth, produce or manufacture of any third country. With respect to rates of exchange and with respect to taxes or charges on exchange transactions, articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the other country shall be accorded unconditionally treatment no less favorable than that accorded to the like articles the growth, produce or manufacture of any third country. Tire foregoing provisions shall also extend to the application of such control to payments necessary for or incidental to the importation of articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the other country. In general, the control shall be administered so as not to influence to the disadvantage of the other country the competitive relationships between articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the territories of that country and like articles the growth, produce or manufacture of third countries.
Article V 1. In the event that the Government of either country establishes

Monopolies.

 or maintains a monopoly for the importation, production or sale of any article or grants exclusive privileges, formally or in effect, to any agency to import, produce or sell any article, it is agreed that the58 Stat. 1326 commerce of the other country shall be accorded fair and equitable treatment in respect of the foreign purchases of such monopoly or agency. To this end such monopoly or agency will, in making its foreign purchases of any article, be influenced solely by those con siderations, 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 article on the most favorable terms. 2.

Public-works contracts, etc.

 The Government of each country, in the awarding of contracts for public works and generally in the purchase of supplies, shall accord fair and equitable treatment to the commerce of the other country as compared with the treatment accorded to the commerce of any third country.

“It has been further explained that in accordance with this policy, which is of general application, the issuance of permits for the importation of Iranian opium into the United States in the future would depend largely upon the measures which may have been taken by the Government of Iran for controlling effectively traffic in opium.

I am further directed to state that my Government has always been in full accord and sympathy with the international efforts made in the past to suppress the contraband traffic in opium, and that it is my Government’s intention to establish at an early date any additional regulations which may be necessary to confine the trade in opium produced in Iran to legitimate international channels, including a system of import permits and export authorizations at least equivalent to that described in the Geneva drug convention of 1925.

[E. A. S. 415]
The Secretary of State to the Canadian Minister

Department of State Washington

December 8, 1942

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to the conversation on August 12, 1942 between Mr. Merchant M. Mahoney, Counselor of the Canadian Legation, and an officer of the Department when Mr. Mahoney left an in- formal memorandum dated August 10, 1942 [1]1[Not printed.] in which it is stated that the terms of the Department’s note dated May 7, 1942 [1]1[Not printed.] and the proposed provisional fur seal agreement between the United States and Canada contained therein are generally acceptable to the Canadian authorities but that the Canadian Department of Fisheries desires an interpretation of certain specific points.

The first of the points on which an interpretation is desired relates

Increase in Canadian share of skins.

to the basis for the suggestion made by this Government that the Canadian share of the fur sealskins taken annually on the Pribil of Islands be increased to 20 percent by adding to the 15 percent heretofore received by Canada under the fur seal convention concluded on July 7, 1911 between the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and

37 Stat. 1542.

 Russia, a part of the share formerly received by Japan under that convention. With regard to this I am pleased to say that, in accordance with conversations between representatives of our two Governments, this Government’s proposal that the Canadian share of the fur sealskins be increased to 20 percent is in recognition of the principles underlying the fur seal convention of July 7, 1911, and the cooperation of the Canadian Government in scientific arrangements for the conservation of the fur seal herd. This figure is calculated with reference to the pro rata share heretofore received by Canada and to Canada’s established interest in the fur seal resources, and is intended to be provisional only for the purposes of the present agreement.

With reference to the second point mentioned in the Legation’s

“North Pacific Ocean.”

memorandum, I have to say that no objection is perceived to the deletion of the word “North” as used in the expression “North Pacific Ocean” in Article I of the text of the agreement as proposed in the Department’s note of May 7, 1942.

No objection is perceived to the suggestion, made under the third

Consultations.

point in the Legation’s memorandum, that consultations between the two Governments from time to time regarding the level of population of the herd, provided for by Article VIII of the proposed agreement, 58 Stat. 1380 shall also include other important phases of management or policy relating to the herd.

Duration of agreement.

Likewise, no objection is perceived to the suggestions, made under the fourth point in the Legation’s memorandum, that the agreement shall be retroactive for the 1942 season; also that it shall remain in effect for twelve months after the end of the present emergency unless either Government enacts legislation contrary to its provisions or until twelve months after either Government shall have notified the other Government of an intention of terminating the agreement.

Text of proposed agreement, provisions to be incorporated.

With particular reference to the text of the proposed agreement it is understood, from conversations between representatives of our two Governments, that as far as practicable the provisions of the fur seal convention of July 7, 1911 should be incorporated in the agreement together with the following principal changes and additions:

(1) An increase in the Canadian share of the fur sealskins taken annually on the Pribilof Islands from 15 percent to 20 percent. (2) A provision in the agreement for pelagic sealing under emergency circumstances. It is the view of the Government of the United States that the details regarding the conditions under which pelagic sealing might be conducted and the sharing of the sealskins taken by pelagic sealing should be the subject of consultation between the two Governments in the event circumstances indicate that pelagic sealing should be resorted to in order to utilize effectively the fur seal herd. (3) A provision permitting the issuance of permits for the taking of fur seals for purposes of scientific research and the exchange of information obtained by such research. (4) A provision that the two Governments consult from time to time regarding the level of population at which the seal herd is to be maintained or other important phases of management or policy.

Provisional fur seal agreement.

Terms.

In the light of these considerations, the Government of the United States is prepared to enter into a provisional fur seal agreement with the Government of Canada in the following terms which embody the suggestions made by representatives of the Canadian Government:

Article I

Scope.

The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all waters of the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, north of the thirtieth parallel of north latitude and east of the one hundred and eightieth meridian.
Article II The Government of the United States of America and the Government of Canada mutually and reciprocally agree that: (a)

 ports or harbors of either of the Parties to this Agreement or any part of the territories of such Parties for any purposes connected with the operation of pelagic sealing in the waters within the area defined in Article I; and the importation into or possession within their respective territories of skins of fur seals taken in those waters other than in accord with the provisions of this Agreement shall not be permitted; and (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, pelagic sealing

 may be conducted, in the event of emergency circumstances, by an agency or agencies authorized by either of the two Governments under such conditions and for such a period as may be agreed upon by consultation between the two Governments, and the skins thus taken shall be shared in such a manner as may be agreed upon between them.
Article III The United States agrees that of the total number of sealskins taken

Sharing of skins taken under U. S. jurisdiction.

 annually under the authority of the United States upon the Pribilof Islands or any other islands or shores of the waters defined in Article I subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to which any seal herds hereafter resort, there shall be delivered at the Pribilof Islands or at such other point or points as may be acceptable to both Governments, at the end of each season during the term of this Agreement 20 percent gross in number and value thereof to an authorized agent of the Canadian Government.
Article IV It is agreed on the part of Canada that in case any fur seals hereafter

 resort to any islands or shores of the waters defined in Article I subject to the jurisdiction of Canada, there shall be delivered at the end of each season during the term of this Agreement 20 percent gross in number and value of the total number of sealskins taken annually from such herd to an authorized agent of the Government of the58 Stat. 1382 United States of America at Vancouver, British Columbia, or at such other point or points as may be acceptable to both Governments.
Article V

Exemption of certain aborigines.

The provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to Indians, Aleuts, or other aborigines dwelling on the coasts of the waters defined in Article I, who carry on pelagic sealing in canoes not transported by or used in connection with other vessels, and propelled entirely by oars, paddles, or sails, and manned by not more than five persons each, in the way hitherto practiced, and without the use of firearms; provided that such aborigines are not in the employment of other persons or under contract to deliver the skins to any person.
Article VI

“Pelagic sealing. ”

The term pelagic sealing is hereby defined for the purposes of this Agreement as meaning the killing, capturing, or pursuing in any manner whatsoever of fur seals at sea.
Article VII

Special permits for scientific research.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding Articles of the present Agreement, either Party to this Agreement may grant to any of its nationals or agencies a special permit to take fur seals for purposes of scientific research subject to such restrictions as to number and subject to such other conditions as the Party deems appropriate. Each Party shall at the end of each calendar year inform the other Party of the number of animals taken and the data obtained under such permits.
Article VIII

Imposition of restrictions by U. S.

Nothing contained in the present Agreement shall restrict the right of the United States at any time to suspend altogether the taking of sealskins upon the Pribilof Islands or any other islands or shores of the waters defined in Article I subject to its jurisdiction, or the right of the United States to impose such restrictions and regulations upon the total number of skins which may be taken in any season and the manner and times and places of taking skins as may seem necessary to protect and preserve the seal herd or to increase its numbers, provided, however, that the two Governments will consult from time to time regarding the level of population at which the seal herd is to be maintained or other important phases of management or policy.
Article IX

Enactment of legislation.

Each of the Parties agrees to enact and enforce such legislation as may be necessary to make effective the foregoing provisions with appropriate penalties for violations thereof.

The Parties further agree to cooperate with each other in taking such measures as may be appropriate for the enforcement of the foregoing provisions.

My Government, desiring to arrange for an early withdrawal from activities in the Northwest Territories having to do with discovery and development of oil fields and at the same time to provide for an adequate supply of oil to meet present and future military needs, proposes the following, namely, that it: a) terminate its contract with the Nobel Drilling Company for exploration work in the Northwest Territories; and, b) modify its contract with Imperial Oil Limited for the discovery and development of oil fields and the production of oil in accordance with the terms of the letter of intent dated April 11, 1944, a copy of which is enclosed. 3. The Government of the United States asks the Canadian Government to agree to the proposals set forth above and further to agree : a) that the provision of the August 14–15, 1942, exchange of notes as to the disposition of the Skagway - Whitehorse pipeline will apply also to the gasoline distribution lines to Watson Lake and Fairbanks; b) that after the United States disposes of its works, installations and facilities of the Canol project as provided in existing agreements, the owners and/or lessees thereof will be granted adequate enjoyment of the sites, rights of way, and riparian rights required for satisfactory utilization and that the Canadian Government or its assigns will permit the aforesaid works, installations, and facilities to be used, on equitable terms, for the transportation and refining of crude petroleum purchased by the United States in the Northwest Territories and for the distribution of such petroleum and the products thereof both within and without the boundaries of Canada; c) that no export or other tax, or embargo affecting the United States Government will be placed upon the export of oil purchased by the United States in accordance with the terms of this note. 4. It is understood that nothing in clause b) in paragraph 3 above precludes the Government of Canada from charging a fair and non-discriminatory rental for the use of the lands referred to in any case58 Stat. 1385 in which works and facilities are acquired by private interests. It is also understood that, as stated in the note from the United States Minister on June 27, 1942, “the pipeline and refinery when operated for commercial purposes will be subject to such regulations and conditions as the Canadian Government may consider it necessary to impose in order to safeguard the public interest.” Finally, it is understood that clause c) in paragraph 3 above does not limit the right of the Canadian Government after the war to charge a fair and non- discriminatory royalty on oil produced for and purchased by the United States.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Gentlemen:

You are advised that the Government will negotiate with you a supplemental agreement to your contract, described above, with the following provisions:

1. That Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to above-mentioned contract shall be acknowledged as being terminated and cancelled. 2. That said Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and Supplemental Agreements Nos. 2 and 3 (all as amended pursuant hereto) shall hereafter and until terminated remain in full force and effect as to the proven area at and adjacent to Norman Wells, but shall not apply to or have force and effect as to any area outside said proven area; the said proven area at and adjacent to Norman Wells shall be defined as that area colored in red on the plan hereto annexed as Exhibit I and copies of said plan shall be attached as Appendix A to proposed supplemental agreement. 3. That the equipment and supplies (including compressors, battery stations, etc.) intended for development and/or exploratory work now en route to Norman Wells shall be delivered at Norman Wells by the Government and installed by the contractor and such further equipment and supplies shall be furnished and delivered at Norman Wells and such further work done and completed at the proven area (all under the terms and during the life of said Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and its supplemental agreements as amended pursuant hereto) as may be necessary to render and keep the proven area capable of efficiently58 Stat. 1386 producing and delivering at least 4,000 barrels of crude petroleum per day to the Government and the contractor shall be obligated, during the same period, to keep the proven area capable of delivering at least 4,000 barrels per day. No action under this clause 3 shall prevent or impair the supplying of the local requirements for petroleum or petroleum products except with the consent of the Government of Canada. 4. That in lieu of the prices for crude oil mentioned in Sections 8.a. and 10 of Article I of the original contract, the Government, after May 1, 1944, and during the remaining life of said Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and its supplemental agreements (all as amended pursuant hereto), will pay the contractor for crude petroleum delivered from the field tank batteries or delivered to the refinery storage for processing from wells drilled under said last named contract, 20 Cents Canadian currency per barrel. The Government will also continue to reimburse the contractor for all costs as provided in said Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and its supplemental agreements but the contractor will pay any royalty owed to private third parties. 5. The contractor is embarking on an extensive exploratory program in the Northwest Territories and as conducive to efficiency, expedition and economy of operation for both parties, provision shall be made for such exchanges, consolidations, joint usage and divisions of expenses relating to production, general supervision, general office, utilization of employees, establishments, tankage, facilities, and services and furnishing or sale of materials and supplies on hand as may be agreed upon by the Contracting Officer and the Contractor’s Project Manager as being of mutual benefit. 6. That on the termination of said contract No. W-412-eng-52 (as amended pursuant hereto), the contractor will give to the Government of the United States the continuing right to purchase for its own use but not for resale, at the wellhead or in the contractor’s field tanks, crude petroleum from the said proven area to an amount which shall not exceed one-half of the recoverable reserves remaining in the proven area at the said contract termination last above mentioned or 30,000,000 barrels, whichever shall be the smaller, and in addition thereto the said Government shall have the continuing right to purchase for its own use but not for resale 10% of the recoverable reserves of crude petroleum found in each field hereafter successively discovered by drilling and developed by the contractor in the Northwest Territories until there shall be a combined total of 60,000,000 barrels of crude petroleum from the proven area and the fields so discovered and developed subject to the aforesaid continuing right to purchase of the Government. The Government shall pay for the said crude oil the cost thereof to the contractor, including all direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with finding, development and production thereof, with proper provisions for depreciation and depletion, but no depreciation or depletion shall be charged in relation to the buildings, installations and equipment covered by clause 7 hereof or in relation to the monies expended by the Government through the contractor on exploratory58 Stat. 1387 work and, in addition to the said cost, the Government shall pay to the contractor 20 Cents Canadian currency per barrel. The above right to purchase of the Government shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) To the prior and preferred supplying of all local requirements for crude petroleum and petroleum products currently. (2) The above right to purchase shall, from and after May 1, 1954, be exercised currently and the Government of the United States shall accordingly take delivery during each month of 20% of the respective amounts of crude oil which the contractor produces for export during said month from the proven area and from each of the other areas in which the Government has its right to purchase crude oil until a total of 60,000,000 barrels of crude oil shall have been received by the said Government directly or by delivery to the contractor as hereinafter in this sub-clause (2) provided or partly by each of the said methods; in case the Government does not take all or a part of the said 20% as above set forth, the Government shall be deemed to have delivered the amount of said 20% which it does not take delivery of during the month in question to the contractor for the latter’s own use and the contractor shall pay to the Government all of the excess by which the average price received by the contractor for crude oil exported from the field in question during said month exceeds the price payable by the Government for said crude oil at the wellhead, namely, 20 Cents Canadian currency per barrel plus cost as above defined. (3) In case of war emergency, the contractor will use all reasonable endeavours to produce and deliver to the Government the crude oil which it has the right to purchase hereunder in the quantities and at the times desired by the Government. Except in case of war emergency the contractor shall not be asked to produce any of its fields inefficiently or to the injury of said fields. (4) Any costs in excess of those which the contractor would normally incur in the ordinary course of its business, if incurred at the request, and for the benefit of the Government, shall be for account of the Government and paid by it. The Government shall take delivery of the said crude oil currently as it purchases the same and the contractor shall not be obligated to furnish storage for the same. 7. That at the termination of said Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and its supplemental agreements (all as amended pursuant hereto), the Government shall transfer to and vest in the contractor all the wells, buildings, installations, tanks, battery stations, drilling and other equipment (including spare parts) and materials and supplies including all rights relating thereto which the Government then has in the Norman Area or en route thereto for development and/or exploratory58 Stat. 1388 work, including such marine and road transportation and construction equipment as is required to service the same, and any other buildings, equipment or supplies including all rights relating thereto which, not being required by the Government may be of use to the contractor in his proposed exploratory and development program. The Government agrees not to remove permanently from the Norman Area any of the above items without the consent of the contractor and to now deliver to the contractor all of such items as are not required for the contractor’s operations on the proven area and the contractor shall have the right to use the same from May 1, 1944, in his proposed exploratory and development program, paying therefor a rental equivalent to 5 Cents Canadian currency per barrel for each barrel of oil purchased by the Government under Article 4 hereof. All such property as can now be itemized and listed shall be now itemized and listed and attached as Appendix B to the proposed supplemental agreement. Further items can be added to said Appendix B from time to time by the Contracting Officer and the Project Manager and a final itemizing and listing of the property shall be made at the termination of the Contract No. W-412-eng-52 by the Contracting Officer and the Project Manager and attached to the proposed supplemental agreement as Appendix C. For the above property to be so transferred to and vested in the contractor, the contractor shall pay the Government the sum of $3,000,000 Canadian currency, said sum to be payable only out of the proceeds of oil delivered or deemed to be delivered to the Government under clause 6 hereof at the rate of 5 Cents Canadian currency per each barrel of oil so delivered or deemed to be delivered. 8. The original Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and the supplemental agreements Nos. 2 and 3 (all as amended pursuant hereto) shall terminate on the termination of hostilities in the present War or at the option of the Government at the expiry of such period not exceeding one year after the said termination of hostilities as the Government may desire, provided that in the latter case the Government shall give the contractor three months’ prior written notice of such termination.

Except as may be modified by a supplemental agreement contemplated by this Letter of Intent, the terms and conditions of your Contract No. W-412-eng-52 and supplemental agreements Nos, 2 and 3 shall remain in full force and effect.

Kindly indicate on three copies hereof your acceptance of this Letter of Intent and return all executed copies to the Contracting Officer.

Sir,

In acknowledging receipt of your Note No. 156 of June 7, 1944, I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Canada, having given consideration to the desire of the Government of the United States to withdraw from activities in the Northwest Territories having to do with the discovery and development of oil fields, agrees to the proposals and understandings set forth in your Note.

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to my note of February 19, 1942 [1]1[Not printed.] and to the reply of May 29 [1]1[Not printed.] of the then Acting Minister for External Affairs, the Right Honorable John Curtin, relating to the question of changing the present procedure with respect to prizes taken by the United States naval forces in foreign waters remote from ports of the United States.

I am now in receipt of instructions from the Department of State amplifying the information contained in my note of February 19.

56 Stat. 746.

50 U. S. C. Supp. III, app. §§ 821–828.

Ante, p. 678.

Public Law 704–77th Congress, an Act to facilitate the disposition of prizes captured by the United States during the present war, and for other purposes was approved on August 18, 1942. [2]2[See also proclamation of August 12, 1944 ( 58 Stat. 1146).] A copy of the Act is enclosed.

It will be perceived that the Act relates only to prizes captured during the present war, a matter raised in the note from the Acting Minister for External Affairs. It may be added concerning the other matter inquired about that the special prize commissioners which the district courts of the United States are authorized to appoint may exercise abroad the duties which are prescribed by law for such commissioners and such additional duties as the district courts may confer on them for carrying out the purposes of the Act. The duties of prize commissioners are set out in Title 34 U. S. C. Section 1138 which reads as follows:

“§. 1138. Duties of prize commissioners. The prize commissioners, or one of them, shall receive from the prize master the documents and papers, and inventory thereof, and shall take the affidavit of the prize master required by section 1134 of this title, and shall forthwith take the testimony of the witnesses sent in, separate from each other, on interrogatories prescribed by the court, in the manner usual in prize courts ; and the witnesses shall not be permitted to see the interrogatories, documents, or papers, or to consult with counsel, or with any persons interested with58 Stat. 1391 out special authority from the court ; and witnesses who have the rights of neutrals shall be discharged as soon as practicable. The prize commissioners shall also take depositions de bene esse of the prize crew and others, at the request of the district attorney, on interrogatories prescribed by the court. They shall also, as soon as any prize property comes within the district for adjudication, examine the same, and make an inventory thereof, founded on an actual examination, and report to the court, whether any part of it is in a condition requiring immediate sale for the interests of all parties, and notify the district attorney thereof; and if it be necessary to the examination or making of the inventory that the cargo be unladen, they shall apply to the court for an order to the marshal to unlade the same, and shall, from time to time, report to the court anything relating to the condition of the property, or its custody or disposal, which may require any action by the court, but the custody of the property shall be in the marshal only. They shall also seasonably return into court, sealed and secured from inspection, the documents and papers which shall come to their hands, duly scheduled and numbered, and the other prepatory evidence, and the evidence taken de bene esse, and their own inventory of the prize property ; and if the captured vessel, or any of its cargo or stores, are such as in their judgment may be useful to the United States in war, they shall report the same to the Secretary of the Navy.”

It will be noted that according to the terms of Section 3 of the above-mentioned Public Law 704 “the jurisdiction of prizes brought

56 Stat. 746.

50 U. S. C., Supp. III, app. § 823.

into the territorial waters of a cobelligerent shall not be exercised under authority of this Act nor shall prizes be taken or appropriated within such territorial waters for the use of the United States unless the Government having jurisdiction over such territorial waters consents to the exercise of such jurisdiction or to such taking or appropriation.” Section 7 of that Act states:

56 Stat. 747.

50 U. S. C., Supp. III app. § 827.

“A cobelligerent of the United States which consents to the exercise of the jurisdiction herein conferred with respect to prizes of the United States brought into its territorial waters and to the taking or appropriation of such prizes within its territorial waters for the use of the United States shall be accorded, upon proclamation by the President of the United States, like privileges with respect to prizes captured under authority of such cobelligerent and brought into the territorial waters of the United States or taken or appropriated in the territorial waters of the United States for the use of such cobelligerent. Reciprocal recognition and full faith and credit shall be given to the jurisdiction acquired by courts of a cobelligerent hereunder and to all proceedings had or judgments rendered in exercise of such jurisdiction.”

In consideration of the provisions of Section 3, I should be grateful if you would inform me at the earliest possible date whether the Commonwealth Government would consent to the exercise of the proposed jurisdiction or to the taking or appropriation of prizes as therein58 Stat. 1392 mentioned. This procedure is proposed on a basis of reciprocity under the terms of Section 7 of the Act.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurance of my highest consideration.

Señor Secretario:

Tengo la honra de acusar recibo de la nota de Vuestra Excelencia del 25 de septiembre de 1943, en la que se hace referencia al Memorándum de la Embajada del 24 de julio de 1943 y en la que se consigna un resumen del resultado de los diversos cambios de impresiones que se han llevado a cabo con respecto a la resolución final de las reclamaciones de los nacionales norteamericanos, cuyos derechos e intereses en la industria petrolera de México fueron afectados por actos de mi Gobierno posteriores al 17 de marzo de 1938.

Me es grato manifestar a Vuestra Excelencia que mi Gobierno está de acuerdo con los términos del resumen consignado en la nota que contesto, a saber:

1. De acuerdo con el Dictamen Conjunto presentado el 17 de abril de 1942 por los señores Manuel J. Zevada y Morris L. Cooke, peritos designados por los respectivos gobiernos en cumplimiento del Arreglo del 19 de noviembre de 1941, el Gobierno de México pagará al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América la suma de 23,995,991.00 de dólares moneda de los Estados Unidos, más intereses computados de conformidad con el Dictamen Conjunto a razón del 3 % anual a partir del 18 de marzo de 1938. 2. En contra de la suma total de 27,981,955.20 de dólares, pagadera el 30 de septiembre de 1943, se acreditará la cantidad de 9,000,000.00 de dólares entregada anteriormente como depósito por el Gobierno de México al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América. La suma de 3,796,391.04 de dólares, que representa la quinta parte del saldo, deberá pagarse en Washington el 30 de septiembre de 1943 y el resto, que asciende a 15,185,564.16 de dólares más intereses, se pagará en Washington en cuatro anualidades iguales, de 4,085,327.45 de dólares. cada una, el día 30 de septiembre de cada uno de los años 1944 a 1947 inclusive. 3. Las sumas totales que el Gobierno de México pagará en esta forma, las cuales no estarán sujetas a deducciones por concepto de impuestos o reclamaciones de ningún género, constituirán el pago y la liquidación totales y definitivos de todas las reclamaciones en contra del Gobierno de México por parte de las compañías respectivas mencionadas en el Dictamen Conjunto del 17 de abril de 1942 y por parte también de las siguientes compañías no mencionadas en el citado Dictamen Conjunto: J.

El Gobierno de México exonera a todas las compañías incluidas en el párrafo precedente de todas las obligaciones que pueda tener derecho a exigir de dichas empresas, incluyendo impuestos y derechos fiscales no pagados y los desembolsos hechos legalmente por el Gobierno o que el mismo ha aceptado hacer en nombre de estas empresas. El Gobierno de México asume asimismo la responsabilidad de satisfacer y liquidar todas las reclamaciones de carácter privado en contra de dichas compañíasincluyendo reclamaciones de trabajoque hayan sido o sean consideradas procedentes por los tribunales mexicanos administrativos o judiciales. Al efecto, el Gobierno de México conviene en dar los pasos necesarios para substituirse en lugar de cualquiera de las compañías que haya sido o sea demandada ante tales tribunales. 5. Antes de que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América efectúe pago alguno a cualquiera compañía incluida en este convenio, la empresa que vaya a recibir el pago depositará en el Departamento de Estado los documentos e instrumentos legales que posea, comprobatorios de la propiedad de los bienes, derechos o intereses afectados, con objeto de que esta documentación sea entregada al Gobierno de México cuando haya cubierto el importe de la última de las anualidades que deberá liquidar conforme al presente convenio.

En virtud de lo expuesto, el Gobierno de México considera que la citada nota de Vuestra Excelencia de 25 del actual y esta respuesta constituyen el convenio a que se refiere el párrafo 16 del canje de notas del 19 de noviembre de 1941.

Aprovecho la oportunidad para renovar a Vuestra Excelencia las seguridades de mi más alta y distinguida consideración.

Sirs:—

Joint Report, 55 Stat. 1554.

Expropriation, and the exercise of the right of eminent domain, under the respective Constitutions and Laws of Mexico and the United States, are a recognized feature of the sovereignty of all modern States.

We have surveyed the works and lands involved and studied the records of the properties, rights and interests appertaining thereto and have mutually agreed that their value, as of March 18, 1938, should be fixed, in the sum of 23.995.991. ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ ₋ dollars, covering all elements of tangible and intangible value, allocated as follows:

[E. A. S. 431]

the establishment of an Agricultural Commission. Effected by exchange of notes signed at Mexico City January 6 and 27, 1944.
The American Ambassador to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs

Embassy of the
United States of America

No. 2180

Mexico, D.F., January 6, 1944

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to conversations which took place in Mexico City between the Minister of Agriculture and Fomento of the United Mexican States, Ingeniero Marte R. Gomez, and the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States of America, the Honorable Claude R. Wickard, on the occasion of the visit of the latter to Mexico in 1942, with reference to the mutual advantages to the economies of the two countries of close collaboration in the field of agriculture and with reference to the establishment of a permanent Mexican-United Agricultural Commission. These conversations have been supplemented by conversations between Your Excellency and myself and between this Embassy and the Minister of Agriculture and Fomento, Ingeniero Marte R. Gomez.

I now have the honor under instructions from my Government, formally to propose the establishment of a permanent Mexican-United States Agricultural Commission on the basis set forth below. As a result of the conversations which have taken place on this matter it is intended that this Commission would be a technical Commission and therefore composed of technicians in agriculture. In view of the fact that it is a technical commission which will occupy itself with agricultural programs of mutual interest to the two Governments, the Commission would function, of course, as a separate Commission and distinct from all others.

I should appreciate being informed by Your Excellency whether the proposals set forth below are agreeable to the Mexican Government.

1.

There is hereby established the Mexican-United States Agricultural

Mexican-United States Agricultural Commission, establishment.

Commission with a view to (a) coordinating the cooperative activities of the Departments of Agriculture of the two Governments already in operation, and (b) carrying into effect the recommendation of the Mexican-United States Commission for Economic Cooperation, established by the President of the United States and the President of Mexico in April 1943, that the Departments of Agriculture of the two countries take all appropriate steps to assure active and continuous cooperation.

58 Stat. 1426

Composition.

In a subsequent note, which will be addressed to Your Excellency in the very near future, I shall convey to Your Excellency further suggestions of my Government as to the composition and size of the Commission. It is the understanding of my Government that the Commission members shall have general technical competence in agriculture and be conversant with the resources, policies and programs of their respective Governments. The membership from each country should include the Agricultural Attaché stationed at the capital of the other country. One member of each country group will be designated as Chairman of his group and will serve as Co-Chairman of the Commission. Each member shall be authorized to designate an alternate.

 2.

General objective.

 The general objective of the Commission shall be to promote agriculture in Mexico and the United States along the lines mutually advantageous to the two countries, giving appropriate attention at the present time to developments that will make a maximum contribution to the common war effort but keeping primarily in view the longer term aspects of agricultural development in the future years of peace to come. (a) Review current and prospective agricultural problems and trends of mutual interest to the two countries, including matters relating to supplies of agricultural and food products and the facilities for their production, processing and handling, and to recommend from time to time specific undertakings for agricultural improvement in the interest of better utilization of agricultural resources. (b) Consider and report on general plans in respect to the production and procurement of agricultural products needed to supply the essential civilian, military and rehabilitation needs of the United Nations, and to that end consider and report on the general policies which shall govern the carrying-out of such plans.

I have the honor to refer to conversations which have taken place between officers of the Chinese Embassy and of the Department of State with respect to the application of the United States Selective

54 Stat. 885.

50 U. S. C. app. §§ 301–318; Supp. III, app. 302–315.

Ante, pp. 720, 798.

Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, to Chinese nationals residing in the United States.

As you are aware, the Act provides that with certain exceptions every male citizen of the United States and every other male person between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five, residing in the United States, shall register. The Act further provides that, with certain exceptions, registrants within specified age limits are liable for active military service in the United States armed forces.

This Government recognizes that from the standpoint of morale of the individuals concerned and the over-all military effort of the countries at war with the Axis Powers, it would be desirable to permit certain nationals of cobelligerent countries who have registered or who may register under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, to serve in the armed forces of their own country, should they desire to do so. It will be recalled that during the World War this Government signed conventions with certain associated powers on this subject. The United States Government believes, however, that under existing circumstances the same ends may now be accomplished through administrative action, thus obviating the delays incident to the signing and ratification of conventions.

Chinese nationals.

Induction procedure.

This Government is prepared, therefore, to initiate a procedure which will permit Chinese nationals who have registered under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, to elect to serve in the forces of their own country, in lieu of service in the armed forces of the United States, at any time prior to their induction into the armed forces of this country. This Government is also prepared to afford to Chinese nationals who may already be serving in the armed forces of the United States an opportunity of electing to transfer to the armed forces of their own country. Detailed arrangements for carrying out this agreement are to be worked out directly between the War Department and the Selective Service System on the part58 Stat. 1443 of the United States Government and the appropriate authorities of the Chinese Government. It should be understood, however, that in all cases a person exercising an option under the agreement must actually be accepted by the military authorities of his country.

Before the above-mentioned procedure will be made effective with

Stipulations to be agreed to by China.

regard to China, this Department wishes to receive a note stating that your Government desires to avail itself of the procedure and in so doing agrees that:

(a) No threat or compulsion of any nature will be exercised by the Chinese Government to induce any person in the United States to enlist in the forces of that Government or any foreign government; (b) Reciprocal treatment will be granted to American citizens by the Chinese Government; that is, prior to induction in the armed forces of China they will be granted the opportunity of electing to serve in the armed forces of the United States in substantially the same manner as outlined above. Furthermore, the Chinese Government shall agree to inform all American citizens serving in its armed forces or former American citizens who may have lost their citizenship as a result of having taken an oath of allegiance on enlistment in such armed forces and who are now serving in these forces that they may transfer to the armed forces of the United States provided they desire to do so and provided they are acceptable to the armed forces of the United States. (c) No enlistments will be accepted in the United States by the Chinese Government of American citizens subject to registration or of aliens of any nationality who have declared their intention of becoming American citizens and are subject to registration.

This Government is prepared to make the proposed regime effective immediately with respect to China upon the receipt from you of a note stating that your Government desires to participate in it and agrees to the stipulations set forth in lettered paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) above.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

I have the honor to refer to our conversations relative to a cooperative program of health and sanitation in the Republic of Panamá, with particular reference to resolution No. XXX approved at the Third Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics held at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in January, 1942.

If desired by the Government of Panamá, the Government of the United States is prepared to contribute a sum not to exceed one-half million dollars for a cooperative program of health and sanitation in Panamá, such sum to be made available through the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. The United States Government will also provide a group of experts in public health to cooperate with the officials of the Government of Panamá in the execution of the proposed program of health and sanitation.

It is understood that the Government of Panamá will furnish such personnel, services and funds for local expenditures as it may consider necessary for the efficient development of the program.

It is further understood that a special cooperative service of health and sanitation will be established within the appropriate ministry of the Government of Panamá and that the detailed arrangements for the establishment of such a special service will be effected by agreement between the appropriate official of the Government of Panamá and the representative of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs.

Allocation of United States funds for the purpose of this program will be made by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs which is an agency of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. Detailed arrangements for the execution of each project and for the expenditure of United States funds will be made by mutual agreement between a representative of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs in Panamá and the appropriate official of the Government of Panamá.

It is understood that the sum not to exceed one-half million dollars

All projects completed in the prosecution of this program will be the property of the Government of Panama.

No project will be undertaken that will require materials or supplies, the procurement of which would handicap any phase of the war effort.

I should appreciate it if Your Excellency would be so good as to confirm to me your approval of this general proposal with the understanding that the details of the program will be the subject of further discussion and agreements.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Señor Embajador:

Tengo la honra de acusar recibo de su Nota, fecha de hoy, en la que me comunica los términos de un Convenio de Transporte Aéreo entre el Gobierno Español y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América que ha sido acordado en las negociaciones actualmente concluidas entre ambos Gobiernos.

Los términos de dicho Acuerdo que V. E. me ha comunicado son los siguientes:

Ruta n° 2 Ruta de Nueva York por Lisboa a Madrid, continuando desde aquí a Argel y otros puntos más allá de éste, efectuándose el regreso por la misma ruta. Ruta n° 3 Ruta de Nueva York o Miami por América del Sur, Africa Occidental, Villa Cisneros y Marruecos Francés a Sevilla, Madrid y Barcelona, continuando desde aquí a París y otros puntos más allá de esta capital, efectuándose el regreso por la misma ruta. 2. – Las empresas de transporte aéreo de España podrán funcionar y recoger y dejar viajeros, carga y correo en tráfico internacional en el58 Stat. 1478 punto o puntos dentro del territorio sometido a la jurisdicción del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, que constituyan una ruta o rutas de importancia similar desde el punto de vista de la aviación a aquellas concedidas a los Estados Unidos y establecidas en este Acuerdo. El punto o puntos específicos de acceso se determinarán mediante negociación entre España y los Estados Unidos, de acuerdo con el Artículo IX de este Convenio, en el momento que el Gobierno español desee preparar la inauguración del servicio por una empresa española de transporte aéreo. b). Con sujeción a las condiciones establecidas en este Acuerdo, los requisitos de las licencias que cada Parte Contratante expida a favor de la empresa o empresas de transporte aéreo designadas por la otra Parte Contratante, los aspectos técnicos del funcionamiento y otros detalles pertinentes relacionados con la conducción de los servicios de transporte aéreo a que se refiere este Acuerdo, se determinarán por consulta directa entre las Autoridades aeronáuticas de cada Parte Contratante en cuanto sea factible. Las cuestiones que no entran dentro de las categorías mencionadas, se tramitarán conforme se especifica en el Artículo IX de este Acuerdo. c). Las aeronaves de una Parte Contratante que utilicen los aeropuertos públicos de la otra en cualquiera de las condiciones permitidas por este Acuerdo, tendrán derecho a usar asimismo dichos aeropuertos y a gozar de todas las facilidades de navegación aérea disponibles para el tráfico civil, en régimen nacional y de nación más favorecida.
Artículo II a). Cada Parte Contratante designará sus propias empresa o empresas de transporte aéreo que hayan de explotar los servicios para los que se hayan concedido derechos de acuerdo con el Artículo I a) de este Convenio. Cada Parte puede autorizar a una o más de sus empresas de transporte para que explote el servicio en cada una de las rutas para las cuales se han concedido derechos a dicha Parte de acuerdo con el Artículo I a). Cualquier permiso otorgado por una de las Partes a una empresa de transporte aéreo de la otra, de acuerdo con los términos de este Convenio, sólo será válido mientras el titular del mismo sea autorizado por su propio Gobierno para dedicarse a los servicios abarcados por dicho permiso. b). Las Altas Partes Contratantes podrán libremente y en cualquier momento sustituir a sus respectivas empresas designadas para la explotación del tráfico aéreo según el apartado a) del presente Artículo,subrogándose la nuevamente designada en todos los derechos y obligaciones de la sustituida. En ningún caso esta subrogación justificará por parte de la empresa sustituida la petición de indemnizaciones de ninguna clase o el ejercicio de acciones judiciales de cualquier orden, frente a la otra Parte Contratante. c). Cada una de las Altas Partes Contratantes se reserva el derecho de rehusar a una empresa de la otra Parte la concesión de un certificado o autorización, en el caso de que aparezca que una proporción importante de la propiedad o control de la misma se encuentra en manos58 Stat. 1479 de nacionales de un tercer país. Cuando se dé igual circunstancia después de haber concedido dicho certificado o autorización, la Parte que lo haya otorgado podrá revocarlo o someterlo a requisitos o limitaciones, a condición de que la revocación no se ordene ni se impongan los requisitos o limitaciones sin previa consulta a la otra Parte. d). Por lo menos dos semanas antes de iniciarse la explotación de los servicios objeto del presente Acuerdo, la empresa o empresas designadas por una de las Partes Contratantes notificará a las Autoridades competentes de la otra Paite los horarios, tarifas, condiciones generales de transporte y tipo de aeronaves que se proponen utilizar. Igual se procederá cuando los expresados datos tengan que sufrir alguna modificación.

Artículo V a). La importación o exportación de carburantes, lubricantes, piezas de recambio, motores, equipo y material en general destinados al uso exclusivo de las aeronaves o para el funcionamiento de las empresas de transporte aéreo de ambas Partes Contratantes, se verificará bajo el régimen de nación más favorecida respecto al pago de derechos de aduanas, de inspección y otros impuestos o cargas. b). El carburante y lubricantes, así como el equipo y pertrechos legítimos de a bordo de las aeronaves de cualquiera de las Partes Contratantes que lleguen al territorio de la otra y salgan del mismo, estarán exentos de los derechos de aduanas o cargas, incluso cuando los mencionados carburantes, lubricantes, equipo y pertrechos de a bordo sean utilizados por las aeronaves en vuelo sobre dicho territorio.
Artículo VI El tráfico aéreo comercial entre dos puntos que se encuentren sometidos a la soberanía o la jurisdicción nacional de una de las Partes Contratantes, queda reservado exclusivamente a la Parte que ejerza dicha soberanía o jurisdicción. Cada una de las Partes tendrá derecho al trato de nación más favorecida con respecto al transporte de dicho58 Stat. 1480 tráfico en el territorio de la otra Parte. A los efectos de este Convenio, se entenderá por soberanía o jurisdicción nacional el territorio nacional metropolitano, así como los territorios, posesiones y colonias distantes, y las aguas territoriales adyacentes a los mismos.

Si la infracción fuera de carácter grave, las Autoridades competentes tendrán derecho a solicitar la remoción del funcionario o funcionarios de la empresa designada que haya cometido la infracción. En caso de reincidencia calificada, se podrá reclamar la revocación de la empresa concesionaria.
Artículo IX En caso de que cualquiera de las Partes Contratantes juzgue conveniente revisar cualquiera de las rutas mencionadas en el Artículo I, puede pedir una consulta entre las Autoridades competentes de ambas Partes Contratantes, y esta consulta se iniciará dentro del plazo de 60 días contando desde la fecha de la petición. Si las mencionadas Autoridades establecieren de mutuo acuerdo condiciones nuevas o revisadas que afectasen al Artículo I de este Convenio, sus recomendaciones sobre el particular entrarán en vigor una vez hayan sido confirmadas por un Protocolo o Canje de Notas diplomáticas.
Artículo X a). Este Convenio entrará en vigor el 2 de Diciembre de 1944 y su vigencia subsistirá hasta que se denuncie según el procedimiento establecido en el apartado b) de este Artículo. b). Cualquiera de las Partes Contratantes podrá, en todo momento, comunicar por escrito a la otra Parte su deseo de dar fin al presente Convenio. Sólo podrá efectuarse dicha notificación tras una consulta celebrada entre ambas Partes durante un periodo no inferior a 90 días.

With the Ambassador’s note of May 19, 1943 there was enclosed an English text of a Memorandum of Agreement signed by the Ambassador for the Institute of Inter-American Affairs and by the Minister of Agriculture for the Republic of Peru. With the Minister’s note of May 20, 1943 there was enclosed a Spanish text of the Memorandum of Agreement, similarly signed.

In the Ambassador’s note of May 19, 1943, it was stated “that this exchange of notes constitutes the agreement for the establishment of the Inter-American Cooperative Food Production Service in Peru.” In the Memorandum of Agreement accompanying the exchange of notes it was stated as follows:

“Thirteenth—The present agreement will be for the duration of one year, continuing from the date of signature of the Note of Transmittal, and may be extended in the judgment of the contracting parties.”

It appears that the agreement of May 19, 1943 was approved on the part of the Government of Peru by Resolución Suprema 286, May 20, 1943. I am informed that no further action on the part of the Government of the United States of America was requisite.

In fulfillment of this commitment and in accordance with Resolution XXX of the Third Meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics at Rio de Janeiro, the Government of the United States, acting through the agency of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, is sending, upon your request, a small group of experts to Paraguay in the immediate future in order to develop a specific program in agreement with the Government of Paraguay. This group will be under the immediate direction of the Chief Medical Officer of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and will work in the closest cooperation with the appropriate Paraguayan officials. Approval for the actual execution of the specific projects agreed upon will be made by the respective Governments or their duly appointed agents upon recommendation of the Chief Medical Officer, acting in cooperation with the appropriate officials of the Paraguayan Government, or with appropriate officials designated by the Paraguayan Government for such projects as might be undertaken outside of the municipal areas of Asunción. Expenditures for such projects shall be made upon certification of the Chief Medical Officer and the appropriate Paraguayan official designated for the areas where projects will be executed.

The specific projects of interest to the Paraguayan Government include:

1. Improvement of existing water-supply system in Asunción and amplification of water-supply in accordance with availability of materials. 2. Improvement of sewerage in Asunción in accordance with availability of materials. 58 Stat. 1496 3. Provision for malaria control in areas where such control is needed as shall be agreed upon between the appropriate health officials of the Paraguayan Government and the chief medical officer provided by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. 4.

These projects upon completion will of course become the sole property of the Paraguayan Government. The United States Government will be prepared to facilitate such training of Paraguayan personnel as the two Governments may deem advisable.

The Paraguayan Government will, it is understood, be willing to provide, in accordance with its ability, such raw materials, services and funds as may be deemed necessary for the proper carrying out of the program.

No. 1719

Excellency:

I have the honor, at the instance of my Government and as a sequel to a communication of January 28, 1944, received in the Embassy from Dr. Luis E. Valcárcel, Director of the National Museum of Lima expressing the interest of that organization in obtaining the services of scientists of the Smithsonian Institution qualified in the field of anthropology, to state that the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institute is now prepared to cooperate with the appropriate Peruvian authorities in the conduct of anthropological research and investigation at Lima, Cuzco, and elsewhere under the general program of the Interdepartmental Committee on Cooperation with the American Republics. The purposes of the project in Peru would include the provision of university and field training for students in anthropology and geography, assistance in coordinating the efforts of collaborating scientists of Peru and the United States in carrying out long-range social science studies in selected areas, the provision of headquarters for field research where students from the American republics could obtain guidance and training in field work after the war, and the publication of research findings, et cetera.

In order to facilitate this proposed collaboration, should it be found acceptable to Your Excellency’s Government, there is transmitted a draft informal memorandum agreement for the consideration of the appropriate Peruvian authorities. In the event that the proposal is considered acceptable, Your Excellency’s reply to that effect would complete the agreement. It will not be necessary that the memorandum be signed.

It will be noted that the draft constitutes a proposal whereby the Governments of the two countries would agree to cooperate through the appropriate agencies for the accomplishment of certain broad objectives, on the understanding that whereas the obligations to be assumed by the Government of the United States would involve primarily the detail of qualified scientists to Peru from time to time, the manner in which the various phases of the cooperation would be carried out would be made the subject of separate projects to be approved by both Governments in advance of their execution.

58 Stat. 1519

Should the enclosed draft memorandum agreement prove acceptable to Your Excellency’s Government, I shall be glad, on being informed to that effect, to propose initial projects, involving the detail of personnel of the Smithsonian Institution, to be undertaken pursuant to the terms of the proposed memorandum agreement.

I avail myself of this occasion to extend to Your Excellency the renewed assurance of my highest consideration.

MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT

As a part of its program for cooperation with the other American republics, the Government of the United States through the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution, and the Government of Peru through such agencies as it may designate, agree to cooperate for the following purposes:

1. To provide university and field training for students in anthropology and geography that will serve to equip the trainees for teaching and research positions in Peru when a need for teachers so trained is acknowledged to exist by the cooperating agencies of the two Governments. 2. To assist in coordinating the efforts of collaborating scientists of Peru and the United States in carrying out long-range social science studies in selected areas to be chosen by joint agreement between the cooperating agencies of the two Governments. 3. In connection with field work, to solicit the cooperation of institutions not mentioned herein, when the necessity for specialized research is indicated. 4. To provide a headquarters for field research in anthropology and geography where students from the American Republics can obtain guidance and training in field work after the war. 5. To further scientific investigations in anthropology and geography as the occasion may arise. 6. To publish research findings under such auspices and in such forms and languages as in the opinion of the cooperating agencies of the two Governments may render them the most useful.

Whereas the obligations to be assumed by the Government of the United States through the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution would involve primarily the detail of qualified scientists to Peru from time to time to assist the cooperating Peruvian agencies, the manner in which the two Governments would58 Stat. 1520 cooperate in carrying out the various phases of the work would be the subject of separate proposals. Such proposals would include a description of the work to be performed, and a statement of the conditions under which it would be undertaken. Each proposal would also be brought to the attention of the Peruvian Government in advance for preliminary consideration, and no action would be taken except with the full approval of the Peruvian authorities.

This agreement shall come into effect on the day on which it is accepted by the Government of Peru, and shall continue in effect until June 30, 1948, or for an additional period if mutually agreed upon in writing, unless the Congress of either country shall fail to make available the funds necessary for its execution, in which case it may be terminated on sixty days’ advance written notice by the Government of either country.

Article XX. Fraudulent insurance.

The insured value may not exceed the actual value of the contents of the parcel, but it is permitted to insure only part of this value.

The fraudulent insurance of a parcel for a sum exceeding the actual value shall be subject to any legal proceedings which may be admitted by the laws of the country of origin.

A parcel of which the contents have no pecuniary value may, however, be insured for a nominal sum in order to obtain the safeguards of the insurance system.
Article XXI. Responsibility for loss, damage, or abstraction. 1.

Except in the cases mentioned in the following article, the two Administrations shall be responsible for the loss of insured parcels only, and for the loss, damage, or abstraction of their contents or of a part thereof.

Compensation.

compensation corresponding to the actual amount of the loss, damage or abstraction. The amount of compensation for an insured parcel shall not exceed the amount for which it was insured.

In cases where the loss, damage, or abstraction occurs in the service of the country of destination, the Administration of destination may pay compensation to the addressee at its own expense and without consulting the Administration of origin; provided that the addressee can prove that the sender has waived his rights in the addressee’s favor.

 2. In calculating the amount of compensation, indirect loss or loss of profits shall not be taken into consideration. 3. Compensation shall be calculated on the current price of goods of the same nature at the place and time at which the goods were accepted for transmission or, in the absence of current price, on the ordinary estimated value. 4. Where compensation is due for the loss, destruction, or complete

Return of postage on loss of parcel.

 damage of an insured parcel or for the abstraction of the whole of the contents, the sender is entitled to return of the postage also, if claimed. 58 Stat. 1528 5.

Retention of fees.

 In all cases, insurance fees and, if the case arises, the dispatch fee shall be retained by the Administrations concerned. 6.

Loss of transit In sured parcels.

 In the absence of special agreement to the contrary between the countries involved, which agreement may be made by correspondence, no indemnity will be paid by either country for the loss of transit insured parcels; that is, parcels originating in a country not participating in this Agreement and destined for one of the two contracting countries, or parcels originating in one of the two contracting countries and destined for a country not participating in this Agreement. 7.

Insured parcels re forwarded or returned to a third country.

 When an insured parcel originating in one country and destined to be delivered in the other country is reforwarded from there to a third country or is returned to a third country, at the request of the sender or of the addressee, the party entitled to the indemnity in case of loss, rifling, or damage occurring subsequent to the reforwarding or return of the parcel by the original country of destination can lay claim in such a case only to the indemnity which the country where the loss, rifling, or damage occurred consents to pay, or which that country is obliged to pay in accordance with the agreement made between the countries directly interested in the reforwarding or return. Either of the two countries signing the present Agreement which wrongly forwards an insured parcel to a third country is responsible to the sender to the same extent as the country of origin; that is, within the limits of the present Agreement.
Article XXII. Exceptions to the principle of responsibility. The two Administrations shall be released from all responsibility: (a) In cases beyond control (force majeure). (b) When, their responsibility not having been proved otherwise, they are unable to account for parcels in consequence of the destruction of official documents through a cause beyond control (force majeure). (c) When the damage has been caused by the fault or negligence of the sender, or when it arises from the nature of the article. (d) For parcels of which the contents fall under the ban of one of

Ante p. 1524.

the prohibitions mentioned in Article X. (e) For parcels which have been fraudulently insured for a sum exceeding the actual value of the contents, or for parcels seized by the Customs for false declaration of contents. (f) In respect of parcels regarding which the sender has not made inquiry within the period prescribed by Article XVIII. (g) In respect of any parcels containing precious stones, jewelry, or any article of gold, silver, or platinum exceeding $500 or £100 in value not packed in a box of the size prescribed by Article 6, Section

Ante p. 1534.

3, of the Detailed Regulations. (h) For parcels which contain matter of no intrinsic value or perishable matter, or which did not conform to the stipulations of this Agreement, or which were not posted in the manner prescribed;58 Stat. 1529 but the country responsible for the loss, rifling, or damage may pay indemnity in respect of such parcels without recourse to the other Administration.
Article XXIII. Termination of responsibility.

The two Administrations shall cease to be responsible for parcels which have been delivered in accordance with their internal regulations and of which the owners or their agents have accepted delivery without reservation.

Responsibility is, however, maintained when the addressee or, in case of return, the sender makes reservations in taking delivery of a parcel the contents of which have been abstracted or damaged.
Article XXIV. Payment of compensation. The payment of compensation shall be undertaken by the Administration of origin except in the cases indicated in Article XXI, Section 1, where payment is made by the Administration of destination.

Ante, p. 1527.

 The Administration of origin may, however, after obtaining the sender’s consent, authorize the Administration of destination to settle with the addressee. The paying Administration retains the right to make a claim against the Administration responsible.
Article XXV. Period for payment of compensation. 1. Compensation shall be paid as soon as possible and, at the latest, within one year from the day following the date of the inquiry. 2. The Administration responsible is authorized to settle with the claimant on behalf of the other Administration if the latter, after being duly informed of the application, has let nine months pass without giving a decision in the matter. 3. The Administration responsible for making payment may, exceptionally, postpone it beyond the period of one year when a decision has not yet been reached upon the question whether the loss, damage, or abstraction is due to a cause beyond control.
Article XXVI. Incidence of cost of compensation. 1. Until the contrary is proved, responsibility shall rest with the Administration which, having received the parcel from the other Administration without making any reservation and having been furnished with all the particulars for investigation prescribed by the regulations, cannot establish either proper delivery to the addressee or his agent, or other proper disposal of the parcel. 2. When the loss, rifling, or damage of an insured parcel is detected upon opening the receptacle at the receiving exchange office and after it has been regularly pointed out to the dispatching exchange office, the responsibility falls on the Administration to which the latter office58 Stat. 1530 belongs; unless it be proved that the irregularity occurred in the service of the receiving Administration. 3. If, in the case of a parcel dispatched from one of the two countries for delivery in the other, the loss, damage, or abstraction has occurred in course of conveyance without its being possible to prove in the service of which country the irregularity took place, the two Administrations shall bear the amount of compensation in equal shares. 4. By paying compensation, the Administration concerned takes over, to the extent of the amount paid, the rights of the person who has received compensation in any action which may be taken against the addressee, the sender, or a third party. 5. If a parcel which has been regarded as lost is subsequently found, in whole or in part, the person to whom compensation has been paid shall be informed that he is at liberty to take possession of the parcel against repayment of the amount paid as compensation.
Article XXVII. Repayment of compensation to the Administration of origin.

The Administration responsible or on whose account the payment

Ante, p. 1529.

is made in accordance with Article XXIV is bound to repay the amount of the compensation within a period of six months after notification of payment. The amount shall be recovered from the Administration

Post, p. 1539.

responsible through the accounts provided for in Article 21 of the Detailed Regulations.

The Administration which has been duly proved responsible and which has originally declined to pay compensation is bound to bear all the additional charges resulting from the unwarranted delay in payment.
Article XXVIII. Credits for conveyance.

For each parcel dispatched from one of the two countries for delivery in the other the dispatching office shall allow to the office of destination the rates which accrue to it by virtue of the provisions of

Ante, p. 1523;

Articles IV and V.

For each parcel dispatched from one of the two countries in transit through the other the dispatching office shall allow to the other office the rates due for the conveyance and insurance of the parcel.
Article XXIX. Claims in case of redirection or return. In case of redirection or of return of a parcel from one country to the other, the retransmitting Administration shall claim from the other Administration the charges due to it and to any other Administration taking part in the redirection or return. The claim shall be made on the parcel bill relating to the mail in which the parcel is forwarded.

The Postal Administrations of Palestine and of the United States of America shall provide the respective bags necessary for the dispatch of their parcels and each bag shall be marked to show the name of the office or country to which it belongs. 8. Bags must be returned empty to the dispatching office by the next mail. Empty bags to be returned are to be made up in bundles of ten, enclosing nine bags in one. The total number of bags returned shall be entered on the relative parcel bills. 9. Each Administration shall be required to make good the value of any bags which it fails to return.
Article 3. Information to be furnished. 1. Each Administration shall communicate to the other Administration all necessary information on points of detail in connection with the exchange of parcels between the two Administrations and also: (a) The names of the countries to which it can forward parcels handed over to it. (b) The routes available for transmission of the said parcels from the point of entry into its territory or into its service. (c) The total amount to be credited to it by the other Administration for each destination. (d) The number of customs declarations which must accompany each parcel. (e) Any other necessary information. 2. Each Administration shall make known to the other the names of the countries to which it intends to send parcels in transit through the other.
Article 4. Fixing of equivalents. In fixing the charges for parcels, either Administration shall be at liberty to adopt such approximate equivalents as may be convenient in its own currency.
Article 5. Make-up of parcels. Every parcel shall: (a) Bear the exact address of the addressee in roman characters. Addresses in pencil shall not be allowed except that parcels bearing addresses written with indelible pencil on a previously dampened58 Stat. 1534 surface shall be accepted. The address shall be written on the parcel itself or on a label so firmly attached to it that it cannot become detached. The sender of a parcel shall be advised to enclose in the parcel a copy of the address together with a note of his own address. (b)

Be packed in a manner adequate for the length of the journey and for the protection of the contents.

Articles liable to injure postal employees or to damage other parcels shall be so packed as to prevent any risk.
Article 6. Special packing. 1. Liquids and substances which easily liquefy shall be packed in two receptacles. Between the first receptacle (bottle, flask, pot, box, etc.) and the second (box of metal or of stout wood, or strong fiberboard of equal strength) shall be left a space which shall be filled with sawdust, bran, or some other absorbent material in sufficient quantity to absorb all the liquid contents in the case of breakage. 2. Dry coloring powders such as aniline blue, etc., shall be admitted only if enclosed in stout metal boxes placed inside wooden boxes with sawdust between the two receptacles. 3. Every parcel containing precious stones, jewelry, or any article of gold, silver, or platinum exceeding $500 or £100 in value shall be packed in a box measuring not less than 3 feet 6 inches (1.05 meters) in length and girth combined.
Article 7. Dispatch notes and customs declarations. 1. Each parcel shall be accompanied by a dispatch note and by a set of customs declarations according to the regulations of the country of destination. The customs declarations and dispatch notes relating to parcels sent to the United States of America shall be firmly attached to the parcels; the customs declarations relating to parcels sent to Palestine shall be firmly attached to the dispatch notes and these in turn must be firmly attached to the parcels. 2. Nevertheless, a single dispatch note and a single set of customs declarations may suffice for two or three (but not more) ordinary parcels posted at the same time by the same sender to the same addressee. This provision shall not apply to insured parcels. 3. The two Administrations accept no responsibility in respect of the accuracy of customs declarations.
Article 8. Advice of delivery. 1. Insured parcels for which the senders ask an advice of delivery shall be very prominently marked “Advice of Delivery” or “A. R.” 2. Such parcels shall be accompanied by a form similar to that annexed to the Detailed Regulations of the Convention of the Universal Postal Union. This advice of delivery form shall be prepared58 Stat. 1535 by the office of origin or by any other office appointed by the Administration of origin and shall be firmly attached to the dispatch note of the parcel to which it relates in the case of parcels sent to Palestine, and to the parcels to which it relates in the case of parcels sent to the United States of America. If it does not reach the office of destination, that office shall make out officially a new advice of delivery form. 3. The office of destination, after having duly filled out the form, shall return it by ordinary post, unenclosed, and free of postage to the address of the sender of the parcel. 4. When the sender makes inquiry concerning an advice of delivery which has not been returned to him after a reasonable interval, action shall be taken in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 9 following. In that case a second fee shall not be charged, and the office of origin shall enter the words “Duplicate advice of delivery” at the top of the form.
Article 9. Advice of delivery applied for after posting.

When the sender applies for an advice of delivery after an insured parcel has been posted, the office of origin or any other office appointed by the Administration of origin shall fill up an advice of delivery form and shall attach it to a form of inquiry.

The form of inquiry accompanied by the advice of delivery form shall be treated according to the provisions of Article 18 below, with the single exception that, in the case of the due delivery of the parcel, the office of destination shall withdraw the form of inquiry and shall return the advice of delivery form in the manner prescribed in paragraph 3 of the preceding article.
Article 10. Indication of insured value. Every insured parcel and the relative dispatch note shall bear an indication of the insured value in the currency of the country of origin. The indication on the parcel shall be both in words and in figures. The amount of the insured value shall be converted into gold francs by the Administration of origin. The result of the conversion shall be indicated distinctly by new figures placed beside or below those representing the amount of the insured value in the currency of the country of origin.
Article 11. Insurance numbers, labels, seals.

Every insured parcel and its dispatch note as well shall bear on the address side, an insurance number and a small red label with the words “Insured” or “Valeur déclarée” in large letters, or these words shall be marked or stamped on the parcel and the dispatch note.

The wax or other seals, the labels of whatever kind and any postage stamps affixed to insured parcels shall be so spaced that they58 Stat. 1536 cannot conceal injuries to the cover. Moreover, the labels and postage stamps, if any, shall not be folded over two sides of the cover so as to hide the edge.
Article 12. Sealing of parcels.

Ordinary parcels may be sealed at the option of the senders, or careful tying is sufficient as a mode of closing.

Every insured parcel shall be sealed by means of wax or by lead or other seals, the seals being sufficient in number to render it impossible to tamper with the contents without leaving an obvious trace of violation. Either Administration may require a special design or mark of the sender on the sealing of insured parcels mailed in its service, as a means of protection.

The Customs Administration of the country of destination is authorized to open the parcels. To that end, the seals or other fastenings may be broken. Parcels opened by the Customs must be refastened and also officially resealed.

The senders of insured parcels shall be strongly recommended to furnish the relative dispatch note, whenever possible, with an exact reproduction of the seal referred to above.
Article 13. Indication of weight of insured parcels. The exact weight in grams or in pounds and ounces of each insured parcel shall be entered by the Administration of origin: (a) On the address side of the parcel. (b) On the dispatch note, in the place reserved for this purpose.
Article 14. Place of posting. Each parcel and the relative dispatch note as well shall bear the name of the office and the date of posting.
Article 15. Retransmission.

The Administration retransmitting a missent parcel shall not levy customs or other non-postal charges upon it.

When an Administration returns such a parcel to the country from which it has been directly received, it shall refund the credits received and report the error by means of a verification note.

In other cases, and if the amount credited to it is insufficient to cover the expenses of retransmission which it has to defray, the retransmitting Administration shall allow to the Administration to which it forwards the parcel the credits due for onward conveyance; it shall then recover the amount of the deficiency by claiming it from the office of exchange from which the missent parcel was directly received. The reason for this claim shall be notified to the latter by means of a verification note.

 58 Stat. 1537 2. When a parcel has been wrongly allowed to be dispatched in consequence of an error attributable to the postal service and has, for this reason, to be returned to the country of origin, the Administration which sends the parcel back shall allow to the Administration from which it was received the sums credited in respect of it. 3. The charges on a parcel redirected, in consequence of the removal of the addressee or of an error on the part of the sender, to a country with which Palestine or the United States of America has parcel-post communication shall be claimed from the Administration to which the parcel is forwarded; unless the charge for conveyance is paid at the time of redirection, in which case the parcel shall be dealt with as if it had been addressed directly from the retransmitting country to the new country of destination. In case the third country to which the parcel is forwarded refuses to assume the charges because they cannot be collected from the sender or the addressee, as the case may be, or for any other reason, they shall be charged back to the country of origin. 4. A parcel which is redirected shall be retransmitted in its original packing and shall be accompanied by the original dispatch note. If the parcel, for any reason whatsoever, has to be repacked or if the original dispatch note has to be replaced by a substitute note, the name of the office of origin of the parcel and the original serial number and, if possible, the date of posting at that office shall be entered both on the parcel and on the dispatch note.
Article 16. Return of undeliverable parcels. 1. If the sender of an undeliverable parcel has made a request not provided for by Article XIV, Section 1, of the Agreement, the Administration of destination need not comply with it but may return the parcel to the country of origin, after retention for the prescribed period. 2. The Administration which returns a parcel to the sender shall indicate clearly and concisely on the parcel and on the relative dispatch note the cause of nondelivery. This information may be furnished in manuscript or by means of a stamped impression or a label. The original dispatch note belonging to the returned parcel must be sent back to the country of origin with the parcel. 3. A parcel to be returned to the sender shall be entered on the parcel bill with the word “Rebut” in the “Observations” column. It shall be dealt with and charged like a parcel redirected in consequence of the removal of the addressee.
Article 17. Sale. Destruction. When an insured parcel has been sold or destroyed in accordance with the provisions of Article XVI of the Agreement, a report of the

Ante, p. 1528.

 sale or destruction shall be prepared, a copy of which shall be transmitted to the Administration of origin.
58 Stat. 1538
Article 18. Inquiries concerning parcels. For inquiries concerning parcels which have not been returned, a form shall be used similar to the specimen annexed to the Detailed Regulations of the Parcel Post Agreement of the Universal Postal Union. These forms shall be forwarded to the offices appointed by the two Administrations to deal with them and they shall be dealt with in the manner mutually arranged between the two Administrations.
Article 19. Parcel bills. 1. Separate parcel bills must be prepared for the ordinary parcels on the one hand and for the insured parcels on the other hand. The parcel bills are prepared in duplicate. The original is sent in the regular mails, while the duplicate is enclosed in one of the bags. The bag containing the parcel bill is designated with the word “Bill” conspicuously marked on the label. 2. Ordinary parcels sent to Palestine shall be entered on the parcel bills to show their total number according to the following divisions of weight: (a) up to 1 kilogram, (b) from 1 to 3 kilograms, (c) from 3 to 5 kilograms, and (d) from 5 to 10 kilograms. Ordinary parcels sent to the United States shall be entered on the parcel bills to show the total number of parcels and the total net weight thereof. 3. Insured parcels, sent from either country shall be entered individually on the parcel bills to show the insurance number and the name of the office of origin. In the case of insured parcels for the United States of America, the total net weight of the parcels must also be shown; in the case of insured parcels for Palestine, the divisions of weight must be shown the same as in the case of ordinary parcels. 4. Parcels sent à découvert must be entered separately. 5. In the case of returned or redirected parcels the word “Returned” or “Redirected”, as the case may be, must be entered on the bill against the individual entry. A statement of the charges which may be due on these parcels should be shown in the “Observations” column. 6. The total number of bags comprising each dispatch must also be shown on the parcel bill. 7. Each dispatching office of exchange shall number the parcel bills in the top left-hand corner in an annual series for each office of exchange of destination and, as far as possible, shall enter below the number the name of the ship conveying the mail. A note of the last. number of the year shall be made on the first parcel bill of the following year.
Article 20. Check by offices of exchange. Notification of irregularities. 1. On receipt of a mail, whether of parcels or of empty bags, the office of exchange shall check the parcels and the various documents58 Stat. 1539 which accompany them, or the empty bags as the case may be, against the particulars entered on the relative parcel bill and, if necessary, shall report missing articles or other irregularities by means of a verification note. 2. Any discrepancies in the credits and accounting shall be notified to the dispatching office of exchange by verification note. The accepted verification notes shall be attached to the parcel bills to which they relate. Corrections made on parcel bills not supported by vouchers shall not be considered valid.
Article 21. Accounting for credits. 1. Each Administration shall cause each of its offices of exchange to prepare monthly for all the parcel mails dispatched to it during the month by each of the offices of exchange of the other Administration a statement of the total amounts entered on the parcel bills, whether to its credit or to its debit. 2. These statements shall be afterwards summarized by the same Administrations in quarterly accounts which, accompanied by the parcel bills relating thereto, shall be forwarded to the corresponding Administration in the course of the quarter following that to which it relates. 3. The recapitulation, transmission, examination, and acceptance of these accounts must not be delayed. After acceptance, the accounts shall be summarized in a quarterly general account prepared by the Administration to which the balance is due and payment of the balance shall take place, at the latest, at the expiration of the following quarter. After expiration of this term, the sums due from one Administration to the other shall bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum to be reckoned from the date of expiration of the said term. The balance due must be paid by sight draft drawn on New York, or by some other means mutually agreed upon by correspondence.
Article 22. Entry into force and duration of the Detailed Regulations.

The present Detailed Regulations shall come into force on the day on which the Parcel Post Agreement comes into force and shall have the same duration as the Agreement. The Administrations concerned shall, however, have the power by mutual consent to modify the details from time to time.

[E. A. S. 441]

 a health and sanitation program. Effected by exchange of notes signed at Washington May 9 and 11, 1942.
The Under Secretary of State to the Peruvian Minister of Finance and Commerce

Department of State Washington

May 9, 1942

My dear Mr. Minister:

I refer to the notes exchanged between the Governments of the United States and Peru on April 23, 1942 [1]1[Not printed.] on rubber development in the Peruvian Amazon in which rubber development is to be carried forward. If it is the desire of the Government of Peru to carry out health and sanitation work in connection with the production of rubber in this area, the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs is prepared to send at once to Peru, on your request, in cooperation with the appropriate officials of the Peruvian Government and its health services such experts as your Government desires in order to collaborate in developing and executing a specific health and sanitation program. This program would be initially designed for the Amazon Basin area for the special purpose of aiding in the stimulation of rubber production, but at the desire of the Government of Peru could be extended to other areas.

For these purposes this Government, through the agency of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, will provide an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 to be expended toward the development of this health and sanitation program.

It is understood that the Government of Peru will furnish such expert personnel, materials, services, and funds for local expenditures as it may be able to or consider necessary for the efficient development of the program.

The group of United States medical and sanitation experts which the Peruvian Government requests to be sent by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs shall be under the direction of the chief medical officer of the health and sanitation field party of the Coordinator’s Office, who, in turn, will be under the supervision of the appropriate officials of the Peruvian Government.

Detailed arrangements for the execution of each project shall be discussed and agreed to between the chief medical officer and the appropriately designated official of the Peruvian Government. Technical advice and expert assistance of the United States medical and sanitation specialists will be made available to the appropriate Peruvian authorities at any time that the need for consultation arises.

58 Stat. 1544

I understand that the Government of Peru would be particularly interested in continuing and expanding the measures and services which the health and sanitation agencies of the Government of Peru have been carrying out in the areas in question. These measures and services may be included under the following general headings:

1. Malaria control. 2. Yellow fever control. 3. General disease control by hospitals, clinics, and public education. 4. Water-supply systems. 5. Sewage systems. 6. Garbage and rubbish disposal.

It is contemplated that projects to be executed will be planned in conformity with availability of materials and that no projects will be initiated without reasonable expectation that they can be successfully completed in sufficient time to assist in the development of rubber production in the Amazon area.

All projects completed in accordance with the present arrangement will of course be the property of the Government of Peru.

I would appreciate it if you could confirm to me your approval of this general proposal, with the understanding that the details of the program will be the subject of further discussion and agreement.

Sincerely yours,

Sumner Welles Under Secretary

His Excellency

David Dasso,

Minister of Finance and Commerce of Peru.

My dear Under Secretary:

I take pleasure in acknowledging receipt of your note of May 9th outlining the program of health and sanitation work in connection with the production of rubber in the Peruvian Montana. You state therein that your Government, through the Agency of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, will provide an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 to be expended in this work which would be carried out with the cooperation of my Government who in turn will furnish such expert personnel, materials, services and funds for local expenditure as may be necessary for the efficient development of the program.

I am in full agreement with what you state in your note and want now to express to you the formal acceptance of your offer of such a valuable help in carrying out this most important work. As soon as I arrive in Lima steps will be taken in order that the appropriate officials of the Peruvian Government get in touch with the Office of the 58 Stat. 1545Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs so that detailed arrangements can be made for the execution of this program and of each of the projects to be carried out under it.

Taking this as yet another proof of the extent of the cooperation which our two Governments are mutually desirous of extending ever further, allow me to express to you the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

[E. A. S. 442]

Agreement between the United States of America and Colombia respecting procurement of strategic materials. Effected by exchange of notes signed at Bogotá March 29, 1943.
The Colombian Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs to the American Ambassador

Ministerio de
Relacions Exteriores

Bogotá, marzo 29 de 1943

N° CM–336.–

Señor Embajador:

Tengo el honor de comunicar a Vuestra Excelencia que el Gobierno de Colombia en el deseo de aumentar su contribución a la defensa del hemisferio y teniendo en cuenta la Resolución XV de la Habana, aprobada por la Ley de la República número 20 de 1941, y las recomendaciones adoptadas por la Conferencia de Cancilleres de Río de Janeiro sobre materiales estratégicos, está dispuesto a facilitar en su territorio la explotación y producción de tales materiales, sobre las siguientes bases:

I. El Gobierno de Colombia hará accesibles al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, o a las entidades oficiales respectivas de dicho Gobierno, todos los materiales estratégicos o materias primas básicas necesarios para la defensa del hemisferio, que se encuentren en baldíos de su propiedad. La explotación y producción de tales elementos se efectuará de acuerdo con las disposiciones legales vigentes sobre la materia. II. El Gobierno de Colombia tomará las medidas necesarias para asegurar la exportación exclusivamente a los Estados Unidos de América de los materiales estratégicos o materias primas básicas que se encuentren en terrenos de propiedad privada o se produzcan por particulares. Dicha exportación podrá efectuarse por conducto de las agencias del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, en Colombia, o directamente por los interesados. Lo anterior no implica concesión a ninguna entidad o persona del derecho exclusivo de explotación, producción, compra, venta, transporte o comercio de tales elementos o productos dentro del territorio de la República. III. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América comunicará periódicamente y en forma confidencial al de Colombia las listas de productos que considere materias primas básicas o materiales estratégicos para los efectos del presente acuerdo. El Gobierno de Colombia se reserva el derecho de fijar, de acuerdo con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos y cuando lo considere conveniente en vista de las condiciones de la producción y del mercado interno, los precios mínimos a que las agencias de los Estados Unidos en Colombia comprarán determinados artículos a sus productores o propietarios. En tales casos, los dos Gobiernos determinarán de común acuerdo la fecha desde la cual se 58 Stat. 1547harán efectivos dichos precios mínimos. Queda entendido que mientras se fijan precios mínimos para un determinado producto, en virtud de lo convenido en el presente punto, las agencias de los Estados Unidos en Colombia podrán adquirir ese producto a los precios corrientes del mercado, sin perjuicio de reconocer a los vendedores las diferencias de precio cuandoquiera que la fecha para la vigencia de dichos precios mínimos se fije retroactivamente. IV. El Gobierno de Colombia se reserva el derecho de retener aquellas cantidades de materiales estratégicos o materias primas básicas que a su juicio sean esenciales para satisfacer las necesidades mínimas de su consumo interno y tomará las medidas conducentes a evitar la indebida acumulación de tales productos por parte de los productores, propietarios o intermediarios privados. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, con el fin de elaborar sus cálculos sobre las posibilidades de a provisionarse de ciertos productos, podrá solicitar del de Colombia informes periódicos sobre las cantidades de tales productos que sean esenciales para su consumo interno en un espacio determinado de tiempo. V. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América o sus agentes podrán construir, previo acuerdo con el Gobierno de Colombia, todas las obras necesarias para el fomento de la producción y el transporte de los elementos a que se refiere el presente arreglo. El Gobierno de Colombia pondrá a la disposición del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos o de sus agentes los terrenos y los materiales de su propiedad que se requieran para la construcción de tales obras, las cuales quedarán bajo la dirección exclusiva de las agencias respectivas del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Es entendido que una vez concluidas las actividades de exploración, explotación y transporte que hayan de adelantar el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos o sus agentes, las obras permanentes ejecutadas en los terrenos suministrados por el Gobierno de Colombia pasarán a ser de su propiedad exclusiva dentro de los términos y de acuerdo con las condiciones que se convengan en cada caso concreto, y los equipos e instalaciones móviles de propiedad del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos podrán ser reexportados libremente y sin gravamen alguno. Si a la terminación de los trabajos de exploración, explotación o transporte, el Gobierno de Colombia estuviere interesado en la adquisición de tales equipos o instalaciones móviles, los dos Gobiernos estudiarán la posibilidad de tal adquisición y convendrán las condiciones en que haya de efectuarse. Las dependencias correspondientes del Gobierno de Colombia acordarán con las agencias respectivas del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos los planes para la ejecución de dichas obras y las condiciones en que ellas se efectuarán y tomarán las medidas administrativas necesarias para asegurar su realización; reglamentarán, asimismo de común acuerdo, el uso oficial y particular de tales obras en forma que no interfiera con la prosecución de los fines primordiales a que se destinen. Las obligaciones que asuma en desarrollo de este punto cualquier agencia autorizada del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos o cualquier dependencia administrativa del Gobierno de Colombia, obligarán a los Gobiernos respectivos. VI. El personal técnico y administrativo que empleen el Gobierno 58 Stat. 1548de los Estados Unidos de América o sus agentes en Colombia en desarrollo del presente arreglo tanto en sus oficinas como en sus agencias y explotaciones, será preferentemente de nacionalidad colombiana o estadinense. Para asegurar el acuerdo entre ambas partes en este particular, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América hará conocer previamente al Gobierno de Colombia, los nombres y cargos de las personas que proyecte emplear con la indicación del lugar en que han de ejercer sus funciones. VII. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América o sus agentes, en desarrollo de las actividades a que se refiere el presente arreglo, otorgarán al personal colombiano que empleen las seguridades y prestaciones sociales que establece la ley colombiana y se harán caigo de los gastos de movilización de ida y regreso de los obreros o grupos de obreros contratados en regiones distintas de aquellas en que vayan a actuar. VIII. El Gobierno de Colombia concederá al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América o a sus agentes la exención de derechos de aduana y demás impuestos nacionales, departamentales o municipales sobre los elementos que importen al país con el fin de estimular la explotación o producción de los materiales a que se refiere el presente arreglo, a saber: a) Herramientas, maquinarias y plantas destinadas a la explotación y producción de tales materiales; b) Herramientas y maquinarias destinadas a la construcción de las obras que hayan de ejecutar de acuerdo con el punto V; c) Drogas y alimentos en conserva destinados a los establecimientos de explotación o producción en regiones apartadas; d) Medios de transporte, tales como vehículos automotores, embarcaciones, etc., necesarios para el desarrollo de las actividades a que se refiere el presente arreglo; e) Armas menores y municiones destinadas a la caza y utilizables para la defensa del personal en regiones apartadas, de acuerdo con las disposiciones vigentes sobre la materia y, cuando fuere el caso, previa la autorización del Ministerio de Guerra; y f) Cualesquiera otros elementos que no se encuentren en Colombia y que sean necesarios para el desarrollo de las actividades a que se refiere el presente arreglo.

 58 Stat. 1555 memorandum agreement

At the request of the Mexican Government, Mr. Milton J. Lindner, an expert of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States Department of the Interior, was assigned to Mexico for varying periods during the years 1940 and 1941 for the purpose of conducting preliminary marine fishery surveys and formulating plans for a detailed scientific study of marine fishery problems. The preliminary investigation

having been completed, it is now proposed that a more comprehensive cooperative study of the marine fisheries of Mexico be undertaken by the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Mexican Department of Fisheries, subject to the following understanding:

It shall be the general objective of the cooperative study to formulate

General objective.

through biological and statistical research a plan for the administration, regulation, and scientific management of the shrimp and other marine fisheries of Mexican waters which will serve to increase the fishery food supply and protect it against depletion, increase the efficiency of fishing operations, and improve the livelihood of those engaged in the fishing enterprise.

To accomplish this objective the Fish and Wildlife Service proposes

Detail of technical expert proposed.

to detail a technical expert to Mexico at various intervals over a period of two years to assist the local authorities in conducting and supervising field investigations. The investigations will include a study of the

Field Investigations.

life history, distribution, abundance, and migration of commercial shrimp and such other important marine fishery products as time and facilities will permit; collection and analysis of statistics of commercial production of the fishing industry; and a study of present fishing methods with a view to devising means for their improvement both in the interest of economy and efficiency of operation ; and a study of the best means of conserving fishery resources, consistent with advantageous economic utilization.

It is understood that exhaustive studies will not have been completed at the end of the two year period, but it is expected that sufficient data will have been obtained at that time to make it possible to formulate plans for fishery administration and regulation, and provide sufficient training for Mexican fishery workers to enable them to carry on the permanent biological and statistical studies that continuously should accompany commercial fishing activities in the interest of scientific management and conservation.

The Government of the United States will make available to the

Reports.

Mexican Government, from time to time, reports on the progress of the investigations, and as soon as possible after conclusion of the two year study will submit a comprehensive report covering:

(a) The Scientific data obtained and the biological conclusions reached concerning the shrimp and other marine fishery resources of Mexican waters; (b) Suggestions for the administration, development and management of the Mexican marine fishery resources in the interest of conservation and economic utilization; and (c) A summary of the nature and scope of continuing studies and 58 Stat. 1556statistical compilations that should be undertaken by the Mexican Government as permanent activities to parallel the actual operations of the fishing industry.

Following

Outline of proposed plan.

is an outline of the plan under which the Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to cooperate with the Department of Fisheries of Mexico:

1. The Fish and Wildlife Service will assign to Mexico Mr. Milton J. Lindner, an aquatic biologist of its Division of Fishery Biology who is already known to the Mexican authorities, to assist in planning and directing the proposed studies, his services to be rendered on a part-time basis covering a period of approximately six months of each of two consecutive years. 2. The Fish and Wildlife Service will pay Mr. Lindner’s salary and other expenses during the entire period of his services. 3.– The Fish and Wildlife Service will provide, for the duration of the studies, part-time clerical assistance, for Mr. Lindner; pay expenses incident to the annual rental, furnishing, equipment and supplies for an office and laboratory in Mexico City, or elsewhere in Mexico; and defray all expenses incident to communication services and the transportation of supplies, equipment and scientific materials. 4. The Fish and Wildlife Service will also loan for the duration of the studies such supplies, equipment, books, or other materials as it may now have available for that purpose. 5. It is proposed that the Government of Mexico assign three assistants for the shrimp investigations and pay their salaries and travel and subsistence expenses, and that additional personnel be provided if studies of other fisheries are undertaken simultaneously. Persons already employed by the Mexican Department of Fisheries or persons familiar with the marine fisheries and possessing training in biology shall be given preference for these assignments, and it is suggested that they be selected with a view to their future employment by the Department of Fisheries to carry out the recommendations made at the end of the two year study. 6. It is proposed that the Government of Mexico provide suitable office and laboratory facilities and equipment for the investigation at Guaymas, Sonora; that funds be made available for the charter, when needed, of a small vessel for off-shore studies at an estimated annual cost of about 2,500 pesos; and that approximately 5,000 pesos be set aside for miscellaneous scientific equipment, and miscellaneous fishing equipment and supplies (including 2,500 pesos for shrimp pins and tags which have already been ordered by the Mexican Government), 7. The expenses incident to the obligations mentioned in Items 5 and 6, shall be paid directly by the Mexican Government. 58 Stat. 1557 The American Ambassador to the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs

However, as it is possible that during the next two years Mr. Lindner’s services may be required for temporary periods outside of Mexico, the Department suggests that the appropriate part of the above paragraph be amended to read as follows:

“. . . his services to be rendered on a full time basis, with the exception of possible assignments of nominal length only outside of Mexico.”

 58 Stat. 1563

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service had intended, up to a recent date, to assign Mr. Smyth elsewhere but, in view of the assistance he will be able to render here in connection with the proposed Méxican farm pond program and other activities in connection with fresh water fisheries in Mexico, the appropriate American authorities desire and agree that his present assignment be continued.

The Embassy suggests that the eventual agreement of the Mexican Government to the above suggested amendment and to the extension of the amended agreement for a period of two years be effected by the completion of this exchange of communications between the Embassy and the Ministry, it being understood, of course, that the commitment thus undertaken is subject to the availability of appropriated funds after June 30, 1945 and subsequent fiscal years.

The Embassy avails itself of the opportunity to renew to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs the assurances of its highest consideration.

No. 399

Sir,

Under instructions from my Government, I have the honour to refer to recent discussions with respect to the post-war disposition of defence projects, installations and facilities built or provided in Canada by the Government of the United States. This matter was the subject of a recommendation of the Canada — United States Permanent Joint Board on Defence, adopted on January 13, 1943, and subsequently embodied in an Exchange of Notes dated January 27,

57 Stat. 1429.

1943.

After further study, and in the light of experience in connection with specific agreements already reached, it appeared desirable to the Board to amend its earlier recommendation and to make the revised recommendation applicable to all projects, disposition of which remains unsettled. Accordingly, on September 7, 1944, the Board adopted the following recommendation:

“The Permanent Joint Board on Defence recommends that the following formula be applied to the disposition of all defence facilities constructed or provided in Canada by the United States (and mutatis mutandis to any defence facilities constructed or provided in the United States by Canada) which have hot already been dealt with.

Immovables A—The Government of the United States shall, within three months from the date of the approval of this Recommendation, supply the Government of Canada with a list of immovables (hereinafter referred to as facilities) which it desires to make subject to the provisions of this Recommendation. B—

In the case of each of the facilities included in the list referred to in A, the Canadian Government and the United States Government will each appoint one qualified appraiser whose joint duty it will be to appraise such facility in order to determine the fair market value thereof at the time and place of appraisal If the two appraisers cannot agree on the fair market value, they will select a third appraiser to determine this value. The amount set by the appraisers shall be paid to the United States Government by the Government of Canada,

provided that the foregoing paragraphs A and B shall not apply to any facilities heretofore specifically provided for;

 58 Stat. 1566 C—Any existing facility not included in the United States list shall, within one year after the cessation of hostilities, be relinquished, without cost, to the Crown either in the right of Canada or in the right of the Province in which the same or any part thereof lies, as may be appropriate under Canadian law. Movables A—The Government of the United States shall remove from Canada all those items which it desires. B—The Government of Canada shall arrange through the appropriate governmental agencies for the purchase from the United States of such remaining items as it desires to obtain for its own use or disposition. C—

All other movables shall be transferred to a designated agency of the Canadian Government and shall be sold or disposed of by such agency, the proceeds to be paid to the Government of the United States,

provided that, in connection with the items referred to in paragraph C, the United States Government shall be represented by an officer designated by it for that purpose, who shall have an equal voice in the setting of prices, the allocation of priorities, the assessment of legitimate sales costs and other details of the sale or other disposal of the items concerned;

and provided further that any such items remaining unsold at the end of two years from the time they are transferred to the Canadian agency concerned shall either be declared of no value and the account closed or, at the option of the United States, shall be removed from Canada by the United States authorities.”

I have been directed to inform you that this recommendation has been approved by the Government of Canada, subject to the following proviso:

“That, as there are certain facilities whose disposal would entail expenses such as custody and demolition, any expense of such a character would be taken into consideration in the final accounting.”

and to propose that, if the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of the United States, this note and your reply thereto shall be regarded as placing on record the understanding arrived at between the two Governments concerning this matter.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Excellency:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note no. 399, November 22, 1944, referring to recent discussions on the disposition of defense projects, installations and facilities built or provided in Canada by the Government of the United States and informing me of the approval by the Canadian Government of the 33rd Recommendation of the Permanent Joint Board on Defense, United States and Canada on this subject. The 33rd Recommendation amends and supersedes the 28th Recommendation of the Board which was embodied in the exchange of notes of January 27, 1943.

57 Stat. 1429.

The United States Government has been pleased to observe that, pursuant to the 28th Recommendation specific agreements have already been reached covering the disposition of the major defense projects constructed by the United States in Canada. It is considered that the current Recommendation of the Board is suitable for application to all projects, disposition of which remains unsettled and I am glad, therefore, to inform you that the Government of the United States approved the 33rd Recommendation on November 11, 1944.

It is noted that the Canadian Government’s approval is subject to the following proviso:

“That, as there are certain facilities whose disposal would entail expenses such as custody and demolition, any expense of such a character would be taken into consideration in the final accounting.”

In accepting the Canadian Government’s proviso to the 33rd Recommendation,

Acceptance of proviso.

I believe it useful to mention that it is understood by this Government from an explanatory memorandum kindly furnished by the Canadian authorities that expenses of custody and demolition will be taken into account by the appraisers and will through their findings be reflected in the final accounting.

In conclusion I may state that the United States Government accepts the proposal that your note under reference and this reply shall be regarded as placing on record the understanding arrived at between the two Governments on this matter.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

I have the honor to refer to the notes exchanged between the Ambassador of the United States of America to Bolivia and the Minister

of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia on July 15, and July 16, 1942, and the subsequent exchange of letters and the memoranda of agreement between the Institute of Inter-American Affairs and the Bolivian Ministry of Labor, Public Health and Social Welfare on July 15, 1942, [11[Not printed.]] and on subsequent occasions, relative to the cooperative health and sanitation program provided for by Resolution XXX approved at the Third Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics held in Rio de Janeiro in January, 1942. In accordance with the communications under reference, the United States of America has agreed to make available a sum not to exceed one million (U.S.$1,000,000) dollars for the cooperative health and sanitation program which is now being carried out in Bolivia.

If desired by the Government of Bolivia, the Government of the United States of America, through the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, a Division of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and an Agency of the Government of the United States of America, is prepared to make available an additional sum of $500,000 for the purpose of continuing in collaboration with the Government of Bolivia the cooperative program of health and sanitation over a three-year period beginning January 1, 1945, provided that an amount is contributed by the Government of Bolivia for the same purposes equal to one million ($1,000,000) dollars, U. S. currency.

The kind of work and specific projects to be undertaken and the expenditure of the funds are to be mutually agreed to by the appropriate official of the Government of Bolivia and the appropriate official of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, for the Government of the United States of America.

It is understood that the funds contributed by both governments will be spent through the special agency created within the Ministry 58 Stat. 1569 of Labor, Public Health and Social Welfare by your Government, which special agency is known as the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Salud Pública. Detailed arrangements for the continuation of the special Servicio and the fulfillment of the program will be effected by agreement between the appropriate official of the Government of Bolivia and an appropriate official of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs for the United States of America.

It is understood that the Government of the United States of America will continue to furnish such personnel as may be considered necessary in order to collaborate with the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Salud Pública in executing the health and sanitation program.

All assets acquired by the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Salud Pública in connection with the health and sanitation program shall remain the property of the Government of Bolivia.

No project will be undertaken that will require supplies of materials the procurement of which would handicap any phase of the war effort.

I should appreciate it if Your Excellency would be so kind as to confirm to me your approval of this general proposal, with the understanding that the details of the program will be the subject of further discussion and agreement as provided herein.

Please accept, Excellency, the renewed assurance of my most distinguished consideration.

Señor Embajador:

Autorizado por mi Gobierno tengo a honra dejar constancia en esta nota de que, como resultado de las conversaciones entre Vuestra Excelencia y el suscrito, se ha convenido entre el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América en lo siguiente:

 Primero: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, por órgano de su dependencia la Rubber Reserve Company, que en lo adelante se denominará Reserve, conviene en establecer o en hacer establecer en Venezuela una Agencia que en lo adelante se denominará la Agencia, la cual estará autorizada para cooperar en el desarrollo de la producción del caucho en Venezuela, asi como también para adquirir en el Territorio de la República toda clase de caucho que se explote en Venezuela y de productos de caucho elaborados con materia prima nacional, siempre que el caucho explotado o los productos elaborados con éste, no sean esenciales para las necesidades internas del país, de acuerdo con lo estipulado en el presente modus vivendi. A tal efecto, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela conviene en que la Agencia gozará de todas las facilidades requeridas para el debido desempeño de sus funciones. Segundo: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, habida consideración de que el caucho que se exporte por órgano de Reserve irá íntegramente a los Estados Unidos de América, país que necesita de grandes cantidades de dicho producto para fines de defensa continental, conviene en conceder a la Agencia el derecho exclusivo de exportar una vez cubiertas las necesidades del consumo interno nacional, el caucho que se explote en Venezuela y los productos inservibles de caucho existentes en la República. A este efecto y de conformidad con lo previsto en el artículo segundo del Decreto Ejecutivo N° 235, de fecha 9 de octubre de 1.942, el Ejecutivo Federal, por órgano del Despacho correspondiente, designará a Reserve como la entidad que tendrá derecho exclusivo a la exportación de caucho. También se 58 Stat. 1573compromete el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela a tomar medidas adecuadas tendientes ala conservación del caucho para desti narlo a usos esenciales de defensa continental o indispensables para el mantenimiento de los transportes dentro del país-Asimismo, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, tomará las medidas necesarias para impedir el acaparamiento del caucho o de sus productos. Tercero: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América se compromete a que la Agencia de Reserve compre y, por su parte, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela se compromete a vender y a hacer vender a la Agencia todo el caucho y todos los productos disponibles en el territorio de la República y que no se requieran para el uso o consumo interno de Venezuela. A este efecto y de conformidad con lo previsto en el artículo tercero del citado Decreto Ejecutivo N° 235, de fecha 9 de octubre de 1.942, el Ejecutivo Federal, por órgano del respectivo Despacho, designará a la Agencia como la entidad exclusivamente autorizada para comprar el caucho que no sea necesario para el consumo interno. Las necesidades esenciales de Venezuela, en lo tocante a caucho en bruto y a caucho viejo, inclusive el caucho contenido en los productos de caucho, se fijan por el presente convenio en un máximo de ochocientas toneladas anuales de caucho lavado y seco o su equivalente; pero las Altas Partes Contratantes han convenido en que esta cantidad puede ser aumentada de mutuo acuerdo cuando se demuestre que se necesita una mayor cantidad para satisfacer la demanda del país. Cuarto: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América convienen en que las compras de productos de caucho que efectúe la Agencia de Reserve, en conformidad con las estipulaciones de este convenio, serán hechas a los precios netos del comercio que regían para el primero de junio de mil novecientos cuarenta y dos en el territorio de Venezuela. No obstante, esos precios podrán ser aumentados mediante acuerdos entre las Partes a fin de hacer los ajustes necesarios al aumento en el precio del caucho en bruto o de cualquiera otra materia que se requiera para la manufactura de los productos. Quinto: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América convienen en que el precio básico que por libra (Kgs. 0,453,6) pagará la Agencia de Reserve en las compras de caucho que efectúe de acuerdo con este convenio para la exportación será de cuarenta y cinco (45) centavos, moneda de los Estados Unidos de América, en los puertos venezolanos de Ciudad Bolívar o Caripito, o cualquier otro puerto que sea escogido de mutuo acuerdo, para el equivalente de la calidad “Upriver Acre Fine”, y de treinta y tres (33) centavos, también moneda de los Estados Unidos de América, por libra (Kgs. 0,453,6) para la buena calidad corriente de Castilloa “Scrap”, como se la conoce en Nueva York, con las diferencias del caso para los precios de otros tipos y calidades. Queda entendido que el precio básico, junto con las citadas diferencias, se denominará “el precio fijado.” Los precios que pagará la Agencia en las compras que efectúe en otros puntos del interior de Venezuela estarán constituidos por “el precio fijado”, 58 Stat. 1574menos el valor de los gastos de transporte del punto donde se efectúe la compra hasta los mencionados puertos de Ciudad Bolivar y Caripito. Queda convenido que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela hará que se establezca “el precio fijado” para todas las ventas de caucho para consumo doméstico o para uso dentro del país. Las Partes convienen en que el precio básico fijado podrá ser modificado o ajustado durante la vigencia de este convenio, a fin de adaptarlo a las nuevas condiciones o circunstancias que pudieren surgir. Reserve pagará, igualmente, además de los precios indicados, primas por sus compras de caucho en Venezuela. Dichas primas serán pagadas al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela así: dos y medio centavos, moneda de los Estados Unidos de América, por cada libra (Kgs. 0,453,6) sobre todo el caucho comprado que exceda de trescientas toneladas y que no llegue a setecientas toneladas, y cinco centavos, moneda de los Estados Unidos de América, por libra (Kgs. 0,453,6) sobre todo el caucho comprado que exceda de setecientas toneladas durante cualquier año de la vigencia de este Convenio. El monto de estas primas será pagado por Reserve en la Tesorería Nacional de Venezuela, mediante las correspondientes Planillas que liquidará el organismo competente a medida que se efectúe la exportación de caucho y sobre cada cantidad exportada. A su vez, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela se compromete a invertir una cantidad igual al valor de las primas pagadas por la Agencia de Reserve, en el fomento inmediato de la producción y en el mejoramiento de la calidad del caucho silvestre existente en el Territorio de la República, a cuyo efecto Reserve podrá hacer las indicaciones adecuadas. Se ha convenido en que Reserve podrá cargar el monto de las primas al saldo no invertido del Fondo de Fomento a que se refiere la cláusula siguiente. Sexta: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, por órgano de Reserve, conviene en establecer un Fondo de Fomento hasta de quinientos mil dólares ($500.000), que invertirá Reserve, de acuerdo con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y en las proporciones que se considere convenientes o necesarias a los fines de este convenio, en el desarrollo y aumento de la producción de caucho, así como también en el mejoramiento de la calidad del mismo existente en la República, en el perfeccionamiento de los sistemas empleados para explotarlo, en el estímulo de condiciones para una producción máxima y en obras permanentes y vehiculos de trasporte, siempre que propendan a hacer factible la explotación del caucho en gran escala. La Agencia podrá, mientras existan fondos no invertidos, utilizar parte de los mismos para dar suministros a los explotadores de caucho, siendo de advertir que, una vez restituidos estos suministros, las sumas a ellos correspondientes deberán ser abonadas nuevamente al Fondo para ser empleadas en los fines enunciados. Cuando circunstancias especiales así lo aconsejen, la Agencia podrá utilizar también parte de dichos fondos en el pago de primas especiales para los productores que se consideren convenientes a fin de estimular las explotaciones en gran escala. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, de acuerdo con la Agencia, designará un consultor, pagado 58 Stat. 1575por el mismo Gobierno, cuyas funciones consistirán en indicar a dicha Agencia los procedimientos más adecuados para el máximo rendimiento de las actividades de la explotación del caucho en Venezuela. Séptimo: A fin de lograr una producción máxima de caucho, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela conviene en tomar medidas adecuadas tendientes a asegurar una participación equitativa en los precios pagados por la Agencia a todas las clases de personas que intervengan en los trabajos de explotación del caucho y para lograr, asimismo, que los precios que paguen dichos trabajadores por los artículos que necesiten para su uso y consumo sean justos y equitativos. Con este fin, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela fijará los salarios de los trabajadores y también los precios que estos pagarán, a su vez, por los artículos de uso y consumo que necesiten. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela hará que los precios por él fijados se publiquen en todas las localidades de las regiones productoras. Reserve colaborará ampliamente con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela para lograr los objetivos expuestos e igualmente consultará al Ministerio del Trabajo y de Comunicaciones de Venezuela para el logro de dichos fines. Reserve empleará también cualesquiera otros medios que propendan al mejoramiento del estado económico de los trabajadores en las explotaciones del caucho. Octavo: Ha sido convenido entre las Partes que las cantidades que invierta la Agencia de Reserve por cuenta del Fondo de Fomento en el desarrollo de los cultivos del caucho, así como en obras permanentes, tales como caminos, embarcaderos, habitaciones, depósitos, etc., quedarán al término de este modus vivendi a beneficio de la nación venezolana, sin que ésta tenga que pagar ninguna indemnización. Tampoco asume el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela ninguna obligación con respecto a las cantidades que invierta la Agencia de Reserve por suministros a los explotadores de caucho o por primas en favor de los mismos, así como en el mejoramiento de los sistemas de explotación o en las calidades del caucho. Ha sido también convenido que las cosas muebles que la Agencia de Reserve lleve a los lugares de explotación, tales como vehículos, embarcaciones, máquinas, implementos de trabajo y otros semejantes, permanecerán de la exclusiva propiedad de Reserve y la Agencia podrá reexportarlos o venderlos en el país por su cuenta. Noveno:

En atención al interés nacional que reviste para el desa rrollo del cultivo del caucho en Venezuela el presente modus vivendi, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, conviene en exonerar de los derechos de importación a todas las máquinas, útiles, vehículos, embarcaciones, materiales para la construcción de obras y edificios y demás implementos que importe la Agencia de Reserve con destino exclusivo a los trabajos de explotación del caucho y de desarrollo y mejoramiento de su cultivo en Venezuela.

Esta nota y la respuesta conforme de Vuestra Excelencia constituirán un modus vivendi que durará un año, y podrá ser prorrogado por simple manifestación de voluntad del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, en cada oportunidad anual, hasta el 31 de diciembre 58 Stat. 1576de mil novecientos cuarenta y seis. Sin embargo, es entendido que, si en virtud de preceptos constitucionales, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela restablece en cualquier fecha las garantías restringidas por el ya citado Decreto Ejecutivo de 9 de octubre de 1.942, en tal caso habrá de considerarse resuelto de pleno derecho el presente modus vivendi.

Válgome de la oportunidad para renovar a Vuestra Excelencia las seguridades de mi más alta y distinguida consideración.

Excellency:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note of today’s date and, authorized by my Government, to record in this note that as a result of the conversations between Your Excellency and the undersigned, it has been agreed between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United States of Venezuela that:

To such an end, the Govern ment of the United States of Venezuela agrees that the Agency will enjoy all the facilities required in the due fulfillment of its functions. Second: The Government of the United States of Venezuela,

Export of rubber.

taking into consideration that the rubber exported through Reserve will go entirely to the United States of America, a country in need of great quantities of the said product for the purposes of Hemispheric defense, agrees to grant the Agency the exclusive right to export, once the requirements of internal national consumption are met, the rubber that is produced in Venezuela and the manufactured rubber existent in the Republic. To this end and in conformity with the dispositions of Article 2 of the Presidential Decree No. 235 dated October 9, 1942, the Federal Executive, through the appropriate Ministry will designate Reserve as the entity which will have the exclusive right to the exportation of rubber. The Government of the United States of Venezuela

Conservation Of rubber.

also binds itself to take adequate measures towards the conservation of rubber so that it may be destined to essential uses of Hemispheric defense or uses indispensable to the maintenance and upkeep of transportation within the country. Furthermore, the Government of the United States of Venezuela will take the necessary measures to prevent the hoarding of rubber or its products. Third: The Government of the United States of America binds

Purchase of rubber and rubber products.

itself to have the Reserve Agency buy and, on its part, the Government of the United States of Venezuela binds itself to sell and to cause to be sold to the Agency all the rubber and all the rubber products available in the Territory of the Republic and which are not needed for the use or internal consumption of Venezuela. To this 58 Stat. 1578end and in agreement with the stipulations of Article 3 of the aforementioned Executive Decree No. 235 dated October 9, 1942, the Federal Executive, by means of the respective Ministry, will designate the Agency as the entity exclusively authorized to buy the rubber not necessary for internal consumption. The essential needs of Venezuela, as regards raw rubber and reclaimed rubber, including the rubber contained in rubber products, is fixed by the present agreement at a maximum of eight hundred tons annually of washed and dried rubber or its equivalent; but the High Contracting Parties have agreed that this amount may be increased by mutual agreement when it is demonstrated that a larger amount is needed to satisfy the country’s requirements. Fourth:

Prices.

The Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United States of Venezuela agree that the pur chases of rubber products made by the Reserve Agency, in accordance with the stipulations of this agreement, will be made at the net market prices which were in effect on the first of June, 1942, in the territory of Venezuela. Nevertheless, those prices may be increased through agreements between both Parties in order to make the necessary adjustments to the increase in the price of raw rubber or of any other material which is required in the manufacture of the products. Fifth:

Basic price

The Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United States of Venezuela agree that the basic price per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) which will be paid by the Reserve Agency in the rubber purchases which it may make in accordance with this agreement for export will be forty-five (45) cents United States Currency, in the Venezuelan ports of Ciudad Bolivar or Caripito, or any other port which may be chosen by mutual agreement, for the equivalent of the quality “Upriver Acre Fine”, (washed and dried), and of thirty-three (33) cents, also United States Currency, per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) for the good common quality Castilloa “Scrap”, as it is known in New York, with the corresponding differ ences in the prices for the other types and qualities. It is understood that the basic price, together with the aforementioned differences, will be called “the fixed price”. The prices which the Agency will pay in the purchases it makes in other points of the interior of Venezuela

“Fixed price.”

Post, p. 1584.

will be constituted by ”the fixed price”;, less the cost of transportation expenses from the point where the purchase is made to the aforementioned ports of Ciudad Bolivar and Caripito. It is agreed that the Government of the United States of Venezuela will cause to be established the fixed price for all sales of rubber for domestic consumption or use within the country. The Parties agree that the fixed basic price may be modified or adjusted during the time this agreement is in effect, in order to adapt it to the new conditions or

Premiums.

circumstances which may arise. Reserve will pay, also, besides the indicated prices, premiums for its rubber purchases in Venezuela. The said premiums will be paid to the Government of the United States of Venezuela thus: two and one-half (2-½) cents, United States Currency, per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) on all the rubber bought which exceeds three hundred tons and does not exceed seven hundred tons 58 Stat. 1579in any one year that this agreement is in effect, and five (5) cents, United States Currency, per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) on all rubber bought which exceeds seven hundred tons during any one year that this agreement is in effect. The sum total of these premiums will be paid by Reserve at the National Treasury of Venezuela, through the payment of the corresponding vouchers by the appropriate agency, as the rubber is exported and on each amount exported. On its part, the Government of the United States of Venezuela binds itself to expend an equal amount to the value of the bonuses paid by the Reserve Agency in the immediate development of production and in the betterment of the quality of wild rubber existing in the Territory of the Republic, to which end Reserve may make the adequate suggestions. It has been agreed that Reserve will be able to charge the total of the bonuses to the unexpended balance of the Development Fund which is mentioned in the next clause. Sixth: The Government of the United States of America, by means

Establishment of a Development Fund.

of Reserve, agrees to establish a Development Fund, of up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.-) which Reserve will spend, in accord with the Government of the United States of Venezuela and in the amounts which may be considered requisite or necessary to the purposes of this agreement, in the development and increase of rubber production, as well as in the improvement of the quality of the same existing in Venezuela, in the improvement of the methods employed in its production, in the stimulating of conditions for maximum production and in permanent works and transportation vehicles, so long as they tend to obtain rubber production on a large scale. The Agency may, as long as there are unexpended funds, utilize part of the same in advancing supplies to the rubber workers, it being understood that once these supplies are paid for, the corresponding sums will be credited to the fund to be employed for the purposes already stated. When special circumstances may so advise it, the Agency may utilize also part of these funds in the payment of special premiums to producers when they are considered conducive to the production of rubber on a large scale. The Government of the United States of Venezuela, in

Consultant.

accord with the Agency, will appoint a consultant, paid by the same Government, whose functions will consist in indicating to the said Agency the most adequate procedures to secure a maximum yield in rubber production in Venezuela. Seventh: In order to obtain maximum rubber production, the Government

Workers’ wages; price fixing.

of the United States of Venezuela agrees to take adequate measures which tend to assure an equitable participation in the prices paid by the Agency to all the classes of persons who participate in rubber producing operations and to assure, furthermore, that the prices that the said workers pay for the articles which they need for their use and consumption be fair and equitable. To attain this end, the Government of the United States of Venezuela will fix the wages of the workers as well as the prices that the latter will have to pay in their turn for the articles of use and consumption which they may need. The Government of the United States of Venezuela will take steps that the prices fixed by it will be published in all the localities 58 Stat. 1580of the producing regions. Reserve will cooperate amply with the Government of the United States of Venezuela in order to attain the objectives already set forth and will consult the Ministry of Labor and Communications of Venezuela for the attainment of said ends. Reserve will also employ any other means which may tend to the improvement of the economic status of the workers in the production of rubber. Eighth:

Expenditures.

Roads, docks, etc.

The parties have agreed that the amounts that the Reserve Agency expends on account of the Development Fund in the development of the rubber production, as well as in permanent works, such as roads, docks, living quarters, depots, etc., will remain, at the expiration of this modus vivendi, for the benefit of the Venezuelan nation, for which the latter will not be obliged to pay any indemnity whatsoever. Nor does the Government of the United States of Venezuela assume any obligation with respect to the sums which the Reserve Agency may expend in advances to rubber workers or in premiums to the same, as well as in the improvement of the production methods

Movable objects.

or betterment of the quality of the rubber. It is also agreed that the movable objects that the Reserve Agency may supply to the centers of production, such as vehicles, boats, machinery, working implements and other such objects, will remain the exclusive property of Reserve and the Agency may reexport them or sell them in the country for its own account. Ninth

Import duties on machinery, etc.

In view of the national interest which the present modus vivendi represents in the development of rubber production in Venezuela, the Government of the United States of Venezuela agrees to exonerate from import duties all machinery, tools, vehicles, boats, construction materials for works and buildings and other implements which the Reserve Agency may import for the exclusive use of rubber exploitation operations and the development and improvement of its cultivation in Venezuela.

Extension of modus ricendi.

No. 1871

Excellency:

I have the honor to record in this note that as a result of the conversations between Your Excellency and the undersigned, it has been agreed between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United States of Venezuela that:

 First:

Premium over fixed price.

 The Government of the United States of America, by means of its dependency, the Rubber Development Corporation (successor to Rubber Reserve Company), which hereinafter shall be called “Development”, agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, a net premium of 33½% over “the fixed price” as set forth in the exchange of notes between Your Excellency and the undersigned under date of October 13, 1942,

Ante, p. 1578.

which exchange of notes established “the fixed price” at 45 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound (Kgs. 0.4536), in the Venezuelan ports of Ciudad Bolivar and Caripito or any other Venezuelan port which may be chosen by mutual agreement for the equivalent of the quality “Upriver Acre Fine” (washed and dried), and of 33 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) for the good common quality castilloa “scrap”, as it is known in New York, with corresponding differences in price for other types and qualities, said premium to be payable upon rubber which is available for quality inspection or has been inspected by Development at an agreed shipping port and which has been tendered to Development for purchase during the period beginning with the date of your acceptance of the proposal herein contained and ending March 31, 1945; it being understood that all rubber tendered thereafter to Development shall be purchased in accordance

Ante, p. 1578.

with Article Fifth of the aforesaid exchange of notes without the payment of the above-mentioned premium, unless our respective governments shall have agreed in writing to a continuance of the premium thereafter. It is expressly understood and agreed that after making appropriate allowances for differences in grades and quality “the fixed price” as applied to weak fine smoked ball on the basis of delivered weights at San Fernando de Atabapo and other established stations in Federal Territorio Amazonas shall be 35 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound (Kgs. 0.4536). Second:

Discontinuance of supplemental payments.

In view of the fact that the aforesaid premium is being paid in order (a) to offset increased wages, living costs and other items affecting the cost of rubber production; and (b) to provide a stimulus to maximum production, it is understood and agreed that Development shall discontinue at the earliest practicable date all supplemental payments such as food and recruiting bonuses or other contributions heretofore made by it. However, Development shall continue to furnish, during the period of the premium payment herein provided for, facilities for transporting rubber on the Orinoco River to Sanariapo and Morganite. It is understood that the Venezuelan Government, during the period of the premium payment herein provided for, shall 58 Stat. 1585pay an incentive premium of 10 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) for all rubber produced in Venezuela and in order to offset the high cost of production in Federal Territorio Amazonas shall pay an additional production premium of 19.61 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound (Kgs. 0.4536) for rubber produced within the boundaries of said territory. It is further understood that the resultant total of price and premiums for smoked ball weak fine rubber produced in Federal Territorio Amazonas amounting to 76.28 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound shall be distributed in accordance with the following schedule to be established by the Venezuelan Government.

Producers 58.58 cents (U. S. Cy.) per pound (Kgs. 0.4536)

The above schedule of distribution shall be applied in like proportion with respect to the corresponding differences in price for other types and qualities of rubber produced in said territory.

 Third: The Government of the United States of Venezuela shall cooperate with Development in the following respects: 1. Restrict the use of tires, tubes, and other finished rubber products

Restrictions on use of finished products.

for essential purposes only, with the ultimate objective of reducing to the greatest extent practicable the quota of rubber allocated to the United States of Venezuela for domestic consumption. 2. Encourage the use in the United States of Venezuela of synthetic

Prices for domestic consumption.

net premium payable hereunder by Development, plus the bonuses payable by the Venezuelan Government to the contractors and tappers as the price for all purchases and sales of rubber for domestic consumption or use within the United States of Venezuela.

Caracas, 27 de septiembre de 1.944

Señor Embajador:

Tengo a honra dejar constancia en esta nota de que, como resultado de las conversaciones celebradas entre Vuestra Excelencia y el suscrito, ha quedado convenido lo siguiente entre el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América:

 Primero: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, por medio de su dependencia, la Rubber Development Corporation (sucesora de la Rubber Reserve Company), que en lo sucesivo será llamada “Development”, conviene en pagar o hacer que se pague una prima neta de 33⅓% sobre el “precio fijado” que se expresa en el cambio de notas efectuado entre Vuestra Excelencia y el suscrito, de fecha 13 de octubre de 1.942, el cual estableció el “precio fijo” de 45 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra (Kgs. 0.4536) en los puertos venezolanos de Ciudad Bolívar y Caripito, o cualquier otro puerto venezolano que se designare de mutuo acuerdo, para el equivalente de la calidad “Upriver Acre Fine” (lavado y secado), y de 33 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra (Kgs. 0.4536) por la calidad buena corriente de “castilloa scrap”, como se le llama en Nueva York, con las correspondientes diferencias de precio para otros tipos y calidades, debiéndose pagar esa prima por el caucho que esté listo para la inspección de su calidad o que haya sido inspeccionado por Development en un puerto de embarque convenido y que haya sido ofrecido en venta a Development durante el período que comenzará en la fecha en que se acepte la proposición contenida en la presente y que terminará el 31 de marzo de 1.945; quedando entendido que todo caucho ofrecido posteriormente a Development será comprado de acuerdo con el Artículo Quinto del precitado canje de notas sin el pago de la prima arriba mencionada, a menos que nuestros respectivos Gobiernos convengan por escrito en continuar pagándola después de dicha fecha.-Queda expresamente entendido y convenido que después de hacer los descuentos consiguientes por diferencias en las clases y calidades, el “precio fijado” aplicable a “weak fine smoked ball” a base del peso en San Fernando de Atabapo y otras estaciones establecidas en el Territorio Federal Amazonas, será el de 35 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra (Kgs. 0.4536). Segundo: En vista de que la precitada prima se paga para compensar el aumento de jornales, costo de vida y otras cosas que afectan el costo de producción del caucho, así como para estimular la mayor producción, queda entendido y convenido que Development suprimirá en la fecha más próxima posible todos los pagos suplementarios tales como los que se hicieren por concepto de alimentos y bonificaciones, por reclutamiento u otras contribuciones que hasta ahora venía haciendo. Pero, Development seguirá proporcionando durante el 58 Stat. 1587periodo del pago de la prima que se estipula en la presente, los medios para el trasporte del caucho por el Rio Orinoco a Sanariapo y Morganito. Queda entendido que durante el período citado el Gobierno de Venezuela pagará, a título de incentivo, 10 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra (Kgs. 0.4536) por todo el caucho producido en Venezuela y que, a fin de compensar el alto costo de producción en el Territorio Federal Amazonas, pagará también una prima adicional de producción de 19,61 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra (Kgs. 04536) por el caucho producido dentro de los límites de ese territorio. Queda entendido además que la suma global del precio y primas por caucho fino ahumado en bolas (“smoked ball fine rubber”) producido en el Territorio Federal Amazonas que monta a 76.28 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra, será distribuido de acuerdo con la siguiente escala que será fijada por el Gobierno de Venezuela:
Contratistas Principales 4.08 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra.
Sub-contratistas 13.62 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra.
Productores 58.58 centavos (moneda de los Estados Unidos) por libra.

La anterior escala de distribución será aplicable en proporción a las correspondientes diferencias de precios por otros tipos y calidades de caucho producidas en dicho territorio.—

 Tercero: El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela cooperará con Development en los siguientes puntos: 1.— Atribuirá el uso de llantas, cámaras de aire, y otros productos manufacturados de caucho, a fines únicamente esenciales, con el objeto de aprovechar lo más posible la cuota de caucho asignada a los Estados Unidos de Venezuela para el consumo interno. 2.— Fomentará lo más que sea posible el uso en Venezuela de caucho sintético y de caucho usado. 3.— Publicará los nuevos precios fijados, estableciendo también la escala de los precios que serán pagados en lugares del interior. Además, dicha escala de nuevos precios será publicada en los periódicos convenientes y se distribuirán circulares apropiadas (que serán suplidas por Development) para su distribución en las regiones productoras de caucho. 4.— Establecerá o hará establecer el “precio fijado”, más la prima neta pagadera por Development según la presente, más las bonificaciones pagaderas por el Gobierno de Venezuela a los contratistas o caucheros, en todas las compras y ventas de caucho para consumo o uso domésticos dentro de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela.

Queda entendido que esta nota y la respuesta de Vuestra Excelencia en los mismos términos, constituirán un acuerdo firme entre el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América.

Note No. 173

Excellency:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s Note No. 1500 dated March 28, 1944, [11[Not printed.]] which refers to conversations between representatives of my Government and the Minister of Public Education regarding the possible establishment of a cooperative educational program in Honduras, and expresses the desire of the Honduran Government to place in operation such a program. It is gratifying to learn that your Excellency approves of cooperative action in this field, and it is believed that the resulting interchange of educational ideas and methods will be mutually beneficial.

For the purpose of carrying out the proposed program in Honduras, the Government of the United States, acting through the Inter-American Educational Foundation, Incorporated, is prepared to provide the sum of Eighty Thousand Dollars, United States Currency. This amount is to be made available for projects to be approved mutually by representatives of the two Governments and for paying the salaries and other expenses of the educational specialists furnished by the Foundation. It is proposed that the Honduran Government provide the sum of Eighty Thousand Lempiras, Honduran currency, in addition to such personnel, supplies, and materials as it may see fit to provide within Honduras, and that a special cooperative service, similar to the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Salud Publica, be established for the carrying out of this program, which, it is anticipated, will be carried on over a period of approximately three years.

If it is agreeable to Your Excellency, the Foundation will send a group of educational specialists to Honduras who will be acceptable to the Honduran Government. This group will be in charge of an official who will be designated as the Chief of Staff of the InterAmerican Educational Foundation, Incorporated, who will be the representative of the Foundation in connection with this program, and who would also serve as the Director of the special cooperative service. The specific projects and activities to be undertaken by the special cooperative service will be mutually agreed upon by representatives of the two Governments, and will include the sending of Honduran specialists in education to the United States.

If agreeable to the Government of Honduras it is also proposed that the detailed arrangements for the establishment of the special co58 Stat. 1590operative service and the development of the program be stated later in a more detailed agreement between the Foundation and Your Excellency’s Government.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

Excellency:

I have the honor to invite Your Excellency’s attention to the provisions of the Trans-Isthmian Highway Convention signed by representatives of the United States of America and Panama at Washington on March 2, 1936, concerning which conversations have been

53 Stat. 1869.

held with Your Excellency with a view to arriving at a mutually acceptable agreement as to the manner in which our two Governments may best coordinate their efforts in the building of the Highway.

In order to expedite the construction of the Trans-Isthmian High way, which for the first time will complete the connection between the capital city of Panamá with the other principal Panamanian city of Colón, and for the purpose of facilitating the defense of the Panama Canal which is of such vital importance to our two countries, I have the honor to inform you that the Government of the United States is prepared to bear the full engineering cost for a dual highway and the construction cost for a twenty-foot roadway between the Madden Dam and Cativá.

During the course of the conversations referred to above, it will be recalled that my Government indicated that it might be desirable for defense purposes to construct a highway capable of withstanding greater stresses and strains than was contemplated at the time the Trans-Isthmian Highway Convention was negotiated. My Government’s offer mentioned in the preceding paragraph is therefore contingent upon the agreement of your Government to improve the construction specifications contained in Article IV of the Trans-Isthmian Highway Convention to permit of the use of such standards

53 Stat. 1871.

and specifications as the United States may determine necessary for defense purposes. All other provisions of the Convention would of course continue to remain in full force and effect.

In the course of the conversations between our two Governments with regard to the best way to cooperate in this matter, we also discussed the bases of the arrangement under which the Government of the United States would, if its offer is accepted by the Government of Panama, make the engineering survey for a dual highway and construct at its own expense the twenty-foot roadway between the Madden Dam and Cativá. There is attached a memorandum dated August 29, 1940 embodying my understanding of the arrangement discussed during these conversations.

58 Stat. 1594

Upon receipt of a note from Your Excellency accepting the offer stipulated in this note and the understandings on which this note is based, the Government of the United States is prepared to undertake at once the necessary steps to carry into effect this offer.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Tengo especial agrado en acusarle á Vuestra Excelencia recibo de su muy interesante Nota, de 31 de Agosto de 1940, cuyo texto reza asi:

“Excellency:

I have the honor to invite Your Excellency’s attention to the provisions of the Trans-Isthmian Highway Convention signed by representatives of the United States of America and Panama at Washington on March 2, 1936, concerning which conversations have been held with Your Excellency with a view to arriving at a mutually acceptable agreement as to the manner in which our two Governments may best coordinate their efforts in the building of the Highway.

58 Stat. 1596

In order to expedite the construction of the Trans-Isthmian Highway, which for the first time will complete the connection between the capital city of Panamá with the other principal Panamanian city of Colón, and for the purpose of facilitating the defense of the Panama Canal which is of such vital importance to our two countries, I have the honor to inform you that the Government of the United States is prepared to bear the full engineering cost of a dual highway and the construction cost for a twenty-foot roadway between the Madden Dam and Cativá.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.”

Me es muy satisfactorio manifestarle a Vuestra Excelencia que mi Gobierno acepta gustoso la amistosa oferta que por medio de esa comunicación le hace el ilustrado Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, en los términos expresados en ella y en el Memorándum que Vuestra Excelencia se sirvió acompañar como parte integrante de dicha nota, quedando entendido que las especificaciones de construcción de la Carretera Transístmica indicadas como mínimas en la sección IV de la Convención firmada por nuestros Gobiernos en 2 de Marzo de 1936, podrán mejorarse en la construcción propuesta por Vuestro Gobierno á fin de que consulten los “standards” y especificaciones que los Estados Unidos consideren necesarios para medidas de defensa”, y que continuarán en toda fuerza y vigor las otras cláusulas de la citada Convención de 1936, incluso la VII que estipula que tanto Panamá como los Estados Unidos de América, tendrán por igual el 58 Stat. 1597uso irrestricto de la Carretera Transístmica, con sujeción únicamente a las leyes y reglamentos vigentes en las respectivas jurisdicciones sobre tráfico de vehículos.

Mi Gobierno aprecia en todo su valor este gesto de franca amistad y solidaridad de parte del ilustrado Gobierno de Vuestra Excelencia el cual está llamado a intensificar y a fortalecer, haciendo aún más sólidos los múltiples lazos espirituales, políticos y económicos que felizmente ligan a nuestros dos países, los que han existido siempre empezando en realidad a forjarse en los comienzos mismos de nuestra vida independiente.

En armonía con ese propósito de establecer no solo un intercambio comercial sino también un verdadero entendimiento espiritual que sirva de fundamente sólido a las relaciones políticas y económicas, mi Gobierno está dispuesto y resuelto, como tuve el honor de manifestárselo al Excelentísimo Señor Presidente Roosevelt en el discurso de presentación de mis credenciales de Embajador de Panamá ante su Gobierno, a hacer cuanto esté a su alcance porque “nuestras relaciones continúen desarrollándose, digámoslo con fé, traducidas en solidaridad, armonía y cooperación efectivas.”

Por otra parte, esta carretera indudablemente servirá para fortificar la capacidad de nuestros dos Gobiernos para cooperar mútuamente en forma eficaz en la defensa de la magna obra del Canal.

Ruego a Vuestra Excelencia aceptar el renovado homenage de mi más distinguida consideración,

Mr. Secretary:

I take special pleasure in acknowledging to Your Excellency the receipt of your very interesting note of August 31, 1940, the text of

Ante, p. 1593.

which reads as follows:

[Here follows the text of the note of August 31, 1940 from the Secretary of State to the Panamanian Ambassador.]

It gives me great satisfaction to state to Your Excellency that my Government accepts with pleasure the friendly offer which is made to it through that communication by the enlightened Government of the United States, in the terms expressed therein and in the Memorandum which Your Excellency was good enough to send with it as an integral part of the said note, it being understood that the construction specifications for the Trans-Isthmian Highway indicated as minimum in 58 Stat. 1598

53 Stat. 1871.

Section IV of the Convention signed by our Governments on March 2, 1936 can be improved in the construction proposed by Your Government in order to meet “such standards and specifications as the United States may determine necessary for defense purposes,” and that the other articles of the Convention of 1936, referred to, shall

53 Stat. 1872.

continue in full force and effect, including the seventh, which stipulates that both Panama and the United States shall have equally the unrestricted use of the Trans-Isthmian Highway, subject only to the laws and regulations in force in the respective jurisdictions on vehicular traffic.

My Government appreciates at its full value this act of open friendship and solidarity on the part of Your Excellency’s illustrious Government, which is destined to intensify and fortify, rendering still firmer, the manifold spiritual, political and economic ties which happily bind our two countries, and which have always existed, beginning, in truth, to be forged in the very commencement of our independent life.

In harmony with that intention of establishing not only commercial interchange but also a true spiritual understanding that may serve as a firm basis for political and economic relations, my Government is disposed and has decided, as I had the honor to state to His Excellency President Roosevelt in my speech of presentation of my credentials as Ambassador of Panama before his Government, to do everything in its power to the end that “our relations may continue to develop, let us say with confidence, translated into effective solidarity, harmony and cooperation”.

Furthermore, this highway will doubtless serve to strengthen the capacity of our two Governments to cooperate reciprocally in an effective manner in the defense of the great work of the Canal.

I request Your Excellency to accept the renewed homage of my most distinguished consideration.

The act provided that “the expenditure of such sum shall be subject to the receipt of assurances satisfactory to the President (of the United States) from the Government of the Republic of Panama of its cooperation in such construction.”
