Such a contract shall provide by its terms that, it being only an interim solution of the repayment problems dealt with therein, its terms are not, in themselves, to be construed as a criterion of the terms of any

If the amount the time for payment of which is extended under a statement filed is less than the amount under the last statement previously filed the extension of time shall be terminated as to the difference between the two amounts. “(f) Termination by Commissioner.— The Commissioner is not required to make any examination of the statement, but he may make such examination thereof as he deems necessary and practicable. The Commissioner shall terminate the extension as to any part of the amount to which it relates which he deems should be terminated because, upon such examination, he believes that, as of the time such examination is made, all or any part of the statement clearly is in a material respect erroneous or unreasonable. “(g) Payments on Termination.— If an extension of time is terminated under subsection (e) or (f) with respect to any amount, then— 59 Stat. 521 “(1) no further extension of time shall be made under this section with respect to such amount, and “(2) the time for payment of such amount shall be considered to be the dates on which payments would have been required if there had been no extension with respect to such amount and the taxpayer had elected to pay the tax in four equal instalments as provided in section 56 (b).

If the Commissioner determines that during the period of extension credit or refund of an overpayment has been allowed or made, or a deficiency assessed, affecting the amount to which the extension relates and that the taxpayer could not have taken such overpayment or deficiency into account in the statement or a revised statement, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the interest.

Each such increase shall be deemed determined as a deficiency and shall be assessed, without regard to the restrictions on assessment in section

free entry of jews into palestine

December 19, 1945

[S. Con. Res. 44]

 Whereas the Sixty-seventh Congress of the United States on June 30, 1922, unanimously resolved “That the United States of America favors the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that

42 Stat. 1012.

nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of Christian and all other non-Jewish communities in Palestine, and that the holy places and religious buildings and sites in Palestine shall be adequately protected”; and Whereas the ruthless persecution of the Jewish people in Europe has clearly demonstrated the need for a Jewish homeland as a haven for the large numbers who have become homeless as a result of this persecution; and Whereas these urgent necessities are evidenced by the President’s request for the immediate right of entry into Palestine of one hundred thousand additional Jewish refugees; and Whereas the influx of Jewish immigration into Palestine is resulting in its improvement in agricultural, financial, hygienic, and general economic conditions; and Whereas the President and the British Prime Minister have agreed upon the appointment of a “Joint Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry” to examine conditions in Palestine as they bear upon the 59 Stat. 849problem of Jewish immigration and the Jewish situation in Europe and have requested a report within one hundred and twenty days: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That the interest shown by the President in the solution of this problem is hereby commended and that the United States shall use its good offices with the mandatory power to the end that Palestine shall be opened for free entry of Jews into that country to the maximum of its agricultural and economic potentialities, and that there shall be full opportunity for colonization and development, so that they may freely proceed with the upbuilding of Palestine as the Jewish national home and, in association with all elements of the population, establish Palestine as a democratic commonwealth in which all men, regardless of race or creed, shall have equal rights.

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

To the People of the United States:

Death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

It has pleased God in His infinite wisdom to take from us the immortal spirit of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States.

The leader of his people in a great war, he lived to see the assurance of the victory but not to share it. He lived to see the first foundations of the free and peaceful world to which his life was dedicated, but not to enter on that world himself.

His fellow countrymen will sorely miss his fortitude and faith and courage in the time to come.

The peoples of the earth who love the ways of freedom and of hope will mourn for him.

But though his voice is silent, his courage is not spent, his faith is 59 Stat. 865not extinguished. The courage of great men outlives them to become the courage of their people and the peoples of the world. It lives beyond them and upholds their purposes and brings their hopes to pass.

Now, therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United

Day of mourning and prayer, April 14, 1945.

States of America, do appoint Saturday next, April 14th, the day of the funeral service for the dead President, as a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States. I earnestly recommend the people to assemble on that day in their respective places of divine worship, there to bow down in submission to the will of Almighty God, and to pay out of full hearts their homage of love and reverence to the memory of the great and good man whose death they mourn.

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

59 Stat. 866 National Rehabilitation Week

May 5, 1945

[No. 2650]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

With, the attention of the Nation rightly focused on the welfare of men and women returning from service in the armed forces and the emphasis placed on benefits provided for them through Congressional action, we must not let our interest flag in discharging our obligations to the increasing thousands among our civilian population who through accident, disease, or congenital conditions are unable to hold a place in the ranks of the American working force. Even in the midst of war their condition calls to us for renewed effort to bring about their restoration that they, too, may maintain their self-respect through self-supporting work.

On June 2, our Nation-wide program for the vocational rehabilitation of such disabled men and women will have been in operation a quarter of a century. Less than two years ago, the Congress expanded

41 Stat. 735.

29 U. S. C. §§ 31–38, 41–44.

57 Stat. 374.

29 U. S. C., Supp. IV, 32–41.

this program by amending the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1920. The new law—the Barden-LaFollette Act, passed in 1943—makes it possible for the Federal and State Governments, working as a team, to bring to the mentally disabled and the blind and all other groups of the disabled, the many services necessary to make them employable, including physical restoration, vocational training and placement in suitable employment.

Over the past twenty-five years it has been demonstrated that this program for the restoration of disabled men and women is paying dividends, not only in humanitarian terms but in dollars and cents. Thousands of men and women annually apply to the rehabilitation service for help. Because of disabilities they are able to contribute little to the national income. Many of them are forced to accept public aid. Refitted for work, they begin to pay their own way. No longer then are they tax consumers; they are taxpayers.

That we may not fail to discharge our obligation to help every man and woman who needs vocational rehabilitation services in order to become self-supporting, it appears appropriate at this time that I should urge the able-bodied citizenry of the United States to unite in a concerted effort to bring about wider knowledge and use of the services for physical and mental restoration of the handicapped provided

57 Stat. 374.

29 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 32–41.

under the Barden-LaFollette Act, which applies to all civilian disabled.

Observance of week beginning June 2, 1945, as National Rehabilitation Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare the week beginning June 2, 1945, as National Rehabilitation Week.

And I urge all churches, educational institutions, health and welfare services, civic organizations, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, industry, labor, public-spirited citizens, and the radio and press throughout the United States to observe National Rehabilitation Week, to the end that handicapped men and women throughout our Nation may be located and advised of the benefits to which they may be entitled.

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

The Allied armies, through sacrifice and devotion and with God’s

Surrender by Germany.

help, have wrung from Germany a final and unconditional surrender. The western world has been freed of the evil forces which for five years and longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken the lives of millions upon millions of free-born men. They have violated their churches, destroyed their homes, corrupted their children, and murdered their loved ones. Our Armies of Liberation have restored freedom to these suffering peoples, whose spirit and will the oppressors could never enslave.

Much remains to be done. The victory won in the West must now be won in the East. The whole world must be cleansed of the evil from which half the world has been freed. United, the peace-loving nations have demonstrated in the West that their arms are stronger by far than the might of dictators or the tyranny of military cliques that once called us soft and weak. The power of our peoples to defend themselves against all enemies will be proved in the Pacific war as it has been proved in Europe.

For the triumph of spirit and of arms which we have won, and for its promise to peoples everywhere who join us in the love of freedom., it is fitting that we, as a nation, give thanks to Almighty God, who has strengthened us and given us the victory.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the

Appointment of Sunday, May 13, 1945, as a day of prayer.

United States of America, do hereby appoint Sunday, May 13, 1945, to be a day of prayer.

I call upon the people of the United States, whatever their faith, to unite in offering joyful thanks to God for the victory we have won and to pray that He will support us to the end of our present struggle and guide us into the way of peace.

I also call upon my countrymen to dedicate this day of prayer to the memory of those who have given their lives to make possible our victory.

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

Our Flag has accompanied ohr fighting men on a hundred battlefields. It flies beyond the seas over the friendly lands our arms have freed, and over the hostile countries our arms have conquered. Our Flag will be planted in the heart of the empire of our last remaining enemy.

As we press forward to final victory, we are strengthened with the knowledge that for millions of people in other lands as well as in our own our Flag is a living token of human integrity and freedom.

Let us observe this Flag Day by raising our Flag and beside it the flags of the United Nations.

[No. 2660]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

Surrender by Japan.

The war lords of Japan and the Japanese armed forces have surrendered. They have surrendered unconditionally. Three months after victory in Europe victory has come in the East.

The cruel war of aggression which Japan started eight years ago to spread the forces of evil over the Pacific has resulted in her total defeat.

This is the end of the grandiose schemes of the dictators to enslave the peoples of the world, destroy their civilization, and institute anew era of darkness and degradation. This day is a new beginning in the history of freedom on this earth.

Our global victory has come from the courage and stamina and spirit of free men and women united in determination to fight.

It has come from the massive strength of arms and materials created by peace-loving peoples who knew that unless they won decency in the world would end.

It has come from millions of peaceful citizens all over the world—turned soldiers almost overnight—who showed a ruthless enemy that they were not afraid to fight and to die, and that they knew how to win.

It has come with the help of God, Who was with us in the early days of adversity and disaster, and Who has now brought us to this glorious day of triumph.

Let us give thanks to Him, and remember that we have now dedicated ourselves to follow in His ways to a lasting and just peace and to a better world.

Appointment of Sunday, August 19, 1945, as a day of prayer.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby appoint Sunday, August 19, 1945, to be a day of prayer.

I call upon the people of the United States, of all faiths, to unite in offering their thanks to God for the victory we have won, and in praying that He will support and guide us into the paths of peace.

I also call upon my countrymen to dedicate this day of prayer to the memory of those who have given their lives to make possible our victory.

59 Stat. 879 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

Policy of the United States With Respect to the Natural Resources of the Subsoil and Sea Bed of the Continental Shelf

September 28, 1945

[No. 2667]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION WHEREAS the Government of the United States of America, aware of the long range world-wide need for new sources of petroleum and other minerals, holds the view that efforts to discover and make available new supplies of these resources should be encouraged; and WHEREAS its competent experts are of the opinion that such resources underlie many parts of the continental shelf off the coasts of the United States of America, and that with modern technological progress their utilization is already practicable or will become so at an early date; and WHEREAS recognized jurisdiction over these resources is required in the interest of their conservation and prudent utilization when and as development is undertaken; and WHEREAS it is the view of the Government of the United States that the exercise of jurisdiction over the natural resources of the subsoil and sea bed of the continental shelf by the contiguous nation is reasonable and just, since the effectiveness of measures to utilize or conserve these resources would be contingent upon cooperation and protection from the shore, since the continental shelf may be regarded as an extension of the land-mass of the coastal nation and thus naturally appurtenant to it, since these resources frequently form a seaward extension of a pool or deposit lying within the territory, and since self-protection compels the coastal nation to keep close watch over activities off its shores which are of the nature necessary for utilization of these resources;

Policy with respect to natural resources the subsoil and sea bed of the continental shelf.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the following policy of the United States of America with respect to the natural resources of the subsoil and sea bed of the continental shelf.

Having concern for the urgency of conserving and prudently utilizing its natural resources, the Government of the United States regards the natural resources of the subsoil and sea bed of the continental shelf beneath the high seas but contiguous to the coasts of the United States as appertaining to the United States, subject to its jurisdiction and control. In cases where the continental shelf extends to the shores of another State, or is shared with an adjacent State, the boundary shall be determined by the United States and the State concerned in accordance with equitable principles. The 59 Stat. 885 character as high seas of the waters above the continental shelf and the right to their free and unimpeded navigation are in no way thus affected.

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

September 28, 1945

[No. 2668]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION WHEREAS for some years the Government of the United States of America has viewed with concern the inadequacy of present arrangements for the protection and perpetuation of the fishery resources contiguous to its coasts, and in view of the potentially disturbing effect of this situation, has carefully studied the possibility of improving the jurisdictional basis for conservation measures and international cooperation in this field; and WHEREAS such fishery resources have a special importance to coastal communities as a source of livelihood and to the nation as a food and industrial resource; and WHEREAS the progressive development of new methods and techniques contributes to intensified fishing over wide sea areas and in certain cases seriously threatens fisheries with depletion; and WHEREAS there is an urgent need to protect coastal fishery resources from destructive exploitation, having due regard to conditions peculiar to each region and situation and to the special rights and equities of the coastal State and of any other State which may have established a legitimate interest therein;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the

Policy with respect to coastal fisheries.

United States of America, do hereby proclaim the following policy of the United States of America with respect to coastal fisheries in certain areas of the high seas:

In view of the pressing need for conservation and protection of fishery resources, the Government of the United States regards it as proper to establish conservation zones in those areas of the high seas contiguous to the coasts of the United States wherein fishing activities have been or in the future may be developed and maintained on a substantial scale. Where such activities have been or shall hereafter be developed and maintained by its nationals alone, the United States regards it as proper to establish explicitly bounded conservation zones in which fishing activities shall be subject to the regulation and control of the United States. Where such activities have been or shall hereafter be legitimately developed and maintained jointly by nationals of the United States and nationals of other States, explicitly bounded conservation zones may be established under agreements between the United States and such other States; and all fishing activities in such 59 Stat. 886 zones shall be subject to regulation and control as provided in such agreements. The right of any State to establish conservation zones off its shores in accordance with the above principles is conceded, provided that corresponding recognition is given to any fishing interests of nationals of the United States which may exist in such areas. The character as high seas of the areas in which such conservation zones are established and the right to their free and unimpeded navigation are in no way thus affected.

Thanksgiving Day, 1945

November 12, 1945

[No. 2673]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

In this year of our victory, absolute and final, over German fascism and Japanese militarism; in this time of peace so long awaited, which we are determined with all the United Nations to make permanent; 59 Stat. 889 on this day of our abundance, strength, and achievement; let us give thanks to Almighty Providence for these exceeding blessings.

We have won them with the courage and the blood of our soldiers, sailors, and airmen. We have won them by the sweat and ingenuity of our workers, farmers, engineers, and industrialists. We have won them with the devotion of our women and children. We have bought them with the treasure of our rich land. But above all we have won them because we cherish freedom beyond riches and even more than life itself.

We give thanks with the humility of free men, each knowing it was the might of no one arm but of all together by which we were saved. Liberty knows no race, creed, or class in our country or in the world. In unity we found our first weapon, for without it, both here and abroad, we were doomed. None have known this better than our very gallant dead, none better than their comrade, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Our thanksgiving has the humility of our deep mourning for them, our vast gratitude to them.

Triumph over the enemy has not dispelled every difficulty. Many vital and far-reaching decisions await us as we strive for a just and enduring peace. We will not fail if we preserve, in our own land and throughout the world, that same devotion to the essential freedoms and rights of mankind which sustained us throughout the war and brought us final victory.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the Thursday, Nov. 22, 1945, proclaimed a day of national thanksgiving.

At the moment of signing the present Convention for the avoidance of double taxation and the establishment of rules of reciprocal 59 Stat. 910 administrative assistance in the case of income and other taxes, the undersigned Plenipotentiaries have agreed that the following provisions shall form an integral part of the Convention:

Ante, p. 895.

 referred to in Article 2 of the present Convention shall include profits from the sale or exchange of the said property, but shall not include interest on mortgages or obligations secured by the said property. III. As used in this Convention: (a)

“Permanent establishment.”

 The term “permanent establishment” includes branches, mines and oil wells, plantations, factories, workshops, stores, purchasing and selling and other offices, agencies, warehouses, and other fixed places of business but does not include a subsidiary corporation. When an enterprise of one of the contracting States carries on business in the other State through an employee or agent, established there, who has general authority to negotiate and conclude contracts or has a stock of merchandise from 59 Stat. 911 which he regularly fills orders which he receives, this enterprise shall be deemed to have a permanent establishment in the latter State. But the fact that an enterprise of one of the contracting States has business dealings in the other State through a bona fide commission agent or broker shall not be held to mean that such enterprise has a permanent establishment in the latter State. Insurance enterprises shall be considered as having a permanent establishment in one of the States as soon as they receive premiums from or insure risks in the territory of that State. (b) The term “enterprise” includes

“Enterprise.”

 every form of undertaking whether carried on by an individual, partnership, corporation, or any other entity. (c) The term “enterprise of one

“Enterprise of one of the contracting States.”

“United States enterprise.”

 means an enterprise carried on in the United States of America by a resident of the United States of America or by a United States corporation or other entity. The term “United States corporation

“United States corporation or other entity.”

 or other entity” means a partnership, corporation or other entity created or organized in the United States of America or under the 59 Stat. 912 law of the United States of America or of any State or Territory of the United States of America. (e)

“French enterprise.”

 The term “French enterprise” is defined in the same manner, mutatis mutandis, as the term “United States enterprise”. IV

“Life annuities.”

 The term “life annuities” referred

Ante, p. 898,

 to in Article 8 of this Convention means a stated sum payable periodically at stated times during life, or during a specified number of years to the person who has paid the premiums or a gross sum for such an obligation. V

Taxes on citizens, etc., of other State, restriction.

 Citizens and corporations or other entities of one of the contracting States within the other contracting State shall not be subjected as regards the taxes referred to in the present Convention, to the payment of higher taxes than are imposed upon the citizens or corporations or other entities of such latter State. VI

Exemptions, etc.

 The provisions of the present Convention shall not be construed to restrict in any manner any exemption, deduction, credit, allowance, or other advantage accorded by the laws of one of the contracting States in the determination of the tax imposed by such State. VII

Publication, etc., of documents and information, restriction.

 Documents and information contained therein, transmitted wider the provisions of this Con59 Stat. 913vention by one of the contracting States to the other contracting State shall not be published, revealed or disclosed to any person except to the extent permitted under the laws of the latter State with respect to similar documents or information. VIII As used in this Convention the

“Competent authority.”

 term “competent authority” or “competent authorities” means, in the case of the United States of America, the Secretary of the Treasury and in the case of France, the Minister of Finance. IX The term “United States of

“United States of America.”

 America” as used in this Convention in a geographic sense includes only the States, the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii, and the District of Columbia. X The term “France”, when used

“France.”

 in a geographic sense, indicates continental France, exclusive of Algeria and the Colonies. XI Should any difficulty or doubt

Questions of interpretation, etc.

 arise as to the interpretation or application of the present Convention, or its relationship to Conventions between one of the contracting States and any other State, the competent authorities of the contracting States may settle the question by mutual agreement.

[seal] Georges Bonnet PROTOCOLE

Au moment de procéderà la signature de la présente Convention tendant à éviter les doubles impositions et à établir des règles 59 Stat. 910 d’assistance administrative réciproque en matière d’impôts sur le revenu et autres impôts, les Plénipotentiaires soussignés ont fait la déclaration concordante suivante qui forme partie intégrante de la Convention même:

I.

La présente Convention est conclue en l’état des législations française et américaine à la date de la signature.

Consultation.

Par suite, si ces législations venaient à être sensiblement modifiées, les autorités fiscales compétentes des deux Etats se concerteraient.

 II.

Real property.

 Les revenus des biens immobiliers

Ante, p. 895.

 visés à l’article 2 de la présente Convention comprennent les bénéfices provenant de la vente ou de l’échange desdits biens mais ne comprennent pas les intérêts sur hypothèques ou obligations garanties par les mêmes biens. III. Pour l’application de la présente Convention: (a)

“Permanent establishment.”

 Le terme “établissement stable” désigne les succursales, exploitations minières et pétrolifères, plantations, fabriques, ateliers, magasins, bureaux, comptoirs d’achat et de vente, agences, dépôts et autres centres fixes d’affaires mais ne comprend pas les sociétés filiales. Lorsqu’une entreprise de l’un des Etats contractants fait des affaires dans l’autre Etat par l’entremise d’un employé ou agent y établi qui est investi des pouvoirs nécessaires pour la négociation et la conclusion des contrats ou qui 59 Stat. 911 dispose d’un stock de marchandises pour satisfaire habituellement aux commandes qu’il reçoit, cette entreprise est considérée comme ayant un établissement stable dans ce dernier Etat. Mais, le fait qu’une entreprise de l’un des Etats contractants ait des relations d’affaires dans l’autre Etat par l’intermédiaire d’un commissionnaire ou courtier vraiment autonome ne permet pas de regarder cette entreprise comme ayant un établissement stable dans ce dernier Etat. Les entreprises d’assurances sont considérées comme ayant un établissement stable dans l’un des Etats dès l’instant qu’elles y perçoivent des primes ou qu’elles assurent des risques situés sur le territoire de cet Etat. (b) Le mot “entreprise” comprend

“Enterprise.”

 toute forme d’exploitation appartenant à un particulier, société en nom collectif, société anonyme ou toute autre personne morale. (c) L’expression “entreprise d’un

“Enterprise of one of the contracting States.”

 des Etats contractants” signifie, suivant le cas, “entreprise américaine” ou “entreprise française”. (d) L’expression “entreprise américaine”

“United States enterprise.”

 désigne une entreprise exploitée aux Etats-Unis d’Amérique par un résidant des Etats-Unis d’Amérique ou par une Société ou autre collectivité américaine. L’expression “société ou autre

“United States corporation or other entity.”

 collectivité américaine” désigne toute société ou autre collectivité créée ou organisée dans les Etats-Unis d’Amérique ou suivant les lois des 59 Stat. 912 Etats-Unis d’Amérique ou d’un Etat ou Territoire des Etats-Unis d’Amérique. (e)

“French enterprise.”

 L’expression “entreprise française” se définit de la môme façon, mutatis mutandis, que l’expression “entreprise américaine”. IV

“Life annuities.”

 L’expression “rentes viagères”

Ante, p. 898.

 employée dans l’article 8 de la présente Convention désigne une somme déterminée payable périodiquement à des époques déterminées pendant la vie d’une personne ou pendant un nombre déterminé d’années, à la condition que ce soit cette personne qui ait payé les primes ou versé le capital correspondant à cette obligation. V

Taxes on citizens, etc., of other State, restriction.

 Les citoyens et sociétés ou autres collectivités de l’un des Etats contractants ne seront pas soumis dans l’autre Etat, en ce qui concerne les impôts visés par la présente Convention, à des droits plus élevés que ceux imposés aux citoyens et sociétés ou autres collectivités de ce dernier Etat. VI

Exemptions, etc.

 Les dispositions de la présente Convention ne restreignent pas les exemptions, déductions, réductions (credits) abattements ou autres avantages accordés par la législation de l’un des Etats contractants dans la détermination de l’impôt perçu par cet Etat. VII

Publication, etc., of documents and information, restriction.

 Les documents et les renseignements y contenus, transmis conformément aux dispositions de la 59 Stat. 913 présente Convention par l’un des Etats contractants à l’autre Etat ne seront publiés, révélés ou divulgués à qui que ce soit sauf dans la limite permise par les lois de ce dernier Etat en ce qui concerne les documents ou renseignements analogues. VIII Telle qu’employée dans cette

“Competent authority.”

 Convention, l’expression “autorité compétente” ou “autorités compétentes” signifie, dans le cas des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, le Secrétaire du Trésor et, dans le cas de la France, le Ministre des Finances. IX Le terme “Etats-Unis d’Amérique”

“United States of America.”

 quand il est employé dans un sens géographique comprend seulement les Etats, les Territoires de l’Alaska et d’Hawaii et le District de Columbia. X Le terme “France” quand il est

“France.”

 employé dans un sens géographique ne comprend que la France métropolitaine à l’exclusion de l’Algérie et des Colonies. XI Toute difficulté pouvant surgir

Questions of interpretation, etc.

 au sujet de l’application ou de l’interprétation de la présente Convention ou de ses rapports avec les Conventions passées entre l’un des Etats contractants et un Etat tiers pourra étre résolue par les autorités compétentes des deux Etats contractants qui se consulteront à cet effet.

 agrarian policy and to state assistance to the sugar industry are governed by the internal conditions of each country and in many cases require the approval of Parliament, the Contracting Governments agree that it is desirable that— (a) If and when prices on the free market rise, all necessary steps should be taken to prevent the rise in world prices from leading on the one hand to an increase of internal prices for consumers such as would be likely to check consumption, and on the other hand to a rise of wholesale prices (beyond the level required to secure a fair return for growers and producers) to such a point as to stimulate excess production not justified by the requirements of the market, thus defeating the object of the present Agreement; (b) In sugar exporting countries whose internal prices are not directly affected by a rise in the world price of sugar, all necessary steps should be taken to prevent the increase in the returns received from sugar production for export from causing the same difficulty by stimulating excessive and unjustified production.
59 Stat. 926
Article 5.

Encouragement of increased consumption.

 The Contracting Governments agree that, as far as possible, favourable consideration should be given to all proposals haying for their object:— (a) the reduction of disproportionate fiscal burdens on sugar; (b) the encouragement and support of all efforts to promote increased consumption of sugar in countries in which consumption is low by means of suitable publicity campaigns or by other effective means both on the national and, where considered appropriate, on the international plane; (c) appropriate action to check the abuses resulting from the substitution for sugar of substances having no comparable food value; (d) the search for new and alternative uses for sugar, within the framework of national activities.
Article 6. The Council shall— (a)

Studies by Council.

 make a full study, acting if it considers it desirable in conjunction with appropriate international organisations such as the International Institute of Agriculture, of the various forms of state assistance in order in particular to formulate proposals for carrying out the principle laid down in Article 4, taking into account the varying conditions under which sugar production is carried on, and, in particular, the conditions of agricultural production; (b) enquire into the effect on the free market of direct or indirect premiums granted to sugar-producing industries in general; (c) examine the possibility of promoting between white sugar exporting countries reciprocal agreements to respect their national markets; (d) collect available information in regard to the matters dealt with in Article 5; (e) submit the results of enquiries made in regard to the matters dealt with in this Article for the consideration of Contracting Governments.
Article 7.

Undertakings of U. S. Government.

 to the United States, its territories and possessions, except the Commonwealth of the Philippines, to permit during each calendar year a net importation from foreign countries not enjoying preferential duty rates (i. e., the quantity by which imports from such countries exceed total exports to the world market, it being understood that supplies from the Commonwealth of the Philippines and re-exports of Cuban sugar from the United States are not to be included in reckoning net importation) of a quantity of sugar which shall be a proportion of the quantity needed to meet the requirements of consumers in continental United States at least equal to the proportion allotted to such foreign countries during the calendar year 1937 in accordance with General Sugar Quota Regulations, Series 4, No. 1, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture on the 12th December, 1936. If the quota of the Commonwealth of the Philippines should be reduced below an amount equal to 800,000 long tons of unrefined sugar plus 50,000 long tons of refined sugar, the Government of the United States further undertakes to permit a net importation (as defined above) from foreign countries of a net quantity of sugar equal to the amount of such reduction. (b) Furthermore, in the allocation of import quotas to foreign countries as provided above, the Government of the United States undertakes that the percentage so allotted to countries parties to the present Agreement shall not in the aggregate be less than the percentage allotted to those countries at the time of the signature of the Agreement. (c) The Government of the United States reserves the right to increase the net imports of sugar (as defined above) from foreign countries not enjoying preferential duty rates over and above the minimum import quotas to be allocated to them under the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, such excess not to be chargeable to the export quotas of such foreign countries and not to be included in reckoning the net importation for the purposes of paragraph (a).

Undertakings by Government of Commonwealth of the Philippines.

 undertakes, so long as the United States maintains a quota for Philippine sugar of not less than an amount equal to 800,000 long tons of unrefined sugar plus 50,000 long tons of refined sugar per calendar year, not to export sugar to countries other than the United States, its territories and possessions, until additional export quotas are allotted under Article 20 of the present Agreement. In the event of such

Post, p. 931.

 additional quotas being allotted, the Commonwealth of the Philippines will be entitled to export to the free market during the period for which such additional quotas are in force an amount equal to 4 per cent, of the aggregate of such additional quotas. (b) In the event of a reduction in the quota for Philippine sugar for importation into the United States below a quantity equal to 59 Stat. 928 800,000 long tons of unrefined sugar plus 50,000 long tons of refined sugar per calendar year, the Commonwealth of the Philippines shall be allotted a basic export quota for the free market equal to the quantity by which such quota in the United States is reduced plus the 4 per cent, above mentioned. (c) The Government of the Commonwealth of the Philippines will not claim any quota for export to the free market because of any change which may take place during the period of the present Agreement in the tariff conditions under which Philippine sugar is admitted into the United States, and in return the Contracting Governments agree not to claim, in virtue of any most-favoured-nation rights granted to them by the Government of the United States, the benefit of any advantages with respect to sugar which may be accorded to, or agreed upon with, the Philippines by the Government of the United States during the period of the present Agreement.
Article 11.

Provided that there shall be reserved for exporters to the free market a percentage of the increase so calculated not less than the percentage of the aforesaid requirements supplied by the exporters to the free market in the year ending on the 31st August, 1937.

 (b) The Governments of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth

Estimates.

 of Australia and the Union of South Africa, in consultation with the Council, shall determine before the commencement of each quota year the estimated amount of the increase in requirements as aforesaid for that year, and the said Governments will thereupon notify the Council what amount of such estimated increase will be added to the standard quantity referred to in Article 11 (a) above or the export quotas referred to in Articles 11 (b), 12 and 13 as the case may be, and what amount will be available for exporters to the free market. (c) The Governments of the Commonwealth of Australia and of the Union of South Africa agree not to claim any increase of their basic quotas, as fixed in Articles 12 and 13 respectively, in the year commencing the 1st September, 1937, without prejudice to their rights to their full share in the increase in future years of the aforesaid requirements as compared with the year ending the 31st August, 1937, and their shares of the increase of requirements in the year commencing the 1st September, 1937, shall be made available for exporters to the free market. (d) If in any year the actual increase of requirements calculated as aforesaid exceeds or falls short of the estimate made as provided in paragraph (b) of this Article, a correction shall if necessary be made by deduction from or addition to the quotas for the next succeeding year.
Article 15. The provisions of Articles 22, 23 and 25 shall apply to the export

 quotas fixed by Articles 11, 12 and 13 above, and these quotas shall also be subject to the rules of paragraph (a) of Article 24 regarding notification of inability to utilise quotas, in the same way as if the said quotas were quotas for export to the free market. In the event of such notification of inability to utilise quotas the parts not to be utilised may be redistributed among the other territories referred to in Articles 11, 12 and 13.
Article 16. (a) The Government of India undertakes to prohibit exports of

   Total 3,622,500
(b)

It is further provided that 47,500 tons for the free market shall be placed in reserve. This reserve quota, if needed, will be at the disposal of those Governments which, while they have no separate quotas, have before signing the present Agreement, taken measures to balance their production and consumption, and have not been 59 Stat. 931 habitual exporters, in order that they may be able in any particular year to export an unexpected surplus of output.

Yugoslavia shall in any case have a claim on the reserve up to 12,500 tons during each year of the Agreement.

France will be entitled to place upon the free market a possible surplus of production, whether home or colonial, up to the balance of the reserve after deducting any amount utilised by Yugoslavia.

 (c) If there shall be allotted to the Commonwealth of the Philippines, under the provisions of Article 10, a basic export quota, that

Ante, p. 927.

 quota shall be subject in all respects to the same provisions as the export quotas set out in paragraph (a) of this Article. (d) In the event of a non-signatory Government acceding to the present Agreement in accordance with Article 49 a basic export quota

 may be assigned to it in agreement with the said Government by the Council acting by unanimity of the votes cast.
Article 20. If the Council shall at any time decide by three-fifths of the votes

Additional quotas.

 cast that, having regard to the requirements of the market, additional supplies are desirable, it shall allot additional quotas to all the countries concerned for such period (not exceeding one year) as it may decide, the additional quotas for each country being proportional to the basic quota of that country. The Council shall at the same time make a corresponding proportionate increase in the reserve quota. Yugoslavia shall have a claim on such increase in the reserve quota proportionate to its claim on the original amount of the reserve. Furthermore, the Council shall, in accordance with Article 10, allot to the Commonwealth of the Philippines an export quota equal to 4 per cent, of the aggregate of the additional quotas allotted, including the increase in the reserve quota.
Article 21. (a) The Council shall be empowered for the year beginning the

Reduction of quotas.

 1st September, 1937, and /or the year beginning the 1st September, 1938, to reduce export quotas by a uniform percentage not exceeding 5 per cent, if, after a survey of the probable requirements of the market for the year in question, it decides that such reduction is necessary. For this purpose export quotas shall be deemed to be the basic quotas after deducting any part of such quotas released under Article 24 (a) or adding any special allocations made under Article 24 (b) for the years in question. (b) In subsequent years, it shall be open to the Council to recommend at any time whether, and to what extent, a reduction would be desirable, but such reduction shall come into force only if all the members of the Council representing countries entitled to basic quotas or to participation in the reserve, consent to it.
59 Stat. 932
Article 22.

Adherence to quotas.

 Each Contracting Government to which an export quota has been or may be allotted undertakes to ensure that net exports from its territories to the free market for any given quota year shall not exceed the export quota in force for it in that year under the provisions of the present Agreement.
Article 23.

Deficiency in quota.

If in any year of the Agreement a Contracting Government should not export its quota or any part of it, it shall not thereby acquire any right to an increase of its quota in the following year.

Nevertheless, if the Government of Czechoslovakia proves to the satisfaction of the Executive Committee that, owing to a low or high water level or the presence of ice on the Elbe, Czechoslovakia has been unable to export her full quota in any quota year, the Czechoslovak Government may be permitted to export the deficiency during the first three months of the next quota year, in addition to her quota for that year.
Article 24. (a)

Redistribution.

 Each Contracting Government shall notify the Council, as soon as possible, if it does not propose to make use of its export quota, or any part of it, in any quota year, so that the quantities which will not be used may be redistributed (i) among the other Contracting Governments which notify the Council that they are in a position to use them and (ii) to the reserve quota. Subject to paragraph (b) below, this redistribution shall be made pro rata according to the basic quotas. (b)

Cases of special hardship.

 The Council shall in any given quota year have power to use up to 25 per cent, of the quotas available for redistribution or up to 50,000 metric tons of such quotas, whichever shall be the larger amount, to meet proved cases of special hardship. Nevertheless, if in a particular year the amount available for redistribution should be less than 30,000 tons, the Council shall have power, should a proved case of special hardship arise, to allot to meet the necessities of that case an amount up to 30,000 tons. The excess of this amount over the amount available for redistribution shall constitute an increase of the supplies to the free market and the quotas of other Contracting Governments shah not be affected. (c)

The Governments of the following countries have given notice that during the quota year beginning on the 1st September, 1937, they will not make use of the parts of their export quotas herein indicated:—

Tons.
Belgium 5,000
Germany 70,000
Hungary 20,000
Poland 20,000
U.S.S.R. 11,500
59 Stat. 933

The French Government has given notice that during the above-mentioned quota year the reserve quota may be reduced by 22,500 tons.
Article 25. Neither the basic quotas nor the export quotas for a particular year nor any additional quotas may be ceded by one Contracting Government to another.
Chapter V.— Stocks.
Article 26. (a) While the Contracting Governments fully realise that due regard must be had to the necessity of maintaining adequate reserve supplies to meet unexpected demands, they agree that it is undesirable that excessive stocks of sugar which would weigh on the market should be accumulated in their respective countries. (b) Those Contracting Governments to which export quotas have been or may be allotted under the present Agreement, undertake so to regulate their production that the stocks in their respective countries shall not exceed, for each country, on a fixed date in each year to be agreed with the Council, an amount equal to 25 per cent, of its annual production. (c) Nevertheless, the Council may if it considers that such action is justified by special circumstances allot to any country a stock in excess of 25 per cent, of its production. (d) On account of its special situation in connection with exports to the United States and the requirements of Contract No. 4 on the New York Sugar Exchange, the Republic of Cuba may have at the end of each calendar year as stocks (1) for the United States an amount not to exceed 30 per cent, of its export quota to that country, (2) for the free market, an amount not to exceed 300,000 metric tons, provided that a system of control is maintained by the Government of the Republic of Cuba, by means of identity certificates or otherwise, which ensures that such stocks are used for those purposes. (e) Having regard to the special conditions of production in the Netherlands East Indies, that territory shall be permitted to have a stock not exceeding 500,000 tons on the 1st April in each year. (f) Hungary shall be permitted to have a stock of 30 per cent, of its annual production.
Article 27. Those Contracting Governments to which free market export quotas have been allotted agree in respect of their cane producing territories to regulate sugar production in those territories, unless prevented from doing so by drought, flood or other adverse conditions, so that stocks shall equal, on a fixed date in each year to be agreed with the Council, an amount not less than 10 per cent, of their respective export quotas for such year, provided nothing in this Article shall be construed as requiring any country to produce in excess of its basic export quota specified in Article 19 during either of the years 1937–38 or 1938–39.

At the moment of signing the Agreement regarding the Regulation of the Production and Marketing of Sugar of to-day’s date, the signatory Governments agree that the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland shall take between this date and the assumption of its duties by the Provisional Council referred to below any steps necessary as transitional measures, including the convening of the first session of the said Provisional Council, which shall be held in London as soon as possible, the preparation of the agenda for that session, and the making of all necessary arrangements. 2. The said Governments agree to appoint, as soon as possible,

Provisional council.

 representatives who shall constitute a Provisional Council, which shall exercise all the functions of the International Sugar Council to be set up under that Agreement, and which shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of Chapter VI of the said Agreement, provided

Ante, p. 934.

 that no decisions of such a Provisional Council shall be binding on the signatory Governments prior to the coming into force of the Agreement. 3. Within a period of forty days from the date of its signature of

Ratifications.

 the Agreement, each signatory Government will communicate to the Government of the United Kingdom a statement as to its position in regard to ratification. 4. If any Government is unable for constitutional reasons to obtain the necessary parliamentary authority for ratification before the 1st 59 Stat. 944 September, 1937, the signatory Governments agree to accept provisionally as equivalent to ratification for the purposes of bringing the Agreement into force on that date a declaration by that Government that it will provisionally accept the obligations of the Agreement as from that date and will ratify it as soon as possible. Should the ratification of such Government not be deposited before the 1st January, 1938, the Contracting Governments shall have the right to decide whether or not the Agreement is to be maintained in force. 5. Each signatory Government undertakes to ensure that so far as its territories are concerned the situation as regards production, export and import of sugar shall not be modified in a manner contrary to the aims of the Agreement during the period between the date of its signature and the date of entry into force of the Agreement. Any infringement of this undertaking shall be equivalent to a violation of the Agreement. 6.

Position of Canadian Government.

 The signatory Governments take note of the following declaration, which was made to the Conference by the delegate of the Government of Canada:—

“I desire to make a brief statement regarding the position of the Government of Canada. After an examination of the Convention, necessarily hurried, the Government of Canada regret that they have not found it possible to authorise signature at the present time. They are, of course, sympathetic with the aim of the Conference of averting uneconomic production, but the position of Canada at this Conference as an importer and consumer of sugar is so different from that of almost all the other countries represented that they desire a further period of time to study the effect of the specific proposals of the Convention on that position; and in the light of that study to decide whether it would be possible to accede later. At the same time, the Government of Canada reiterate the assurance already given that they do not propose to stimulate the production of sugar in Canada during the term of this agreement by subsidy, increased protection, special remission of taxes, or by any other similar measures.”

 (1)

Prohibition of embarkation of yellow fever sufferers.

 Les personnes atteintes, ou soupconnées d’être atteintes de fièvre jaune, ne pourront être admises à s’embarquer à bord d’un aéronef pour un voyage international. (2)

Diagnosis in doubtful cases.

 Les Parties Contractantes prendront toutes les mesures possibles pour établir l’existence ou la non-existence de la fièvre jaune sur leurs territoires. A cette fin, dans les territoires où l’on suspecte la présence de la fièvre jaune à l’etat endémique, s’il existe des cas de malades mourant dans les dix jours après le début d’une maladie fébrile non diagnostiquée, il est important qu’un spécimen des tissus du foie soit prélevé, si nécessaire par viscérotomie, pour 59 Stat. 1001 examen histopathologique. En outre, dans les zones d’endémicité, on fera, si possible, un prélèvement de sang pour rechercher la réaction d’immunité à la fièvre jaune sur chaque personne atteinte d’une fièvre non diagnostiquée; si la cause de la fièvre reste douteuse, et si le malade guérit, un second prélèvement de sang devrait être fait à la fin de la troisième semaine à partir du début de la maladie. (3) Aux fins de l’application du

Boundaries of endemic yellow fever areas.

 régime de quarantaine, l’UNRRA devra, en consultation avec les gouvemements intéressés, et, en ce qui concerne l’hémisphère occidental, avec le Bureau d’hygiène panaméricain, délimiter les zones où la fièvre jaune existe à l’état endémique. (4) Les Parties Contractantes

Inoculation before arrival in area.

 s’efforceront de veiller à ce que toutes personnes qui pourraient être appelées a atterrir dans une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune soient vaccinées contre la fièvre jaune dix jours avant l’arrivée dans cette zone et ensuite revaccinées tous les quatre ans aussi longtemps qu’elles y séjourneront. (5) (a) La vaccination contre la

 fievre jaune sera obligatoire pour tout le personnel ordinaire et les équipages utilisant des aérodromes autorisés situés dans les zones d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune. (b) Dans les régions oû la fièvre jaune n’existe pas, mais où les conditions de son développement existent, la vaccination de ce personnel et des èquipages est recommandée. (6) Toutes les personnes vaccinées

Inoculation certificate.

 en exécution des dispositions des paragraphes (4) et (5) du présent Article seront munies d’un certificat de vaccination signé 59 Stat. 1002 par l’agent ayant effectué la vaccination et devront en être porteurs. Ce certificat doit être conforme à le modèle international de certificat de vaccination contre la fièvre jaune annexée ci-après. (7) Les personnes en possession d’un certificat valable de vaccination contre la fièvre jaune ne seront pas soumises aux restrictions de quarantine instituées pour combattre la fiévre jaune. (8) A défaut d’un certificat valable de vaccination contre la fièvre jaune, on acceptera un certificat attestant que le porteur est remis d’un accès de fièvre jaune et que son sang contient des anticorps contre la fievre jaune, la preuve en ayant été faite par l’emploi d’un test appliqué par un institut exécutant habituellement des tests biologiques de fièvre jaune et agréé à cet effet par le gouvernement du pays intéressé. (9) Toute personne ne possédant pas un certificat valable de vaccination contre la fièvre jaune sera considérée comme ayant été exposée au risque de contagion pendant la durée de son séjour dans une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune. (10)

Standards for yellow fever vaccine.

 L’UNRRA établira les standards auxquels le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune devra répondre. (11) Les Parties Contractantes prendront des dispositions pour vérifier à de fréquents intervalles l’efficacité du vaccin d’immunisation en usage contre la fièvre jaune. A cette fin, l’UNRRA désignera de temps à autre, en consultation avec les gouvernements intéressés, et, en ce qui concerne l’hémisphère occidental, avec le Bureau d’hygiene panaméricain, les instituts qui seront 59 Stat. 1003 agréés pour procéder à ces vérifications.

 (1) être situé à une distance adéquate des lieux habités les plus proches;**Pour tout ce qui concerne la lutte contre les moustiques, le périmètre de l’aerodrome sera défini comme la ligne qui circonscrit la zone où se trouvent les bâtiments de l’aérodrome et tout terrain utilisé ou susceptible d’être utilisé pour le stationnement des aéronefs. Une zone non construite de 400 mètres doit être maintenue autour du périmètre de tout aérodrome situé sur les grandes lignes de communication aériennes et qui se trouve dans une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune. (2) être pourvu d’un système d’approvisionnement en eau complètement protégé contre les moustiques, et être maintenu autant que possible libre de moustiques par des mesures systématiques de suppression des nids d’incubation et de destruction des insectes à tous les stades de leur développement; (3) être pourvu d’habitations à l’epreuve des moustiques pour les 59 Stat. 1004 équipages et le personnel de l’aérodrome; (4)

être pourvu d’habitations à l’epreuve des moustiques pour le logement et l’hospitalisation des passagers.

Afin d’éliminer les insectes vecteurs de la fièvre jaune, les Parties Contractantes rendront et maintiendront libres de ces insectes: (a) les aérodromes et leurs environs dans les zones d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune; (b) les aérodromes situés hors des zones d’endémicité, mais dans lesquels la maladie risque d’être introduite.

Disinsectization of aircraft.

Comme mesure immédiate contre le transport des vecteurs de la fièvre jaune, une désinsectisation des aéronefs sera effectuée à chaque aérodrome situé dans une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune et, particulièrement, au départ du dernier aérodrome situé dans une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune.

Quarantine.

Dans tout territoire compris dans une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune, les autorités sanitaires auront toute latitude pour imposer, à l’égard d’autres territories situés dans cette même zone, les mesures de quarantaine qui sont autorisées par la Convention de 1933, telle qu’elle a été modifiée par la présente Convention. Les passagers en bonne santé et les membres de l’équipage non porteurs de certificat valable de vaccination ne pourront être retenus à l’aérodrome de départ. Ils seront autorisés à partir, les mesures de quarantaine nécessaires étant prises au premier aérodrome d’arrivée dans une zone menacée.

 la Convention de 1933, telle qu’elle a été modifiée par la présente Convention; (b) à l’arrivée au premier aérodrome, les aéronefs provenant d’une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune seront désinsectisés. (2) Toute personne faisant par voie aérienne un voyage d’une zone d’endémicité de la fièvre jaune vers une autre zone où la fièvre jaune n’existe pas, mais où les conditions pourraient en permettre le développement, sera traitée de la façon suivante au premier point d’arrêt dans cette autre zone: (a) si elle est en possession d’un certificat valable de vaccination contre la fièvre jaune, elle sera autorisée à continuer son voyage sans subir les restrictions de quarantaine concernant la fièvre jaune; 59 Stat. 1006 (b) si elle n’est pas en possession d’un certificat valable de vaccination contre la fièvre jaune, elle pourra être isolée dans des locaux dûment pourvus de grillages jusqu’au moment où le certificat deviendra valable ou jusqu’a l’expiration d’un délai de six jours, suivant que l’une ou l’autre circonstance se produira la première. (3)

Certificates of Urgency.

Nonobstant les dispositions précédentes du présent Article, les Parties Contractantes peuvent (mais seulement dans des cas tout à fait exceptionnels) délivrer à des personnes non-vaccinées dont le libre passage est absolument et immédiatement essentiel pour des raisons de haute politique, des certificats d’urgence attestant qu’il est de nécessité urgente de laisser passer sans entraves le porteur du certificat.

La forme exacte et le mode de délivrance du certificat, ainsi que le caractère de l’autorité qui aura qualité pour l’émettre, feront l’objet d’arrangements et de communications entre les gouvernements intéressés.

Les Parties Contractantes s’engagent à accorder le fibre passage aux porteurs de ces certificats, mais les déplacements de ces personnes seront, autant que possible, restreints pendant les escales sur les lignes aériennes à des locaux dûment pourvus de grillages qu’elles ne devront quitter que pour se rendre à l’aeronef.

STATUTE OF THE

INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE

SAN FRANCISCO · 1945

 59 Stat. 1035 CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS

WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED

to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS.

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.

59 Stat. 1037 CHAPTER I PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES
Article 1 The Purposes of the United Nations are: 1. To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace; 2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace; 3. To achieve international cooperation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and 4. To be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.
Article 2 The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles. 1. The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members. 2. All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfil in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter. 3. All Members shall settle their international
disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. 4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations. 5. All Members shall give the United Nations every assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the present Charter, and shall refrain from giving assistance to any state against which the United Nations is taking preventive or enforcement action. 6. The Organization shall ensure that states which are not Members of the United Nations act in accordance with these Principles so far as may be necessary for the maintenance of international peace and security. 7. Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII.
CHAPTER II MEMBERSHIP
Article 3 The original Members of the United Nations shall he the states which, having participated in the United Nations Conference on International Organization at San Francisco, or having previously signed the Declaration by United Nations of January 1, 1942, sign the present Charter and ratify it in accordance with Article 110.
59 Stat. 1038
Article 4 1. Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the Judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations. 2.

CHAPTER I ORGANIZATION OF THE COURT

Article 3 1. The Court shall consist of fifteen members, no two of whom may be nationals of the same state. 2.

those prescribed for members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration by Article 44 of the Convention of The Hague of 1907 for the pacific settlement of international disputes. 3. The conditions under which a state which is a party to the present Statute but is not a Member of the United Nations may participate in electing the members of the Court shall, in the absence of a special agreement, be laid down by the General Assembly upon recommendation of the Security Council.

Article 8 The General Assembly and the Security Council shall proceed independently of one another to elect the members of the Court.

If the joint conference is unanimously agreed upon any person who fulfils the required conditions, he may be included in its list, even though he was not included in the list of nominations referred to in Article 7. 3.

59 Stat. 1060

This provision shall not apply if such state is bearing a share of the expenses of the Court.
Article 36 1. The jurisdiction of the Court comprises all cases which the parties refer to it and all matters specially provided for in the Charter of the United Nations or in treaties and conventions in force. 2.

59 Stat. 1076
décisions du Conseil de Sécurité pour le maintien de la paix et de la sécurité internationales sont prises par tous les Membres des Nations Unies ou certains d’entre eux, selon l’appréciation du Conseil. 2. Ces décisions sont exécutées par les Membres des Nations Unies directement et grâce à leur action dans les organismes internationaux appropriés dont ils font partie.
Article 49 Les Membres des Nations Unies s’associent pour se prêter mutuellement assistance dans l’exécution des mesures arrêtées par le Conseil de Sécurité.

Article 51 Aucune disposition de la présente Charte ne porte atteinte au droit naturel de légitime défense, individuelle ou collective, dans le cas où un Membre des Nations Unies est l’objet d’une agression armée, jusqu’à ce que le Conseil de Sécurité ait pris les mesures nécessaires pour maintenir la paix et la sécurité internationales. Les mesures prises par des Membres dans l’exercice de ce droit de légitime défense sont immédiatement portées à la connaissance du Conseil de Sécurité et n’affectent en rien le pouvoir et le devoir qu’a le Conseil, en vertu de la présente Charte, d’agir à tout moment de la manière qu’il juge nécessaire pour maintenir ou rétablir la paix et la sécurité internationales.
CHAPITRE VIII ACCORDS REGIONAUX
Article 52 1. Aucune disposition de la présente Charte ne s’oppose à l’existence d’accords ou d’organismes régionaux destinés à régler les affaires qui, touchant au maintien de la paix et de la sécurité internationales, se prêtent à une action de caractère régional, pourvu que ces accords ou ces organismes et leur activité soient compatibles avec les Buts et les Principes des Nations Unies. 2. Les Membres des Nations Unies qui concluent ces accords ou constituent ces organismes doivent faire tous leurs efforts pour régler d’une manière pacifique, par le moyen desdits accords ou organismes, les différends d’ordre local, avant de les soumettre au Conseil de Sécurité. 3. Le Conseil de Sécurité encourage le développement du règlement pacifique des différends d’ordre local par le moyen de ces accords ou de ces organismes régionaux, soit sur l’initiative des Etats intéressés, soit sur renvoi du Conseil de Sécurité. 4. Le présent article n’affecte en rien l’application des articles 34 et 35.
Article 53 1. Le Conseil de Sécurité utilise, s’il y a lieu, les accords ou organismes régionaux pour l’application des mesures coercitives prises sous son autorité.

La Cour, dans les conditions prescrites par son Règlement, pourra demander aux organisations internationales publiques des renseignements relatifs aux affaires portées devant elle, et recevra également les dits renseignements qui lui seraient présentés par ces organisations de leur propre initiative. 3. Lorsque l’interprétation de l’acte constitutif d’une organisation internationale publique ou celle d’une convention internationale adoptée en vertu de cet acte est mise en question dans une affaire soumise à la Cour, le Greffier en avise cette organisation et lui communique toute la procédure écrite.
Article 35 1. La Cour est ouverte aux Etats parties au présent Statut. 2. Les conditions auxquelles elle est ouverte aux autres Etats sont, sous réserve des dispositions particulières des traités en vigueur, réglées par le Conseil de Sécurité, et, dans tous les cas, sans qu’il puisse en résulter pour les parties aucune inégalité devant la Cour. 3. Lorsqu’un Etat, qui n’est pas Membre des Nations Unies, est partie en cause, la Cour fixera la contribution aux frais de la Cour que cette partie devra supporter. Toutefois, cette disposition ne s’appliquera pas, si cet Etat participe aux dépenses de la Cour.
59 Stat. 1092
Article 36 1. La compétence de la Cour s’étend à toutes les affaires que les parties lui soumettront, ainsi qu’à tous les cas spécialement prévus dans la Charte des Nations Unies ou dans les traités et conventions en vigueur. 2.

Les Etats parties au présent Statut, pourront, à n’importe quel moment, déclarer reconnaître comme obligatoire de plein droit et sans convention spéciale, à l’égard de tout autre Etat acceptant la même obligation, la juridiction de la Cour sur tous les différends d’ordre juridique ayant pour objet:

a. l’interprétation d’un traité; b. tout point de droit international; c. la réalité de tout fait qui, s’il était établi, constituerait la violation d’un engagement international; d. la nature ou l’étendue de la réparation due pour la rupture d’un engagement international. 3. Les déclarations ci-dessus visées pourront être faites purement et simplement ou sous condition de réciprocité de la part de plusieurs ou de certains Etats, ou pour un délai déterminé. 4. Ces déclarations seront remises au Secrétaire Général des Nations Unies qui en transmettra copie aux parties au présent Statut ainsi qu’au Greffier de la Cour. 5. Les déclarations faites en application de l’article 36 du Statut de la Cour Permanente de Justice Internationale pour une durée qui n’est pas encore expirée seront considérées, dans les rapports entre parties au présent Statut, comme comportant acceptation de la juridiction obligatoire de la Cour Internationale de Justice pour la durée restant à courir d’après ces déclarations et conformément à leurs termes. 6. En cas de contestation sur le point de savoir si la Cour est compétente, la Cour décide.
Article 37 Lorsqu’un traité ou une convention en vigueur prévoit le renvoi à une juridiction que devait instituer la Société des Nations ou à la Cour Permanente de Justice Internationale, la Cour Internationale de Justice constituera cette juridiction entre les parties au présent Statut.
Article 38 1.

La Cour, dont la mission est de régler conformément au droit international les différends qui lui sont soumis, applique:

NOSOTROS LOS PUEBLOS DE LAS NACIONES UNIDAS RESUELTOS

a preservar a las generaciones venideras del flagelo de la guerra, que dos veces durante nuestra vida ha infligido a la humanidad sufrimientos indecibles, a reafirmar la fe en los derechos fundamentales del hombre, en la dignidad y el valor de la persona humana, en la igualdad de derechos de hombres y mujeres y de las naciones grandes y pequeñas, a crear condiciones bajo las cuales puedan mantenerse la justicia y el respeto a las obligaciones emanadas de los tratados y de otras fuentes del derecho internacional, a promover el progreso social y a elevar el nivel de vida dentro de un concepto más amplio de la libertad,

Y CON TALES FINALIDADES

a practicar la tolerancia y a convivir en paz como buenos vecinos, a unir nuestras fuerzas para el mantenimiento de la paz y la seguridad internacionales, a asegurar, mediante la aceptación de principios y la adopción de métodos, que no se usará la fuerza armada sino en servicio del interés común, y a emplear un mecanismo internacional para promover el progreso económico y social de todos los pueblos,

HEMOS DECIDIDO AUNAR NUESTROS ESFUERZOS PARA REALIZAR ESTOS DESIGNIOS

Por lo tanto, nuestros respectivos Gobiernos, por medio de representantes reunidos en la ciudad de San Francisco que han exhibido sus plenos poderes, encontrados en buena y debida forma, han convenido en la presente Carta de las Naciones Unidas, y por este acto establecen una organización internacional que se denominará las Naciones Unidas.59 Stat. 1160

CAPITULO I PROPOSITOS Y PRINCIPIOS
Artículo 1 Los Propósitos de las Naciones Unidas son: 1. Mantener la paz y la seguridad internacionales, y con tal fin: tomar medidas colectivas eficaces para prevenir y eliminar amenazas a la paz, y para suprimir actos de agresión u otros quebrantamientos de la paz; y lograr por medios pacíficos, y de conformidad con los principios de la justicia y del derecho internacional, el ajuste o arreglo de controversias o situaciones internacionales susceptibles de conducir a quebrantamientos de la paz; 2. Fomentar entre las naciones relaciones de amistad basadas en el respeto al principio de la igualdad de derechos y al de la libre determinación de los pueblos, y tomar otras medidas adecuadas para fortalecer la paz universal; 3. Realizar la cooperación internacional en la solución de problemas internacionales de carácter económico, social, cultural o humanitario, y en el desarrollo y estímulo del respeto a los derechos humanos y a las libertades fundamentales de todos, sin hacer distinción por motivos de raza, sexo, idioma o religión; y 4. Servir de centro que armonice los esfuerzos de las naciones por alcanzar estos propósitos comunes.
Artículo 2 Para la realización de los Propósitos consignados en el Artículo 1, la Organización y sus Miembros procederán de acuerdo con los siguientes Principios: 1. La Organización está basada en el principio de la igualdad soberana de todos sus Miembros. 2. Los Miembros de la Organización, a fin de asegurarse los derechos y beneficios inherentes a su condición de tales, cumplirán de buena fe las
obligaciones contraídas por ellos de conformidad con esta Carta. 3. Los Miembros de la Organización arreglarán sus controversias internacionales por medios pacíficos de tal manera que no se pongan en peligro ni la paz y la seguridad internacionales ni la justicia. 4. Los Miembros de la Organización, en sus relaciones internacionales, se abstendrán de recurrir a la amenaza o al uso de la fuerza contra la integridad territorial o la independencia política de cualquier Estado, o en cualquier otra forma incompatible con los Propósitos de las Naciones Unidas. 5. Los Miembros de la Organización prestarán a ésta toda clase de ayuda en cualquier acción que ejerza de conformidad con esta Carta, y se abstendrán de dar ayuda a Estado alguno contra el cual la Organización estuviere ejerciendo acción preventiva o coercitiva. 6. La Organización hará que los Estados que no son Miembros de las Naciones Unidas se conduzcan de acuerdo con estos Principios en la medida que sea necesaria para mantener la paz y la seguridad internacionales. 7. Ninguna disposición de esta Carta autorizará a las Naciones Unidas a intervenir en los asuntos que son esencialmente de la jurisdicción interna de los Estados, ni obligará a los Miembros a someter dichos asuntos a procedimientos de arreglo conforme a la presente Carta; pero este principio no se opone a la aplicación de las medidas coercitivas prescritas en el Capítulo VII.

Storage in all major international reservoirs above the lowest shall be maintained at the maximum possible water level, consistent with flood control, irrigation use and power requirements. (b)

Inflows.

Inflows to each reservoir shall be credited to each country in accordance with the ownership of such inflows. (c)

Ownership of water.

In any reservoir the ownership of water belonging to the country whose conservation capacity therein is filled, and in excess of that needed to keep it filled, shall pass to the other country to the extent that such country may have unfilled conservation capacity, except that one country may at its option temporarily use the conservation capacity of the other country not currently being used in any of the upper reservoirs; provided that in the event of flood discharge or spill occurring while one country is using the conservation capacity of the other, all of such flood discharge or spill shall be charged to the country using the other’s capacity, and all inflow shall be credited to the other 59 Stat. 1233country until the flood discharge or spill ceases or until the capacity of the other country becomes filled with its own water. (d) Reservoir losses shall be

 chargedin proportion to the ownership of water in storage. Releases from any reservoir shall be charged to the country requesting them, except that releases for the generation of electrical energy, or other common purpose, shall be charged in proportion to the ownership of water in storage. (e) Flood discharges and spills

Flood discharges and spills.

 from the upper reservoirs shall be divided in the same proportion as the ownership of the inflows occurring at the time of such flood discharges and spills, except as provided in subparagraph (c) of this Article. Flood discharges and spills from the lowest reservoir shall be divided equally, except that one country, with the consent of the Commission, may use such part of the share of the other country as is not used by the latter country. (f) Either of the two countries

 of the respective country shall give appropriate notice to the Commission, which shall prescribe the proper measures for the opportune furnishing of the water.
59 Stat. 1234
Article 9 (a)

Channel of Rio Grande.

Use.

The channel of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) may be used by either of the two countries to convey water belonging to it. (b) Either of the two countries may, at any point on the main channel of the river from Fort Quitman, Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, divert and use the water belonging to it and may for this purpose construct any necessary works. However, no such diversion or use, not existing on the date this Treaty enters into force, shall be permitted in either country, nor shall works be constructed for such purpose, until the Section of the Commission in whose country the diversion or use is proposed has made a finding that the water necessary for such diversion or use is available from the share of that country, unless the Commission has agreed to a greater diversion or use as provided by paragraph (d) of this Article. The proposed use and the plans for the diversion works to be constructed in connection therewith shall be previously made known to the Commission for its information. (c) Consumptive uses from the main stream and from the unmeasured tributaries below Fort Quitman shall be charged against the share of the country making them. (d) The Commission shall have the power to authorize either country to divert and use water not belonging entirely to such country, when the water belonging to the other country can be diverted and used without injury to the latter and can be replaced at some other point on the river. (e) 59 Stat. 1235The Commission shall have the power to authorize temporary diversion and use by one country of water belonging to the other, when the latter does not need it or is unable to use it, proyided that such authorization or the use of such water shall not establish any right to continue to divert it. (f) In case of the occurrence of an extraordinary drought in one country with an abundant supply of water in the other country, water stored in the international storage reservoirs and belonging to the country enjoying such abundant water supply may be withdrawn, with the consent of the Commission, for the use of the country undergoing the drought. (g) Each country shall have the right to divert from the main channel of the river any amount of water, including the water belonging to the other country, for the purpose of generating hydro-electric power, provided that such diversion causes no injury to the other country and does not interfere with the international generation of power and that the quantities not returning directly to the river are charged against the share of the country making the diversion. The feasibility of such diversions not existing on the date this Treaty enters into force shall be determined by the Commission, which shall also determine the amount of water consumed, such water to be charged against the country making the diversion. (h) In case either of the two countries shall construct works for diverting into the main channel of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) or its tributaries waters that do not at the time this Treaty enters into 59 Stat. 1236force contribute to the flow of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) such water shall belong to the country making such diversion. (i) Main stream channel losses shall be charged in proportion to the ownership of water being conveyed in the channel at the times and places of the losses. (j) The Commission shall keep a record of the waters belonging to each country and of those that may be available at a given moment, taking into account the measurement of the allotments, the regulation of the waters in storage, the consumptive uses, the withdrawals, the diversions, and the losses. For this purpose the Commission shall construct, operate and maintain on the main channel of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo), and each Section shall construct, operate and maintain on the measured tributaries in its own country, all the gaging stations and mechanical apparatus necessary for the purpose of making computations and of obtaining the necessary data for such record. The information with respect to the diversions and consumptive uses on the unmeasured tributaries shall be furnished to the Commission by the appropriate Section. The cost of construction of any new gaging stations located on the main channel of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) shall be borne equally by the two Governments. The operation and maintenance of all gaging stations or the cost of such operation and maintenance shall be apportioned between the two Sections in accordance with determinations to be made by the Commission.

Inflows.

Las entradas de agua a cada presa se acreditarán al país a quien pertenezca dicha agua. c)

Ownership of water.

En cualquier vaso de almacenamiento la propiedad del agua perteneciente al país que tenga agua en exceso de la necesaria para mantener llena la capacidad útil que le corresponda, pasará al otro país, hasta que se llene la capacidad útil asignada a éste. Sin embargo, en todos los vasos de almacenamiento superiores, un país, al llenarse la capacidad útil que le pertenezca, podrá usar transitoriamente la capacidad útil del segundo país y que éste no use, siempre que, si en ese momento ocurrieren derrames y desfogues, la totalidad de éstos se cargue al primero y todas las entradas a la presa se consideren propiedad del segundo, hasta que cesen los derrames o desfogues o hasta que 59 Stat. 1233la capacidad útil del segundo se llene con aguas que le pertenezcan. d) Las pérdidas que ocurran en

Reservoir losses.

 los vasos de almacenamiento se cargarán a los dos países en proporción de los respectivos volúmenes almacenados que les pertenezcan. Las extracciones de cualquiera de los vasos se cargarán al país que las solicite, excepto las efectuadas para la generación de energía eléctrica u otro propósito común que se cargarán a cada uno de los dos países en proporción de los respectivos volúmenes almacenados que les pertenezcan. e) Los derrames y desfogues de

Flood discharges and spills.

 los vasos superiores de almacenamiento se dividirán entre los dos países en la misma proporción que guarden los volúmenes pertenecientes a cada uno de ellos de las aguas que entren a los almacenamientos durante el tiempo en que ocurran los citados derrames y desfogues, con excepción del caso previsto en el inciso c) de este Artículo. Los derrames y desfogues de la presa inferíor de almacenamiento se dividirán en partes iguales entre los dos países, pero uno de ellos, con el permiso de la Comisión, podrá usar las aguas correspondientes al otro país que éste no usare. f) Cualquiera de los dos países

El cauce del río Bravo (Grande) podrá ser empleado por los dos países para conducir el agua que les pertenezca. b) Cualquiera de los dos países podrá derivar y usar, en cualquier lugar del cauce principal del río Bravo (Grande) desde Fort Quitman, Texas, hasta el Golfo de México, el agua que le pertenezca y podrá construir, para ello, las obras necesarias. Sin embargo, no podrá, hacerse ninguna derivación o uso en cualquiera de los dos países, fuera de los existentes en la fecha en que entre en vigor este Tratado, ni construirse ningunas obras con aquel fin, hasta que la Sección de la Comisión del país en que se intente hacer la derivación o uso verifique que hay el agua necesaria para ese efecto, dentro de la asignación de ese mismo país, a menos que la Comisión haya convenido, de acuerdo con lo estipulado en el inciso d) de este Artículo, en una derivación o uso en mayor cantidad. El uso proyectado, y los piaños para las correspondientes obras de derivación que deban construírse, al efecto, se darán a conocer previamente a la Comisión para su información. c) Los consumos hechos, abajo de Fort Quitman, en la corriente principal y en los afluentes no aforados, se cargarán a cuenta de la asignación del país que los efectúe. d) La Comisión podrá autorizar que se deriven y usen aguas que no correspondan completamente al país que pretenda hacerlo, cuando el agua que pertenezca al otro país pueda ser derivada y usada sin causarle perjuicio y le sea repuesta en algún otro lugar del río. e) 59 Stat. 1235La Comisión podrá autorizar la derivación y uso transitorios a favor de un país de aguas que pertenezcan al otro, cuando éste no las necesite o no las pueda utilizar y sin que dicha autorización o el uso de las citadas aguas establezca, con relación a las mismas, ningún derecho para continuar derivándolas. f) En los casos en que concurra una extraordinaria sequía en un país con un abundante abastecimiento de agua en el otro país, el agua de éste almacenada en los vasos de almacenamiento internationales podrá ser extraída, con el consentimiento de la Comisión, para uso del país que experimente la sequía. g) Cada uno de los países tendrá el derecho de derivar del cauce principal del río cualquiera cantidad de agua, incluyendo el agua perteneciente al otro país, con el objeto de generar energía hidroeléctrica, siempre que tal derivación no cauce perjuicio al otro país, no interfiera con la generación international de energía eléctrica y que los volúmenes que no retornen directamente al río sean cargados a la participación del país que hizo la derivación. La factibilidad de dichas derivaciones, que no existan al entrar en vigor este Tratado, será determinada por la Comisión, la que también fijará la cantidad de agua consumida que se cargará en cuenta de la participación del país que efectúe la derivación. h) En el caso de que cualquiera de los dos países construya obras para derivar, hacia el cauce principal del río Bravo (Grande) o de sus tributarios, aguas que no contribuyan, en la fecha en que este 59 Stat. 1236Tratado entre en vigor, al escurrimiento del citado río, dicha agua pertenecerá al país que haya hecho esa derivación. i) Las pérdidas de agua ocurridas en la corriente principal serán cargadas a cada país en proporción a los volúmenes conducidos o escurridos que le pertenezcan, en ese lugar del cauce y en el momento en que ocurran las pérdidas. j) La Comisión llevará un registro de las aguas que pertenezcan a cada país y de aquéllas de que pueda disponer en un momento dado, teniendo en cuenta el aforo de las aportaciones, la regularización de los almacenamientos, los consumes, las extracciones, las derivaciones y las pérdidas. Al efecto, la Comisión construirá, operará y mantendrá en la corriente principal del río Bravo (Grande) y cada Sección en los correspondientes afluentes aforados, todas las estaciones hidrométricas y aparatos mecánicos que sean necesaríos para hacer los cálculos y obtener los datos requeridos para el aludido registro. La información respecto a las derivaciones y consumes hechos en los afluentes no aforados será proporcionada por la Sección que corresponda. El costo de construcción de las estaciones hidrométricas nuevas que se localicen en el cauce principal del río Bravo (Grande) se dividirá igualmente entre los dos Gobiernos. La operación y mantenimiento, o el costo de los mismos, de todas las estaciones hidrométricas serán distribuídos entre las dos Secciones, de acuerdo con lo que determine la Comisión.

Cada una de las Secciones de la Comisión fijará en su correspondiente país la extensión y ubicación de las propiedades privadas que deban ser adquiridas y hará a su 59 Stat. 1254respectivo Gobierno la solicitud pertinente para que las adquiera.

Location, etc., of designated works.

La Comisión determinará los casos en que sea necesarío ubicar obras para la conducción de agua o energía eléctrica y para los servicios anexos a las mismas obras, en beneficio de cualquiera de los dos países, en territorio del otro, para que dichas obras puedan construirse por acuerdo de los dos Gobiernos. Dichas obras quedarán bajo la jurisdicción y vigilancia de la Sección de la Comisión del país en que se encuentren.

Rights of property or jurisdiction.

La construcción de las obras, en cumplimiento de las disposiciones de este Tratado, no conferirá a ninguno de los dos países derechos ni de propiedad ni de jurisdicción sobre ninguna parte del territorio del otro. Las obras constituirán parte del territorio y pertenecerán al país dentro del cual se hallen. Sin embargo, para sucesos ocurridos sobre las obras construídas en los tramos limítrofes de los ríos y que se apoyen en ambas márgenes, la jurisdicción de cada país quedará limitada por el eje medio de dichas obras—el cual será, marcado por la Comisión—sin que por eso varíe la línea divisoria internacional.

Cada Gobierno por medio de su respectiva Sección de la Comisión, conservará dentro de los límites y en la extensión necesaria para cumplir con las disposiciones de este Tratado, el dominio directo, control y jurisdicción dentro de su propio territorio y de acuerdo con sus leyes, sobre los inmuebles—incluyendo los que estén dentro del cauce del río—los derechos de vía y los derechos 59 Stat. 1255reales que sea necesario ocupar para la construcción, operación y mantenimiento de todas las obras que se construyan, adquieran o usen de acuerdo con este Tratado. Asimismo, cada Gobierno adquirirá y conservará en su poder, en la misma forma, los títulos, control y jurisdicción sobre tales obras.

“Resolved (two-thirds of the Senators present concurring therein), That the Senate advise and consent to the ratification of Executive A, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session, a treaty between the United States of America and the United Mexican States, signed at Washington on February 3, 1944, relating to the utilization of the waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande from Fort Quitman, Texas, to the Gulf of Mexico, and Executive H, Seventy-eighth Congress, second session, a protocol, signed at Washington on November 14, 1944, supplementary to the treaty, subject to the following understandings, and that these understandings will be mentioned in the ratification of this treaty as conveying the true meaning of the treaty, and will in effect form a part of the treaty:

“(a) That no commitment for works to be built by the United States in whole or in part at its expense, or for expenditures by the 59 Stat. 1264United States, other than those specifically provided for in the treaty, shall be made by the Secretary of State of the United States, the Commissioner of the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, the United States Section of said Commission, or any other officer or employee of the United States, without prior approval of the Congress of the United States. It is understood that the works to be built by the United States, in whole or in part at its expense, and the expenditures by the United States, which are specifically provided for in the treaty, are as follows: “1. The joint construction of the three storage and flood-control dams on the Rio Grande below Fort Quitman, Texas, mentioned in article 5 of the treaty. “2. The dams and other joint works required for the diversion of the flow of the Rio Grande mentioned in subparagraph II of article 5 of the treaty, it being understood that the commitment of the United States to make expenditures under this subparagraph is limited to its share of the cost of one dam and works appurtenant thereto. “3. Stream-gaging stations which may be required under the provisions of section (j) of article 9 of the treaty and of subparagraph (d) of article 12 of the treaty. “4.

Nothing contained in the treaty or protocol shall be construed as impairing the power of the Congress of the United States to define the terms of office of members of the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission or to provide for their appoint-59 Stat. 1265ment by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate or otherwise. “(c) That nothing contained in the treaty or protocol shall be construed as authorizing the Secretary of State of the United States, the Commissioner of the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, or the United States Section of said Commission, directly or indirectly to alter or control the distribution of water to users within the territorial limits of any of the individual States. “(d) That ‘international dam or reservoir’ means a dam or reservoir built across the common boundary between the two countries. “(e) That the words ‘international plants’, appearing in article 19, mean only hydroelectric generating plants in connection with dams built across the common boundary between the two countries. “(f) That the words ‘electric current’, appearing in article 19, mean hydroelectric power generated at an international plant. “(g) That by the use of the words ‘The jurisdiction of the Commission shall extend to the limitrophe parts of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) and the Colorado River, to the land boundary between the two countries, and to works located upon their common boundary * * *’ in the first sentence of the fifth paragraph of article 2, is meant: ‘The jurisdiction of the Commission shall extend and be limited to the limitrophe parts of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) and the Colorado River, to the land boundary between the two countries, and to works located upon their common boundary * * *.’ “(h) The word ‘agreements’ whenever used in subparagraphs (a), (c), and (d) of article 24 of the treaty shall refer only to agreements

Ante, p. 1255.

 entered into pursuant to and subject to the provisions and limitations of treaties in force between the United States of America and the United Mexican States. “(i) The word ‘disputes’ in the second paragraph of article 2 shall have reference only to disputes between the Governments of the United States of America and the United Mexican States. “(j) First, that the one million seven hundred thousand acre-feet specified in subparagraph (b) of article 10 includes and is not in

 addition to the one million five hundred thousand acre-feet, the delivery of which to Mexico is guaranteed in subparagraph (a) of article 10; second, that the one million five hundred thousand acre-feet specified in three places in said subparagraph (b) is identical with the one million five hundred thousand acre-feet specified in said subparagraph (a); third, that any use by Mexico under said subparagraph (b) of quantities of water arriving at the Mexican points of diversion in excess of said one million five hundred thousand acre-feet shall not give rise to any future claim of right by Mexico in excess of said guaranteed quantity of one million five hundred thousand acre-feet of water. “(k) The United States recognizes a duty to require that the protective structures to be constructed under article 12, paragraph

Ante, p. 1239.

 59 Stat. 1266(a), of this treaty, are so constructed, operated, and maintained as to adequately prevent damage to property and lands within the United States from the construction and operation of the diversion structure referred to in said paragraph.” And whereas the said treaty and protocol were duly ratified by the President of the United States of America on November 1, 1945, in pursuance of the aforesaid advice and consent of the Senate and subject to the aforesaid understandings on the part of the United States of America; And whereas the said treaty and protocol were duly ratified by the President of the United Mexican States on October 16, 1945, in pursuance and according to the terms of a Decree of September 27, 1945 of the Senate of the United Mexican States approving the said treaty and protocol and approving the said understandings on the part of the United States of America in all that refers to the rights and obligations between the parties; And whereas it is provided in Article 28 of the said treaty that the treaty shall enter into force on the day of the exchange of ratifications; And whereas it is provided in the said protocol that the protocol shall be regarded as an integral part of the said treaty and shall be effective beginning with the day of the entry into force of the said treaty; And whereas the respective instruments of ratification of the said treaty and protocol were duly exchanged, and a protocol of exchange of instruments of ratification was signed in the English and Spanish languages, by the respective Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America and the United Mexican States on November 8, 1945, the English text of which protocol of exchange of instruments of ratification reads in part as follows:

“The ratification by the Government of the United States of America of the treaty and protocol aforesaid recites in their entirety the understandings contained in the resolution of April 18, 1945 of the Senate of the United States of America advising and consenting to ratification, the text of which resolution was communicated by the Government of the United States of America to the Government of the United Mexican States. The ratification by the Government of the United Mexican States of the treaty and protocol aforesaid is effected, in the terms of its instrument of ratification, in conformity to the Decree of September 27, 1945 of the Senate of the United Mexican States approving the treaty and protocol aforesaid and approving also the aforesaid understandings on the part of the United States of America in all that refers to the rights and obligations between both parties, and in which the Mexican Senate refrains from considering, because it is not competent to pass judgment upon them, the provisions which relate exclusively to the internal application of the treaty within the United States of America and by its own authorities, and which are included in the understandings set forth under the letter (a) 59 Stat. 1267in its first part to the period preceding the words ‘It is understood’ and under the letters (b) and (c).”

Now, therefore, be it known that I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and make public the said treaty and the said protocol supplementary thereto, to the end that the same and every article and clause thereof may be observed and fulfilled with good faith, on and from the eighth day of November, one thousand nine hundred forty-five, by the United States of America and by the citizens of the United States of America and all other persons subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

In testimony 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 twenty-seventh day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred [seal] forty-five and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred seventieth.

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to Your Excellency’s courteous Note of July 15, 1944 (No. 9175) in which Your Excellency was so good as to indicate the desire of the Government of Guatemala to enter into a cooperative educational program to be undertaken jointly between the Government of Guatemala and an Agency of the Government of the United States in the Republic of Guatemala.

The Government of the United States of America is prepared to assist the Government of Guatemala with such a program by contributing the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) with the understanding that the Republic of Guatemala will contribute Fifty Thousand Quetzales (Q50,000) for the same program. The assistance of the Government of the United States of America will be rendered through its agency, the Inter-American Educational Foundation, Incorporated, a corporation of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, to which it is hoped Your Excellency’s Government would extend all the rights and privileges in Guatemala to which the Foundation would be entitled as an agency of the United States Government or which would facilitate its part in the cooperative educational program.

It is my understanding that the Government of Guatemala would be disposed to include among those rights and privileges the entry, free of customs duties and other taxes and charges, of the official supplies and equipment for the Inter-American Educational Foundation, Incorporated, as well as the personal effects and supplies of the employees of the Foundation who are citizens of the United States receiving compensation from any Government; and that the Foundation would be accorded every feasible facility of free communication and transportation within the limits of Guatemala and that it and its employees would be free of internal taxation.

1271 59 Stat. 1272

It is also my understanding that the full details of the program will be worked out in an agreement between the appropriate officer of the Government of Guatemala and representative of the Inter-American Educational Foundations, Incorporated.

I should appreciate receiving from Your Excellency confirmation that my understanding is satisfactory to the Government of Guatemala.

Please accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration.

Señor Embajador:

El compromiso inicial entre el trabajador y su primer patrón será por un término no menor de noventa días y al trabajador se le dará la oportunidad durante tal período de empleo, de trabajar no menos de cuatrocientos ochenta horas, pero las horas trabajadas los domingos en exceso de diez horas durante cualquier período de veinticuatro horas no serán incluidas en esta garantía de cuatrocientas ochenta horas. Al terminar este compromiso initial, el período de empleo podrá ser renovado por convenio mutuo entre el trabajador y el patrón, sujeto a la aprobación del Director de la Oficina de Recursos Humanos de Guerra o su representante autorizado: en el entendimiento de que tal renovación o extensión será hecha sobre términos no menos favorables al trabajador que los que exige este convenio con respecto al período initial de empleo. (2) Cuando el compromiso inicial del trabajador no sea renovado o extendido y cuando a la terminación de tal compromiso inicial, no hubiere trabajo disponible con un nuevo patrón sobre términos no menos favorables al trabajador que los exigidos por este convenio para el compromiso inicial, entonces el trabajador deberá ser devuelto a Costa Rica por el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos. 11.– Todo contrato de empleo del que sea parte el trabajador admitido bajo este convenio, deberá contener una estipulación para la deducción de sus jornales de la suma de cincuenta céntimos de dólar diarios por cada día que el trabajador reciba en jornales una suma no menor de tres dólares. Las sumas así deducidas deberán ser remitidas al Banco Nacional de Costa Rica para ser acreditadas al trabajador a su regreso a Costa Rica. Las sumas así deducidas deberán ser remitidas en las fechas y en la forma que se llegue a convenir entre el Gobierno 59 Stat. 1281de Costa Rica y el Director de la Comisión de Recursos Humanos de Guerra. 12.– Los trabajadores tendrán derecho a discutir cualesquiera problemas de condiciones de vida o trabajo con sus patrones de acuerdo con los trámites que serán establecidos por el patrón. Esto no impedirá que el trabajador recurra a cualquier procedimiento de apelación que pueda ser establecido por la Comisión de Recursos Humanos de Guerra. 13.– Al expirar el contrato o alguna de sus renovaciones, las autoridades de los Estados Unidos considerarán la estada del trabajador en territorio de los Estados Unidos como ilegal desde un punto de vista de inmigración, con la excepción de casos de imposibilidad física del trabajador para su regreso a Costa Rica y en tal caso solamente mientras exista tal imposibilidad. 14.– El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, actuando por medio del Director de la Comisión de Recursos Humanos de Guerra (War Manpower Commission) o su representante autorizado, aplicará sus mejores esfuerzos para el regreso de los trabajadores a Costa Rica prontamente al expirar los contratos o cualquiera renovación de los mismos. En el caso que las exigencias de la guerra causaren atrasos en el regreso de los trabajadores, el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, actuando por medio del Director de la Comisión de Recursos Humanos de Guerra (War Manpower Commission) o su representante autorizado, hará uso de sus mejores esfuerzos para continuar empleando al trabajador, según lo contemplado en la Sección III, B, 2, durante el término que pueda ser necesario hasta la disponibilidad de medios de transporte, pero en ningún caso se extenderá por más de seis meses después de la terminación de la guerra actual.

En fe lo cual firmamos el presente convenio en dos tantos, uno en inglés para el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América y otro en español para el Gobierno de Costa Rica, en la ciudad de San José de Costa Rica a los veinte días del mes de mayo de mil novecientos cuarenta y cuatro.

May 18, 1942

[E. A. S. 452]
The Secretary of State to the Panamanian Ambassador

Department of State Washington

May 18, 1942

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to the memorandum which the Ambassador of Panama left with the President of the United States on February 18, 1941[1]1 [Not printed.] and to the Department’s memoranda of July 8, July 18, and December 2, 1941[1]1 [Not printed.] in reply thereto, regarding twelve points in the relations between Panama and the United States with respect to which positive action by this Government was requested.

Subsequent negotiations have happily led to agreement between our two Governments on all these points, I understand, in the form set forth below:

1. The Waterworks at Colón and Panamá.

When the authority of the Congress of the United States shall have been obtained therefor, the Government of the United States will transfer to the Government of the Republic of Panama free of cost all of its rights, title and interest in the system of sewers and waterworks in the cities of Panamá and Colón.

At that time the United States will renounce the right which it obtained in the first paragraph of Article VII of the Convention between the United States and the Republic of Panama signed at Washington, November 18, 1903, as modified by Article VI of the

33 Stat. 2236.

Treaty between the United States and Panama signed at Washington March 2, 1936, to acquire lands, buildings, water rights or other

53 Stat. 1817.

 properties necessary for purposes of sanitation such as the collection or disposal of sewage and the distribution of water in the cities of Panamá and Colón. The United States, likewise, will renounce the authority contained in Article VII of the above-mentioned convention of 1903 to impose and collect water rates and sewerage rates in those cities which shall be sufficient to provide for the payment of interest and amortization of the principal of the cost of said works. It is understood that there will be no refund to Panama of amortization and interest payments or charges of any kind based on the Convention of 1903 and on the contracts of September 30, 1910.

If the Panamanian Government so desires, the cities of Panamá and Colón may continue to receive supplies of water from the Canal Zone 59 Stat. 1290at the outlets now provided at the Canal Zone boundary at a reasonable rate to be agreed upon by both Governments.

Likewise, if the Panamanian Government so desires, the cities of Panamá and Colón may continue to use, to the extent prevailing at present and with the facilities now available, the sewage disposal services of the Canal Zone. The water rate to be agreed upon will include the cost of these services.

If at any time the Government of the Republic of Panama should desire to renounce the use in part of the water supply and sewerage facilities of the Canal Zone referred to above, the two Governments would agree upon the charges payable by the Republic of Panama for the use of such facilities as it may desire to retain.

It is understood that employees of the Panama Canal and the Panama Railroad Company residing in the Republic of Panama shall not be charged higher water rates than those charged other residents of Panamá and Colón, respectively, for similar services.

It should be pointed out that the turning over to the Government of the Republic of Panama of the physical properties of the water works and sewerage systems and the administration thereof, including the collection of the water rates does not in any way modify the existing arrangement for the responsibility of the public health services of the cities of Panamá and Colón as specified in the second paragraph of Article VII of the Convention between the United States of America

33 Stat. 2236.

and Panama, signed at Washington, November 18, 1903. Thus, the Republic of Panama will continue to pay only those costs of sanitary measures for which it has been responsible in the past.

This Government in continuing to maintain the health services in the cities of Panamá and Colón is confident that the Government of the Republic of Panama will fully cooperate with the appropriate Canal Zone officials in carrying out the agreement regarding increased participation of Panamanian personnel in sanitation activities in those cities as set forth in the exchange of notes accompanying the

53 Stat. 1807.

General Treaty of March 2, 1936, which in turn refer to the earlier proposal of October 1931.

 2. Railroad Lots in Panama and Colon.

The President will seek the authority of the Congress of the United States to transfer to the Republic of Panama free of cost all of its rights, title and interest to the lands belonging to or of which the Panama Railroad Company now has usufruct in the cities of Panamá and Colón which are not currently or prospectively needed for the maintenance, operation, sanitation and protection of the Panama Canal, or of its auxiliary works, or for the operation of the Panama railroad. The Panama Railroad Company will convey to the Republic of Panama those lands which it possesses within that portion of Manzanillo Island lying within the area bounded by a line described as follows: (See copy of map M 5036–3 transmitted with the Department’s memorandum of July 8, 1941.)

59 Stat. 1291

Beginning at the point where the Canal Zone-City of Colon boundary line intersects the western shore line of the arm of Manzanillo Bay known as “Boca Chica” or “Folks River”; thence following the Canal Zone-City of Colon boundary line northerly to Eleventh Street and westerly on Eleventh Street to the Center of Front Avenue; thence northerly along the center of Front Avenue and its prolongation to the center of Second Street; thence easterly along the center of Second Street to the center of Bolivar Avenue; thence northerly along the center of Bolivar Avenue for a distance of 222 feet, more or less; thence easterly, approximately parallel to Second Street and generally following an existing sidewalk to the center of Paseo del Centenario (Central Avenue); thence southerly along the center of Paseo del Centenario (Central Avenue) for a distance of 71 feet, more or less, to a point opposite the prolongation of a cyclone fence which constitutes the southern boundary of the Cristobal School playground; thence easterly, northerly, and northeasterly, to, and along the above-mentioned fence and its prolongation to the center of Coconut Alley; thence southerly along the center of Coconut Alley to the center of Second Street; thence easterly along the center of Second Street to the center of Melendez Avenue (“G” Street); thence southerly along the center of Melendez Avenue (“G” Street) to the center of Seventh Street; thence easterly along the center of Seventh Street to the center of Avenida de Roosevelt; thence southerly along the center of Avenida de Roosevelt to the center of Ninth Street; thence easterly along the center of Ninth Street and its prolongation to the Canal Zone-City of Colon boundary at the mean low water line on the westerly shore of Manzanillo Bay; thence following along the above-mentioned boundary in a southerly and westerly direction to a point where said boundary intersects the prolongation of the face of the curb on the westerly side of Melendez Avenue (“G” Street); thence northerly along said prolongation and the face of the curb on the westerly side of Melendez Avenue (“G” Street) to its intersection with face of curb on the southerly side of Sixteenth Street prolonged; thence westerly and southerly along face of curb on southerly side of Sixteenth Street prolonged to its intersection with the center line of Domingo Diaz Avenue prolonged; thence southerly along the prolonged center line of Domingo Diaz Avenue to its intersection with the Canal Zone-City of Colón boundary at the mean low water line on the northerly shore of Folks River; thence westerly and southerly along said boundary to the point of beginning, excepting, however, lot No. 22, block No. 26 as shown on Panama Canal drawing S–6104–78, sheet 65, and lot No. 1189 as shown on Panama Canal drawing S–6104–78, sheet 16, which lie within the above-described area.

The Panama Railroad Company will retain in the city of Panamá as an area necessary for its operations those lands now occupied by 59 Stat. 1292passenger and freight terminals with appurtenant tracks and yards. The remaining areas now in possession of the Panama Railroad Company in the city of Panama will be conveyed to the Republic of Panama. (See copy of map transmitted with the Department’s memorandum of July 8, 1941.)

 3. The commissaries and post exchanges. The Government of the United States and the Government of the Republic of Panama, in accordance with the exchange of notes accompanying the Treaty between them signed at Washington on

53 Stat. 1807.

March 2, 1936, “will continue to cooperate in all proper ways … to prevent smuggling into territory under the jurisdiction of the Republic of goods imported into the Canal Zone” and for that purpose it is agreed that the Governor of the Panama Canal will appoint a representative to meet with a representative appointed by the Government of the Republic in order that regular and continuing opportunity may be afforded for mutual conference and helpful exchange of views bearing on this question. 4. The construction of a tunnel or bridge to allow transit under or over the Canal at Balboa. The Government of the United States is well aware of the importance to the Government and the people of Panama of constant and rapid communication across the Panama Canal at Balboa and is willing to agree to the construction of a tunnel under or a bridge over the Canal at that point, when the present emergency has ended. Pending the carrying out of this project, the Government of the United States will give urgent attention, consistent with the exigencies of the present emergency, to improving the present ferry service. 5. Jurisdiction over roads and highways in Panamanian Territory.

The United States shall complete the construction at its own expense of the highways described below, under the conditions and with the materials specified:

Highway A–3. (Shall extend from Piña on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus to the Canal Zone boundary at the Rio Providencia. It shall be at least ten feet in width and constructed of macadam.)

Extension of the Trans-Isthmian Highway following the line of the P–8 road. (Specifications shall be the same as for the Trans-Isthmian Highway. The extension shall start at Madrinal, by-passing Madden Dam by a bridge over the Chagres River below the Dam to connect with the P–8 road at Roque and shall extend the P–8 road from Pueblo Nuevo into Panama City. It is understood that the pavement of the bridge over the Chagres River will be located above the elevation established as the Canal Zone boundary.)

Upon the completion of these highways, the Government of the United States will assume the responsibility for any necessary post construction operations, that is, the performance of work necessary to perfect the original construction until such time as the roads become stabilized.

The Government of Panama guarantees that all roads under its jurisdiction used periodically or frequently by the armed forces of 59 Stat. 1293the United States will be well and properly maintained at all times. The Government of Panama will ask for the cooperation of the Government of the United States in the performance of repair and maintenance work on the said roads whenever it deems necessary such cooperation in order to fulfill the aforesaid guarantee such as, for example, in the case of emergencies or situations which require prompt action.

The Government of the United States will bear one-third of the total annual maintenance cost of all Panamanian roads used periodically or frequently by the armed forces of the United States, such cost to cover the expense of any wear or damage to roads caused by movements related to defense activities. The amount payable by the United States will be based upon accounts presented annually by the Republic of Panama giving in detail the total annual expenditures made by it on each highway used periodically or frequently by the armed forces of the United States and upon accounts similarly presented by the Government of the United States giving in similar detail theexpenditures made by that Government in response to requests from the Government of Panama as set forth above. In the event that the Government of the United States has rendered cooperation in the maintenance of the said roads, the expenses incurred by that Government in so doing will be credited toward the share of the United States in the total maintenance of the roads under the jurisdiction of Panama.

In consideration of the above obligations and responsibilities of the United States, the Government of the Republic of Panama grants the right of transit for the routine movement of the members of the armed forces of the United States, the civilian members of such forces and their families, as well as animals, animal-drawn and motor vehicles employed by the armed forces or by contractors employed by them for construction work or others whose activities are in any way related to the defense program, on roads constructed by the United States in territory under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Panama and on the other national highways which place the Canal Zone in communication with the defense areas and of the latter with each other. It should be understood that the United States will take at all times the precautions necessary to avoid, if possible, interruptions of transit in the Republic of Panama.

All roads constructed by the United States in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Panama shall be under the jurisdiction of Panama. As to those secondary roads constructed by the United States for the purpose of giving access to any defense site, Panama grants to the military authorities of the United States the right to restrict or prohibit public travel on such roads within a reasonable distance from such sites if such restriction or prohibition is necessary to the military protection of such sites. It is understood that such restriction or prohibition is without prejudice to the free access of the inhabitants established within the restricted areas to their respective properties. It is also understood that such restriction 59 Stat. 1294or prohibition is not to be exercised on any part of any main highway.

 6. Labor for the Canal Zone. The Government of the United States is aware of the immigration policies of the Republic of Panama as stated in Article XXIII of the Constitution of that Republic, promulgated on January 2, 1941 and, although jurisdiction over immigration into the Canal Zone rests solely with the Government of the United States, that Government will cooperate to the extent feasible under present circumstances in meeting the expressed policy of Panama in this matter. Specifically, the Government of the United States will endeavor so far as practical to fill the needs for labor in the Canal Zone with classes of persons whose immigration is permitted by the Republic of Panama and will forbid the entry into the territory of the Republic, except as may be necessary on brief routine official business, of those persons whom Canal Zone authorities have found or may find it necessary to introduce into the Canal Zone but whose immigration into the Republic is prohibited by the Republic of Panama. Such persons will be repatriated when their services are no longer required. 7. Desire of the Panamanian Government that our military and Zone police be armed only with billies while in the territory of Panama. The Government of the United States agrees that only the commissioned officers of the military police and the commissioned officers of the shore patrols of the United States when on duty in the cities of Panamá and Colón may carry side arms. It agrees that members of the Canal Zone municipal police may not carry side arms of any sort while in the Republic of Panama, and similarly, the Government of the Republic of Panama will agree that members of the police of the Republic of Panama shall not carry side arms while in the Canal Zone, except when the latter pass through the Zone in transit to other territory of the Republic. 8. Provision of electrical current from the Alhajuela Damn for use in the Republic. The Government of the United States agrees that electrical energy, whenever an excess beyond the needs of the United States is available in commercial quantities at the generating station of the Panama Canal at Madden Dam, will be furnished upon request of the Panamanian Government, to the cities of Panamá and Colón at a price and at points to be agreed upon between the two Governments. 9. The assumption by the United States of the entire cost of the Rio Hato Highway. The Government of the United States will, after the necessary funds have been obtained by appropriation from the Congress, liquidate the credit of $2,500,000 made available to the Republic of Panama by the Export-Import Bank for the construction of Panama’s share of the Chorrera-Rio Hato road. 10. The moving of the railroad station at Panamá. The Government of the United States agrees to comply with the wishes of the Republic of Panama regarding the removal from their present site of the terminal facilities of the Panama Railroad in 59 Stat. 1295Panama including the station, yards and other appurtenances. This agreement, however, is subject to the making available without cost to the Government of the United States by the Republic of Panama of a new site deemed suitable for the purpose by the two Governments. 11. Desire of the Panamanian Government for an indemnity in case traffic is interrupted on account of our troop movements. The Government of the United States is not prepared at this time to enter into any formal agreement regarding indemnities for the interruption of traffic on the highways of the Republic of Panama. If, however, serious interruptions of traffic should occur, the Government of the United States will be pleased to examine in a friendly spirit any claims advanced by the Government of the Republic of Panama. 12. The desire of the Panamanian Government for three gasoline or oil tanks at Balboa.

The Government of the United States will make available to the Republic of Panama a right-of-way beginning in the port of Balboa and ending at the Canal Zone-City of Panama boundary at a point to be agreed upon by the two Governments for the construction of a petroleum pipeline. It will also agree that the facilities of the Panama Canal for discharging bulk petroleum products from ships berthed at Balboa and for the direction of such products into the pipeline above-mentioned would be made available in regular turn to the Republic of Panama at a reasonable cost. It should be understood that the Republic of Panama would bear the cost of the construction of the pipeline as well as pay for any damage which might accrue to the property of the United States as the result of the construction or maintenance thereof. The cost of pumping such petroleum products from Balboa to the Canal Zone-City of Panama boundary would be borne by the Republic of Panama which would install and maintain the necessary pumping facilities for the purpose.

I should appreciate it if Your Excellency would confirm my understanding of the agreement reached as set forth above.

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

Señor Secretario:

Con suma y honrosa complacencia acuso a Vuestra Excelencia recibo de su Nota fechada hoy, 18 de Mayo de 1942, en relación con el Memorandum que el entonces Embajador de Panamá ante el ilustre Gobierno 59 Stat. 1296de Vuestra Excelencia depositó en manos del Excelentísimo Señor Presidente de los Estados Unidos el 18 de Febrero de 1941 y con la memoranda del Departamento de Estado del 8 de Julio, 18 de Julio y 2 de Diciembre de 1941, que se refieren a los doce puntos cubriendo ciertas aspiraciones panameñas respecto a las cuales acción positiva fué solicitada al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos.

Me honra en sumo grado llevar al conocimiento de Vuestra Excelencia que después de subsecuentes negociaciones se ha llegado felizmente a un mutuo acuerdo entre nuestros dos Gobiernos, respecto a los doce puntos, tai como han quedado establecidos en la Nota de Vuestra Excelencia que viene a constituírse en importantísimo documento para nosotros y para las generaciones futuras, pues puntualiza la aceptación por parte del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de las equitativas y justas aspiraciones del Gobierno de mi patria y al mismo tiempo demuestra palpablemente que el Gobierno de Panamá está dispuesto en todo memento a prestar una completa y amplia cooperación con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos en la defensa de la ruta interoceánica que ha dividido en dos el Istmo panameño.

Este documento constituye un elocuente y noble ejemplo al mundo de que nuestros dos Gobiernos marchan por el sendero de la vida democrática en estrecha e íntima hermandad satisfaciendo así los deseos de una verdadera unión Panamericana expresada por la colosal figura de Simón Bolívar hace más de cien años y reiterada, en esta época, tan elocuente y brillantemente por la eminente personalidad de Franklin Delano Roosevelt por medio de su doctrina del Buen Vecino.

Acepte, Vuestra Excelencia, una vez más, los sinceros testimonies de mi más alta consideración y estima,

E. Jaén Guardia Embajador

Su Excelencia

Mr. Secretary:

With the greatest and most honored pleasure I acknowledge receipt

Ante, p. 1289.

of Your Excellency’s note dated today, May 18, 1942, with reference to the memorandum which the then Ambassador of Panama near Your Excellency’s enlightened Government left with His Excellency the President of the United States on February 18, 1941 and to the memorandums of the Department of State dated July 8, July 18 and December 2, 1941, which concern the twelve points covering certain Panamanian aspirations regarding which positive action was requested of the Government of the United States.

59 Stat. 1297

It gives me the greatest honor to inform Your Excellency that after subsequent negotiations a mutual agreement has happily been reached between our two Governments respecting the twelve points as they were set forth in Your Excellency’s note which becomes a most important document for us and for future generations since it embodies the acceptance by the Government of the United States of the equitable and just aspirations of the Government of my country and, at the same time, makes it obvious that the Government of Panama is prepared at any time to give complete and full cooperation to the Government1 of the United States in the defense of the inter-ocean route which has divided the Panamanian isthmus in two.

This document constitutes an eloquent and noble example to the world that our Governments walk by the path of the democratic life in close and intimate brotherhood, thus satisfying the desires of a real Pan American union expressed by the colossal figure of Simón Bolívar more than one hundred years ago and so eloquently and brilliantly renewed in this era by the eminent personality of Franklin Delano Roosevelt through his Good Neighbor policy.

Accept, Excellency, once more, the sincere testimonies of my highest consideration and esteem.

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to President Lescot’s memorandum dated April 6, 1942,[1]1 [Not printed.] left by him with the Acting Secretary of State in

58 Stat. 1439.

Washington, and to Mr. Welles’ reply of April 7, relative to the initiation of a cooperative program of health and sanitation in Haiti. Your Excellency will recall that the United States Government, in contributing $350,000 toward this program and subsequently making available an additional $150,000, to be used for the anti-yaws aspect of it, was acting in accordance with Resolution XXX regarding health and sanitary conditions, adopted by the Third Meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics at Rio in 1942.

I now have the honor to state that my Government is prepared, if Your Excellency’s Government so desires, to make available, through the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, an additional sum of $300,000 for the purpose of cooperating with the Government of Haiti in extending the aforementioned program of health and sanitation on the understanding that the Government of Haiti for its part will contribute the sum of $150,000. This extension would terminate on October 1, 1947 in so far as the funds contributed by the United States are concerned.

The type of work and specific projects to be undertaken and the cost thereof and the methods and procedures to be employed in conducting the extended program are to be mutually agreed to by the appropriate official of the Government of Haiti and an appropriate official of The Institute of Inter-American Affairs.

The Government of the United States will continue to furnish such experts as are considered necessary in order to collaborate with Your Excellency’s Government in extending the health and sanitation program.

All projects and property acquired in connection with the program shall be the property of the Government of Haiti.

59 Stat. 1299

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

I shall be glad if Your Excellency will 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 a subject of further discussion and agreement as provided for herein.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurance of my high consideration.

Mr. Ambassador:

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of note no. 32, of June 29 last, in which Your Excellency informs me that with a view to continuing its cooperation with the Haitian Government in the public health program undertaken in Haiti since 1942, the Government of the United States of America is prepared to make available to the Republic of Haiti an additional sum of $300,000 through the Institute of Inter-American Affairs.

The Haitian Government is happy to accept the generous offer of that of the United States and undertakes to make, on its part, a contribution of $150,000 for the extension of the said public health program. It will not fail, moreover, to see to the execution of all the conditions prescribed.

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to my note dated February 21, 1942 [11[Not printed.]] and to your note dated April 13, 1942 [11[Not printed.]] in reply with regard to changes under consideration by my Government concerning vessels taken as prizes by United States Naval forces in foreign waters far from a United States port.

The changes in prize court procedure proposed by my Government are contained in 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, which was approved on August 18, 1942. [22[See also proclamation of April 1, 1943 (57 Stat. 736).]] A copy of the Act is enclosed.

56 Stat. 746.

Section 3 of the Act provides that the authority contained in the Act shall not be exercised over prizes brought into the territorial waters of a cobelligerent, and that prizes shall not 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.

Section 5 of the Act provides for the exercise abroad by special prize commissioners of the duties prescribed for such commissioners and such additional duties as the district courts of the United States may deem 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 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 59 Stat. 1302 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.”

I have been instructed by my Government to request the Government of New Zealand, in view of the above provisions of law, to give its consent to the exercise within its jurisdiction of the authority contained in the Act. Upon the receipt of such consent, appropriate measures will be taken by my Government in accordance with Section

56 Stat. 747.

7 of the Act to accord reciprocal privileges in prize matters to the Government of New Zealand. I would therefore be grateful to have the reply of the Government of New Zealand in this matter at as early a moment as possible for communication to my Government.

I have the honor to be, Sir

Your obedient servant,

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of November 3rd requesting the consent of the New Zealand Government

to the exercise within its jurisdiction of the authority contained in the cited Public Law 704–77th Congress and offering, upon receipt

I note that the cited Act is described as “an act to facilitate the disposition of prizes captured by the United States during the present war, and for other purposes”. I take it that the arrangement will, therefore, apply for the period of the co-belligerency of the United States of America and of the Dominion of New Zealand, and for such period thereafter as may be necessary to conclude current cases.

I have to advise that consent is given, as requested, to the exercise in the Dominion of New Zealand and its dependencies, including Territorial Waters, of the authority contained in the Act, and to advise that the reciprocal privileges offered would be appreciated.

I have the honor to be, Sir

Your obedient servant,

 The French Ambassador and the French Commissaire en Mission to the Acting Secretary of State

Washington, February 28, 1945.

Sir:

In the United Nations’ declaration of January 1, 1942, the contracting

55 Stat. 1600.

governments pledged themselves to employ their full resources, military or economic, against those nations with which they are at war; and in the Preliminary Agreement of February 28, 1945

Ante, p. 1304.

 between the Government of the United States and the Provisional Government of France on the principles applying to mutual aid, each contracting government undertakes to provide the other with such articles, services, facilities, or information useful in the prosecution of their common war effort as it might be in a position to supply. It is the understanding of the Provisional Government of France that the general principle to be followed in providing mutual aid as set forth 59 Stat. 1314

Ante, p. 1304.

 in the said Agreement of February 28, 1945 is that the war production and the war resources of both Nations should be used by each in ways which most effectively utilize the available materials, manpower, production facilities, shipping space, and other resources.

With a view, therefore, to supplementing the said Agreement of February 28, 1945 and the Memorandum relating to Lend-Lease and Reciprocal Aid and the Minutes attached thereto, agreed and exchanged by the United States and French representatives on August 25, 1944,[11 [Not printed.]] we have the honor to set forth below the understanding of the Provisional Government of France of the principles and procedures applicable to the provision of aid by the Provisional Government of France to the armed forces of the United States and the manner in which such aid will be correlated with the maintenance of those forces by the United States Government.

1.

The Provisional Government of France, retaining the right of final decision, in the light of its own potentialities and responsibilities, will provide the United States or its armed forces with the following types of assistance as reciprocal aid, when and to the extent that it is found that they can most effectively be procured in continental France.

(A) Military equipment, munitions, and military and naval stores; (B) Other supplies, materials, facilities, services, or information for United States forces, except for the pay, allowances, and other emoluments of such forces and the administrative expenses of American Missions; (C) Supplies, materials, facilities, services, or information except for the wages and salaries of United States citizens, needed in the construction of military projects, tasks, and similar capital works required in the common war effort; (D) Settlement and payment of appropriate civil claims arising in French territory against the United States and its armed forces, employees, and officers; (E) Ship ballast, in order to assist in obtaining maximum efficiency in the use of shipping; provided, however, that any net proceeds resulting from the sale of such ballast shall be paid to the Provisional Government of France; (F) Such other supplies, materials, facilities or services as may be agreed upon as necessary in the prosecution of the war, including materials for war production, requested by the United States to be exported from continental France to the United States of America. 2. The practical application of the principles formulated in this note, including the procedure by which requests for aid by either Government are made and acted upon, shall be worked out as occasion may require by agreement between the two Governments, acting when possible through their appropriate military or civilian administrative authorities. Requests by the United States Government for such aid will be presented by duly authorized authorities of the United States 59 Stat. 1315 to official agencies of the Provisional Government of France which will be designated or established at convenient locations for the purpose of facilitating the provision of reciprocal aid. 3.

It is the understanding of the Provisional Government of France that all such aid, as well as other aid, including information, received under Article VI of the Preliminary Agreement of February 28, 1945,

Ante, p. 1306.

55 Stat. 31.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 411–419.

Ante, p. 52.

accepted by the President of the United States or his authorized representatives from the Provisional Government of France will be received as a benefit to the United States under the Act of March 11, 1941. Insofar as circumstances will permit, appropriate record of aid received under this arrangement will be kept by each Government.

In order to facilitate the procurement of the supplies, materials, facilities, information and services described in Section 1 hereof by

Ante, p. 1314.

permitting their direct purchase rather than their procurement by the methods contemplated in Section 2 hereof during the period of

Ante, p. 1314.

 military operation and until such time as the official agencies of the Provisional Government of France are able to provide such reciprocal aid in the manner contemplated in Section 2, the Provisional Government of France agrees to make available to designated officers of the United States Government such French currency or credits as may be needed for the purpose. The necessary arrangements will be made by the appropriate authorities of the Government of the United States and the Provisional Government of France.

If the Government of the United States concurs in the foregoing, we would suggest that the present note and your reply to that effect be regarded as placing on record the understanding of our two Governments in this matter and that for clarity and convenience of administration this understanding be considered to be effective as from June 6, 1944.

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

 MEMORANDUM

The Government of the United States directs the attention of the Provisional Government of the French Republic to the proposed

55 Stat. 32.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, § 412.

Ante, p. 52.

Ante, p. 1308.

agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act and in particular to Article V thereof. Under Article V this Government will review, from time to time, and particularly at the conclusion of hostilities in Europe, as determined by the President, articles and services set

Ante, pp. 1309, 1312.

 forth in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Agreement in order to determine whether the delivery of such articles or services should be withheld in the national interest of the United States. The reservation made by this Government in Article V to withhold delivery of articles and services “whenever the President determines that such action is in the national interest” constitutes a broad power to cancel or revoke procurement programs or contracts. It is not possible to predict with precision what occasions or circumstances may arise in the future which may require this Government to withhold delivery. Actual delivery will always be subject to the development of the military situation, and the changing demands of strategy, as well as to economic and financial factors which affect the national interest of this Government.

The Government of the United States expects that all articles and services transferred to the Provisional Government of the French Republic, pursuant to the Crowley-Monnet exchange of notes of September 4, 5 and 19, 1944,[11 [Not printed.]] prior to the signing of this Agreement will be paid for in dollars, and any articles and services requisitioned in accordance with the provisions of these notes but transferred following the signing of this Agreement will be regarded, if appropriate, as deliveries under the relevant schedules of the Agreement.

It is further understood that as long as supplies are furnished under the so-called Plan “A”, the Provisional Government of the 59 Stat. 1317 French Republic will be obligated to pay for them currently in dollars.

It is, of course, understood that in the implementation of the provisions of the lend-lease agreements submitted to the Provisional Government of the French Republic, the Government of the United States will act in accordance with its Constitutional procedures.

My dear Mr. Secretary,

I have just returned from France. As the American Ambassador in Paris has been advised by our Minister of Foreign Affairs, my Government is now prepared to sign the draft agreements sent to me by Mr. Clayton on February 8th, 1945.

In its concurrence, my Government has taken full cognizance of your Memorandum accompanying the draft agreements.

Before my departure for Paris I agreed with Mr. Clayton the text of a Statement, attached hereto, which clarifies certain points and draws the attention of your Government to certain policies which we shall follow in the execution of the various agreements.

Yours sincerely,

Jean Monnet.

The Honorable

Joseph C. Grew,

Acting Secretary of State,

 STATEMENT

28 February 1945.

I. We understand that the Master Agreement covers munitions now being or to be supplied hereafter on a straight Lend-Lease basis. 2. Article 5. We understand that in general it is not the intention of the United States Government to exercise its right to recapture any articles for which the French Government pays; if the recapture clause should be exercised in respect to any such articles, appropriate arrangements will be made for repayment to the French Government. 3. Articles 6 and 7. We understand that “benefits provided to the United States by the Provisional Government of France” includes 59 Stat. 1318 benefits provided by the Comite National, the Haut Commandement en Chef, and the C.F.L.N. and that in the conversations referred to in Article VII full cognizance will be taken of all such benefits as well as of all aid extended under the various operating agreements and the Master Agreement. B. 3(c) Agreement I.

“Continental France.”

 Article I. We understand that the phrase “Continental France” includes Corsica. 2.

“Net losses.”

 Article 2. We understand that the phrase “net losses” refers to out-of-pocket expenses, such as contract cancellation, transportation and storage expenses, incurred with respect to articles covered by a requisition or other formal request filed by the French Government. C. Reciprocal Aid Agreement The franc account provision appears unnecessarily broad. We understand that you are prepared to substitute for it a provision which will be consistent with mutually agreeable working arrangements now in effect in France. II. The purchase price clauses set forth in Section B of Schedule I of the 3 (c) agreement are complex. There is some doubt in our minds that their precise operative effect can be accurately predicted now. On the other hand, we recognize that they have been drafted with the purpose of establishing a pricing method that will be fair to both parties. Accordingly we ask for no revision at the present time. If the pricing operations under these formulae appear unsatisfactory in practice, we will feel free to propose an alternative method. The adoption of such an alternative by mutal agreement would not, of course, be retroactive, unless the propriety of such retroactive action were also mutually agreed. III.

Statement of policy.

 I wish also to direct your attention to certain policies we shall follow in the execution of these various arrangements. I. In relation to reciprocal aid, it is our intention to put forth our maximum effort. The extent of reciprocal aid which it will be possible to render will, however, necessarily depend in large measure on such factors as the availability of labor, power, and the flow of imported supplies. 2. In relation to the 3(c) agreement, it is our general intention to request and receive the articles and services in Schedules I and 2 up to the full amount of the financial limits provided for therein. However, we note our reserved right to have the programs or contracts cancelled upon paying the United States its out-of-pocket expenses; and it is our intention to review the articles and services 59 Stat. 1319 in the schedules from time to time and particularly at the conclusion of hostilities in Europe in order to make such adjustments in our requests and acceptances as we deem necessary in the light of the changing situation. Jean Monnet.

(See Annex to Article 3).

Post, p. 1336.

The Government and High Command of Hungary undertake to hand over as booty into the hands of the Allied (Soviet) High Command all German war material located on Hungarian territory, including vessels of the fleet of Germany. 8.

The Assistant Secretary of State to the Irish Minister

Department of State Washington

February 3, 1945

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to discussions which began at the recent International Civil Aviation Conference in Chicago, and which have since been continued, on the subject of a reciprocal air transport agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Ireland.

It is my understanding that these discussions and negotiations, now terminated, have resulted in the following agreement:

agreement between the united states of america and ireland relating to air transport services Having in mind the resolution recommending a standard form of agreement for provisional air routes and services, included in the Final Act of the International Civil Aviation Conference signed at Chicago on December 7, 1944, and the desirability of mutually stimulating and promoting the sound economic development of air transportation between the United States and Ireland, the two Governments parties to this arrangement agree that the further development of air transport services between their respective territories shall be governed by the following provisions:
Article 1

Post, p. 1405.

 The contracting parties grant the rights specified in the Annex hereto necessary for establishing the international civil air routes and services therein described, whether such services be inaugurated immediately or at a later date at the option of the contracting party to whom the rights are granted.
Article 2 (a)

Inauguration of air services.

 Each of the air services so described shall be placed in operation as soon as the contracting party to whom the rights have been granted by Article 1 to designate an airline or airlines for the route concerned has authorized an airline for such route, and the contracting party granting the rights shall, subject to Article 6 hereof, be bound to give the appropriate operating permission to the airline or airlines concerned; provided that the 59 Stat. 1403 airline so designated may be required to qualify before the competent aeronautical authorities of the contracting party granting the rights under the laws and regulations normally applied by these authorities before being permitted to engage in the operations contemplated by this agreement; and provided that in areas of hostilities or of military occupation, or in areas affected thereby, such inauguration shall be subject to the approval of the competent military authorities. (b) It is understood that either contracting party granted commercial rights under this agreement should exercise them at the earliest practicable date except in the case of temporary inability to do so.
Article 3 In order to prevent discriminatory practices and to assure

Prevention of discrimination, etc.

 equality of treatment, both contracting parties agree that: (a) Each of the contracting parties may impose or permit to be imposed just and reasonable charges for the use of public airports and other facilities under its control. Each of the contracting parties agrees, however, that these charges shall not be higher than would be paid for the use of such airports and facilities by its national aircraft engaged in similar international services. (b) Fuel, lubricating oils and spare parts introduced into the territory of one contracting party by the other contracting party or its nationals, and intended solely for use by aircraft of such other contracting party shall be accorded national and most-favored-nation treatment with respect to the imposition of customs duties, inspection fees or other national duties or charges by the contracting party whose territory is entered. (c) The fuel, lubricating oils, spare parts, regular equipment and aircraft stores retained on board civil aircraft of the airlines of one contracting party authorized to operate the routes and services described in the Annex shall, upon arriving in or leaving

Post, p. 1405.

 the territory of the other contracting party, be exempt from customs, inspection fees or similar duties or charges, even though such supplies be used or consumed by such aircraft on flights in that territory.
Article 4 Certificates of airworthiness, certificates of competency and

Certificates of airworthiness, etc.

 licenses issued or rendered valid by one contracting party shall be recognized as valid by the other contracting party for the purpose of operating the routes and services described in the Annex.

Post, p. 1405.

 Each contracting party reserves the right, however, to refuse to recognize, for the purpose of flight above its own territory, certificates of competency and licenses granted to its own nationals by another State.
59 Stat. 1404
Article 5 (a)

Laws and regulations.

 The laws and regulations of one contracting party relating to the admission to or departure from its territory of aircraft engaged in international air navigation, or to the operation and navigation of such aircraft while within its territory, shall be applied to the aircraft of the other contracting party, and shall be complied with by such aircraft upon entering or departing from or while within the territory of the first party. (b) The laws and regulations of one contracting party as to the admission to or departure from its territory of passengers, crew, or cargo of aircraft, such as regulations relating to entry, clearance, immigration, passports, customs, and quarantine shall be complied with by or on behalf of such passengers, crew or cargo of the other contracting party upon entrance into or departure from, or while within the territory of the first party.
Article 6

Right reserved to withhold or revoke certificate or permit.

 Each contracting party reserves the right to withhold or revoke a certificate or permit to an airline of the other party in any case where it is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control are vested in nationals of either party to this agreement, or in case of failure of an airline to comply with the laws of the State over which it operates as described in Article 5 hereof, or to perform its obligations under this agreement.
Article 7 This agreement and all contracts connected therewith shall be registered with the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization.
Article 8 Operating rights granted previously by either of the contracting parties shall continue in force according to their terms.
Article 9

Termination.

 This agreement or any of the rights for air transport services granted thereunder may, without prejudice to Article 8 above, be terminated by either contracting party upon giving one year’s notice to the other contracting party.
Article 10 Except as may be modified by the present agreement, the air navigation arrangement between the two contracting parties

51 Stat. 319.

 signed September 29, 1937, and November 4, 1937, shall continue in force until superseded by a multilateral aviation convention to which Ireland and the United States become contracting parties.
59 Stat. 1405
Article 11 In the event either of the contracting parties considers it desirable

Provisions for modification.

 to modify the routes or conditions set forth in the attached Annex, it may request consultation between the competent authorities of both contracting parties, such consultation to begin within a period of sixty days from the date of the request. In case the aforementioned authorities mutually agree on new or revised conditions affecting the Annex, their recommendations on the matter will come into effect after they have been confirmed by an exchange of diplomatic notes.
annex to air transport agreement between the united states of america and ireland A.

Airlines of the United States authorized under the present agreement are accorded in the territory of Ireland rights of transit, non-traffic stop, and commercial entry for international traffic at Shannon airport (Foynes and Rineanna), on the following routes:

The United States to Ireland and countries beyond, via intermediate points; in both directions.

It is agreed that in view of the long transoceanic flight necessary on the above routes, and considering the still limited development of aeronautical science, all eastbound aircraft on routes covered in this Annex shall stop at Shannon airport as first European port of call and all westbound aircraft on the same routes shall stop at Shannon airport.

 B. Airlines of Ireland authorized under the present agreement are accorded in the territory of the United States rights of transit, non-traffic stop and commercial entry for international traffic at specific airports in connection with such route or routes as may be determined at a later date. C. Aircraft of either contracting party availing itself of the non-traffic stops granted by this agreement may be required by the other contracting party to offer reasonable commercial services in passengers, cargo and mail, both outward and inward.

You will, of course, understand that this agreement may be affected by subsequent legislation enacted by the Congress of the United States.

I shall be glad to have you inform me whether it is the understanding of your Government that the terms of the agreement resulting from the negotiations are as above set forth. If so, it is suggested that February 15, 1945 become the effective date. If your Government

Effective date.

59 Stat. 1406 concurs in this suggestion the Government of the United States will regard the agreement as becoming effective at such time.

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

No. 213

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to an agreement for cooperative plantation rubber investigations which was effected by the signing of a letter dated January 24, 1941, by the Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, and the Secretary of State for Agriculture and Labor of the Republic of Haiti, the text of which letter reads in full as follows:

“January 24, 1941.

“His Excellency

M. Edouaro Volel,

Secretaire d’Etat de L’Agriculture et du Travail,

Republique d’Haiti,

Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

“Monsieur Secretaire:

“In recognition of the common interest of the Haitian Government and the Government of the United States in the development of rubber production in Latin America and the desirability that Haiti participate in this development, both for the purpose of developing new export crops and for developing new sources of national income, it seems possible to provide for mutually advantageous cooperation.

“Discussions between representatives of the Bureau of Plant Industry and representatives of the Haitian Government have developed a basis of understanding, which is presented in the following paragraphs for your consideration. If the statement of the project and provision for carrying out the work meet with your approval, please endorse this letter in the space provided and return it to me. A photostat copy will then be sent to you for your records.

Object of investigations.

“The object of these cooperative investigations is to develop and propagate high-yielding clones of rubber resistant to the South American leaf disease. Seed, budwood, and other plant materials 59 Stat. 1459 resulting from these cooperative investigations will be shared by the cooperating agencies.

“The work will be conducted at one or more stations in Haiti,

Places of work.

preferably in the Grand’Anse valley, and at various stations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture in Central America and elsewhere.

“The Haitian Government agrees that seeds from rubber trees

Testing stations.

growing in Haiti may be collected and planted at testing gardens selected in Haiti and to send supplies of the same seed lots to stations established by the Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S. Department of Agriculture where the seedlings will be used for tests for resistance to the South American leaf disease and for propagation of high-yielding clones. Budwood from promising seedlings will then be shared, some being sent to Haitian stations for propagation and use in Haiti and some being retained by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

“The Haitian Government agrees to furnish land for a propagation

Propagation nursery.

nursery, preferably in the Grand’Anse valley, to be selected jointly by the Agricultural Adviser to the Haitian Government and representative of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, which will be used for propagation of budwood that the U. S. Department of Agriculture will furnish from time to time.

“To the extent to which it may be possible with the finances

Expenses, etc., of experimental plantings.

available from time to time, the Haitian Government agrees to cooperate in the expenses, labor, implements, and other necessary materials, facilities and resources in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the experimental plantings.

“The Haitian Government agrees to prohibit the redistribution

Prohibition of redistribution.

of any strains of the rubber tree furnished or developed under this agreement to cooperators, companies or other governments except to those agencies and governments in the Western Hemisphere which are willing to reciprocate by furnishing such similar material as they may have in their possession; and that this restriction shall be passed on to any other agency or government receiving material to prevent controverting the purpose of this restriction.

“The Bureau of Plant Industry agrees to test the performance of

Testing of seedlings.

seedlings derived from seeds from Haiti, to furnish the Haitian Government selected and tested budwood from time to time, to give advice and information and to furnish the services of a scientist for planning, conducting and interpreting the results of the work performed under the terms of this agreement.

“The Bureau of Plant Industry also agrees to contribute to the

Cost or labor, etc.

cost of the labor, implements and other necessary material, facilities and services in connection with the establishment and maintenance of nursery or experimental plantings, to the degree that this may be necessary to implement and make effective the contributions of the Haitian Government. It also agrees to make available records of all results obtained in tests and experiments made under the terms of this agreement.

59 Stat. 1460

Publication of results.

“It is mutually agreed that publication of the results of these experiments may be by either party, provided that the cooperative nature of the work is recognized and a copy of the manuscript is furnished the cooperator for review previous to publication. It is understood that the obligations of the Haitian Government and the Bureau of Plant Industry are contingent upon appropriations by the Congresses of the respective countries.

Effective period.

“The Understanding will be effective upon endorsement and will continue in effect for an indefinite period, subject to apprpriations being made by the Congresses of Haiti and the United States. It shall be subject to revision by mutual consent of the parties concerned, and either party is at liberty to withdraw upon due notice. Requests for any major changes or notifications of intention of withdrawing shall be submitted to the other party for consideration not less than 90 days in advance of the effective date desired.

“Very truly yours, E. C. Auchter “Chief of Bureau.

Edouard Volel

“Secretaire d’Etat de L’Agriculture et du Travail.”

As a result of practical considerations which have arisen in connection with the operation of the regional field station for rubber experimentation in accordance with the agreement mentioned above, it has been found by the authorities of the United States Department of Agriculture to be desirable that an agreement supplementary to the agreement of January 24, 1941 be entered into for the purpose of defining more clearly certain procedures affecting the sale of products grown on the lands used by the said station and in order to facilitate the continued development of rubber investigations and demonstration plantings in Haiti.

The supplementary agreement as proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture is in terms as follows:

Article I In the sale of products, surplus to the needs of the cooperative research and recognized as the property of the Government of the Republic of Haiti, which have been grown and are now on, or which are or may be developed or cultivated as a result of rubber investigations and demonstration plantings on, the lands owned by the Government of the Republic of Haiti and provided by the Government of the Republic of Haiti for the establishment and operation by the Department of Agriculture of the United States of America of a rubber experiment station, in accordance with the letter agreement for cooperative rubber investigations in Haiti, between appropriate authorities of the Government of the United States of America

Ante, p. 1468.

 and the Government of the Republic of Haiti, dated January 24, 59 Stat. 1461 1941, the following procedures shall be followed with respect to such sales and with respect to accounting and disbursements: (a) Any such sale shall be made by the Secretary of State for Agriculture and Labor of the Republic of Haiti and the proceeds from any such sale shall be placed in a special account with the understanding that such proceeds shall be used for the improvement and development of the rubber experiment station, the demonstration plantings, and the lands aforesaid. (b) The system of accounting for farm receipts and disbursements will be formulated and approved by the Secretary of State for Agriculture and Labor of the Republic of Haiti and the local representatives in charge of rubber investigations for the Department of Agriculture of the United States of America.
Article II This supplementary agreement shall remain in force as though it were an integral part of the aforesaid letter agreement dated January 24, 1941.

This note, together with a reply from Your Excellency indicating the approval of the Government of the Republic of Haiti, will be considered as constituting an agreement between our two Governments on the subject, it being understood that the letter agreement of January 24, 1941 became effective, in accordance with its own terms, on the date of its endorsement, and that the supplementary agreement as indicated above shall be effective as of the date of Your Excellency’s reply note.

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

Excellency: Confirming the Aide Memoire which I handed to Your Excellency on October 21, 1944, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency as follows:

“1.

Ante, p. 1477.

 Since the Government of the United States cannot foresee its own future needs for material which it has tranaferred to other

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 411–419.

Ante, p. 52.

 Governments under the provisions of the Lend-Lease Act, it would not want to bind itself at this time to relinquishing the right to request the return of such materials as it might find desirable to have returned to the United States for the reasons set forth in

Ante, p. 1477.

 Article V. However, the Government of the United States would, at a mutually convenient time after the signing of the agreement, provide the Turkish Government every opportunity to discuss with the Government of the United States the retention of such materials as the Turkish Government raight desire to purchase. “2. In Article VII, the signatories agree to collaborate with all other countries of like mind for the econoınic objectives deseribed in that article. Since it is recognized, for example, that the reduction of trade barriers is a matter for action by each country in accordance with its own constitutional procedures, provision is made for conversations to determine the best means of attaining the stated objectives of each Government by their own ‘agreed’ action. “3. With respect to the inquiry of the Turkish Government as to whether the signature of the agreement would be availed of by Washington to terminate Lend-Lease aid to Turkey, the response is made that it is not the intention of the Government of the United States to use the signing of the agreement as a basis for terminating Lend-Lease aid to Turkey. The amount of aid in the future will naturally depend on the material available and upon the course of the war.”

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

En confirmation de l’Aide-Mémoire que j’ai remis à Votre Excellence, le 21 octobre 1944, j’ai l’honneur de porter à la connaissanco de Votre Excellence ce qui suit:

Monsieur l’Ambassadeur,

J’ai l’honneur d’accuser réception à Votre Excellence de la Note qu’Elle a eu l’amabilité de me remettre en date du 23 Février 1945 et ainsi conçue:

“En confirmation de l’Aide-Mémoire que j’ai remis à Votre Excellence, le 21 Octobre 1944, j’ai l’honneur de porter à la connaissance de Votre Excellence ce qui suit:

1. Puisque le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis ne peut pas prévoir ses besoins futurs de matériel qu’il a transféré à d’autres Gouvernements selon les termes de la Loi Prêt-et-Bail, il ne désirerait pas s’engager à présent à renoncer au droit de demander le retour de ces matériaux dont le renvoi aux Etats-Unis pourrait être avantageux pour les raisons exposées dans l’Article 5. Cependant, le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis offrirait au Gouvernement Turc, à une date qui conviendrait, après la signature de l’accord, toutes les facilités pour délibérer avec le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis dans le but de garder les matériaux que le Gouvernement Turc désirerait acheter.

2. Par l’Article 7, les signataires s’engagent à collaborer avec tous les autres pays qui sont d’accord pour poursuivre les buts économiques exposés dans cet Article. Puisqu’il est reconnu, par exemple, que la réduction d’obstacles au commerce est une question relative à laquelle chaque pays doit prendre les dispositions qui conviennent, dans le cadre de ses propres procédés constitutionnels, on a pris les mesures nécessaires pour assurer que des conversations aient lieu afin de déterminer les meilleurs moyens d’atteindre les buts énoncés par chaque Gouvernement, en réalisant les desseins sur lesquels ils se sont mis d’accord.

3. En ce qui concerne la question posée par le Gouvernement Turc, à savoir si Washington profiterait de la signature de l’accord pour terminer l’assistance Prêt-et-Bail à la Turquie, la réponse est la suivante: Ce n’est pas l’intention du Gouvernement des Etats-Unis de se servir de la signature de l’accord comme base pour terminer l’assistance Prêt-et-Bail à la Turquie. Le montant de l’assistance à l’avenir dépendra naturellement du matériel disponible et du développement de ta guerre.”

J’ai l’honneur de porter à la connaissance de Votre Excellence que le Gouvernement de la République ayant trouvé dans le contenu dudit Aide-Mémoire le sens de l’acceptation qu’il entend donner à l’accord concernant l’aide fournie sous l’acte du 11 Mars 1941, se déclare prêt à procéder à la signature dudit Accord.

Veuillez, Monsieur l’Ambassadeur, agréer les assurances de ma très haute considération.

of Iraq on the principles applying to aid under the Lend-Lease Act, and to set forth my understanding of the accord reached as to the application of certain provisions of the said agreement, as follows:

1. In general, foodstuffs and other supplies for the civilian population of Iraq shall continue to be furnished through regular commercial channels. However, such foodstuffs and other supplies as may be provided for the civilian population of Iraq under the Lend-Lease Act shall be furnished on the basis of current payment by the Iraqi Government, and other goods and services may be furnished on that basis by agreement from time to time. In the absence of special agreement, such payment shall be in United States dollars; however, by agreement between the two Governments prior to delivery payment may be made in Iraqi dinars or in goods or services. Articles obtained by the Iraqi Government in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph become the property of that Government and are

therefore excluded from the provisions of Article V of the agreement. 2. Such payments as may be made in Iraqi dinars shall be deposited to the credit of the Government of the United States of America in a depositary in Iraq to be selected by the United States Government. These deposits may be freely drawn upon and used by the Government of the United States of America. The Government of Iraq will permit the exportation to any destination desired by the United States of America of any materials and products purchased by the United States of America with such deposits. In any transactions envisaged in this paragraph the United States Government would, of course, conform to Iraqi laws and regulations in force with respect to internal price or supply programs which are not by their nature inconsistent with the assurances of this paragraph. 3.

Ante, pp. 1536, 1537.

With particular reference to Articles V and VII of the agreement, it is agreed that if substantial amounts of materials or assistance furnished or to be furnished under the Lend-Lease Act or otherwise, by any Agency of the United States Government without current payment by the Government of Iraq have been or shall be employed by either of our two Governments, during the present war, in the construction of any installations on Iraqi territory, the disposition of such installations remaining on Iraqi territory after the present war shall be governed by an agreement or agreements to which both our Governments shall be parties. Such agreement or agreements shall make appropriate provision for the future ownership and operation of the installation or installations in question, and for the payments or other benefits to be received by the Government of the United States of America on account of its contribution to their cost. The governing purpose of such agreement or agreements shall be to carry out in practice, in whatever way may then appear to be the most

If such agreement in the 59 Stat. 1539case of any installation is not reached within a reasonable time after the end of the present emergency, as determined by the President of the United States of America, the Government of the United States of America may withdraw that installation, or the parts thereof which it shall have contributed, whether located on private or on public land, doing no unnecessary damage in the process, and leaving the land involved in a safe condition. 4. The other obligations of our two Governments in respect of mutual aid will be satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the agreement signed this day.

Excellency:

With reference to recent communications and conversations between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Norway in relation to the making of an agreement between the two Governments relating to certain problems of marine transportation and litigation, I have the honor to inform you that the Government of the United States of America is prepared to give effect to an agreement in the following terms:

Article 1 (1) Each contracting Government agrees to waive

Waiver of claims arising from negligent navigation.

 all claims arising out of or in connection with negligent navigation or general average in respect of any cargo or freight owned by such Government and in respect of any vessel (including naval vessel) owned by such Government against the other contracting Government or any cargo freight or vessel (including naval vessel) owned by such other Government or against any servant or agent of such other Government or in any case where such other Government represents that such claim if made would ultimately be borne by such other Government. (2) Each contracting Government agrees on behalf of itself

Claims for salvage services.

 and of any organization which is owned or controlled by it and operating for its account or on its behalf to waive all claims for salvage services against the other contracting Government or against any cargo freight or vessel (including naval vessel) owned by such other Government or in any case where such other Government represents that such salvage claim if made would ultimately be borne by such other Government. (3) Each contracting Government agrees to waive all claims

Claims arising from loss of cargo, etc.

 for loss of or damage to cargo owned by such Government and arising out of the carriage thereof or for loss of or damage to any cargo or vessel owned by one contracting Government and caused by the shipment or carriage of cargo owned by the other contracting Government against such other Government or against any servant or agent of such other Government or against any vessel (including naval vessel) owned by such other Government or in any case where such other Government represents 59 Stat. 1542that the claim if made would ultimately be borne by such other Government. (4) Each contracting Government undertakes not to make

Insurance claim.

 any claim in respect of any vessel or cargo insured by it to which it may be entitled by virtue of any right of subrogation either— (a) Directly against the other contracting Government; or (b) In any case where such other Government represents that such claim if made would ultimately be borne by such other Government. (5)

Other maritime claims.

 Each contracting Government agrees to extend the principles of this Agreement to such other Maritime claims as may from time to time be agreed between them.
Article 2.

Inapplicability in certain cases.

 Where in any case claims arise which are not required to be waived by this Agreement in addition to or in conjunction with claims which are so required to be waived and it is necessary in any proceedings including proceedings for the limitation of liability that claims be marshalled or for the proper assessment of any salvage or general average that values should be estimated, the provisions of this Agreement shall not apply but claims which would otherwise be required to be waived under this Agreement shall be asserted. Any recoveries, however, shall be waived by the Government entitled to such recoveries or at the option of such Government shall be dealt with in such other way as will give effect to the purposes of this Agreement.
Article 3 (1)

“Vessel owned by a contracting Government.”

For the purpose of this Agreement the expression “vessel owned by a contracting Government” includes a vessel on bareboat charter to a contracting Government or requisitioned by a contracting Government on bareboat terms or time chartered to or otherwise operated by or for, a contracting Government on terms which authorize such Government to make this Agreement effective with respect to such vessel. (2)

Bare boat charters.

In order to carry out the full intention of the provisions of Article 1 of this Agreement each contracting Government will so arrange in connection with bareboat charters to it that the owners or persons interested through such owners shall not have or assert any claims of the character specified in Article 1. (3) Each Government represents that in no case in which a claim arises under any insurance that has been or will be effected on any ship or cargo owned by such Government, or by any wholly-owned agency or instrumentality of such Government, shall any rights that can be exercised against the other Government be subrogated to the insurers concerned insofar as the insurer’s liability relates to claims which are required to be waived by this Agreement.
Article 4.

Right to assert sovereign immunity.

 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of the right of either contracting Government in appropriate cases to assert sovereign immunity.
59 Stat. 1543
Article 5 (1) This Agreement shall apply in respect of all

Applicability.

 claims arising before the effective date of this Agreement but remaining unsettled at such date or which may arise during the currency of this Agreement. (2) This Agreement shall remain in force until the expiration

Duration.

 of one month from the date upon which either of the contracting Governments shall have given notice in writing of their intention to terminate it.

I have the honor to inform you that if an Agreement in accordance with the foregoing terms is acceptable to the Government of Norway, the Agreement shall be considered by the Government of the United States of America to have been concluded and to be in effect as of the date of a corresponding note from you indicating that the Government of Norway is prepared to give effect to the Agreement.

59 Stat. 1562 ACCORD entre le Gouvernement Provisoire de la République Française et les Gouvernements des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, du Royaume-Uni de Grande Bretagne et de l’Irlande du Nord, et de l’Union des Républiques Socialistes Soviétiques concernant la poursuite et le châtiment des grands criminels de guerre des Puissances Européennes de l’Axe. Considerant que les Nations Unies ont, à diverses reprises, proclamé leur intention de traduire en justice les criminels de guerre, Considerant que la Déclaration publiée à Moscou le 30 octobre 1943 sur les atrocités allemandes en Europe occupée a spécifié que les officiers et soldats allemands et les membres du parti nazi qui sont responsables d’atrocités et de crimes, ou qui ont pris volontairement part à leur accomplissement, seront renvoyés dans les pays où leurs forfaits abominables ont été perpétrés, afin qu’ils puissnt être jugés et punis conformément aux lois de ces pays libérés et des Gouvernements libres qui y seront établis; Considerant que cette Déclaration était faite sous réserve du cas des grands criminels, dont les crimes sont sans localisation géographique précise et qui seront punis par une décision commune des gouvernements alliés;

En consequence, le Gouvernement Provisoire de la République Française et les Gouvernements des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, du Royaume-Uni de Grande Bretagne et de l’Irlande du Nord, et de l’Union des Républiques Socialistes Soviétiques (dénommés ci-après “les Signataires”), agissant dans l’intérêt de toutes les Nations Unies, ont, par leurs Représentants dûment autorisés, conclu le présent Accord:

1. Un Tribunal Militaire International sera établi, après consultation avec le Conseil de Contrôle en Allemagne, pour juger les criminels de guerre dont les crimes sont sans localisation géographique précise, qu’ils soient accusés individuellement, ou à titre de membres d’organisations ou de groupes, ou à ce double titre. 2. La constitution, la juridiction et les fonctions du Tribunal Militaire International sont prévus dans le statut annexé au présent Accord, ce statut formant partie intégrale de l’Accord. 3. Chaque Signataire prendra les mesures nécessaires pour assurer la présence aux enquêtes, et au procès, des grands criminels de guerre qu’il détient et qui devront être jugés par le Tribunal Militaire International. Les Signataires devront également employer tous leurs efforts pour assurer la présence aux enquêtes et au procès devant le Tribunal Militaire International de ceux des grands criminels qui ne se trouvent pas sur le territoire de l’un des Signataires. 4. Aucune disposition du présent Accord ne porte atteinte aux principes fixés par la Déclaration de Moscou en ce qui concerne le 59 Stat. 1563renvoi des criminels de guerre dans les pays où ils ont commis leurs crimes. 5. Tous les Gouvernements des Nations Unies peuvent adhérer à cet Accord par avis donné par voie diplomatique au Gouvernement du Royaume-Uni, lequel notifiera chaque adhésion aux autres gouvernements signataires et adhérents. 6. Aucune disposition du présent Accord ne porte atteinte à la juridiction ou à la compétence des tribunaux nationaux ou des tribunaux d’occupation déjà établis, ou qui seront créés, dans les territoires alliés ou en Allemagne pour juger les criminels de guerre. 7. Cet Accord entrera en vigueur au jour de la signature; il restera en vigueur pendant une période d’un an et portera ensuite effet, sous réserve du droit de tout Signataire d’indiquer par la voie diplomatique, avec un préavis d’un mois, son intention d’y mettre fin. Cette résiliation ne portera pas atteinte aux mesures déjà prises ni aux décisions déjà rendues, en exécution du présent Accord.

En foi de quoi les Soussignés ont signé le présent Accord.

Constitution du Tribunal Militaire International.
Article 1. En exécution de l’accord signé le 8 Août 1945 par le Gouvernement Provisoire de la République Française et les Gouvernements des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, du Royaume Uni de Grande Bretagne et de l’Irlande du Nord, et de l’Union des Républiques Socialistes Soviétiques, un Tribunal Militaire International (dénommé ci-après “le Tribunal”) sera créé pour juger et punir, de façon appropriée et sans délai, les grands criminels de guerre des pays européens de l’Axe.
Article 2. Le Tribunal sera composé de quatre juges, assistés chacun d’un suppléant. Chacune des puissances signataires désignera un juge et un juge suppléant. Les suppléants devront, dans la mesure du possible, assister à toutes les séances du Tribunal. En cas de maladie d’un membre du Tribunal, ou si, pour toute autre raison, il n’est pas en mesure de remplir ses fonctions, son suppléant siègera à sa place.
Article 3. Ni le Tribunal, ni ses membres, ni leurs suppléants ne pourront être récusés par le Ministère Public, par les accusés, ou par les défenseurs. Chaque puissance signataire pourra remplacer le juge ou le suppléant désignés par elle, pour raisons de santé ou pour tout autre motif valable, mais aucun remplacement, autre que par un suppléant, ne devra être effectué pendant le cours d’un procès.
Article 4. a) La présence des quatre membres du Tribunal ou, en l’absence de l’un d’eux, de son suppléant, sera nécessaire pour constituer le quorum. b) Avant l’ouverture de tout procès, les membres du Tribunal s’entendront pour désigner l’un d’entre eux comme président, et le président remplira ses fonctions pendant toute la durée du procès, à moins qu’il n’en soit décidé autrement par un vote réunissant au moins trois voix. La présidence sera assurée à tour de rôle par chaque membre du Tribunal pour les procès successifs. Cependant, au cas où le Tribunal siégerait sur le territoire de l’une des quatre puissances signataires, le représentant de cette puissance assumera la présidence. c) Sous réserve des dispositions précédentes, le Tribunal prendra ses décisions à la majorité des voix, en cas de partage égal des voix, celle du Président sera prépondérante: étant entendu toutefois que les jugements et les peines ne seront prononcés que par un vote d’au moins trois membres du Tribunal.
59 Stat. 1565
Article 5. En cas de nécessité et selon le nombre de procès à juger, d’autres Tribunaux pourront être créés; la composition, la compétence et la procédure de chacun de ces tribunaux seront identiques et seront réglées par le présent Statut.
II. Juridiction et principes généraux.
Article 6.

Le Tribunal établi par l’Accord mentionné à l’article 1. ci-dessus pour le jugement et le châtiment des grands criminels de guerre des pays européens de l’Axe sera compétent pour juger et punir toutes personnes qui, agissant pour le compte des pays européens de l’Axe, auront commis, individuellement ou à titre de membres d’organisations, l’un quelconque des crimes suivants.

Les actes suivants, ou l’un quelconque d’entre eux, sont des crimes soumis à la juridiction du Tribunal et entrainent une responsabilité individuelle:

a) les crimes contre la paix: c’est à dire la direction, la préparation, le déclenchement ou la poursuite d’une guerre d’agression, ou d’une guerre en violation des traités, assurances ou accords internationaux, ou la participation à un plan concerté ou à un complot pour l’accomplissement de l’un quelconque des actes qui précèdent; b) les crimes de guerre: c’est à dire les violations des lois et coutumes de la guerre. Ces violations comprennent, sans y être limitées, l’assassinat, les mauvais traitements et la déportation pour des travaux forcés, ou pour tout autre but, des populations civiles dans les territoires occupés, l’assassinat ou les mauvais traitements de prisonniers de guerre ou des personnes en mer, l’exécution des otages, le pillage des biens publics ou privés, la destruction sans motif des villes et des villages, ou la dévastation que ne justifient pas les exigences militaires; c) les crimes contre l’humanite: c’est à dire l’assassinat, l’extermination, la réduction en esclavage, la déportation, et tout autre acte inhumain commis contre toutes populations civiles, avant ou pendant la guerre; ou bien les persécutions pour des motifs politiques, raciaux ou religieux, commises à la suite de tout crime rentrant dans la compétence du Tribunal International ou s’y rattachant, que ces persécutions aient constitué ou non une violation du droit interne du pays où elles ont été perpétrées. [11 [The contracting governments signed a protocol at Berlin on Oct. 6, 1945 (post, p. 1586) which provides that this part of the French text should be amended to read as follows:
(c) les crimes contre l’humanite: c’est à dire l’assassinat, l’extermination, la réduction en esclavage, la déportation, et tout autre acte inhumain commis contre toutes populations civiles, avant ou pendant la guerre, ou bien les persécutions pour des motifs politiques raciaux ou réligieux, lorsque ces actes ou persécutions, qu’ils aient constitué ou non une violation du droit interne du pays où ils ont été perpétrés, ont été commis à la suite de tout crime rentrant dans la compétence du Tribunal, ou en liaison avec ce crime.]] 59 Stat. 1566

Les dirigeants, organisateurs, provocateurs ou complices qui ont pris part à l’élaboration ou à l’exécution d’un plan concerté ou d’un complot pour commettre l’un quelconque des crimes ci-dessus définis sont responsables de tous les actes accomplis par toutes personnes, en exécution de ce plan.
Article 7. La situation officielle des accusés, soit comme chefs d’Etat, soit comme hauts fonctionnaires, ne sera considérée ni comme une excuse absolutoire ni comme un motif de diminution de la peine.
Article 8. Le fait que l’accusé a agi conformément aux instructions de son gouvernement ou d’un supérieur hiérarchique ne le dégagera pas de sa responsabilité, mais pourra être considéré comme un motif de diminution de la peine, si le Tribunal décide que la justice l’exige.
Article 9.

Lors d’un procès intenté contre tout membre d’un groupe ou d’une organisation quelconques, le Tribunal pourra déclarer (à l’occasion de tout acte dont cet individu pourrait être reconnu coupable) que le groupe, ou l’organisation à laquelle il appartenait était une organisation criminelle.

Après avoir reçu l’acte d’accusation, le Tribunal devra faire connaître, de la manière qu’il jugera opportune, que le Ministère Public a l’intention de demander au Tribunal de faire une déclaration en ce sens et tout membre de l’organisation aura le droit de demander au Tribunal à être entendu par celui-ci sur la question du caractère criminel de l’organisation. Le Tribunal aura compétence pour accéder à cette demande ou la rejeter. En cas d’admission de la demande, le Tribunal pourra fixer le mode selon lequel les requérants seront represéntés et entendus.
Article 10. Dans tous les cas où le Tribunal aura proclamé le caractère criminel d’un groupe ou d’une organisation, les autorités compétentes de chaque signataire auront le droit de traduire tout individu devant les tribunaux nationaux, militaires, ou d’occupation, en raison de son affiliation à ce groupe ou à cette organisation. Dans cette hypothèse, le caractère criminel du groupe ou de l’organisation sera considéré comme établi et ne pourra plus être contesté.
Article 11. Toute personne condamnée par le Tribunal International pourra être inculpée devant un Tribunal national, militaire, ou d’occupation, mentionnés à l’article 10 ci-dessus, d’un crime autre que son affiliation à une organisation ou à un groupe criminels, et le Tribunal saisi pourra, après l’avoir reconnu coupable, lui infliger une peine supplémentaire et indépendante de celle déjà imposée par le Tribunal International pour sa participation aux activités criminelles de ce groupe ou de cette organisation.
59 Stat. 1567
Article 12. Le Tribunal sera compétent pour juger en son absence tout accusé, ayant à répondre des crimes prévus par l’article 6 du présent Statut, soit que cet accusé n’ait pu être découvert, soit que le Tribunal l’estime nécessaire pour toute autre raison dans l’intérêt de la justice.
Article 13. Le Tribunal établira les règles de sa procédure. Ces règles ne devront en aucun cas être incompatibles avec les dispositions du présent Statut.
III. Commission d’Instruction et de Poursuite des grands criminels de guerre.

Le Tribunal sera compétent pour accepter, avec ou sans amendements, ou pour rejeter les règles qui lui seront proposées.

La Commission devra se prononcer sur tous les points ci-dessus spécifiés par un vote émis à la majorité et désignera un président en cas de besoin, en observant le principe du roulement; il est entendu que, en cas de partage égal de voix en ce qui concerne la désignation d’un accusé à traduire devant le Tribunal ou les crimes dont il sera accusé, sera adoptée la proposition du Ministère Public qui a demandé que cet accusé soit traduit devant le Tribunal ou qui a soumis les chefs d’accusation contre lui.

Article 19. Le Tribunal ne sera pas lié par les règles techniques relatives à l’administration des preuves. Il adoptera et appliquera autant que possible une procédure rapide et non formaliste et admettra tout moyen qu’il estimera avoir une valeur probante.
Article 20. Le Tribunal pourra exiger d’être informé du caractère de tout moyen de preuve avant qu’il ne soit présenté, afin de pouvoir statuer sur sa pertinence.
Article 21. Le Tribunal n’exigera pas que soit rapportée la preuve de faits de notoriété publique mais les tiendra pour acquis. Il considérera également comme preuves authentiques les documents et rapports officiels des Gouvernements des Nations Unies y compris ceux dressés par les Commissions établies dans les divers pays alliés pour les enquêtes sur les crimes de guerre, ainsi que les procès-verbaux des audiences et les décisions des tribunaux militaires ou autres tribunaux de l’une quelconque des Nations Unies.
Article 22. Le siège permanent du Tribunal sera à Berlin. La première réunion des membres du Tribunal, ainsi que celle des représentants du Ministère Public, se tiendra à Berlin, en un lieu qui sera fixé par le Conseil de Contrôle en Allemagne.

exchange. The extension of the program would terminate December 31, 1947, insofar as the funds contributed by the United States are concerned.

The type of work and specific projects to be undertaken and the cost thereof and the methods and procedures to be employed in conducting the program would be mutually agreed to by the appropriate official of the Government of Ecuador and an appropriate official of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs.

The Government of the United States of America would continue to furnish such experts as would be considered necessary in order to collaborate with Your Excellency’s Government in continuing the health and sanitation program.

59 Stat. 1591

All completed works and property acquired in connection with the program would become the property of the Government of Ecuador.

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

I would be glad if Your Excellency would be so good as to confirm to me your approval of this general proposal with the understanding that the program would be a subject of further discussion and agreement as provided for herein.

Please accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration.

December 21, 1944.

Your Excellency:

With reference to informal conversations which have been held by officers of the Department of State with Dr. Eduardo Garland, Minister-Counsellor of the Peruvian Embassy, regarding a Second Peruvian-United States Cooperative Fellowship Program, and in view of the excellent results reached by the accomplishment of the understanding outlined in the Department of State Memorandum

56 Stat. 1859.

dated July 30, 1942 [11 [Not printed.]] and the Embassy’s note of August 4, 1942 for a special technical training granted in educational institutions of the United States for advance students of Peru, I have been instructed by the Peruvian Government to inform Your Excellency that the Peruvian Government will be glad to agree to a program of this nature to be undertaken as follows:

The program will cover fifteen (15) fellowships at the graduate level for study in the United States, expenses and responsibilities of which will be taken care of as follows:

The Peruvian Government will attend to travel expenses from student’s residence in Peru to the place of study in the United States and return, tuition expenses during orientation and tuition expenses if necessary to place a student in a field of study specified by the Peruvian Government for which no fellowship is available.

The United States Government will handle maintenance expenses for twelve (12) months at place of study, including orientation period, in standard amounts now paid in the different localities and not exceeding $135.00 per month.

The Institute of International Education will take care of the acquisition of tuition fellowship for each candidate at principal place of study, in so far as possible, placement of candidates at appropriate institutions of higher learning in the United States and supervision of students, including periodical reports on their progress.

To achieve the best possible results the Peruvian Government considers that the following procedure be adopted for the program:

59 Stat. 1595 1. Fields of study. The Peruvian Government will decide on the fields of study in which technical instruction is to be given and on the number of persons to be appointed to each field. This information will be submitted as soon as possible to the Department of State in order that the Institute of International Education may earmark the necessary fellowships for as many fields as possible and send information to Peru regarding the general requirements for study in each field for the guidance of the selection authorities. 2. Selection of candidates. Candidates would submit their applications on forms of the Institute of International Education which would be filed with the Peruvian-North American Fellowship and Scholarship Committee in Lima. For the purpose of this program, the Peruvian Government would, should it so desire, appoint two representatives to sit with the Committee and have a voice in its proceedings. If possible, two candidates will be submitted for each fellowship. 3. Standards of eligibility. The awards will be made to persons with university or superior normal school degrees who have had at least one year of practical experience in the respective fields in which they wish to pursue graduate studies; who demonstrate that they possess a working knowledge of the English language; who have better than average academic records; who have satisfactory personality and potential adaptability to living abroad; and who are in good health. 4. Present location of candidates. The awards will be made to persons now in Peru who have not previously received fellowship assistance from the United States Government. 5. Orientation course. For the purpose of adequately preparing the Peruvian students to undertake the advanced courses most effectively, the students will be given orientation courses in the language and customs of the United States upon their arrival. This course will be given at the place agreed upon by the Department of State, the Peruvian Embassy in Washington, and the Institute of International Education, and the tuition charges therefor will be borne by the Peruvian Government. 6. Announcement of program. Public announcement of the program will be made simultaneously in Peru and in the United States at a mutually agreeable time. 7.

Time schedule. It is suggested that the following schedule be adopted:

Public Announcement shall be arranged for upon receipt of a reply from the Department of State to this note.

December 20, 1944—February 1, 1945—Receipt of applications by Selection Committee.

February 1—February 15, 1945—Review of applications by Selection Committee and transmission to the Institute of International Education.

59 Stat. 1596

March 1, 1945—May 1, 1945—Placement of candidates by the Institute of International Education.

May 1, 1945 (earlier if possible)—Announcement of awards.

June 1—June 15, 1945—Arrival of successful candidates in the United States.

June 15, 1945—Orientation.

(Date to be fixed in each case) — Commencement of formal studies.

 8. Renewals. Renewal of fellowships will be considered through the regular program of the Institute of International Education for a limited number of persons who demonstrate high ability, provided funds are available for this purpose. 9. Other conditions. Candidates must obligate themselves to return to Peru on the conclusion of their studies.

Fellowships may be revoked should any student demonstrate inability to pursue the studies for which he has been brought to the United States.

I will appreciate Your Excellency’s acceptance of this program which I believe will undoubtedly contribute to foster the excellent relations that have always existed between our two countries.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

P. G. Beltrán.

21, 1944, which refers to informal conversations which have been held by officers of the Department with Dr. Eduardo Garland, Minister-Counsellor of the Peruvian Embassy, regarding a Second Peruvian-United States Cooperative Fellowship Program and expresses the desire of the Peruvian Government, in view of the excellent results of the First Program, to undertake a similar agreement with the Government of the United States.

I have noted that it is proposed that the program cover fifteen (15) fellowships at the graduate level for study in the United States, expenses and responsibilities of which would be divided between the Peruvian Government and the Government of the United States, the latter having the cooperation of the Institute of International Education. The specific conditions governing the procedure for carrying out the program have been noted and this Government is in entire accord with them.

59 Stat. 1597

It is a source of satisfaction to my Government that the First Peruvian-United States Cooperative Fellowship Program should have been so successful, and it is with much pleasure that I am able to inform you of my Government’s desire to cooperate in this Second Program.

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

Excellency:

I have the honor to refer to the verbal indication made on March 23, 1945, by an officer of the Ecuadoran Embassy to an officer of the Department of State that Your Excellency’s Government desires to conclude an agreement with this Government with respect to the application of the United States Selective Training and Service Act

54 Stat. 885.

Ante, p. 166.

Registration.

of 1940, as amended, to Ecuadoran 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.

Nationals of cobelligerent countries.

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.

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 59 Stat. 1599opportunity of electing to transfer to the armed forces of their own country. 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 Ecuador 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.

Excelentísimo Señor:

Tengo a honra llevar a conocimiento de Vuestra Excelencia que he recibido instrucciones de mi Gobierno para aceptar el arreglo administrativo sobre la aplicación a ciudadanos venezolanos que se encuentran en este país de la Ley de Entrenamiento y Servicio Selectivo de los Estados Unidos, de 1940, arreglo que ha sido propuesto en la nota que Vuestra Excelencia me ha dirigido con fecha 10 del mes en curso.

El Gobierno de Venezuela conviene, en condiciones de reciprocidad, en la opción propuesta a favor de los ciudadanos venezolanos que se han registrado bajo la citada ley, o que se encuentran ya al servicio del ejército de los Estados Unidos, para solicitar su transferencia al ejército de Venezuela. A este respecto mi Gobierno acepta también las garantías señaladas en los parágrafos a), b) y c) de la nota arriba citada.

Considero oportuno señalar que, de acuerdo con la Ley del Servicio Militar Obligatorio de Venezuela, los ciudadanos venezolanos en el extranjero que hay an alcanzado la edad correspondiente, están obligados a inscribirse en las oficinas consulares respectivas de la República para servir militarmente en las fuerzas armadas de Venezuela, y que el no cumplimiento de esta obligación trae aparejada la correspondiente sanción penal.

Mi Gobierno espera que el cumplimiento de esta obligación legal por parte de un venezolano, no sea considerada como una infracción a la garantía estipulada en el parágrafo a) de la nota que contesto, desde el momento que no implica ninguna presión individual aislada y ad hoc.

El Gobierno venezolano se dispone a dar vigencia inmediata al convenio de que me ocupo, y a examinar los detalles de su aplicación con las autoridades del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos.

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

an arrangement proposed in the note addressed to me by Your Excellency on the 10th of the current month.

The Government of Venezuela agrees, on reciprocal terms, to the option proposed on behalf of the Venezuelan citizens who have registered under the said Act, or who have already entered the service of the United States Army, to apply for transfer to the Venezuelan Army. In this respect, my Government likewise accepts the guarantees indicated in paragraphs a), b), and c) of the aforementioned note.

Ante, p. 1603.

I deem opportune to point out that, in keeping with the compulsory Military Service Law of Venezuela, Venezuelan citizens abroad who have attained the corresponding age are obliged to register in the respective consular offices of the Republic, in order to serve in the armed forces of Venezuela, and that failure to comply with this obligation involves, without further process, the corresponding penal sanction.

My Government hopes that compliance with this legal obligation by a Venezuelan citizen will not be interpreted as an infraction of the guarantee stipulated in paragraph a) of the note I am now answering, since it implies no ad hoc pressure on any single individual.

The Venezuelan Government is ready to enforce at once the agreement in question, and to go over the details for its application with the authorities of the United States Government.

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

Mr. Secretary:

I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that 1 have received instructions from my Government to accept the agreement of an administrative character which was proposed by Your Excellency in the note of the twenty-third instant relative to the application to Peruvian citizens of the United States Selective Training and Service Act of 1940.

The Peruvian Government accepts, on a reciprocal basis, the option proposed in favor of Peruvian citizens registered under the said act or who are now serving under the United States flag to place themselves at the disposal of the appropriate Peruvian military authorities for the purposes of the provisions of their obligatory military service, as well as the guarantees stipulated in Paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of the note under reference.

59 Stat. 1609

The Government of Peru is ready to put into force immediately the said agreement and to study the details of its application with the appropriate authorities of the Government of the United States.

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

Excellency:

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

50 U. S. C. app. §§ 301–318; Supp. IV, § 302 et seq.

Ante, p. 166.

Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, to Chilean 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.

Nationals of cobelligerent countries.

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 nationalsi 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.

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 59 Stat. 1611electing to transfer to the armed forces of their own country. 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.

No. 266

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the Convention between Canada and the United States for the Protection, Preservation and Extension of the Sockeye Salmon Fisheries in the Fraser River System, signed at

50 Stat. 1355.

Washington on May 26, 1930.

2. Under Article 111 of the Convention, the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission is required to “make a thorough investigation into the natural history of the Fraser River sockeye salmon, into hatchery methods, spawning ground conditions and other related matters”. The Commission may also recommend to the two Governments “removing or otherwise overcoming obstructions to the ascent of sockeye salmon, that may now exist or may from time to time occur, in any of the waters covered by this Convention, where investigation may show such removal of or other action to overcome obstructions to be desirable”. 3. As a result of extensive investigation the Commission recommended to the two Governments on January 11, 1944, remedial measures for overcoming obstructions to the ascent of the salmon in Hell’s Gate Canyon and further investigation and remedial measures for overcoming obstructions to the ascent of the salmon elsewhere in the Fraser River watershed. It was estimated that the costs of the works recommended would be $2,000,000, which, in accordance with Article 111, paragraph 2, of the Convention, would be shared equally between the two Governments. One copy of the letter and memorandum from the Commission under date of January 11, signed by the chairman and secretary are attached hereto as appendix A. Also attached as appendix B is one copy of a fist of the remedial works recommended by the Commission. 4. The Canadian Government has approved of these recommendations of the Commission as set forth in its letter and report of January 11. A vote of $1,000,000 to provide for Canada’s share of the costs of these works has been recommended to Parliament. The Commission has also been authorized by Order in Council P. C. 5002 of June 30, 1944, to let contracts for the remedial works recommended. One copy of Order in Council P. C. 5002, marked appendix C, is attached hereto. 59 Stat. 1615 5. The regular procedure for the payment of expenses properly incurred by the Commission is that such expenses are paid by the Canadian Government, one-half being recoverable later by Canada from the United States. This procedure was agreed to by the United States by your note of December 10, 1937. [11 [Not printed.]] It is acceptable to the Canadian Government that this procedure should be followed with respect to expenditures incurred by the Commission for the proposed remedial works. 6. It would appear desirable that the recommendations of the Commission as set forth in its letter and report of January 11, 1944 and the arrangements proposed for implementing these recommendations should be formally approved by Exchange of Notes between the two Governments. 7. If these proposals are acceptable to the Government of the United States, this note and your reply thereto accepting the proposals shall be regarded as placing on record the agreement of the two governments concerning this matter.

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

 59 Stat. 1616 APPENDIX “A” COPY

January 11th, 1944.

Sir,

In the Pacific Northwest a particularly valuable species of salmon, known as Sockeye, was once so abundant that in 1913 it produced a pack of almost a quarter of a billion one pound cans which, at present prices, would be worth over forty million dollars. Now, one-eighth of that amount is considered a good pack.

The blasting of rocks during railroad construction in a narrow gorge of the Fraser River known as Hell’s Gate Canyon, is charged with causing this huge decline by obstructing passage of the fish to their up-river spawning grounds. It is now believed, however, that great numbers of fish were fatally retarded at this canyon even under natural conditions.

Canada and the United States created this Commission to rehabilitate this once enormous food supply of the two nations—for though the spawning all takes place in Canada, United States fishermen get first chance to catch the fish as they pass through Puget Sound to approach the Fraser River mouth.

After intensive investigation it has been conclusively shown that the terrific rush and surge of water at Hell’s Gate Canyon is largely responsible for failure of the salmon run to recover its former magnitude. Furthermore, the Commission finds that construction of socalled fish-ladders at this point will largely eliminate the difficulty. Some lesser obstructions also should be eliminated.

The Treaty requires the Commission to recommend to the two Governments the removal of obstructions. Accordingly the Commission herewith submits a biological report showing the necessity for action, an engineering report showing the action required, and a request for two million dollars with which to accomplish the desired result.

Respectfully submitted,

International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission

By

“Edward W. Allen” Chairman. “A. J. Whitmore” Secretary.

Honourable Ernest Bertrand, K.C., P.C.,

Minister of Fisheries, Ottawa.

 59 Stat. 1617 RECOMMENDATION OF INTERNATIONAL PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR OVERCOMING OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE ASCENT OF SOCKEYE SALMON, PURSUANT TO TERMS OF A TREATY BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

The International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission was created for the purpose of rehabilitating a Pacific Coast salmon run known as the sockeye salmon of the Fraser River. In its largest year this run produced almost a quarter of a billion pounds of finest quality canned salmon which at present prices would have a value of more than forty million dollars. An eighth of that amount is now considered a good pack.

Among causes suggested for this great decline were need for international regulation and damage to the runs by blasting of rocks and by rock slides during railroad construction in the narrow gorge of the Fraser River, up which the fish must ascend to reach their spawning grounds. The first function of the Commission was to determine what were the actual causes, next to suggest remedies, and after eight years to regulate the catch.

Sockeye salmon normally spawn in late summer or fall in gravel beds in streams which are near lakes, or in the lakes themselves in the upper Fraser River drainage area, some 90,000 square miles in extent. The eggs hatch in early spring, and the young usually spend a year in lakes, then go down to sea and when four years old return to the very stream in which they were boro, then in turn to spawn and die. The production of each stream therefore depends upon the run to that stream four years before. In a big river system like the Fraser with its numerous feeder streams there are therefore many separate runs each year. These may occur at different times during a season, though in fact there is much overlapping of such runs.

If the salmon had to keep on their way upstream or die and a run lasted only 30 days and there was a period of 30 days right at the time of such run when the fish could not pass up the river, the conclusion would be natural that such run would not reproduce itself. The problem is not that simple. However, the Commission did find that salmon could only stand a limited delay and that if the delay exceeded such limit they dropped downstream and were lost for reproductive purposes.

The Commission further found that there were specific levels of the river during which the salmon were unable to get up through the terrific rush of water at Hell’s Gate Canyon and that these impassable levels occurred during the salmon season, but varied greatly in time, length, and seriousness from year to year. In some years practically all the runs which had survived to that year got through. In other years the entire season was nearly impassable (in 1941 it is estimated that one 59 Stat. 1618 million fish were unable to ascend the Canyon, dropped down below and died). In some years certain runs were affected; others were not.

It was also found that, although Hell’s Gate Canyon was by far the most serious obstruction of this character, there were other places in the river system, each of which took its toll. Some forty such obstructions were specifically noted, of greatly varying importance, but a much more thorough survey of the seriousness of each, and of conditions at other points where difficulty may exist than the Commission has thus far been able to make, is essential. Moreover, the Commission found large areas apparently suitable to salmon spawning which never had been utilized because of some natural obstruction, and that it was probable that an adequate survey and proper remedial action would be the means of opening up such areas, thereby increasing the productivity of the system beyond what it had ever been.

A most important consideration is that a depleted run of sockeye salmon if given a reasonable opportunity recuperates rapidly. There are, however, great areas to which the runs of certain years have been completely destroyed. Such areas require distinctive treatment. Moreover, any measure of redress, in order to be effective, will require the aid of regulation of the catch.

Viewing the entire field, the Commission found that it would be uneconomical and unsound, if not wholly futile, to attempt to resort to any recuperative or regulatory measure if the same might in any year be rendered fruitless by reason of the restored runs being again depleted by being obstructed in their attempted passage up Hell’s Gate Canyon or other points of difficulty.

Accordingly, it is essential that as a first step in an orderly rehabilitation of the sockeye salmon of the Fraser River system as a whole that this continuous threat of destruction at Hell’s Gate Canyon be removed. After that, many runs will promptly proceed to restore themselves and this natural process can be going on while the Commission effectuates its plan to bring back lost runs as well as those so close to extinction as to require artificial stimulation, and to produce runs into new areas. Gradual removal of minor obstructions can also be carried on concurrently, as biological and engineering studies indicate the corrective action necessary.

These facts and conclusions are the result of six years of intensive investigation of every available source of information from official and commercial records and from one of the largest fish tagging experiments ever conducted, many thousands of fish having been tagged in salt water and at different parts of the river with observable celluloid tags these then having been collected by means of rewards and otherwise, also by the use of trained observers systematically stationed throughout the area.

Submitted herewith is a biological report from the Commission’s scientific staff which presents a remarkable record of investigation and analysis. Dr. W. F. Thompson, until he came to this Commission, had been Scientific Director of the International Fisheries Commission (Halibut) and was largely responsible for the accomplishments of 59 Stat. 1619 that Commission which have justly won world-wide recognition. He is now the Scientific Consultant for this Commission.

When the Commission became convinced that a basic difficulty in rehabilitating the Fraser sockeye salmon run lay at Hell’s Gate Canyon, it not only concentrated its biological work to bear upon that point but also engaged the most experienced fishery engineers available. Milo Bell, the Commission’s chief engineer, is the only active engineer in either nation who has specialized in fishery conservation devices directly related to Pacific salmon. And he in turn has had the assistance of Professor Charles W. Harris, an outstanding hydraulic engineer, as consultant.

So-called fish-ladders have been in use for many years as a means of enabling fish to ascend rivers blocked by dams and natural obstructions. The greatest installation heretofore made was at the Bonneville Dam on the lower Columbia River. The fishery devices at the Bonneville are said to have cost approximately $7,000,000.00. Nevertheless, these fully justified the expenditure for they have successfully demonstrated their effectiveness in passing the well known Chinook salmon up the Columbia. The practical use of fish-ladders is therefore well recognized in the engineering field.

In the engineering report submitted herewith, the use of fish-ladders to obviate the Hell’s Gate Canyon obstruction is presented. But although the Fraser salmon run substantially exceeds that of the Columbia both in quantity and value, the cost of the proposed fish-ladders at Hell’s Gate Canyon, together with the estimated cost of investigating and overcoming other obstructions and incidental remedial proposals, all together is less than one-third of the cost of the work at Bonneville.

The Commission therefore requests a total appropriation of $2,000,000, one-half from Canada, one-half from the United States, for the purposes above outlined. One good year’s run restored should produce a catch ten times the entire proposed investment. And under continued and adequate regulation and protection, this enormous food resource should become recurrent year after year in perpetuity.

Respectfully submitted,

International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission

That a similar sum has been provided for the same purpose by the Government of the United States, thus enabling the work to proceed at joint expense;

That persons who, in the opinion of the Minister, may be interested in the work contemplated at Hell’s Gate, including the Government of the Province of British Columbia, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Canadian National Railways, have been consulted with reference thereto and that such persons have no objection thereto provided their interests are adequately safeguarded;

That it is, by reason of the war, necessary for the security, defence, peace, order and welfare of Canada that the Order hereinafter set forth be made.

Therefore, His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Fisheries, and under the authority of the War Measures Act, is pleased, hereby, to authorize the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission constituted pursuant to the Fraser River Sockeye Convention, confirmed by chapter ten of the Statutes of Canada, one thousand, nine hundred and thirty, to enter into contracts in the name of His Majesty in right of Canada for the execution of the work at Hell’s Gate Canyon and other points on the Fraser River, British Columbia, for which money is, or is to be, provided by the said Vote 83 hereinbefore set out; and is further pleased to authorize and doth hereby authorize the chairman and secretary of the said Commission to execute any such contract on behalf of the Commission.

A. J. P. Heeney. Clerk of the Privy Council 59 Stat. 1625 The Secretary of State to the Canadian Chargé d’Affaires ad interim

Department of State Washington

August 5, 1944

Sir:

I have your Embassy’s note No. 266 of July 21, 1944, with enclosures, in regard to the recommendation of remedial measures for overcoming obstructions to the ascent of the salmon in Hell’s Gate Canyon and further investigation and remedial measures for overcoming obstructions to the ascent of the salmon elsewhere in the Fraser River system, which, pursuant to Article III of the Convention between the United States and Canada for the Protection, Preservation and Extension of the Sockeye Salmon Fisheries in the Fraser River system, signed at Washington on May 26, 1930, was

50 Stat. 1357.

made to the American and Canadian Governments on January 11, 1944 by the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission.

As you point out the estimated cost of the works recommended, which was two million dollars, would in accordance with Article III, paragraph 2 of the Convention, be shared equally between the two governments.

The Government of the United States has approved the recommendation of the Commission as set forth in its letter and report of January 11, 1944, and the accompanying documents including the “General Engineering Report Covering Fraser River Fisheries Projects” and the first Deficiency Appropriation Act, 1944, approved April 1, 1944 (Public Law 279, 78th Congress), contained the following

58 Stat. 150, 162.

appropriation:

“International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission

Restoration of salmon runs Fraser River system: For the share of the United States of expenses incident to the work of improving facilities for sockeye salmon migration in the Fraser River by the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission, under the convention between the United States and Canada, concluded May 26, 1930, including personal services; traveling expenses; rent; purchase, maintenance, repair, and operation of not to exceed four motor-propelled, passenger-carrying vehicles; purchase of furniture, instruments, and equipment; construction of fishways; removal of obstructions and stream improvement; construction of warehouse for storage of equipment; and such other expenses as the Secretary of State may deem proper, to be expended under his direction, $1,000,000, to remain available until expended.”

The Department observes from paragraph 5 of your note that it is acceptable to the Canadian Government that the regular procedure 59 Stat. 1626 whereunder expenses properly incurred by the Commission are paid by the Canadian Government, one-half being recoverable later by Canada from the United States, should be followed with respect to expenditures incurred by the Commission for the proposed remedial works. The Government of the United States agrees to this procedure and, subject to the limits of the above-quoted appropriation, will reimburse the Canadian Government for one-half of the joint expenses properly incurred by the Commission in connection with the remedial works in question, the full amount of such expenses having been paid by the Government of Canada, it being understood that in the settlement of such amounts the procedure now observed by the two governments in settling the joint expenses of the Commission will be followed.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration,

For the Secretary of State: G. Howland Shaw

MEMORANDUM

The Government of the United States of America directs the attention of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the proposed agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act and in particular to Article IV thereof. Under Article IV this Government will review, from time to time, and particularly at the conclusion of hostilities in Europe, as determined by the President, articles and services set forth in the Schedule annexed to the Agreement in order to determine whether the delivery of such articles or services should be withheld in the national interest of the United States. The reservation made by this Government in Article IV to withhold delivery of articles and services “whenever the President determines that such action is in the national interest” constitutes a broad power to cancel or revoke procurement programs or contracts. It is not possible to predict with precision what occasions or circumstances may arise in the future which may require this Government to withhold delivery. Actual delivery will always be subject to the development of the military situation, and the changing demands of strategy, as well as to economic and financial factors which affect the national interest of this Government.

It is further understood that the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be obligated to pay currently for civilian supplies furnished by the combined military authorities under “Plan A” or “Plan A” as modified. Payment will be made in accordance with the arrangements to be made with the governments which have furnished the supplies, and in United States dollars to the extent determined under such arrangements.

It is, of course, understood that in the implementation of the provisions of any lend-lease agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Government of the United States of America will act in accordance with its Constitutional procedures.

Washington, April 30th, 1945.

My dear Mr. Secretary:

Several questions of interpretation have arisen with respect to the language of the Agreement between our two Governments under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act. I believe it will be helpful to indicate the understanding which my Government now has with respect to these questions and I would appreciate an expression from you as to whether or not these understandings are correct.

1. It is the understanding of my Government that the Agreement does not apply to arms and munitions, and that arms and munitions now or hereafter provided to my Government will be supplied, on a straight lend-lease basis, under the Agreement of July 8, 1942 between

56 Stat. 1554.

 our two Governments on the principles applying to mutual aid. 2. We understand that in general it is not the intention of the

56 Stat. 1555.

 United States Government to exercise its right under Article V of the Agreement between our two Governments dated July 8, 1942 to recapture any articles for which the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has paid or is to pay the United States Government. If, however, the United States Government should exercise this right with respect to any such articles, appropriate arrangements will be made for repayment to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 3. With reference to the last paragraph of Article III of the Agreement

Ante, p. 1628.

 under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, it is the understanding of my Government that no articles or services will be transferred or rendered to my Government under that Article unless they have been requisitioned by my Government. 4. In the first paragraph of Article IV of the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, it is stated that changes may be made from time to time in the items set forth in the Schedule annexed thereto, by mutual agreement between the United States of America and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is our understanding that this language means that not only the items but also the values expressed for each item in the Schedule and the total value expressed for the whole Schedule, may be modified by mutual agreement taking into consideration among other things the supply situation in the United States and the established needs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 5. With regard generally to the provisions of the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act with reference to risk of loss and transfer, as expressed in Section A of the Schedule annexed to the Agreement, it is my understanding that a suitable opportunity will be given to representatives of my Government, in accordance with the general procedure of your Government, to inspect articles proposed to be transferred before their transfer. 6. With reference to the provision of the Schedule annexed to the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act that risk of 59 Stat. 1634 loss shall pass in accordance with the customary practice of the United States Government with respect to transfers under the Act of Congress

55 Stat. 31.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 411–419.

Ante, p. 52.

 of March 11, 1941, it is the understanding of my Government that under the practice referred to risk of loss usually passes when the articles leave the possession of the supplier or are withdrawn from the United States Government stock. 7. With reference to the provision of Section A of the Schedule annexed to the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act that “those articles which, prior to the end of the periods authorized by law, shall have been contracted for by the United States Government and shall not have been transferred to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as above set forth, shall be deemed to be transferred to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands upon the last day of such periods”, it is the understanding of my Government that the term “periods” refers to the period as now provided for by the last clause of Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, or as such period may hereafter be extended by amendment of that Act, during which the powers conferred by or pursuant to Section 3 (a) of that Act may be exercised to the extent necessary to carry out a contract or agreement made under Section 3 (c) of that Act.

Minister of the Netherlands.

 59 Stat. 1635 The Netherlands Minister to the Acting Secretary of State

Washington, April 30th, 1945.

Sir,

In the United Nations declaration of January 1, 1942, the contracting

55 Stat. 1600.

governments pledged themselves to employ their full resources, military and economic, against those nations with which they are at war; and in the Agreement of July 8, 1942 between the Government of

56 Stat. 1554.

 the United States and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands on the Principles Applying to Mutual Aid in the Prosecution of the War Against Aggression each contracting government undertook to provide the other with such articles, services, facilities or information useful in the prosecution of their common war undertaking as it might be in a position to supply. It is the understanding of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that the general principle to be followed in providing mutual aid as set forth in the said Agreement of July 8, 1942 is that the war production and the war resources of both nations should be used by each in ways which most effectively utilize the available materials, manpower, production facilities and shipping space.

With a view, therefore, to supplementing the Agreement of July 8, 1942, I have the honor to set forth below the understanding of the

56 Stat. 1554.

Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands of the principles and procedures applicable to the provision of aid by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the armed forces of the United States and in the manner in which such aid will be correlated with the maintenance of such forces by the United States Government.

1. The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, retaining the right of final decision in each case in the light of its own potentialities and responsibilities, will provide the United States or its armed forces with the following types of assistance as reciprocal aid when and to the extent that it is found that they can most effectively be procured in the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands: (a) Military equipment, munitions and military and naval stores; (b) Other supplies, materials, facilities, services and information for the United States forces including payment of those civil claims against the United States and its armed forces, employees and officers that shall be mutually agreed upon by the two Governments as a proper charge against the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but not including the pay and allowances of United States forces, the wages and salaries of civilian officials of the United States Government and the administrative expenses of United States missions; (c) Supplies, materials, facilities, services and information needed in the construction of military projects, tasks and similar capital works required for the common war effort in the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, except for the wages and salaries of United States citizens; 59 Stat. 1636 (d) Supplies, materials, facilities, services and information needed in the construction of such military projects tasks and capital works in territory other than territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands or territory of the United States to the extent that territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a more practicable source of supply than the United States or another of the United Nations; (e) Such other supplies, materials, facilities, services and information as may be agreed upon as necessary in the prosecution of the war. 2. The practical application of the principles formulated in this note, including the procedure by which requests for aid are made and acted upon, shall be worked out as occasion may require by agreement between the two governments, acting when possible through their appropriate military or civilian administrative authorities. Requests by the United States Government for such aid will be presented by duly authorized authorities of the United States to official agencies of the Government of the Netherlands which will be designated or established by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the purpose of facilitating the provision of reciprocal aid. 3. It is the understanding of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that all such aid, as well as other aid, including information.

56 Stat. 1555.

 received under Article VI of the Agreement of July 8, 1942, accepted by the President of the United States or his authorized representatives from the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be received as a benefit to the United States under the Act

55 Stat. 31.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 411–419.

Ante, p. 52.

 of March 11, 1941. In so far as circumstances will permit, appropriate record of aid received under this arrangement will be kept by each Government. 4. In order to facilitate the procurement in the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands of supplies, materials, facilities, information and services described in Section 1, by permitting their direct purchase rather than their procurement by the methods contemplated in Section 2, during the period of military operations and until such time as the official agencies of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are able to provide such reciprocal aid in the manner contemplated in Section 2, the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands agrees to make available to designated officers of the United States Government such Netherlands currency or credits as may be needed for the purpose. The necessary arrangements will be made by the appropriate authorities of the two governments.

If the Government of the United States concurs in the foregoing, I would suggest that the present note and your reply to that effect be regarded as placing on record the understanding of our two Governments in this matter and as superseding the exchange of notes of

57 Stat. 991.

June 14, 1943 on this subject, and that for clarity and convenience of administration the present note and your reply be made retroactive 59 Stat. 1637 July 8, 1942, the date of the Agreement of the two Governments on the principles applying to mutual aid.

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

is hereby superseded by your present note and this reply, both of which in accordance with the suggestion contained in your present note, will be regarded as placing on record the understanding between our two Governments in this matter.

My dear Mr. Minister:

By the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act signed today between the Government of the United States of America and 59 Stat. 1638 the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Government of the United States has undertaken, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein stated, to make aid available under the Lend-Lease Act to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. By the Reciprocal Aid Ante, p. 1627. Agreement also entered into today between our two Governments, your Government has undertaken to render reciprocal aid from the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, including the Netherlands East Indies. It is the understanding of both Governments that this reciprocal aid will include mutually agreed upon quantities of raw materials from the Netherlands East Indies for the use of the United States military or naval forces or for war production in the United States.

The articles and services now specifically covered by the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act are those listed in the Schedule annexed to the Agreement. These are for Metropolitan Netherlands only. Article IV of the Agreement, however, provides that changes may be made in that Schedule by mutual agreement between the two Governments, and my Government is prepared in the light of the military situation and its developments to consider changes under that Article with a view to providing essential supplies, of the general type of those listed in the Schedule, necessary for the prosecution of the combined war effort in the Pacific. Any articles and services agreed upon between our two Governments as aid to be so furnished for the Netherlands East Indies under the Agreement will, when so agreed upon, become additions to the Schedule and will be transferred by the Government of the United States of America and accepted by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the Netherlands East Indies, subject to the terms of the Agreement.

It is not the intention of this Government to provide to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands under the 3 (c) Agreement articles having a long production cycle and a long life.

Sincerely yours,

My dear Mr. Secretary,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 30th outlining your Government’s views concerning certain aspects of the agreements entered into between our two Governments on this date.

I am pleased to state that the views of your Government coincide with, those held by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in respect to these matters.

Washington, April 30th, 1945.

My dear Mr. Secretary:

Some questions of interpretation have arisen with respect to the language of my note to you dated April 30, 1945, setting forth the understanding of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands of the principles and procedures applicable to the provision of aid by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the armed forces of the United States. I am, therefore, giving you the interpretation placed by my Government on those questions, and I would appreciate an expression from you whether or not you agree to these interpretations:

1. The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, taking into consideration its own potentialities and responsibilities, retains the final decision as to the scope, extent and duration of its provision of aid to the armed forces of the United States. 2. As regards services and supplies procured by the armed forces of the United States either by direct requisition or by use of the funds or credits made available under the terms of Section 4 of my note, the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands retains the right of deciding whether or not they can be provided as reverse lend-lease.

Finally, I want to state that although the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is fully prepared to give reciprocal aid up to the limits of its possibilities, the extent of reciprocal aid will necessarily depend on the economic situation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands after its liberation from enemy occupation, on the flow of imported supplies and on the development of its foreign exchange position.

Sincerely yours,

W. v. Boetzelaer. Minister of the Netherlands

Sir:

In reply to your letter of today’s date outlining your Government’s interpretation of two questions arising in respect to your note on reciprocal aid also of today’s date, I am pleased to state that your Government’s interpretation is concurred in by the Government of the United States.

Sincerely yours,

The Honorable

Minister of the Netherlands.

 The Acting Secretary of State to the Netherlands Minister

Department of State Washington

April 30, 1945

My dear Mr. Minister:

You will recall that on June 14, 1943, Dean Acheson, Assistant Secretary of State, addressed a letter to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with respect to the receipt by this Government as reciprocal aid of articles previously purchased abroad and imported into territories of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In this letter Mr. Acheson stated that this Government does not expect the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands or the authorities in its territories to furnish such articles to American forces as reciprocal aid and that, if such articles were furnished as reciprocal aid in emergency situations, this Government would be entirely agreeable to the principle that they should be replaced from the United States as soon as possible. Mr. Acheson further stated that American forces would not request or accept as reciprocal aid any such articles, the replacement of which was regarded by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as desirable, without specific authorization in each case from the War Department.

The exigencies of war has made strict compliance with this procedure impractical, and your Government has furnished such articles to this Government and its armed forces without compliance with this procedure. The quantity and value of the articles so furnished are not yet known and it is anticipated that considerable time may be required before mutual agreement can be reached as to the exact value of the articles to be replaced under the terms of Mr. Acheson’s letter.

At the time of Mr. Acheson’s letter no non-military supplies were being provided by my Government to your Government as straight lend-lease. Now, however, our two Governments have concluded an agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, under which this Government will furnish non-military supplies as straight lend-lease aid to your Government to the extent provided therein.

59 Stat. 1641

I should therefore like to propose that the obligation in Mr. Acheson’s letter to replace articles provided as reciprocal aid which have previously been purchased abroad and imported into territories of the Kingdom of the Netherlands should not apply to articles hereafter made available to this Government as reciprocal aid.

With respect to such articles transferred as reciprocal aid by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United States or its armed forces prior to the date of the signing of the Agreement

Ante, p. 1627.

under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, I should like to propose that final action with respect to replacement be deferred until the final determination of the terms and conditions upon which mutual aid has been provided and received by the two Governments in accordance

56 Stat. 1554.

 with the terms of the Agreement of July 8, 1942, with respect to the principles applying to mutual aid. At the time such a final determination is reached, and the full extent of the aid furnished by the United States and the reciprocal aid furnished by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands becomes known, the United States will make such replacement in accordance with the principles expressed in Mr. Acheson’s letter to any extent then mutually agreed upon between the two Governments as just and equitable.

Sincerely yours,

Joseph C. Grew Acting Secretary

In your letter you make certain proposals in relation to the obligation assumed by your Government in Mr. Acheson’s letter.

I have the honor to advise you that your proposals are satisfactory to my Government.

In the agreement of June 16, 1942 between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Belgium, each contracting Government undertook to provide the other with such articles, services, facilities and information useful in the prosecution of their common war undertaking as each may be in a position to supply.

The Government of the United States of America and the Government of Belgium desire to insure the continuing provision of such articles, services, facilities or information without interruption owing to any uncertainty as to the date when the military resistance of the common enemy may cease; and desire to insure further that such articles, services, facilities or information as shall be agreed to be furnished by the United States for the purpose of providing war aid to the Government of Belgium, shall be disposed of and transferred, following a determination by the President that such aid is no longer necessary to the prosecution of the war, in an orderly manner which will best promote their mutual interests.

Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Government of Belgium from anticipating the payment of any of such installments or any part thereof. 3. If by agreement of the United States of America and the Government of Belgium it is determined that, because of extraordinary and adverse economic conditions arising during the course of payment, the payment of a due installment would not be in the joint interest of the United States of America and the Government of Belgium, payment may be postponed for an agreed upon period. D.

 Interest on the unpaid balances of the total purchase price determined under Section B above for any article so transferred, shall be paid by the Government of Belgium at the fixed rate of two and three-eighths per cent per annum, accruing from the first day of July, 1946 or from the first day of July next following the day on which such article shall have been transferred, whichever is later.

 The Government of Belgium shall pay to the United States of America the cost of the services listed in this schedule to the extent that such services shall be rendered to the Government of Belgium following the determination by the President that such services are no longer necessary to the prosecution of the war.

Total $325,200,000
59 Stat. 1647 MEMORANDUM OF INTERPRETATION

with respect to the agreement between the United States of America and Belgium under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act

The Government of the United States of America directs the attention of the Government of Belgium to the proposed agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act and in particular to Article IV thereof. Under Article IV this Government will review, from time to time, and particularly at the conclusion of hostilities in Europe, as determined by the President, articles and services set forth in the Schedule annexed to the Agreement in order to determine whether the delivery of such articles or services should be withheld in the national interest of the United States. The reservation made by this Government in Article IV to withhold delivery of articles and services “whenever the President determines that such action is in the national interest” constitutes a broad power to cancel or revoke procurement programs or contracts. It is not possible to predict with precision what occasions or circumstances may arise in the future which may require this Government to withhold delivery. Actual delivery will always be subject to the development of the military situation, and the changing demands of strategy, as well as to economic and financial factors which affect the national interest of this Government.

The Government of the United States of America expects that all articles and services transferred to the Government of Belgium on or before February 28, 1945, pursuant to the exchange of notes between the Foreign Economic Administration and the Belgian Ambassador to the United States on October 20 and October 25, 1944, [11 [Not printed.]] will be paid for in United States dollars in accordance with the terms of those notes and any articles and services requisitioned in accordance with the provisions of those notes but transferred after February 28, 1945 will be regarded, if appropriate, as deliveries under the Schedule annexed to the Agreement.

The Government of the United States of America further wishes to point out that, in view of the existing economic and governmental relationships and arrangements between the Government of Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the fact that the Government of Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are employing their resources together in the prosecution of the war against the common enemy, it is understood that some of the articles, or an appropriate portion thereof, delivered under this Agreement are required for use or consumption within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and that the Government of Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will make such arrangements between them as may be needed to effectuate such use or consumption within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The Government of the United States of America therefore consents to the transfer by the Government of Belgium of 59 Stat. 1648 such articles, or an appropriate portion thereof, to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

It is further understood that the Government of Belgium will be obligated to pay currently for civilian supplies furnished by the combined military authorities under “Plan A” or “Plan A” as modified. Payment will be made in accordance with the arrangements to be made with the governments which have furnished the supplies, and in United States dollars to the extent determined under such arrangements.

It is, of course, understood that in the implementation of the provisions of any lend-lease agreement with the Government of Belgium, the Government of the United States of America will act in accordance with its Constitutional procedures.

 The Belgian Ambassador to the Secretary of State

Washington, April 17, 1945.

Sir:

Several questions of interpretation have arisen with respect to the

55 Stat. 32.

22 U. S. C., Supp; IV, § 412 (c).

Ante, p. 52.

language of the Agreement between our two Governments under Section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act. I believe it will be helpful to indicate the understanding which my Government now has with respect to these questions and I would appreciate an expression from you as to whether or not these understandings are correct.

1. It is the understanding of my Government that the Agreement does not apply to arms and munitions, and that arms and munitions now or hereafter provided to my Government will be supplied, on a

56 Stat. 1504.

 straight lend lease basis, under the Agreement of June 16, 1942 between our two Governments on the principles applying to mutual aid. 2. We understand that in general it is not the intention of the United

56 Stat. 1505.

 States Government to exercise its right under Article V of the Agreement between our two Governments dated June 16, 1942 to recapture any articles for which the Government of Belgium has paid or is to pay the United States Government. If however, the United States Government should exercise this right with respect to any such articles, appropriate arrangements will be made for repayment to the Government of Belgium. 3.

Ante, p. 1643.

 With reference to the last paragraph of Article III of the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act, it is the understanding of my Government that no articles or services will be transferred or rendered to my Government under that Article unless they have been requisitioned by my Government. 4.

Ante, p. 1643.

 In the first paragraph of Article IV of the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act, it is stated that changes may be made from time to time in the items set forth in the Schedule annexed 59 Stat. 1649 thereto, by mutual agreement between the United States of America and the Government of Belgium. It is our understanding that this language means that not only the items but also the values expressed for each item in the Schedule and the total value expressed for the whole Schedule, may be modified by mutual agreement. 5. With regard generally to the provisions of the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act with reference to risk of loss and transfer, as expressed in Section A of the Schedule annexed to the

Ante, p. 1644.

 Agreement, it is my understanding that a suitable opportunity will be given to representatives of my Government, in accordance with the general procedures of your Government, to inspect articles proposed to be transferred before their transfer. 6. With reference to the provision of the Schedule annexed to the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act that risk of loss shall pass in accordance with the customary practice of the United States Government with respect to transfers under the Act of Congress of March 11, 1941, it is the understanding of my Government

55 Stat. 31.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV., §§ 411–419.

Ante, p. 52.

 that under the practice referred to risk of loss usually passes when the articles leave the possession of the supplier or are withdrawn from United States Government stock. 7. With reference to the provision of Section A of the Schedule annexed to the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act that “those articles which, prior to the end of the periods authorized by law, shall have been contracted for by the United States Government and shall not have been transferred to the Government of Belgium as above set forth, shall be deemed to be transferred to the Government of Belgium upon the last day of such periods”, it is the understanding of my Government that the term “periods” refers to the period as now provided for by the last clause of section 3 (c) of the Lend Lease Act, or as such period may hereafter be extended by amendment of that Act, during which the powers conferred by or pursuant to Section 3 (a) of that Act may be exercised to the extent necessary to carry out a contract or agreement made under Section 3 (c) of that Act.

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

Ante, p. 52.

under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act which was signed by our Governments today, there is set forth the understanding of my Government that some of the articles to be delivered under the Agreement will be required for use or consumption within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and that the Government of Belgium and the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will make the necessary arrangements to effectuate such use or consumption within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

You will understand that if my Government should not be able to conclude arrangements with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg required by the Lend-Lease Act, my Government’s consent to future retransfers to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as expressed in the Memorandum accompanying the 3 (c) Agreement, will have to be qualified or revoked.

Washington, April 19th, 1945

My dear Mr. Secretary:

With reference to the Schedule attached to the Agreement between the United States of America and Belgium, under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, I note that the amount of $42,000,000.00 has been set for freight charges on American ocean vessels.

59 Stat. 1651

After discussion of this matter with the experts of the “Mission Economique Beige”, I feel that due to the fact that an important part of the supplies from United States to Belgium will be shipped on vessels that are not under American Registry, the amount of $42,000,000. seems far in excess of the freight payments which could possibly be made for transport on American ocean vessels.

Under Article IV of said Agreement, changes may be made from

Ante, p. 1643.

time to time in the items set forth in the Schedule annexed thereto. However, in connection with the conclusion of the Agreement, I should like to state, for the record, that if in the near future the estimate of the experts of the “Mission Economique Beige” proves to be correct, I will request a transfer of part of this amount to other items of the schedule.

The Government of the United States has the intention of treating each country in its individual relationship with the United States fairly and equitably in all matters pertaining to lend-lease and the general procurement of supplies in the United States. However, the United States does not consider it necessary that comparable arrangements in similar agreements between the United States and any other country should contain identical or equally favorable provisions. It is sufficient that the individual lend-lease arrangements established between the United States and each country shall be reasonable. The relatively temporary character of lend-lease, the numerous and dissimilar factors involved in the lend-lease relationships of the United States and the rapidly changing war situation compel this Government to retain freedom of action in negotiating individual lend-lease agreements.

Sincerely yours,

Joseph C. Grew Acting Secretary

His Excellency

Baron Robert Silvercruys

Belgian Ambassador.

 The Belgian Ambassador to the Secretary of State

ambassade de belgique

Washington, April 17, 1945.

Sir:

55 Stat. 1600.

In the United Nations declaration of January 1, 1942, the contracting governments pledged themselves to employ their full resources, military and economic, against those nations with which they are at war;

56 Stat. 1504.

 and in the Agreement of June 16, 1942, each contracting government undertook to provide the other with such articles, services, facilities or information useful in the prosecution of their common war undertaking as each may be in a position to supply. It is further the understanding of the Government of Belgium that the general principle to be followed in providing mutual aid as set forth in the said Agreement of June 16, 1942, is that the war production and the war 59 Stat. 1653 resources of both Nations should be used by the armed forces of each and of the other United Nations in ways which most effectively utilize the available materials, manpower, production facilities and shipping space.

With a view, therefore, to supplementing Article II and Article VI of the Agreement of June 16, 1942, between our two Governments

56 Stat. 1505.

for the provision of reciprocal aid, I have the honor to set forth the understanding of the Government of Belgium of the principles and procedures applicable to the provision of aid by the Government of Belgium to the armed forces of the United States and the manner in which such aid will be correlated with the maintenance of such forces by the United States Government.

1. The Government of Belgium, retaining the right of final decision in each case in the light of its own potentialities and responsibilities, will provide the United States or its armed forces with the following types of assistance as reciprocal aid when and to the extent that it is found that they can most effectively be procured in Belgium or the Belgian Congo: (a) Military equipment, munitions and military and naval stores; (b) Other supplies, materials, facilities, services and information for the United States forces including payment of those civil claims against the United States and its armed forces, employees and officers that shall be mutually agreed upon by the two Governments as a proper charge against the Belgian Government, but not including the pay and allowances of United forces, the wages and salaries of civilian officials of the United States Government and the administrative expenses of United States missions; (c) Supplies, materials and services needed in the construction of military projects, tasks and similar capital works required for the common war effort in Belgium or the Belgian Congo, except for the wages and salaries of United States citizens; (d) Supplies, materials and services needed in the construction of such military projects, tasks and capital works in territory other than Belgium or the Belgian Congo or territory of the United States to the extent that Belgium or the Belgian Congo is a more practicable source of supply than the United States or another of the United Nations; (e) Such other supplies, materials, facilities, services and information as may be agreed upon as necessary in the prosecution of the war. 2. The practical application of the principles formulated in this note, including the procedure by which requests for aid are made and acted upon, shall be worked out as occasion may require by agreement between the two governments, acting when possible through their appropriate military or civilian administrative authorities. Requests by the United States Government for such aid will be presented by duly authorized authorities of the United States to official agencies of the Belgian Government which will be designated or established 59 Stat. 1654 by the Government of Belgium for the purpose of facilitating the provision of reciprocal aid. 3. It is the understanding of the Government of Belgium that all such aid, as well, as other aid, including information received under

56 Stat. 1505.

 Article VI of the Agreement of June 16, 1942, accepted by the President of the United States or his authorized representatives from the Government of Belgium will be received as a benefit to the United

55 Stat. 31.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 411–419.

Ante, p. 52.

 States under the Act of March 11, 1941. Insofar as circumstances will permit, appropriate record of aid received under this arrangement, except for miscellaneous facilities and services, will be kept by each Government. 4.

In order to facilitate the procurement in Belgian metropolitan territory of supplies, materials, facilities, information and services described in Section 1, by permitting their direct purchase rather than their procurement by the methode contemplated in Section 2, during the period of military operations and until such time as the official agencies of the Belgian Government are able to provide such reciprocal aid in the manner contemplated in Section 2, the Government of Belgium agreed to make available to designated officers of the United States Government such Belgian franc currency or credits as may be needed for the purpose. The necessary arrangements will be made by the appropriate authorities of the two governments.

If the Government of the United States concurs in the foregoing, I would suggest that the present note and your reply to that effect be regarded as placing on record the understanding of our two governments in this matter and as superseding the exchange of notes of

57 Stat. 920.

January 30, 1943 on this subject, and that for clarity and convenience of administration the present note and your reply be made retroactive to June 16, 1942, the date of the Agreement of the two Governments on the principles of mutual aid.

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

Excellency:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of today’s concerning the principles and procedures applicable to the provision of aid by the Government of Belgium to the United States of America or its forces.

59 Stat. 1655

In reply I wish to inform you that the Government of the United States agrees with the understanding of the Government of Belgium as expressed in that note. It is also agreed that the exchange of notes of January 30, 1943 on this subject is hereby superseded by your present

57 Stat. 920.

note and this reply, both of which in accordance with the suggestion contained in your present note, will be regarded as placing on record the understanding between our two Governments in this matter.

This further integration and strengthening of our common war effort gives me great satisfaction.

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

E R Stettinius, Jr Secretary of State

His Excellency

Baron Robert Silvercruys

Belgian Ambassador.

 The Secretary of State to the Belgian Ambassador

Department of State Washington

April 17, 1945

My dear Mr. Ambassador:

You will recall that on January 30, 1943 Dean Acheson, Assistant Secretary of State, addressed a letter to the Belgian Ambassador with respect to the receipt by this Government as reciprocal aid of articles previously purchased abroad and imported into Belgian territory. In that letter Mr. Acheson stated that this Government does not expect the Belgian Government or the authorities in the Belgian Congo to furnish such articles to American forces as reciprocal aid and that, if such articles were furnished as reciprocal aid in emergency situations, this Government would be entirely agreeable to the principle that they should be replaced from the United States as soon as possible. Mr. Acheson further stated that American forces would not request or accept as reciprocal aid any such articles, the replacement of which was regarded by the Belgian Government as desirable, without specific authorization in each case from the War Department.

The exigencies of war have made strict compliance with this procedure impractical, and your Government has furnished such articles to this Government and its armed forces without compliance with this procedure. The quantity and value of the articles so furnished are not yet known and it is anticipated that considerable time may be required before mutual agreement can be reached as to the exact value of the articles to be replaced under the terms of Mr. Acheson’s letter.

At the time of Mr. Acheson’s letter no non-military supplies were being provided by my Government to your Government as straight lend-lease. Now, however, our two Governments have concluded an 59 Stat. 1656 agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, under which this Government will furnish non-military supplies as straight lend-lease aid to your Government to the extent provided therein.

I should therefore like to propose that the obligation in Mr. Acheson’s letter to replace articles provided as reciprocal aid which have previously been purchased abroad and imported into Belgian territory should not apply to articles hereafter made available to this Government as reciprocal aid.

With respect to such articles transferred as reciprocal aid by the Government of Belgium to the United States or its armed forces prior to the date of the signing of the Agreement under Section 3 (c) of the Lend-Lease Act, I should like to propose that final action with respect to replacement be deferred until the final determination of the terms and conditions upon which mutual aid has been provided and received by the two Governments in accordance with the terms

56 Stat. 1504.

of the Agreement of June 16, 1942 with respect to the principles applying to mutual aid. At the time such a final determination is reached, and the full extent of the aid furnished by the United States and the reciprocal aid furnished by the Government of Belgium becomes known, the United States will make such replacement in accordance with the principles expressed in Mr. Acheson’s letter to any extent then mutually agreed upon between the two Governments as just and equitable.

Sincerely yours,

E R Stettinius, Jr

His Excellency

Baron Robert Silvercruys

Belgian Ambassador.

No. 2368

Washington, April 19, 1945

My dear Mr. Secretary:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated

Ante, p. 1655.

April 17th, 1945, forwarding certain proposals made with reference to the commitments taken by the United States Government and embodied in Mr. Dean Acheson’s letter of January 30th, 1943.

As you will recall, at that time the Belgian Congo was the only territory under Belgian jurisdiction where reciprocal aid could be made effective. The terms of Mr. Acheson’s letter refer accurately to the situation prevailing in the Belgian Colony, where almost every manufactured article was purchased abroad and imported with considerable difficulty. It was not considered desirable that American forces should procure such articles without a reasonable assurance being given that they would be replaced.

Quite different is the situation in the highly industrialized Belgian 59 Stat. 1657 metropolitan territory, which is largely dependent on imports of raw materials and where procurement from the almost depleted stocks of locally produced goods would generally necessitate their replacement by importation of the raw materials needed in their manufacture.

In order to deal with this possibility, which in our view amounts to the extension of aid not within the scope of the Reciprocal Aid Agreement between Belgium and the United States, negotiations were undertaken in Washington between the Department of State and the Belgian Embassy. On October 16th, 1944 a draft amendment to the letter of the Belgian Ambassador dated January 30th, 1943 was submitted by the Department of State to the Belgian Embassy. Paragraph III, which was tentatively agreed upon at that time, expressed in the following terms the intentions of the two interested parties concerning the special situation likely to arise in Belgium.

“In view of the shortages prevailing in Belgium, the Government of Belgium regrets that it will not be in a position to provide as reciprocal aid under Section 1 any supplies or materials (except for component parts or component materials) which require current replacement by purchases involving the use of foreign exchange from sources outside of Belgium or the Belgian Congo. The Government of Belgium, therefore, requests assurances that the Government of the United States will undertake at its option either to replace or to refund in dollars the cost of any such supplies or materials which have been either requisitioned in the manner contemplated in Section 2, or purchased with the currency made available under the terms of Section 4, wherever the quantity involved is appreciable from the point of view of the dollar exchange required for replacements.”

Although no formal agreement was ever concluded on this subject, the Belgian authorities in charge of Reverse Lend-Lease Administration operated on the assumption that such was the understanding and furnished to the Allied Armies supplies, the replacement of which would call for imports from abroad.

While accepting your proposal that final action with respect to replacement be deferred, I wish to place the foregoing on record and to state that the Belgian Government may request that consideration be given to the matters mentioned above, in the final determination of the terms and conditions upon which mutual aid has been provided.

Sincerely yours,

The Belgian Ambassador, Silvercruys

Pursuant to the aforementioned arrangement of 1933, the two governments hereby conclude the following arrangement covering the operation of scheduled airline services between their respective territories, based on the standard form of agreement for air routes and services included in the Final Act of the International Civil Aviation

When these authorities mutually agree on new or revised conditions affecting the Annex, their recommendations on the matter will come into effect after they have been confirmed by an exchange of diplomatic notes.
Article 10

Termination of agreement.

[E. A. S. 483]

 Agreement between the United States of America and the French Committee of National Liberation respecting mutual aid in French North and West Africa. Signed at Algiers September 25, 1943; effective September 25, 1943.
MODUS VIVENDI ON RECIPROCAL AID IN FRENCH NORTH AND WEST AFRICA

The Government of the United States and the French Committee of National Liberation desirous of lending each other the reciprocal aid necessary to the prosecution of the joint war effort are agreed upon the following provisional Modus Vivendi which will, following signature, be applicable in French North and West Africa:

I —

U. S. supplies and services to France.

 With reference to supplies and services urgently needed to maintain the French war effort, which the United States has furnished to the French authorities and will continue to furnish, within limitations of need and supply, it is understood that: a) Military aid, including supplies for railroads, docks, public utilities and other facilities to the extent that such supplies are determined to be military aid is made available on a straight Lend-Lease basis, in the light of the considerations set forth in Paragraph V. Such aid does not include the pay and allowances of French forces. The United States reserves the right to require the return of any articles furnished under this paragraph and not lost, destroyed or consumed, (i) — if at any time it is decided that such restitution would be an advantage in the conduct of the war, or (ii) — if at the end of the present emergency as determined by the President of the United States, the President shall determine that such articles are useful in the defense of the United States or of the Western Hemisphere, or to be otherwise of use to the United States. b) For all civilian supplies imported from the United States, the French authorities will pay upon the basis of prices to be agreed. Payment will be made, currently at convenient intervals, in dollars, to an appropriately designated account in the United States. c) The distinction between civilian and military aid, supplies and services, where such distinction may be necessary, will be made by agreement. d) All aid furnished under Paragraph I (a) and I (b) will be made available by the United States under the authority and subject to the terms and conditions provided for in the Act of Congress 59 Stat. 1667 of March 11, 1941, as amended (P.L, 11, 77th Congress, 1st

55 Stat. 31.

22 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 411–419.

 Session). II — With reference to supplies and services urgently needed to maintain

French supplies and services to U. S.

 the United States war effort, which the French authorities have furnished to the United States and will continue to furnish, within limitations of need and supply, it is understood that: a) The French authorities undertake to make available to or for the use of the armed forces and other governmental agencies of the United States, as reverse Lend-Lease aid to the United States, on a straight Lend-Lease basis, when it is found that such aid can most effectively be procured in territory under their control, (i) — military equipment, munitions, and military and naval stores; (ii) — other supplies, materials, facilities and services for United States forces, including the use of railway and port facilities, but not including the pay and allowances of such forces nor the administrative expenses of American missions; (iii) — supplies, materials, facilities and services, except for the wages and salaries of United States citizens, needed in the construction of military projects, tasks and similar capital works required in the common war effort, to the extent that French North or West Africa is the most practicable source of such supplies, materials, facilities or services; (iv) — such other supplies, materials, services or facilities as may be agreed upon as necessary in the prosecution of the war, but not including exports of civilian supplies to the United States from North and West Africa.

While the French authorities retain, of course, the right of final decision, subject to the obligations and arrangements they have entered into for the prosecution of the war, decisions as to the most effective use of resources shall, so far as possible, be made in common, pursuant to common plans for winning the war.

 b) All civilian supplies exported from French North and West Africa to the United States will be paid for on the basis of prices to be agreed. Payment will be made currently, at convenient intervals, in dollars, to an appropriate designated account in the United States. c) The distinction between civilian and military aid, supplies and services, where such distinction may be necessary, will be made by agreement. d) In order to obtain the supplies and services included within the scope of Paragraph II (a), duly authorized United States officers or other officials will submit their requests to the official services duly designated by the French authorities. These services will be established in Algiers, Casablanca, Oran, Tunis, Dakar, and other places where it may be found practicable and convenient 59 Stat. 1668 to establish organizations for facilitating the transfer of reciprocal aid. e) For use in those exceptional cases, and particularly in cases of local procurement of supplies, in which it is agreed to be more practicable to secure such reverse Lend-Lease supplies, facilities and services by direct purchase, rather than by the method of procurement set forth in Paragraph II (b), it is agreed that the French authorities establish a franc account in convenient banking institutions and in the name of a designated officer of the United States to facilitate the provision of reverse Lend-Lease aid as contemplated by Paragraph II (a). The French contributions to this account will be mutually agreed upon from time to time in the light of the changing needs of the American forces, and other appropriate factors. Such an account will not be used for the payment of wages and salaries of American military or civilian personnel, nor for administrative expenses of American missions. Estimates of the franc requirements of the United States will be submitted to designated French authorities from time to time, as may be found convenient. The French authorities will be kept fully and currently informed of all transactions in this account. III — In exceptional cases, and when they deem it preferable, the American military forces, or other agencies of the United States Government, may continue to use their present practice of acquiring francs against dollars from the French authorities. IV —

Statistical records.

 Adequate statistical records will be kept of all goods and services exchanged as mutual aid under paragraphs I and II above. V — The provisions of this modus vivendi correspond to a desire to reduce to an appropriate minimum the need of either party for currency of the other party. Provisions which call for payments in dollars have been decided upon in view of the special situation arising from accumulated dollar balances and availabilities of dollar funds due to the presence of United States troops in French North and West Africa. Revision of the payment provisions of this modus vivendi will be made should the situation require.

EN AFRIQUR DU NORD
ET EN AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE FRANCAISES 59 Stat. 1670

Le Comité Français de la Libération Nationale et le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis, désireux de se prêter mutuellement l’aide réciproque nécessaire à la poursuite de leur effort de guerre commun, sont convenus du présent modus vivendi provisoire qui sera applicable, dès sa signature, en Afrique du Nord et en Afrique Occidentale Françaises.

1° — Les Etats-Unis ont fourni et continueront à fournir aux autorités françaises, dans la limite des besoins et des disponibilités, le matériel et les services qui leur seraient indiepensables pour soutenir l’effort de guerre français, dans les conditions ci-dessous définies: a) L’aide militaire, y compris les fournitures destinées aux chemins de fer, docks, services publics et autres facilités, dans la limite où ces fournitures sont considérées comme étant une aide militaire, est accordée sur une base purement prêt-bail, conformément aux considérations exprimées au paragraphe 5 ci-dessous. Cette aide ne comprend pas la solde et les indemnités des troupes françaises. Les Etats-Unis se réservent le droit de demander la restitution de tous les articles livrés en vertu du présent paragraphe, qui n’auront pas été perdus, détériorés ou consommés: i) s’il est convenu à tout moment que cette restitution est avantageuse à la conduite de la guerre; ou bien: ii) si, à la fin du présent état d’alerte, tel qu’il sera défini par le Président des Etats-Unis, le Président décide que ces articles sont utiles pour la défense des Etats-Unis ou de l’hémisphère occidental ou pour tout autre objet intéressant les Etats-Unis. b) Toutes les fournitures civiles importées des Etats-Unis seront payées par les autorités françaises sur la base des prix qui seront convenus par accord mutuel. Le paiement en sera fait au fur et à mesure, à des intervalles convenables, en dollars, à un compte à désigner à cet effet aux Etats-Unis. La distinction entre le caractère civil ou militaire de l’aide, des services ou des fournitures sera faite d’un commun accord, chaque fois qu’il sera nécessaire. d) Toute aide fournie en vertu des paragraphes 1 (a) et 1 (b) sera accordée par les Etats-Unis en vertu de l’acte du Congrès du 11 Mars 1941 (modifié) et selon les termes et conditions qui y sont stipulés. 2° — Les Autorités françaises ont fourni et continueront à fournir aux Etats-Unis, dans la limite des besoins et disponibilités, les marchandises et les services qui leur seraient indispensables pour soutenir l’effort de guerre, dans les conditions ci-dessous définies: 59 Stat. 1671 a) Les Autorités françaises s’engagent à mettre à la disposition des Forces armées et autres organismes gouvernementaux des Etats-Unis, à titre d’aide réciproque, sur une base purement prêt-bail, lorsqu’il apparaîtra que cette aide peut être obtenue de la manière la plus pratique dans les territoires sous leur contrôle: 1° — du matériel militaire, des munitions, des approvisionnements militaires et navals; 2° — les autres fournitures, marchandises, facilités et services à l’usage des Forces armées américaines, y compris l’utilisation des chemins de fer et installations portuaires, sans toutefois prendre à leur charge les soldes et indemnités de ces Forces et les dépenses administratives des Missions américaines; 3° — les fournitures, marchandises, facilités et services, sans toutefois prendre à leur charge les gages et soldes des citoyens américains, nécessaires pour la réalisation matérielle des projets et autres travaux militaires importants nécessaires en vue de poursuivre l’effort de guerre commun, dans la mesure où l’Afrique du Nord et l’A.O.F. sont la source la plus commode pour obtenir ces fournitures, marchandises, services ou facilités; 4° — les autres fournitures, marchandises, services ou facilités qui seront reconnus comme nécessaires pour la conduite de la guerre, à l’exception des fournitures civiles exportées de l’Afrique du Nord ou de l’A.O.F. vers les Etats-Unis. Quoique les autorités françaises conservent, bien entendu, le droit de décision finale, sous réserve des obligations et conventions qu’elles ont contractées pour la poursuite de la guerre, les décisions relatives à l’emploi le plus efficace des ressources seront, dans la mesure du possible, prises en commun, conformément au plan commun pour gagner la guerre. b) Les fournitures civiles exportées de l’Afrique du Nord et de l’A.O.F. vers les Etats-Unis seront payées à des prix convenus d’un commun accord, le paiement en étant fait par les Autorités américaines aux Autorités françaises, en dollars, périodiquement, à un compte à désigner aux Etats-Unis. c) La distinction entre le caractère civil ou militaire de l’aide, des services ou des fournitures, sera faite d’un commun accord et chaque fois qu’il sera nécessaire. d) Pour obtenir les fournitures et services rentrant dans le cadre du paragraphe 2 (a) les officiers ou les fonctionnaires américains dûment habilités adresseront leur demande aux Services officiels dûment désignés par les autorités françaises. Ces services seront institués à Alger, Casablanca, Oran, Tunis, Dakar et autres endroits où il sera jugé utile et possible de mettre sur pied des organismes destinés à faciliter l’échange de l’aide réciproque. e) A titre exceptionnel, particulièrement dans le cas d’achats locaux de fournitures, lorsqu’il sera reconnu préférable d’un commun accord que les Services compétents du Gouvernement des Etats-Unis se 59 Stat. 1672 procurent au titre Prêt-Bail des fournitures, ainsi que des facilités et services par voie d’achats directs, plutôt que par la méthode décrite au paragraphe 2 (a), les Autorités françaises ouvriront un comptefrancs dans les Etablissements bancaires au nom d’un officier des Etats-Unis désigné à cet effet, pour faciliter le fonctionnement de l’aide réciproque comme prévu au paragraphe 2 (a). Les versements français à ce compte seront fixés d’un commun accord, compte tenu des besoins des Forces américaines et autres facteurs à prendre en considération. Ce compte ne sera pas utilisé pour le règlement des gages et salaires du personnel américain civil et militaire, ni pour les dépenses administratives des missions américaines. Les estimations des besoins en francs des Etats-Unis seront soumises périodiquement aux autorités françaises compétentes; les autorités françaises seront tenues au courant, d’une manière complète et régulière, de toutes les dépenses faites sur ce compte. 3° — A titre exceptionnel, et lorsqu’elles l’estimeront préférable, les Forces armées américaines ou autres services du Gouvernement des Etats-Unis pourront, comme ils le font actuellement, acheter aux autorités françaises des francs contre des dollars. 4° — Il sera tenu une statistique adéquate de toutes les fournitures et services échangés à titre d’aide réciproque, conformément aux paragraphes 1 et 2 ci-dessus. 5° — Les clauses du présent modus vivendi répondent à l’intention de réduire à un minimum approprié les besoins de chacune des deux parties dans la monnaie de l’autre.

Les clauses qui se traduisent par des paiements en dollars ont été prises compte tenu de la situation particulière résultant des soldes et des disponibilités en dollars qui ont été accumulées par suite de la présence des troupes américaines en Afrique du Nord et en A. O. F.; les clauses de paiement seront révisées si la situation le rend nécessaire.

Santiago, 11 de Mayo de 1943. —

Señor Embajador:

Tengo el honor de acusar recibo de la atenta comunicación N° 2021, de fecha 5 de los corrientes, por medio de la cual Vuestra Excelencia tiene a bien proponer al Gobierno de Chile la realización de un programa cooperativo de Salubridad y Saneamiento, para lo cual el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos proporcionaria, por intermedio de la Oficina del Coordinador de los Asuntos Interamericanos, hasta la suma de cinco millones de dollars (US$ 5.000.000) y la cooperación de los técnicos que se estime necesaria. —

El Ministro infrascrito agradece y acepta la colaboración ofrecida, en el entendido de que los detalles de esta proposición general serán materia de acuerdos entre el funcionario pertinente de la Oficina del Coordinador de los Asuntos Interamericanos y el Director General de Sanidad, en su calidad de representante del Servicio Nacional de Salubridad de Chile, a quien le corresponde, de conformidad con nuestra legislation, proponer al Gobierno la forma de resolver nuestros problemas de salubridad y realizar las labores respectivas. —

Efectivamente, la Constitución Politica entrega al Servicio Nacional de Salubridad el cuidado de velar por la salud pública y el bienestar higénico del país y, el Código Sanitario, en su Artículo 4°, dispone que este Servicio estará a cargo del Director General de Sanidad, quien ejercerá sus funciones de conformidad con las facultades y deberes que las leyes le senalan, con exclusion de cualquiera otra autoridad.

59 Stat. 1680

Por otra parte, el mismo Código, en su Artículo 269, autoriza a este Servicio para recibir y administrar donaciones, con objeto de aplicarlas a fines de Salubridad Pública. —

Como Vuestra Excelencia lo expresa, todos los proyectos que se completen en la prosecución de este programa serán de propiedad del Gobierno de Chile. —

En consecuencia, me permito rogar a Vuestra Excelencia que se sirva informar al Señor Representante de la Oficina del Coordinador de los Asuntos Interamericanos, que puede entenderse con el Director General de Sanidad, quien posee la personeria necesaria para concertar los acuerdos respecto al procedimiento y demás detalles relacionados con la realization del programa cooperativo de Salubridad y Saneamiento, y a las inversiones de los fondos en referenda, en la inteligencia de que el Supremo Gobierno aprobará, lo obrado por él. —

El Supremo Gobierno dará las facilidades necesarias para la organización del Departamento especial en el Servicio Nacional de Salubridad, a que Vuestra Excelencia se refiere y aportará, también, una suma que oportunamente se determinará para financiar el plan de obras de salubridad que se acuerde.

Finalmente, el infrascrito se permite sugerir a Vuestra Excelencia la conveniencia de indicar a este Ministerio el nombre del funcionario que representaria al Coordinador de los Asuntos Interamericanos y los poderos con que actuará, para los fines consiguientes.—

Me valgo de la presente oportunidad para reiterar a Vuestra Excelencia las seguridades de mi más alta y distinguida consideración.—

Santiago, May 11, 1943

Mr. Ambassador:

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your courteous communication

Ante, p. 1678.

No. 2021, dated the fifth instant, by which Your Excellency proposes to the Government of Chile the carrying out of a cooperative program of health and sanitation, for which the United States Government would contribute, through the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, up to the sum of five million dollars (U.S. $5,000,000) and the cooperation of such experts as may be deemed necessary.

59 Stat. 1681

The undersigned Minister appreciates and accepts the cooperation offered, with the understanding that the details of this general proposal will be the subject of agreements between the appropriate official of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and the Director General of Health, in his capacity as representative of the National Health Service of Chile, on whom it is incumbent, in accordance with our legislation, to propose to the Government the manner of solving our health problems and to carry out the corresponding works.

As a matter of fact, the political Constitution entrusts to the National Health Service the care of the public health and sanitary welfare of the country, and the Sanitary Code provides, in Article 4, that this Service shall be under the Director General of Health, who will exercise his functions in accordance with the powers and duties which the laws assign to him, to the exclusion of any other authority.

Furthermore, the same Code, in its Article 269, authorizes this Service to receive and administer donations with the object of applying them to public health purposes.

As Your Excellency states, all the projects completed in the execution of this program shall be the property of the Government of Chile.

Consequently, I beg to ask that Your Excellency be so kind as to inform the representative of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter- American Affairs that he may deal with the Director General of Health, who has the necessary capacity to conclude agreements with respect to procedure and other details connected with the prosecution of the cooperative program of health and sanitation and to the investment of the funds in question, with the understanding that the Supreme Government will approve his acts.

The Supreme Government will provide the necessary facilities for the organization of the special Department in the National Health Service, to which Your Excellency refers, and will also contribute an amount to be determined in due course for financing such plan of sanitation works as may be agreed upon.

Finally, the undersigned begs to suggest to Your Excellency the desirability of indicating to this Ministry the name of the official who would represent the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and the powers with which he will act for the desired purposes.

I avail myself of the present opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration.

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to the arrangement made between the Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the United States by which, in conformity with the provisions of Public Law 704

56 Stat. 746.

34 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 1159–1166.

enacted by the Seventy-seventh Congress of the United States and approved August 18, 1942, [1]1[See also proclamation of November 28, 1943 (57 Stat. 761).] the courts of the United States were permitted to exercise jurisdiction over prizes taken by United States armed forces and brought into the territorial waters of the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone. A copy of the Act in question is enclosed for your convenient reference. The consent of the Government of the United Kingdom to this arrangement was notified to this Embassy by a note (No. W 13225/279/49) dated November 3, 1942. [2]2[Not printed.]

My Government now desires to obtain the consent of the Government of India to a similar arrangement with respect to prizes taken by United States armed forces and brought into the territorial jurisdiction of the Government of India. Permission is desired for special prize commissioners appointed by the district courts of the United States to exercise in India 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 Public Law 704. The duties of prize commissioners are set out in Title 34, U.S.C., Section 1138, which reads as follows:

“S 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 59 Stat. 1710 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.”

56 Stat. 746, 747.

34 U. S. C., Supp. IV, §§ 1161, 1165.

My Government, upon the receipt from the Government of India of the consent required by Section 3 of Public Law 704, will take appropriate measures in accordance with Section 7 of the same Act to confer reciprocal privileges upon the Government of India with respect to prizes.

I shall be grateful if you will inform the Government of India of my Government’s desire and request, on my Government’s behalf, the necessary consent to the exercise of such powers by United States courts and by special prize commissioners appointed by them within the territorial jurisdiction of the Government of India

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

I have the honor to inform Your Excellency, with reference to our conversations on the subject, that the Government of the United States agrees to constitute, in cooperation with the Government of the United Kingdom, a joint Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry with the following terms of reference.

1. To examine political, economic and social conditions in Palestine as they bear upon the problem of Jewish immigration and settlement therein and the well-being of the peoples now living therein; 2. To examine the position of the Jews in those countries in Europe where they have been the victims of Nazi and Fascist persecution, and the practical measures taken or contemplated to be taken in those countries to enable them to live free from discrimination and oppression and to make estimates of those who wish or will be impelled by their conditions to migrate to Palestine or other countries outside Europe; 3. To hear the views of competent witnesses and to consult representative Arabs and Jews on the problems of Palestine as such problems are affected by conditions subject to examination under paragraphs 1 and 2 above and by other relevant facts and circumstances, and to make recommendations to the Governments of the United States and of the United Kingdom for ad interim handling of these problems as well as for their permanent solution; and 4. To make such other recommendations to the Governments of the United States and of the United Kingdom as may be necessary to meet the immediate needs arising from conditions subject to examination under paragraph 2 above, by remedial action in the European countries in question or by the provision of facilities for emigration to and settlement in countries outside Europe.

The Committee should be composed of six nationals of the United States, appointed by the Government of the United States, and six nationals of the United Kingdom, appointed by the Government of the United Kingdom, and shall operate under a rotating chairmanship.

The Governments of the United States and of the United Kingdom 59 Stat. 1730 shall urge on the Committee the need for the utmost expedition in dealing with the subjects committed to it for investigation and shall request that they may be furnished with its report within 120 days of the inception of the inquiry.

The procedure of the Committee shall be determined by the Committee itself and it will be open to it, if it thinks fit, to deal simultaneously through the medium of subcommittees, with any of the subjects entrusted to its consideration.

Each Government shall be responsible for compensating its own members of the Committee and other personnel selected by it and for paying such other expenses as are not susceptible of being jointly shared by the two Governments. All other expenses of the Committee shall be borne jointly by both Governments in equal proportions.

[seal] AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN EUROPEAN CENTRAL INLAND TRANSPORT ORGANISATION Whereas, upon the liberation of the territories of the United Nations in Europe, and upon the occupation of the territories of the enemy in Europe, it is expedient for the fulfilment of the common military needs of the United Nations and in the interests of the social and economic progress of Europe, to provide for co-ordination both in the movement of traffic and in the allocation of transport equipment and material with a view to ensuring the best possible movement of supplies both for military forces and the civil population and the speedy repatriation of displaced persons, and also with a view to creating conditions in which the normal movement of traffic can be more rapidly resumed;

The Governments whose duly authorised representatives have signed the present Agreement

Have agreed as follows:—

Article I

Ante, p. 1362.

 There is hereby established the European Central Inland Transport Organisation, hereinafter called “the Organisation,” which shall act in accordance with the provisions of the following Articles. The Organisation is established as a co-ordinating and consultative organ. Having regard to the successful completion of the war, it shall coordinate efforts to utilise all means of transport for the improvement of communications so as to provide for the restoration of normal conditions of economic life. It shall also provide assistance to the Allied Commanders-in-Chief and to the Occupation Authorities set up by Governments of the United Nations to maintain and improve the carrying capacity of transport.
Article II. — Membership. The members of the Organisation shall be the Governments signatory hereto and such other Governments as may be admitted thereto by the Council.
Article III. — Constitution. 1. The Organisation shall consist of a Council and an Executive Board with the necessary headquarters, regional and local staff. The 59 Stat. 1741 Organisation shall concert arrangements for the establishment of regional and local offices with the Member Governments in whose territory the offices are situated and/or in appropriate cases in agreement with the Allied Commander-in-Chief concerned. The Council. 2. Each member Government shall name one representative and such alternates as may be necessary upon the Council. The Council shall, for each of its sessions, select one of its members to preside. The Council shall determine its own rules of procedure. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or by action of the Council, the Council shall vote by simple majority. 3. The Council shall be convened in regular session not less than twice a year by the Executive Board. It may be convened in special session whenever the Executive Board shall deem necessary and shall be convened within thirty days after request by one-third of the members of the Council. 4. The Council shall perform the functions assigned to it under this Agreement and review the work of the Organisation generally to ensure its conformity with the broad policies determined by the Council. The Executive Board. 5. The Executive Board shall consist of seven members who shall be appointed by the Council. These seven members shall include one member nominated by each of the following Governments: the Provisional Government of the French Republic and the Governments of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America. Each member of the Executive Board shall be provided with an alternate similarly selected, who shall act only in the absence of the member of the Executive for whom he is the alternate. The members and their alternates shall be appointed for not longer than one year. The Executive Board shall choose its own Chairman, subject to confirmation by the Council. 6. The Executive Board shall perform the executive functions assigned to the Organisation within the framework of the broad policies determined by the Council. It shall act in accordance with the ruling of the majority of its members. It shall present to the Council such reports on the performance of its functions as the Council may require. 7.

This officer shall appoint the staff at headquarters and at regional and local offices, subject to the approval of the Executive Board, taking into account the exigencies of the various branches of transport concerned. The responsibilities of the chief officer and staff shall be exclusively international in character. 59 Stat. 1742 8. Each member Government shall appoint one or more representatives for the purpose of consultation and communication with the Executive Board, and with the Chief Officer. Such representatives shall be fully informed by the Board and by the Chief Officer of all activities of the Organisation.

Article IV. 1. The Organisation shall have the capacity to perform any legal act appropriate to its object and purposes, including the power to acquire, hold and convey property, to enter into contracts and undertake obligations, to designate or create subordinate organs and to review their activity. The Organisation shall not, however, have power to own transport equipment and material other than for its own internal or demonstration purposes, except with the unanimous consent of the Council. 2. These powers are vested in the Council. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article V, the Council may delegate such of these powers as it may deem necessary to the Executive Board, including the power of subdelegation. The Executive Board shall be responsible to the Council for the upkeep and administration of any property owned by the Organisation.

Each member Government undertakes, subject to the requirements of its constitutional procedure, promptly to contribute to the Organisation, in such currency or currencies as may be agreed by such Government with the Executive Board, its share of these expenses. Each member Government shall also provide such facilities as are required for the transfer into other currencies of sums so contributed and held by the Organisation in that Government’s own currency. 2. The Organisation shall not incur any expenses, other than administrative expenses, except under the authority of the Council. Proposals for such expenses shall be submitted by the Executive Board to the Council and, when approved by the Council, such expenses shall be met by contributions which one or more member Governments may agree to make or in such other manner as may be agreed between member Governments. However, the obligation of transfer into foreign currencies, as defined in paragraph 1 of this Article, does not apply to these contributions. 59 Stat. 1743 3. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any member Government or transport administration under its authority to perform services without remuneration.
Article VI. — Scope of the Organisation. 1. The Organisation shall, after giving notice of its intention, exercise its functions in any territory in Continental Europe, upon the acceptance of this Agreement by the Government of that territory and/or, in appropriate cases, provided that the Allied Commander-in-Chief concerned is satisfied that military exigencies permit and subject to such conditions as he may deem necessary. 2. In respect of any territory in Continental Europe in which any Allied Commander-in-Chief retains responsibility for the direction of the transport system, the Organisation shall on request give advice or assistance to the Allied Commander-in-Chief, and, in consultation with him, to any member Government or to other appropriate authorities of the United Nations, on any question with which it is empowered to deal under Article VII. 3. The Organisation shall treat with any of the Occupation Authorities set up by Governments of the United Nations in respect of any territory in Continental Europe in which such Occupation Authorities are exercising authority.
Article VII. — Executive Functions of the Organisation. Introductory. 1. The Organisation shall carry out thorough studies of the technical and economic conditions affecting traffic of an international character and shall give to the Governments concerned with such traffic technical advice and recommendations directed to restoring and increasing the carrying capacity of the transport systems in Continental Europe and to co-ordinating the movement of traffic of common concern on these systems. 2. In case of any member Government meets with difficulties in carrying out these recommendations owing to reasons of a material or economic character, the Organisation shall investigate with member Governments concerned means of practical help. Information on Transport Equipment and Material. 3. The Organisation shall receive and collect information concerning the requirements of transport equipment and material for Continental Europe. Realisation of Requirements for Transport Equipment and material. 4. The Organisation shall assist the realisation of requirements of any member Government in Continental Europe for transport equipment and material. Allocation and Distribution for Use of Transport Equipment and Material. 5. The Organisation shall, within the framework of the priorities determined by the appropriate authorities of the United Nations, de59 Stat. 1744termine the allocation, or distribution for use, to Governments in Continental Europe, on such conditions as it may deem necessary, of such transport equipment and material as may be made available for this purpose by the Allied Commanders-in-Chief, by Occupation Authorities, or by agencies of any one or more of the United Nations. To enable the Organisation to carry out this function effectively, it may consult with the Governments concerned on their export possibilities of, and import needs of, transport equipment and material for Continental Europe and will receive from such Governments notification of all arrangements made in respect thereto of which they have notice. Arrangements to make Mobile Transport Equipment and Material available. 6. In cases where temporary emergency requirements of mobile transport equipment for carrying traffic of common concern arise and the usual arrangements for the interchange of such mobile transport equipment are inadequate, the Organisation shall arrange with member Governments concerned to make available mobile transport equipment for the purpose of meeting such requirements. Such mobile transport equipment shall be made available under arrangements made between the member Governments concerned, with the assistance of the Organisation. Census of Transport Equipment and Material. 7. The Organisation shall at the earliest practicable time arrange through the member Governments for a census of rolling-stock in Continental Europe and of such other transport equipment and material there as may appear necessary for the proper discharge of its functions.

Should any difficulties of identification arise, the Organisation shall arrange immediately for such special measures to be taken as may be necessary to meet them. Where such restoration would unduly prejudice the operation of essential transport, the Organisation shall work out agreements with the Governments concerned for the temporary use of transport equipment pending its restoration. The arrangements for restoration shall be made on the basis of the ownership of the property which existed before any territorial changes in Europe, resulting from Axis policy, and in accordance with any general policies which may be determined by the appropriate authorities of the United Nations regarding restoration and restitution of the property removed by the enemy. Traffic. 9. The Organisation may make such recommendations to the appropriate authorities as it deems necessary with respect to the 59 Stat. 1745 method of carrying out projected movements of traffic of common concern, having regard to the transport facilities available for the movement of such traffic. 10. The Organisation shall make recommendations to the Governments concerned in order to ensure the movement of traffic of common concern on all routes of transport in Continental Europe in accordance with the priorities determined by the appropriate authorities of the United Nations. In respect of traffic of military importance sponsored by the Allied Commanders-in-Chief, the appropriate authority for this purpose will be the Allied Commander-in-Chief concerned. Charges. 11. The Organisation may work out the unification of tariffs, terms and conditions of transport and the like, applicable to traffic of an international character. It shall recommend to the Governments concerned the principles by which reasonable transport charges for traffic of common concern in Continental Europe should be fixed by them in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 9 of Article

Post, p. 1748.

 VIII. This paragraph shall not apply to military traffic under the control of any Allied Commander-in-Chief except at his request. Rehabilitation of Transport Systems. 12. The Organisation may study the conditions of transport affecting traffic of an international character in individual countries and make recommendations to the Governments concerned as to technical measures directed to the quickest restoration of transport facilities and their most effective use, and as to the priority in which works or projects in respect of the restoration or improvement of transport facilities shall be carried out. Operation of Transport 13. While it remains the task of each member Government to provide for the efficient operation of the transport systems in Continental Europe for which it is responsible, the Organisation may exceptionally, at the request of any member Government, give any assistance in its power in the rehabilitation or operation of transport in any territory in Continental Europe under the authority of such Government on such conditions as may be agreed between it and the Organisation, having due regard to the rights of other member Governments. Co-ordination of European Transport. 14. The Organisation shall work out and co-ordinate common action to secure the inauguration, maintenance, modification, resumption or, where appropriate, suppression, of international arrangements for through working of railways and exchange of rolling-stock of the Continental European countries for carrying out international transport. In particular, it shall ensure a unified clearing system for traffic operations between the different countries in Continental Europe. In general, it shall promote where necessary the establishment of appropriate machinery for co-operation between railway administrations. 59 Stat. 1746 15. The organisation shall place its services at the disposal of member Governments and make recommendations with a view to ensuring the most efficient movement of international traffic on waterways. It shall not, however, make recommendations with regard to questions concerning the régimes of the international inland waterways of Continental Europe. 16. The Organisation shall take through the Governments concerned such steps as may be practicable to facilitate international traffic of common concern in lorries and other road vehicles and the co-ordination of road and other means of transport with a view to ensuring the movement of international traffic. 17. In carrying out the functions mentioned in paragraphs 14 and 16 of this Article and in placing its services at the disposal of member Governments as described in paragraph 15 of this Article, the Organisation shall make use, to the extent practicable, of conventions in force between member Governments so as to obtain the greatest benefit therefrom for the fulfilment of this task, provided that the Organisation shall act — (a) in accordance with any general policies which may be determined by the appropriate authorities of the United Nations; and (b) with due respect for existing rights and obligations. 18. The Organisation shall make recommendations to the Governments concerned designed to promote adequate co-ordination of all European transport for the fulfilment of the common military needs of the United Nations or in the interests of traffic of an international character. Relations with other Agencies. 19. The Organisation shall co-operate as may be required with the appropriate authorities and agencies of any one or more of the United Nations and with international organisations. 20. The Organisation shall provide all possible assistance to the Allied Commanders-in-Chief in meeting their needs for transport facilities and improving the use of these facilities for the successful fulfilment of military requirements. 21.

Considérant qu’il est opportun, lors de la libération des territoires des Nations Unies en Europe et de l’occupation des territoires ennemis en Europe, en vue de satisfaire aux besoins militaires communs des Nations Unies et dans l’intérêt du progrès social et économique de l’Europe, de concerter l’action des autorités compétentes en matière de mouvement du trafic et de fourniture de moyens de transport et de matériel et

Estimant qu’ainsi le transport du ravitaillement destiné tant aux armées alliées qu’aux populations civiles sera amélioré autant que possible; que le retour rapide des personnes à rapatrier sera facilité; enfin, que le mouvement normal du trafic pourra être plus rapidement repris,

Les Gouvernements dont les Représentants dûment autorisés ont signé le présent accord

Sont convenus de ce qui suit:

L’Office est établi en qualité d’organisme de coordination et de consultation. Etant donné l’heureuse issue de la guerre, il coordonne les efforts tendant à utiliser tous moyens de transport en vue de l’amélioration des communications, de manière à aider au rétablissement des conditions normales de la vie économique. Il aidera également les Commandants en Chef Alliés et les Autorités d’occupation établies par les Gouvernements des Nations Unies à maintenir et à améliorer les possibilités de transport.
Article II. — Composition. Sont membres de l’Office les Gouvernements contractants et tels autres Gouvernements qui pourront y être admis par le Conseil.
Article III. — Constitution. 1. L’Office comporte un Conseil, un Comité Exécutif, et les services centraux, régionaux et locaux nécessaires. En vue de déterminer les modalités d’établissement des bureaux régionaux et locaux, l’Office se concerte avec les Gouvernements contractants sur les territoires desquels ces bureaux sont situés, et, éventuellement, avec le Commandant en Chef Allié dont l’accord est nécessaire. 59 Stat. 1756 Conseil. 2. Chaque Gouvernement contractant nomme un représentant au Conseil et autant de suppléants qu’il est nécessaire. Le Conseil choisit l’un de ses membres pour présider chacune de ses sessions. Le Conseil fixe ses propres règles de procédure. A moins qu’il n’en soit disposé autrement dans le présent accord ou par le Conseil, les décisions de ce dernier sont prises à la majorité simple. 3. Le Conseil est réuni en session ordinaire au moins deux fois par an par Je Comité Exécutif. II peut être réuni en session spéciale chaque fois que le Comité Exécutif l’estime nécessaire et se réunira également dans les 30 jours après que la demande en aura été faite par le tiers des membres du Conseil. 4. Le Conseil remplit les fonctions qui lui sont assignées par le présent accord et exerce un contrôle d’ordre général sur l’activité de l’Office, pour en assurer la conformité avec les directives qu’il a luimême établies. Comité Exécutif. 5. Le Comité Exécutif est composé de sept membres nommés par le Conseil. Ceux-ci comprennent un membre désigné par chacun des Gouvernements suivants: le Gouvernement Provisoire de la République Française, et les Gouvernements des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, du Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande du Nord et de l’Union des Républiques Sovietistes Socialistes. Chaque membre du Comité Exécutif est pourvu d’un suppléant choisi de la même manière, qui n’exerce ses fonctions qu’en l’absence du membre du Comité dont il est le suppléant. Les membres et leurs suppléants sont désignés pour une période ne dépassant pas un an. Le Comité Exécutif choisit son Président sous réserve de confirmation par le Conseil. 6. Le Comité Exécutif remplit les fonctions de direction assignées à l’Office dans le cadre des directives arrêtées par le Conseil. Il agit en conformité des décisions de la majorité de ses membres.

Les responsabilités du Directeur Général et du personnel sont de nature exclusivement internationale. 8. Chaque Gouvernement contractant désigne un ou plusieurs représentants aux fins de se concerter avec le Comité Exécutif et le Directeur Général et de communiquer avec eux. Ces représentants sont tenus pleinement informés par le Comité et par le Directeur Général de toutes les activités de l’Office.

59 Stat. 1757
Article IV. 1. L’Office a le pouvoir d’accomplir tout acte juridique approprié à ses activités, y compris celui d’acquérir des biens, de les conserver et d’en disposer, de signer des contrats, d’assumer des obligations, de désigner ou de créer des organismes subordonnés et de contrôler leur activité. Toutefois, l’Office n’a pas le pouvoir, sauf avec le consentement unanime du Conseil, de posséder du matériel de transport autre que celui destiné à assurer son fonctionnement administratif normal ou à lui permettre de procèder à des démonstrations. 2. Les pouvoirs définis ci-dessus appartiennent au Conseil. Sous réserve des dispositions du paragraphe 2 de l’article V, le Conseil peut déléguer au Comité Exécutif tels de ses pouvoirs qu’il juge utile, y compris le pouvoir de sous-délégation. Le Comité Exécutif est responsable devant le Conseil de l’entretien et de l’administration de tous biens possédés par l’Office.
Article V. — Ressources. 1. Le Comité Exécutif soumet au Conseil un budget initial et, de temps à autre, en tant que de besoin, des budgets supplémentaires, couvrant les dépenses administratives de l’Office. Après l’approbation d’un budget par le Conseil, le montant total en est perçu suivant les procédures, ou reparti entre les Gouvernements contractants, dans les proportions qui auront pu être fixées d’un commun accord par ces Gouvernements. Chaque Gouvernement contractant s’engage, sous réserve des exigences de sa procédure constitutionnelle, à verser promptement sa part des frais de l’Office en telle monnaie dont il pourra être convenu avec le Comité Exécutif. Chaque Gouvernement contractant doit aussi faciliter, en tant que de besoin, le transfert en d’autres monnaies des sommes ainsi versées dans sa propre monnaie et détenues par l’Office. 2. L’Office n’engage aucune dépense autre que des dépenses administratives, si ce n’est par décision du Conseil. Les autres dépenses font l’objet de propositions soumises par le Comité Exécutif au Conseil et, après approbation par le Conseil, sont couvertes par les contributions qu’un ou plusieurs Gouvernements contractants pourraient consentir à fournir, ou de telle autre manière dont les Gouvernements contractants pourraient convenir. Toutefois, l’obligation relative aux transferts en monnaies étrangères, stipulée au paragraphe 1 du présent article, n’est pas applicable à ces contributions. 3. Aucune disposition du présent accord ne peut être interprétée comme obligeant un Gouvernement contractant, ou une administration de transport placée sous l’autorité de celui-ci, à effectuer des services sans rémunération.
Article VI. — Champ d’Action de l’Office. 1. Après en avoir avisé le Gouvernement intéressé, l’Office exerce ses activités dans tout territoire de l’Europe Continentale dès l’acceptation du présent accord par ledit Gouvernement, et, éventuellement, dès que le Commandant en Chef Allié intéressé le juge possible 59 Stat. 1758 du point de vue des nécessités militaires, et sous réserve des modalités qu’il éstimerait utile de fixer. 2. En ce qui concerne tout territoire de l’Europe Continentale sur lequel un Commandant en Chef Allié conserve la responsabilité de la direction des transports, et sur toutes questions de sa compétence aux termes de l’Article ’VII, l’Office donne, sur demande, avis ou assistance à ce Commandant en Chef Allié et, en liaison avec lui, à tout Gouvernement contractant ou à toute autre Autorité compétente des Nations Unies. 3. L’Office traite avec toutes Autorités d’occupation établies par les Gouvernements des Nations Unies, en ce qui touche les territoires de l’Europe Continentale sur lesquels ces Autorités d’occupation exercent leurs pouvoirs.
Article VII. — Fonctions de Direction de l’Office. Introduction. 1. L’Office procède à des études approfondies des conditions techniques et économiques affectant le trafic de caractère international et donne aux Gouvernements intéressés à ce trafic tous avis techniques et recommandations en vue de rétablir et d’augmenter la capacité des réseaux de transport de l’Europe Continentale et de coordonner les mouvements du trafic d’intérêt commun sur ces réseaux. 2. Lorsqu’un Gouvernement contractant rencontre des difficultés dans l’application de ces recommandations pour des motifs d’ordre matériel ou économique, l’Office recherche avec les Gouvernements contractants intéressés des moyens d’aide pratique. Renseignements sur le Matériel de Transport. 3. L’Office reçoit et réunit les informations concernant les besoins en matériel de transport de l’Europe Continentale. Satisfaction des Besoins en Matériel de Transport. 4. L’Office donne son aide à tous les Gouvernements contractants en Europe Continentale en vue de la satisfaction de leurs besoins en matériel de transport. Attribution et Répartition du Matériel de Transport. 5. Dans le cadre des priorités établies par les Autorités compétentes des Nations Unies, l’Office attribue aux Gouvernements en Europe Continentale ou répartit entre ces Gouvernements pour usage, et sous telles conditions qui peuvent être jugées nécessaires, le matériel de transport qui peut être rendu disponible à cet effet par les Commandants en Chef Alliés, par les Autorités d’occupation ou par les organismes relevant d’une ou de plusieurs des Nations Unies. Pour pouvoir exercer ces fonctions avec efficacité, l’Office peut se concerter avec les Gouvernements intéressés sur leurs possibilités d’exportation et leurs besoins d’importation pour l’Europe Continentale en matériel de transport; il est avisé par ces Gouvernements de tous arrangements faits à ce sujet dont ils auraient connaissance. 59 Stat. 1759 Arrangements en vue de rendre disponible du Matériel de Transport. 6. S’il se présente des besoins urgents et temporaires de matériel mobile de transport pour faire face à un trafic d’intérêt commun, et si les arrangements habituels concernant l’échange de ce matériel se révèlent insuffisants, l’Office s’entend avec les Gouvernements contractants intéressés pour rendre disponibles les moyens de transport nécessaires à la satisfaction de ces besoins. De tels moyens de transport sont rendus disponibles par des arrangements entre les Gouvernements contractants intéressés, avec l’assistance de l’Office. Recensement du Matériel de Transport. 7. L’Office fait procéder, aussitôt que possible, par l’entremise des Gouvernements contractants, à un recensement du matériel roulant en Europe Continentale et de telles catégories de matériel de transport qui paraîtraient nécessaires pour lui permettre de remplir correctement ses fonctions. Identification et Restitution du Matériel de Transport. 8. L’Office prend aussitôt que possible les dispositions voulues en vue de la restitution au Gouvernement contractant interessé du matériel de transport appartenant à ce Gouvernement ou à ses ressortissants et trouvé en dehors des territoires relevant de son autorité, et dans des conditions telles qu’il échappe à son contrôle. Si des difficultés d’identification venaient à apparaître, l’Office veillerait immédiatement à ce que soient prises toutes mesures spéciales qui seraient nécessaires en vue de les résoudre. Au cas où une restitution ainsi opérée entraverait indûment des transports essentiels, l’Office négocierait des accords avec les Gouvernements intéressés pour l’usage temporaire de ce matériel de transport en attendant sa restitution. Il sera procédé aux restitutions sur la base de l’état de propriété existant avant que des modifications territoriales n’aient eu lieu en Europe sous l’effet de la politique de l’Axe et dans le cadre de la politique générale qui pourrait être déterminée par les Autorités compétentes des Nations Unies en ce qui concerne la restitution et le remplacement des biens enlevés par l’ennemi. Trafic. 9. L’Office peut faire telles recommandations qu’il estime nécessaire aux Autorités compétentes au sujet des modalités des programmes concernant le trafic d’intérêt commun, en tenant compte des moyens et du matériel disponibles pour assurer ce trafic 10. L’Office fait des recommandations aux Gouvernements intéressés en vue d’assurer le trafic d’intérêt commun sur tous les itinéraires de transport en Europe Continentale, en accord avec les priorités établies par les Autorités compétentes des Nations Unies. En ce qui concerne le trafic d’intérêt militaire relevant des Commandants en Chef Alliés, l’Autorité compétente à cet égard est le Commandant en Chef Allié intéressé. 59 Stat. 1760 Tarifs. 11. L’Office peut étudier l’unification des tarifs, des clauses et des conditions de transport applicables au trafic de caractère international, ainsi que les questions connexes. Il recommande aux Gouvernements intéressés les principes d’après lesquels des tarifs raisonnables pour le trafic d’intérêt commun en Europe Continentale devraient être fixés par eux conformément aux dispositions du paragraphe 9 de l’Article VIII. Le présent paragraphe ne s’applique pas au trafic militaire sous le contrôle d’un Commandant en Chef Allié, sauf s’il en fait la demande. Remise en état des Moyens de Transport. 12. L’Office peut étudier les conditions de transport intéressant le trafic de caractère international dans des pays déterminés et faire aux Gouvernements intéressés des recommandations en ce qui concerne les mesures techniques susceptibles d’assurer le rétablissement rapide des moyens de transport, leur utilisation la plus efficace et les priorités selon lesquelles les travaux ou projets concernant la remise en état ou l’amélioration de ces moyens devraient ètre exécutés. Exploitation. 13. Bien qu’il appartienne à chaque Gouvernement contractant d’assurer l’exploitation satisfaisante des moyens de transport dont il est responsable en Europe Continentale, l’Office peut, exceptionellement, à la demande de l’un quelconque des Gouvernements contractants, donner à celui-ci toute l’aide en son pouvoir pour la remise en état ou l’exploitation des transports dans tous les territoires de l’Europe Continentale sous l’autorité de ce Gouvernement, aux conditions fixées d’accord entre ce Gouvernement et l’Office, compte tenu des droits des autres Gouvernements contractants. Coordination des Transports Européens. 14. L’Office prépare et coordonne l’action commune en vue d’assurer l’établissement, le maintien, la modification, le rétablissement, ou, s’il est opportun, la suppression d’arrangements internationaux pour l’exploitation en transit des chemins de fer et l’échange du matériel roulant dans les pays de l’Europe Continentale, en vue d’assurer les transports internationaux. En particulier, il établit un système de clearing unifié pour le trafic entre les différents pays de l’Europe Continentale. En général l’Office provoque, là où les circonstances le demandent, l’établissement de procédures appropriées pour la coopération entre les administrations des Chemins de Fer. 15. L’Office met ses services à la disposition des Gouvernements contractants et fait des recommandations en vue d’assurer sur toutes les voies navigables le trafic international de la manière la plus satisfaisante. Il ne fera pas toutefois de recommandations portant sur des questions concernant le régime des voies navigables internationales en Europe Continentale. 16. L’Office prend, par l’entremise des Gouvernements intéressés, toutes mesures pratiquement applicables, de manière à faciliter le 59 Stat. 1761 trafic international d’intérêt commun par camions et autres véhicules routiers, et la coordination des moyens de transport routiers avec les autres moyens de transport, en vue d’assurer la circulation du trafic international. 17. En remplissant les fonctions définies aux paragraphes 14 et 16 du présent article et en mettent ses services à la disposition des Gouvernements contractants comme il est dit au paragraphe 15 du présent article, l’Office applique dans la mesure du possible les conventions en vigueur entre les Gouvernements contractants de manière à en tirer le plus grand avantage pour l’accomplissement de sa mission dans ce domaine, et à cet effet l’Office agit — (a) en accord avec les directives générales qui peuvent être données par les Autorités compétentes des Nations Unies; (b) en respectant les obligations et droits existants. 18. L’Office adresse aux Gouvernements intéressés des recommandations tendant à promouvoir la coordination nécessaire de tous les transports européens, en vue d’assurer les besoins militaires communs des Nations Unies ou dans l’intérêt du trafic de caractère international. Relations avec les autres Organismes. 19. L’Office coopère, en tant que de besoin, avec les Autorités compétentes ou organismes relevant d’une ou plusieurs des Nations Unies et avec les organisations internationales. 20. L’Office donne toute assistance possible aux Commandants en Chef Alliés pour faire face à leurs besoins en matière de matériel et d’équipement de transport, de manière à améliorer le rendement de ces derniers en vue de la satisfaction des besoins militaires. 21. L’Office prend toutes dispositions pour se concerter, selon les procédures appropriées, avec les représentants des personnes employées dans les transports intérieurs au sujet des questions internationales de la compétence de l’Office et intéressant aussi bien celui-ci que lesdites personnes. Dispositions diverses. 22. L’Office peut donner des avis aux Gouvernements intéressés et à toutes les Autorités compétentes des Nations Unies sur les priorités à accorder, dans l’intérêt de la réorganisation des transports européens, au rapatriement du personnel des transports déporté et à la main-d’oeuvre exigée pour la production, l’entretien ou les réparations du matériel de transport. 23. L’Office donne toute l’assistance possible, par l’entremise des Autorités compétentes, aux Gouvernements contractants, et à la demande de ceux-ci, pour leur procurer des approvisionnements en combustibles, en carburants, en énergie électrique et en lubrifiants en vue d’assurer les besoins du trafic d’intérêt commun, de telle manière que ces Gouvernements puissent remplir leurs obligations conformément au paragraphe 7 de l’Article VIII.

Les dispositions du paragraphe 3 du présent article n’affectent pas les droits des Commandants en Chef Alliés à l’intérieur de tout territoire sur lequel l’Office n’a pas commencé à exercer ses fonctions telles qu’elles sont définies par l’Article VII. Trafic. 5. Chaque Gouvernement contractant s’engage à assurer, par tous les moyens en son pouvoir, la meilleure circulation possible du trafic 59 Stat. 1763 d’intérêt commun, conformément aux recommandations faites par l’Office en vertu du paragraphe 10 de l’Article VII. 6.

Perceptions. 8. Chaque Gouvernement contractant s’engage à ne pas percevoir et à ne pas autoriser la perception de droits de douane et d’autres droits, si ce n’est les frais de transport et les frais de transit normaux, sur le trafic d’intérêt commun transitant sur les territoires de l’Europe Continentale relevant de son autorité.

D.A.E. N° 346

Buenos Aires, mayo 9 de 1945.

Señor Encarga do de Negocios:

Tengo el honor de dirigirme a V.S. con referenda a las negociaciones realizadas entre S.E. el señor Secretario de Industria y Comercio de la República Argentina, General de Brigada Julio C. Checchi y el señor Randolph Powell Butler, Agente Especial de la U.S. Commercial Company, entidad del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América, para dejar constancia de la conformidad de mi Gobierno a las siguientes cláusulas:

A. Fuel Oil y Embarque 1. La U.S. Commercial Company se compromete a hacer disponible para embarque a la Argentina, tan pronto como sea factible después de la fecha, una cantidad no menor de 500.000 (quinientas mil) toneladas métricas de fuel oil, comprometiéndose por su parte el Gobierno argentine según lo expuesto a continuación, a vender a la U.S. Commercial Company la totalidad del saldo exportable, con las reservas que se establecen mas adelante, de semilla de lino y sus sub-productos, procedente de la cosecha 1944/45 o cosechas anteriores, y a dar garantías adicionales, según se expresa en el presente Acuerdo. Además la U.S. Commercial Company se compromete a hacer disponible para embarque a la Argentina, una vez satisfecha la cantidad arriba mencionada y hasta el 31 de diciembre de 1946, una cantidad adicional de 500.000 (quinientas mil) toneladas métricas de fuel oil, o una cantidad de fuel oil equivalente al valor calórico del saldo exportable de semilla de lino y sus sub-productos procedente de la cosecha 1945/46, la que fuese mayor, comprometiéndose por su parte el Gobierno argentine, según lo expuesto a continuación, a vender a la U.S. Commercial Company la totalidad del saldo exportable de semilla de lino y sus sub-productos procedente de la cosecha 1945/46. Queda entendido que en ningún caso se obligará la U.S. Commercial Company a entregar fuel oil de un valor calórico que exceda el valor calórico total de los saldos exportables de lino y sus sub-productos entregados bajo este Acuerdo. 2. La U.S. Commercial Company se compromete a hacer disponible espacio de bodega en barcos rumbo al sur, para la entrega de no menos de 100.000 (cien mil) toneladas metricas de fuel oil, de la partida de 59 Stat. 1800 las primeras 500.000 (quinientas mil) toneladas métricas a suministrarse de acuerdo al párrafo A-1 anterior durante el período de 12 (doce) meses a partir de la fecha de este Acuerdo, con un mínimo mensual de aproximadamente 5.000 (cinco mil) toneladas métricas, y se compromete ademas a hacer disponible espacio de bodega en barcos rumbo al sur para la entrega de no menos de 100.000 (cien mil) toneladas métricas o el 20% (veinte por ciento) de la cantidad de fuel oil a que se refiere el mismo párrafo, correspondiente a la cosecha 1945/46, la que fuese mayor, cuyo espacio se hará disponible en las cantidades mensuales que resulten factibles y que en cualquier caso deberán completarse al 31 de diciembre de 1946. 3. Queda entendido que la U.S. Commercial Company no asume responsabilidad para suministrar medios de transporte para la cantidad restante de fuel oil cuya entrega deberá autorizarse, aunque se tiene le esperanza de que antes de la terminación del período de entrega existan facilidades adicionales a las que actualmente son accesibles al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América. 4. Además de las cantidades de fuel oil arriba mencionadas, la cantidad de aproximadamente 15.000 (quince mil) toneladas métricas de fuel oil que actualmente retiene la Compañía Argentina de Navegación Dodero S.A. en Buenos Aires, será librada al consume interno en la Argentina y queda claramente entendido que una cantidad de semilla de lino y sus sub-productos, de un valor calórico equivalente al fuel oil en cuestión, se hará disponible para su entrega bajo este Acuerdo en el curso de los primeros ocho meses. 5. A cambio del embarque inmediato entre el 15 de mayo y el 15 de junio de 1945 de aproximadamente 7.000 (siete mil) toneladas métricas de fuel oil, que representan la primera entrega, en espacio de bodega de buque petrolero dispuesto por la U.S. Commercial Company de acuerdo al párrafo A-3, el Gobierno argentine se compromete, bajo este Acuerdo, a hacer disponible puntualmente 7.000 (siete mil) toneladas de torta o harina de semilla de lino, y 3.500! (tres mil quinientas) toneladas métricas de aceite de semilla de lino, F.O.B., debiendo suministrarse el saldo del equivalente calorico en entregas subsiguientes durante el primer trimestre. 6.

Con respecto al compromiso contraído de acuerdo al párrafo A-1, queda convenido de mútuo acuerdo que el Gobierno argentine hará disponible sobre una base F.O.B. en cada trimestre a partir de la fecha de este Acuerdo, una cantidad de semilla de lino y sus sub-productos aproximadamente equivalente al valor calórico del fuel oil importado bajo este Acuerdo durante dicho período, y que cualquiera diferencia que surgiera será compensada en el período siguiente. A los fines de este Acuerdo los. valores calóricos se computarán en la forma siguiente:

Fuel oil — 10,000 (diez mil) calorías por tonelada métrica. Aceite de Semilla de Lino — 9,500 (nueve mil quinientas) calorías por tonelada métrica.59 Stat. 1801 Semilla de Lino — 5,700 (cinco mil setecientas) calorías por tonelada métrica. Torta de Semilla de Lino y Expellers — 4,350 (cuatro mil trescientas cincuenta) calorías por tonelada métrica. Harina de Semilla de Lino Extraida — 3,900 (tres mil novecientas) calorías por tonelada métrica. 7. Las necesidades de fuel oil de la Compañía Argentina de Navegación Dodero S.A. que, según se entiende, son de aproximadamente 70,000 (setenta mil) toneladas métricas por año, se satisfarán además de las cantidades ya mencionadas, y queda entendido como condición esencial de este Acuerdo que se mantendrá la disponibilidad de los petroleros de dicha Compama para transportar aceites vegetales a los Estados Unidos de America. 8.

Queda mutuamente entendido y convenido que las importaciones de fuel-oil serán autorizadas unicamente para aquellas compañías, argentinas, británicas y estadounidenses que figuraban como importadores en el año 1941, o que efectuaron ventas de fuel oil para ser eventualmente importado por industrias consumidoras de este producto en la Argentina durante ese año, y que cada una de esas compañías participará de acuerdo a los percentages siguientes:

Astra 2.25 (dos con veinticinco)
Cia. General de Combustibles 26.84 (veintiseis con ochenta y cuatro)
Shell Mex 36.83 (trienta y seis con ochenta y tres).
Cia. Nativa de Petróleo 34.08 (treinta y cuatro con cero ocho).

El fuel oil en cuestión es fuel oil residual originario de Trinidad, Aruba o Curasao. En la medida en que se emplee espacio de bodega en petroleros argentinos, la elección del punto de origen queda a opción del Gobierno argentine, pero en lo que respecta al espacio de bodega de petroleros suministrado por la U.S. Commercial Company, dicha elección queda a opción de esta Compañía. Debe not arse que existe una diferencia en las especificaciones entre el fuel oil originario de Trinidad y en el de los otros dos puntos nombrados.

 9. El precio del fuel oil suministrado bajo este Acuerdo será el que corresponda al precio corriente de plaza vigente en cada puerto en la fecha de cada embarque, pero no será mayor del precio intemacional equivalente. 10. Con respecto al compromise de la U.S. Commercial Company de hacer disponible fuel oil y de suministrar el espacio de bodega en petroleros para la entrega de cantidades limitadas de dicho producto según se establece en párrafos precedentes, la U.S. Commercial Company se reserva expresamente el derecho de interrumpir el cumplimiento de estas obligaciones unicamente en el caso de que acontecimientos no actualmente previsibles relacionados con nuestro esfuerzo bélico conjunto hicieran necesaria tai interrupción. No obstante, en tai caso la parte restante de esas obligaciones serfan cumplidas tan pronto como hubieren desaparecido las causas de la interrupcion. 59 Stat. 1802 B. Semilla de Lino y Sus Sub-Productos 1. El Gobierno argentine pondrá a disposición de la U.S. Commercial Company y la U.S. Commercial Company comprara la totalidad del saldo exportable, según se definirá a continuación, de semilla de lino, aceite, torta y harina de semilla de lino, procedente de las cosechas 1944/45 y 1945/46, y cosechas anteriores. 2. Con sujecion a las disposiciones vigentes sobre el canje de valores calóricos contenidos en el párrafo A-2 del presente Acuerdo, todo el saldo exportable de la cosecha 1944/45 quedará disponible para ser cargado F.O.B. Buenos Aires a más tardar al 31 de diciembre de 1945, y análogamente todo el saldo exportable de la cosecha 1945/46 a más tardar el 31 de diciembre de 1946. 3.

El término “saldo exportable” se define como significando toda la semilla de lino (y el aceite, torta y harina de semilla de lino sujetos a las limitaciones que se establecerán en el párrafo B-4) que se encuentre en existencia o que proceda de la nueva producción entregable durante el periodo mencionado y en la forma especificada en el párrafo B-1 del presente Acuerdo, y que en ningún caso será menos que

133,000 (ciento treinta y tres mil) toneladas métricas de semilla de lino, 179,000 (ciento setenta y nueve mil) toneladas métricas de torta y harina de semilla de lino, y 88,000 (ochenta y ocho mil) toneladas métricas de aceite de semilla de lino,

de la cosecha 1944/45, y cosechas anteriores, que no sea necesario para

 (a) las necesidades del mercado local argentine fuera de lo requerido como combustible; (b) las exportaciones normales destinadas al consume en otros países latino-americanos basadas sobre el volúmen de dichas exportaciones a cada país en años anteriores; y (c) las exportaciones normales destinadas al consumo en países europeos basadas sobre el volúmen de las exportaciones a cada uno de dichos países en años anteriores, sujetas a las siguientes limitaciones: (1) no se aprobará ninguna exportación de esta naturaleza salvo a pedido expreso del gobierno de la nación europea interesada; (2) el representante de la U.S. Commercial Company será informado inmediatamente de toda licencia de exportación solicitada de acuerdo con la cláusula precedente; (3) se tomarán las disposiciones necesarias para mantener informado al Gobierno Argentino de las cuotas establecidas por la Combined Food Board a favor de naciones europeas para productos argentinos incluídos en este párrafo; (d) El mínimo indispensable de consumo para combustible en la Argentina hasta el momento en que los suministros de fuel oil aludidos en este Acuerdo hagan innecesario el uso de dicho producto; 59 Stat. 1803 (e) El reemplazo de las necesidades esenciales argentinas de diesel oil que se entienden ser aproximadamente 4.000 (cuatro mil) toneladas métricas mensuales de aceite de lino. Sin embargo la U.S. Commercial Company se reserva el derecho de hacer disponible diesel oil en lugar de fuel oil hasta el límite mensual indicado, en cuyo caso no podrá ser deducido del saldo exportable la cantidad de aceite de lino reservado por este inciso en la medida que ingrese diesel oil a la Argentina. 4. En lo que respecta a la cosecha 1944/45, y cosechas anteriores, no menos de un tercio del total del saldo exportable será entregado como semilla de lino, debiendo el remanente ser elaborado en la Argentina y todo el aceite y harina y torta resultantes deberán suministrarse según este acuerdo, a la U.S. Commercial Company. En cuanto a la cosecha 1945/46, no menos de la mitad del saldo exportable deberá ser entregado como semilla de lino, debiendo elaborarse el remanente en la Argentina y todo el aceite y harina y torta resultantes deberán suministrarse según este Acuerdo a la U.S. Commercial Company. Queda entendido que el Gobierno argentino se reserva el derecho de elegir, antes del 1° de marzo de 1946 o antes de la primera exportación de la cosecha 1945/46, cual acontezca primero, el aumentar la cantidad mínima de la semilla de lino para no menos de dos tercios del total de la cosecha 1945/46, y en tal caso el precio aplicable a aceite de lino derivado de esa cosecha será U$S 0.09 1/2 (cero coma cero nueve y medio) por libra en lugar del precio de U$S 0.09 (cero coma cero nueve) por libra especificado en el párrafo B-5 de este Acuerdo. 5.

Los precios y las especificaciones serán como se dan a continuación:

No. 980

Excellency,

I have the honor to address Your Excellency with reference to the negotiations carried out between Mr. Randolph Powell Butler, Special Agent of the U.S. Commercial Company, an agency of the Government of the United States of America, and His Excellency The Secretary of Industry and Commerce of the Republic of Argentina, Brigadier-General Julio C. Checci, and to express the agreement of my Government to the following clauses:

A. Fuel Oil and Shipping 1. The U.S. Commercial Company agrees to make available for shipment to Argentina, as soon as practicable after this date, not less than 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil, in consideration of the Argentine Government’s agreement hereafter set forth to sell to the U.S. Commercial Company the entire exportable surplus, subject to the reservations hereafter established, of flaxseed and its products, arising from the 1944-1945 or prior crops, and to extend other guaranties as herein outlined. Furthermore, the U.S. Commercial Company agrees to make available for shipment to Argentina, upon completion of the foregoing quantity and up to December 31, 1946, an additional 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil, or a quantity of fuel oil equivalent to the caloric value of the 1945-1946 exportable surplus of flaxseed and its products, whichever is higher, in consideration of the Argentine Government’s agreement hereafter set forth to sell to the U.S. Commercial Company the entire exportable surplus of flaxseed and its products, arising 59 Stat. 1808 from the 1945-1946 crop; provided that in no event shall the U.S. Commercial Company be required to deliver fuel oil of a caloric value in excess of the total caloric value of the exportable surpluses of all of the flaxseed or its products delivered under this contract. 2. The U.S. Commercial Company agrees to make available south-bound tank space for delivery of not less than 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil, applying to the first quantity of 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand) metric tons to be supplied under Paragraph A-1 above, during a twelve-months period counted from the date of this agreement with a monthly minimum of approximately 5000 (Five Thousand) tons and, in addition, southbound tank space for delivery of not less than 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand) tons or 20% (Twenty Percent), whichever is higher, of the quantity of fuel oil provided in that paragraph as applying to the 1945-1946 crop, such space to be made available in the monthly amounts which may prove feasible, and in any event to be completed by December 31, 1946. 3. It is understood that as to the remainder of the fuel oil to be supplied, no responsibility for providing transportation rests with the U.S. Commercial Company, although it is hoped that facilities in addition to those now available to the United States Government may present themselves before the conclusion of the period. 4. Also, in addition to the foregoing quantities of fuel oil, the quantity of approximately 15,000 (Fifteen Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil now held by the Compañía Argentina de Navegación Dodero, S.A. in Buenos Aires will be released for internal consumption in Argentina and it is clearly understood that a quantity of flaxseed and its products, equivalent to the caloric value of this fuel oil, will be made available for delivery under this agreement in the course of the first eight months. 5. In consideration of the immediate shipment between May 15 and June 15, 1945 of approximately 7,000 (Seven Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil, representing the first delivery, in tank space arranged for by the U.S. Commercial Company, in accordance with

Supra.

 Paragraph A-3, the Argentine Government will promptly make available, f.o.b., under the agreement, 7,000 (Seven Thousand) tons of linseed cake or meal and 3,500 (Three Thousand Five Hundred) metric tons of linseed oil, the balance of the caloric equivalent to be made up in subsequent deliveries during the first three-months period. 6.

Ante, p. 1807.

In connection with the commitment contained in Paragraph A-1, it is mutually agreed that the Argentine Government will make available on an f.o.b. basis, in each three-months period, counted from the date of this agreement, a quantity of flaxseed and its products approximately equivalent to the caloric value of the fuel oil imported under the agreement during such period, and that any differences shall be compensated in the ensuing period. For the purpose of this agreement, caloric values shall be computed as follows:

59 Stat. 1809 Fuel Oil — 10,000 (Ten Thousand) calories per metric ton Linseed oil — 9,500 (Nine Thousand Five Hundred) calories per metric ton Flaxseed — 5,700 (Five Thousand Seven Hundred) calories per metric ton Linseed Cake & Expellers — 4,350 (Four Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty) calories per metric ton Extracted Linseed Meal — 3,900 (Three Thousand Nine Hundred) calories per metric ton 7. The fuel oil requirements of the Compañía Argentina de Navegación Dodero, S.A., which are understood to be approximately 70,000 (Seventy Thousand) metric tons per annum, will be supplied in addition to the foregoing quantities and it is understood that the continued availability of this Company’s tankers to carry vegetable oils to the United States of America is a necessary condition of this proposal. 8.

It is mutually understood and agreed that imports of fuel oil will be authorized only through those oil companies, Argentine, British and American, who figured as importers in the year 1941, and/or who made sales of fuel oil for subsequent importation by consuming industries in Argentina during that year, and that each such company shall share in accordance with the following percentages:

ASTRA 2.25% (Two and twenty-five hundredths percent)
Cía. General de Combustibles 26.84% (Twenty-six and eighty-four hundredths percent)
Shell-Mex 36.83% (Thirty-six and eighty-three hundredths percent)
Cía. Nativa de Petroleos 34.08% (Thirty-four and eight hundredths percent)

The fuel oil in question is residual fuel oil originating in Trinidad, Aruba or Curacao. To the extent that Argentine tank space is employed, the choice of point of origin shall be at the option of the Argentine Government but to the extent that tank space is arranged by the U.S. Commercial Company, such choice shall be at the option of the U.S. Commercial Company. It should be noted that there is a difference in specifications between the oil originating in Trinidad and in the other two named sources.

 9. The f.o.b. price of all fuel oil supplied hereunder will be the

Price.

 current market price ruling at each port on the date of each loading, but in no event higher than the equivalent world price. 10. In connection with the commitment of the U.S. Commercial

Interruption of commitments.

 Company to make available fuel oil and to provide tank space for delivery of limited quantities thereof contained in the preceding paragraphs, the U.S. Commercial Company specifically reserves the right to interrupt the discharge of these commitments only in case presently unforeseen developments in connection with our joint war effort should render such interruption necessary. In such event, 59 Stat. 1810 however, the remainder of such commitments would be discharged as soon as the causes of interruption had been removed. B. Flaxseed and its Products 1.

Purchase of flaxseed, etc.

 The Argentine Government will make available to the U.S. Commercial Company and the U.S. Commercial Company will purchase the entire exportable surplus as hereafter defined of flaxseed, linseed oil, and cake, and meal, arising from the 1944-1945 crop and the 1945-1946 crop, and prior crops. 2. Subject to the provision governing exchange of caloric values contained in Paragraph A-2 hereof, all of the exportable surplus of the 194L-1945 crop shall be made available for loading f.o.b. vessel Buenos Aires, not later than December 31, 1945 and similarly, all of the exportable surplus of the 1945-1946 crop, not later than December 31, 1946. 3.

S. Commercial Company reserves the right to make available quantities of diesel oil in lieu of fuel oil up to such monthly amount, in which case the amount of linseed oil reserved by this sub-paragraph as a deduction from the exportable surplus shall be reduced to the extent that arrivals of diesel oil in Argentina take place. 4.

As to the 1944-1945 crop, and prior crops, not less than one-third of the total exportable surplus shall be delivered as flaxseed, the remainder to be crushed in Argentina and all of the resultant oil and meal or cake to be tendered to the U.S. Commercial Company hereunder.

 America and Colombia relating to waiver in respect of tariff preferences accorded Ecuador by Colombia under a treaty of commerce between Colombia and Ecuador signed July 6, 1942, as amended October 14, 1943. Effected by exchange of notes signed at Bogotá April 17, 1945.

Señor Embajador:

En relatión con la fórmula contractual sobre tarifas preferenciales entre países limítrofes o vecinos, prevista tanto en la Resolutión Número LXXX de la Séptima Conferencia Interamericana, aprobada el 24 de diciembre de 1933, como en la Recomendación adoptada por el Comité Consultivo Financiero Económico Interamericano el 18 de septiembre de 1941, tengo el honor de manifestar a Vuestra Excelencia lo siguiente:

En el Artículo 5° del Tratado de Comercio entre Colombia y Ecuador de 6 de julio de 1942-que con su Conventión Adícional de 14 de octubre de 1943 fué aprobado por el Congreso Nacional según ley 103 de 1944—, se permite la entrada a Colombia, libre de derechos de importatión, de ciertos productos originarios y provenientes del Ecuador, especificados en una lista.

Pero como quiera que el artículo VII del Convenio Comercial entre Colombia y los Estados Unidos, firmado el 13 de septiembre de 1935, dispone que cada uno de los dos países conceda al otro el tratamiento incondicional e irrestricto de la nación más favorecida en todos los asuntos relacionados con las aduanas, muy atentamente ruego a Vuestra Excelencia comunicarme si el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos convendría en no acogerse a esta disposición con el propósito de reclamar el beneficio de las preferencias arancelarias exclusivas otorgadas por Colombia al Ecuador.

Al formular esta consulta, aprovecho la oportunidad para reiterar al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, por el alto conducto de Vuestra Excelencia, la seguridad de que mi Gobierno está en un todo de acuerdo con el principio del tratamiento incondicional de la nación más favorecida para el desarrollo multilateral del comercio internacional, y que estima muy claramente que la excepción propuesta ahora a dicho principio, se ciñe tanto a lo expresado en la mencionada Resolutión LXXX de Montevideo, como a los tres siguientes requisites de la Recomendación del Comité Consultivo Financiero Económico Interamericano:59 Stat. 1816

“Que cualquiera preferencia arancelaria, de esta índole, para constituír un instrumento destinado a fomentar firmemente el comercio, debería ser hecha efectiva por acuerdos comerciales que incluyan reducciones o exenciones arancelarias;

“Que las partes contratantes deben reservarse el derecho de reducir o eliminar los derechos aduaneros a las importaciones similares de otros países; y

“Que tales preferencias arancelarias regionales no deben impedir ningún amplio programa de reconstructión económica que contemple la reductión de aranceles y la reductión o eliminación de preferencias tarifarias y otras preferencias comerciales con el propósito de lograr el más amplio desarrollo del comercio international sobre una base multilateral e incondicional de la nación más favorecida”.

Ruego a Vuestra Excelencia aceptar las seguridades de mi más elevada y distinguida consideratión,

Alberto Lleras

Number LXXX of the Seventh Inter-American Conference, approved December 24, 1933, as well as in the Recommendation adopted by the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee September 18, 1941,1 have the honor to make the following statement to Your Excellency:

In Article 5 of the Treaty of Commerce between Colombia and Ecuador of July 6, 1942— which with its Additional Convention of October 14, 1943 was approved by the National Congress according to Law 103 of 1944—, the entry into Colombia is permitted, free of import duties, of certain products originating in and coming from Ecuador, as itemized in a list.

However, since Article VII of the Trade Agreement between Colombia

49 Stat. 3882.

and the United States, signed September 13, 1935, provides that each of the two countries shall grant the other unconditional and unrestricted most-favored-nation treatment in all customs matters, I very respectfully request Your Excellency to inform me whether the Government of the United States would agree not to resort to this 59 Stat. 1817 provision for the purpose of claiming the benefit of the exclusive customs tariff preferences granted by Colombia to Ecuador.

In formulating this inquiry, I avail myself of the opportunity to reiterate to the Government of the United States, through the high intermediary of Your Excellency, the assurance that my Government is completely in accord with the principle of unconditional most-favored-nation treatment for the multilateral development of international trade, and that it has very clearly in mind that the exception now proposed to said principle is limited to what is set forth in the aforementioned Resolution LXXX of Montevideo, as well as to the three following requirements of the Recommendation of the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee:

“That any such tariff preferences, in order to be an instrument for sound promotion of trade, should be made effective through trade agreements embodying tariff reductions or exemptions;

“That the parties to such agreements should reserve the right to reduce or eliminate the customs duties on like imports from other countries; and

“That any such regional tariff preferences should not be permitted to stand in the way of any broad program of economic reconstruction involving the reduction of tariffs and the scaling down or elimination of tariff and other trade preferences with a view to the fullest possible development of international trade on a multilateral unconditional most-favored-nation basis.”

I beg Your Excellency to accept the assurance of my highest and most distinguished consideration.

No. 27

Excellency:

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of Your Excellency’s note no. CM-415 of April 17, 1945, in which you mention the contractual formula for tariff preferences to contiguous countries contemplated in Resolution LXXX of the Seventh Inter-American Conference,

Department of State Publication 666.

which was approved on December 24, 1933, and in the recommendation adopted by the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee on September 18, 1941. In this connection you refer to 59 Stat. 1818 the exclusive tariff preferences to Ecuador provided for in Article V of the Treaty of Commerce between Colombia and that country signed on July 6, 1942 and amended on October 14, 1943.

You inquire whether the Government of the United States of America will agree, on the basis of this formula, to refrain from claiming, under the provisions of Article VII of the trade agreement between

49 Stat. 3882.

our two countries signed on September 13, 1935, the benefit of the tariff preferences to Ecuador specifically provided for in the above-mentioned treaty.

I have the honor to state that my Government, while recognizing its adherence to the formula recommended by the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee, desires to call attention to the fact that, mindful of the fourth and fifth principles of the Atlantic Charter, it attaches great importance to the final requirement quoted in Your Excellency’s note which states that regional preferences should not be permitted to stand in the way of any broad program of economic reconstruction involving the reduction of tariffs and the scaling down or elimination of tariff and other trade preferences with a view to the fullest possible development of international trade on a multilateral unconditional most-favored-nation basis.

With these considerations in view, the Government of the United States agrees not to invoke the pertinent provisions of the trade agreement between our two countries for the purpose of claiming the benefit of the tariff preferences to Ecuador provided in Article V of the Treaty of Commerce between Colombia and Ecuador.

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

No. 101.

Excellency:

Acting under instructions from my Government, I have the honor to signify my Government’s agreement to the following arrangements for regulating military relations between the Armed Forces of the United States and of Norway in Iceland.

Recognizing the advantages of preserving the principle of unity of command in Iceland, it is agreed that since the British Forces in Northeast Iceland have been relieved by United States troops, the independent Norwegian Company stationed at Akureyri, formerly under British command, shall be placed under the operational control of the Commanding General, United States Army Iceland Base Command.

The Norwegian Company shall be placed at the disposal of the United States Commanding General as a Norwegian training unit in winter warfare and for carrying out winter patrol missions in the Akureyri area. However, since the original purpose of the Company was to serve as a depot for the Norwegian detachment garrisoning Jan Mayen Island, the United States Commanding General shall make use of the Company in such a way that this purpose is fulfilled.

The Norwegian Company in Iceland shall be furnished by the Norwegian Government with necessary clothing, equipment and weapons. However, special winter equipment shall be issued by the United States authorities to the extent that the United States Commanding Officer deems desirable. The United States authorities shall provide the Company with rations, quarters and medical service, on the same scale as furnished American forces stationed in Iceland, and also effect repairs to clothes and equipment, insofar as facilities permit. The cost to the United States of all such equipment, supplies and services shall be refunded by the Norwegian Government, which shall also be responsible for the pay of Norwegian personnel. However, transportation essential for the employment of the Company by United States military authorities shall be at the expense of the United States.

59 Stat. 1820

The personnel of the Norwegian Company shall continue to be subject to Norwegian civil and military jurisdiction and Norwegian disciplinary authority.

The Norwegian Government reserves to itself the right to withdraw this personnel, in whole or in part, if a situation should develop rendering advisable its detail to other tasks.

The foregoing arrangement shall enter into effect as of this date and shall remain in force until either party notifies the other of its desire to terminate or modify it.

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

The Kuril islands shall be handed over to the Soviet Union.

It is understood, that the agreement concerning Outer-Mongolia and the ports and railroads referred to above will require concurrence of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. The President will take measures in order to obtain this concurrence on advice from Marshal Stalin.

The Heads of the three Great Powers have agreed that these claims of the Soviet Union shall be unquestionably fulfilled after Japan has been defeated.

For its part the Soviet Union expresses its readiness to conclude with the National Government of China a pact of friendship and alliance between the USSR and China in order to render assistance to China with its armed forces for the purpose of liberating China from the Japanese yoke.

autorizada tendrá derecho a una indemnización que corresponda al monto efectivo de la pérdida, expoliación o averia. La indemnización se calculará de acuerdo con el valor efectivo (el precio corriente) de las mercaderias de la misma clase en el lugar y en la época en que las mismas hayan sido aceptadas para el transporte, siempre que la indemnización no podrá en ningún caso exceder del monto de que la encomienda fué asegurada y en que el derecho de seguro ha sido cobrado, o el monto máximum de $100.00. A falta de precios corrientes, la indemnización se calculará de acuerdo con el valor ordinario de la mercancía avaluada sobre las mismas bases.

Insured parcels reforwarded or returned to a third country.

 Cuando una encomienda originaria de un país destinada al otro país se reexpida desde el país de destinación primitiva a un tercer país o se devuelva a un tercer país, a solicitud del remitente o del destinatario, el reclamante autorizado tendrá derecho solamente a tai indemnización por cualquiera pérdida, expoliación o avería que ocurra después de la reexpedición o devolutión del envío por el país de su primitiva destinatión, y que el pais en donde ocurriere la pérdida, expoliación o avería deseare pagar o estuviere obligado a pagar de conformidad 59 Stat. 1831 con algún acuerdo existente entre los países directamente interesados en la reexpedición o devolutión. Cualquier país adherido a este acuerdo que indebidamente reexpida una encomienda con valor declarado a un tercer país, será responsable dentro de los mismos límites que el país de origen para con el remitente, quedando sujeto a las restricciones, fijadas por el presente acuerdo. 6. El remitente será responsable

(b) En caso de la pérdida o avería debida a un caso de fuerza mayor. (c) Cuando no puedan dar cuenta de las encomiendas por causa de la destruction de los archives debido a un caso de fuerza mayor, y siempre que la prueba de su responsabilidad no puede comprobarse en cualquiera otra forma. 59 Stat. 1832 (d) Cuando el dano haya sido causado por falta o negligencia del remitente, del destinatario o del representante de uno u otro o provenga de la naturaleza del objeto. (e) Cuando se trate de encomiendas que contengan los objetos prohibidos. (f) En caso de que el remitente de una encomienda con valor declarado, con la intención de defraudar pretende que el contenido valga más que su valor real; este artículo no podrá perjudicar ningún procedimiento judicial necesitado por la legislation del país de origen (g) Cuando se trate de encomiendas confiscadas por la aduana debido a falsa declaratión de su contenido. (h) Cuando ninguna reclamación o aplicación de indemnización haya sido presentada por el interesado o por su representante dentro de un ano a contarse desde el día siguiente al de la imposición de la encomienda con valor declarado. (i) De las encomiendas que contengan artículos de ningún valor intrínseco, o sujetos a descomposición o que no se conformaren a las estipulaciones de este acuerdo, o que no hubieren sido depositadas en la forma prescrita; pero el país responsable de la pérdida, expoliación o avería, puede pagar indemnización por dichas encomiendas, sin necesidad de recurso a la otra Administración.

Artículo 6. Plazo para el pago de la indemnización. 1.

El pago de la indemnización deberá efectuarse al interesado lo más pronto posible, y a más tardar en el plazo de un año a partir del día siguiente al de la reclamatión.

La Administratión a la cual corresponda dicho pago, podrá posponerlo excepcionalmente más allá de este plazo, cuando a la expiratión de ese plazo, no ha podido deslindarse la cuestión de la responsibilidad o de la disposición que se hubiere dado al artículo en cuestión.

 59 Stat. 1834 2. Salvo los casos en donde se ha pospuesto el pago según las disposiciones del segundo párrafo del parágrafo precedente, la Administración postal que asume el pago de la indemnización estará autorizada para indemnizar al interesado por cuenta de la Administración que reglamentariamente requerida, ha dejado transcurrir nueve meses sin solucionar el asunto.
Artículo 7. Determinación de la responsabilidad. 1. Hasta prueba en contrario, la responsabilidad corresponderá a la Administratión que, habiendo recibido la encomienda sin observatión alguna y estando en posesión de todos los medios reglamentarios de investigación, no pueda comprobar la disposición de la encomienda. 2. Cuando la pérdida, la expoliación o la avería de una encomienda con valor declarado sea descubierta al abrir el receptáculo en la oficina destinataria de cambio y haya sido señalado a la oficina de cambio expedidora, la responsabilidad corresponderá a la Administración de que dependa la oficina de cambio expedidora, a no ser que se comprueba que la irregularidad ha ocurrido en el servicio de la Administración destinataria. 3. Si la pérdida, expoliación o avería se produce en el curso del transporte, sin que fuere posible comprobar en el territorio o servicio de qué país ocurrió el hecho, las Administraciones en causa soportarán el perjuicio por partes iguales. 4.

En caso de localización ulterior de una encomienda considerada como extraviada, la persona a quien se hubiere pagado la indemnización deberá ser avisada de que puede tomar posesión del envío contra la restitución del monto cobrado.
Artículo 8. Reembolso de la compensation. 1. La Administratión responsable de la pérdida, la expoliación, o la avería o por cuenta de la cual se hubiere efectuado el pago estará obligada a reembolsar al país que haya efectuado el pago, dentro de un plazo de nueve meses a contar del envío de la notificación del pago, el monto de la indemnización efectivamente pagada. 2. El reembolso a la Administración acreedora se efectuará sin gastos para la misma, ya sea mediante un giro postal o cheque en moneda de curso legal en el país acreedor o por cualquier otro medio que se haya convenido mutuamente por correspondencia.
Artículo 9. Acondicionamiento de las encomiendas. 1.

Como en caso de las encomiendas ordinarias, el nombre y dirección del remitente y del destinatario deberá escribirse en carácteres claros y correctos sobre la misma encomienda o sobre un rótulo atado sólidamente a esta última. En los casos de las encomiendas que llevan la dirección inscrita tan solo en el rótulo por 59 Stat. 1836 razones de su forma o tamaño, el nombre y la directión del remitente y destinatario deberán inscribirse, además, por separado, en una faja de papel que deberá incluirse dentro del envío aúnque se recomendará incluir esas fajas también en toda clase del envío.

En cuanto de encomiendas con valor declarado la declaración del valor deberá expresarse en la moneda del país de origen y inscribirse sobre la encomienda en carácteres latinos. El monto de la declaración de valor deberá inscribirse también en la declaración de aduana. 4.

Las encomiendas con valor declarado deberán sellarse mediante de sellos de cera o por cualquier otro medio, aúnque el país destinatario podrá abrirlos a fin de inspeccionar el contenido. Las encomiendas abiertas con ese 59 Stat. 1837 motive han de cerrarse luego y sellarse de oficio.

Cualquiera de las Administraciones podrá exigir que los remitentes utilicen una marca o impresión especial para sellar sus encomiendas con valor declarado, como medida de seguridad.

 5. Las encomiendas con valor declarado deberán ir provistas de una marca, un rótulo o un sello que lleve la mención “Insured” o “Valeur déclarée” (valor declarado) de manera distinguible y clara sobre la cara de la dirección. El número correspondiente al de aseguramiento, se lo pondrá luego a continuación, sobre cada una de las encomiendas. La declaración de aduana, si no estuviere pegada al envío, deberá igualmente marcarse, rotularse o sellarse con la misma mención. 6. Los rótulos o sellos postales colocados sobre las encomiendas con valor declarado deberán espaciarse de tai manera que no puedan esconder ninguna lesión del embalaje. No deberán tampoco colocarse sobre las dos fases del embalaje, de tai manera que cubran el borde.
Artículo 10. Avisos de recibo y reclamaciones. 1. El remitente de una encomienda con valor declarado podrá obtener un aviso de recibo mediante el pago de tai derecho adicional, si hubiere alguno, cual el país de origen de la encomienda exija. 2.

Un derecho podrá ser percibido a juicio de la Administración del país de origen por cada solicitud de información relativa a la dispositión ulterior que se hubiere dado a la encomienda 59 Stat. 1838 con valor declarado intro ducida con posterioridad al deposito de la misma si el expedidor no hubiere pagado ya el derecho especial correspondiente a un aviso de recibo.

También se cobrará un derecho, a juicio del país de origen, por concepto de quej as o irregularidades que se presentaren y que a primera vista no implicaren falta del servicio postal.

 3. Cada vez que se deseare obtener un aviso de recibo, el remitente o la oficina de origen, escribirá o sellará sobre la encomienda, de manera clara, la mención “Se solicite aviso de recibo” o “Se require aviso de entrega” o simplemente las letras “A. R”.
Artículo 11. Intercambio de encomiendas. Las encomiendas con valor declarado deberán encerrarse en sacos separados de aquellos en que se ponen las ordinarias. Los rótulos correspondientes a los sacos que contienen las encomiendas con valor declarado, deberán marcarse con símbolos distintivos y en conformidad con lo que se resolviere oportunamente.
Artículo 12. Inscriptión en las hojas de ruta. 1. Las encomiendas con valor declarado se inscribirán individualmente en hojas de ruta distintas. Los siguientes dates relatives a cada encomienda con valor declarado han de inscribirse en la hoja de ruta: el número de serie del envío asegurado y la oficina (estado o país) de origen, así como la división de peso del envío lo mismo que en caso de las encomiendas ordinarias. 59 Stat. 1839 2. En la entrada de la hoja de ruta correspondiente a una encomienda devuelta o reexpedida se expresará esa circunstancia. 3. Cada oficina de cambio expedidora deberá numerar las hojas de ruta poniendo el número correspondiente en la esquina izquierda superior, comenzándose cada ano una nueva serie, para cada oficina de cambio destinataria. El último número del año deberá mencionarse en la primera hoja de ruta del año siguiente.
Artículo 13. Verificación por las oficinas de cambio. 1.

Al recibo de un despacho de encomiendas con valor declarado, la oficina de cambio destinataria procederá a verificarlo. Las inscripciones en las hojas de ruta serán exactmente verificadas. Cada error u omisión se comunicará inmediatamente a la oficina expedidora mediante un boletín de verificación. Si ningún boletín de verificación se confeccionará, se estimará que el despacho está en buen estado en todos respectos.

Si un error o irregularidad se notare al recibo de un despacho todas las piezas que se relacionen con las investigaciones que se hicieren con posterioridad, o con los exámenes de demandas por el pago de indemnización, serán conservadas.

 2. La oficina de cambio expedidora a la cual se dirija un boletín de verificación lo devolverá lo más rapidamente posible, después de haberlo examinado y de haber mencionado sus observaciones, si hubiere lugar. Los boletines devueltos se anexarán a las hojas de ruta a que se refieran. Se considerarán 59 Stat. 1840 como nulas las correcciones efectuadas en una hoja de ruta sin estar respaldadas por piezas justificativas. 3. La oficina de cambio expedidora podrá además, si el caso así lo requiere, ser avisada por telegrama, por cuenta de la Administratión que lo expida. 4. En caso de falta de una hoja de ruta, se hace confeccionar un duplicado, remitiendo una copia del mismo a la oficina de cambio de origen del despacho. 5.

La oficina de cambio que recibiere de una oficina corresponsal una encomienda insuficientemente embalada o averiada, deberá darle curso después de haberla empacado de nuevo, si hubiere lugar, conservando hasta donde fuere posible el embalaje primitivo.

Si la avería fuere de tai naturaleza que el contenido del envío hubiere podido sustraerse, la oficina deberá proceder ante todo a la apertura de oficio de la encomienda y a la verificatión de su contenido.

En los dos casos el peso de la encomienda deberá comprobarse antes y después del nuevo embalaje y indicarse sobre la envoltura misma de la encomienda. Esta indicatión irá acompañada de la mención “Repacked at . . .” (Reempacada en . . .) junto con la firma de los empleados que hayan efectuado el reempaque.
Artículo 14. Reexpedición. 1. Una encomienda con valor declarado reexpedida dentro del país de destino, o entregada a algún destinatario suplente en la oficina original de destino se 59 Stat. 1841 gravará con tai derechos adicionales cual la Administración destinataria exija, lo mismo que las encomiendas ordinarias. 2. Cuando una encomienda con valor declarado fuere reexpedida a cualquier de los dos países, éste deberá despacharse en la misma clase de correo en que fué recibida, esto es, con valor declarado y nuevos derechos de seguridad podrán ser cobrados si éstos no nubieren sido previamente cubiertos, que se harán efectivos en el momento de entrega, lo mismo que la tasa postal adicional, en beneficio de la Administración que los recaudare y fijare la cuantía. 3.

Las encomiendas con valor declarado no serán reexpedidas no devueltas a otro país, a menos de que sean devueltas como encomiendas con valor declarado.

A menos que los remitentes expresen por escrito su deseo de que las encomiendas con valor declarado no sean reexpedidas a un pais que no sea el país de destinación original, las encomiendas podrán reexpedirse a un tercer pais, siempre que para ellas se observen las formalidades necesarias relativas a despachos de encomiendas con valor declarado.

Las encomiendas con valor declarado podrán ser devueltas al remitente en un tercer país siempre que se exprese ese deseo mediante una anotación sobre la encomienda y siempre que se reexpidan como encomiendas con valor declarado. En los casos de pérdida, expoliación o avería de una encomienda con valor declarado que ha sido reexpedida o devuelta a un tercer país, las indemnizaciones a percibirse deberán sujetarse a las estipulaciones del Artículo 2, parágrafo 5, de este acuerdo.
59 Stat. 1842

[seal] el director general Humberto Diaz coronel de estado mayor luis humberto diaz Director General de Comunicaciones de la República de Guatemala. [seal] Robert E Hannegan Postmaster General of the United States of America. 59 Stat. 1828 PARCEL POST AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. For the purpose of concluding arrangements for the extension of the parcel-post service between the United States of America (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa and the Virgin Islands of the United States) and the Republic of Guatemala, to include the insurance of parcels, the undersigned, Postmaster General of the United States of America, and of the Republic of Guatemala, by virtue of authority vested in them, have agreed upon the following articles:
Article 1. Insurance. 1.

Maximum limit.

 The Administrations of the United States of America (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa, and the U. S. Virgin Islands) on one hand and of the Republic of Guatemala on the other hand, agree to execute the service of parcels with an insured value up to the maximum limit of $100.00, upon payment by the sender of such special additional fees as each of the countries of origin mentioned may establish in its own service. Such additional fees accrue in their entirety to the Administration of origin. 59 Stat. 1829 2. Parcels containing coin, precious

Coin, precious metals, etc.

 metals, jewelry, or other precious articles must be sent insured. 3. Parcels may be insured for their total value or for only part of their total value, at the option of the sender.
Article 2. Indemnity. 1.

Except in the cases mentioned in the article following, the Administrations are responsible for the loss of insured parcels mailed in one of the two contracting countries for delivery in the other and for the loss, abstraction of, or damage to their contents, or a part thereof.

The sender, or other rightful

Compensation.

claimant, is entitled to compensation corresponding to the actual amount of the loss, abstraction or damage. The amount of indemnity is calculated on the basis of the actual value (current price, or, in the absence of current price, the ordinary estimated value) at the place where and the time when the parcel was accepted for mailing, provided in any case that the indemnity may not be greater than the amount for which the parcel was insured and on which the insurance fee has been collected, or the maximum amount of $100.00.

 2. No indemnity is paid for indirect

Indirect damages, etc.

 damages or loss of profits resulting from the loss, rifling, damage, non-delivery, misdelivery, 59 Stat. 1830 or delay of an insured parcel dispatched in accordance with the conditions of the present agreement. 3.

Return of postal charges.

 In the case where indemnity is payable for the loss of a parcel or for the destruction or abstraction of the whole of the contents thereof, the sender is entitled to return of the postal charges, if claimed. However, the insurance fees are not in any case returned. 4.

Loss of transit insured 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, rifling, or damage 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. 5.

Insured parcels reforwarded 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 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 59 Stat. 1831 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. 6. The sender is responsible for

Defects in packing.

 defects in the packing and insufficiency in the closing and sealing of insured parcels. Moreover, the two Administrations are released from all responsibility in case of loss, rifling, or damage caused by defects not noticed at the time of mailing.
Article 3. Exceptions to the principle of responsibility. The Administrations are released from all responsibility: (a) In case of parcels of which the addressee has accepted delivery without reservation. In the case of “in care” parcels, responsibility ceases when delivery has been made to the addressee first mentioned and his receipt has been obtained. (b) In case of loss or damage through force majeure. (c) When, their responsibility not having been proved otherwise, they are unable to account for parcels in consequence of the destruction of official documents through force majeure. 59 Stat. 1832 (d) When the damage has been caused by the fault or negligence of the sender or the addressee or the representative of either, or when it is due to the nature of the article. (e) For parcels which contain prohibited articles. (f) In case the sender of an insured parcel, with intent to defraud, declares the contents to be above their real value; this rule, however, shall not prejudice any legal proceedings necessitated by the legislation of the country of origin. (g) For parcels seized by the Customs because of false declaration of contents. (h) When no inquiry or application for indemnity has been made by claimant or his representative within a year commencing with the day following the posting of the insured parcel. (i) 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; 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 4. Termination of responsibility.

Administrations cease to be responsible for parcels of which they 59 Stat. 1833 have effected delivery in accordance with their internal regulations for parcels of the same nature.

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 5. Payment of indemnity. The obligation to pay compensation, as well as the postage charges due to be refunded, rests with the Administration to which the office of origin of the parcel is subordinate. However, in cases where the compensation is paid to the addressee in accordance with Article 2, Section 1, second paragraph,

Ante, p. 1829.

 the obligation shall rest with the Administration of destination. The paying Administration retains the right to make a claim against the Administration responsible.
Article 6. Period for payment of compensation. 1.

The payment of compensation for an insured parcel shall be made to the rightful claimant as soon as possible and at the latest within a period of one year counting from the day following that on which the application is made.

However, the Administration responsible for making payment may exceptionally defer payment of indemnity for a longer period than that stipulated if, at the expiration of that period, it has not been able to determine the disposition made of the article in question or the responsibility incurred.

 59 Stat. 1834 2. Except in cases where payment is exceptionally deferred as provided in the second paragraph of the foregoing section, the Postal Administration which undertakes payment of compensation is authorized to pay indemnity on behalf of the Office which, after being duly notified of the application for indemnity, has let nine months pass without settling the matter.
Article 7. Fixing of responsibility. 1. Until the contrary is proved, responsibility for an insured parcel rests with the Administration which, having received the parcel without making any reservations and being put in possession of all the regulation means of investigation, cannot establish the 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 has been regularly pointed out to the dispatching exchange office, the responsibility falls on the Administration to which the latter office belongs, unless it be proved that the irregularity occurred in in the service of the receiving Administration. 3. If the loss, rifling, or damage has taken place in the course of transportation, without its being possible to establish on the territory or in the service of which country the act took place, the Offices involved bear the loss in equal shares. 4. The Administration paying compensation takes over, to the extent of the amount paid, the 59 Stat. 1835 rights of the person who has received it, 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, the person to whom compensation has been paid must be informed that he is at liberty to take possession of the parcel against repayment of the amount of compensation.
Article 8. Repayment of compensation. 1. The Administration responsible for the loss, rifling, or damage and on whose account the payment is effected, is bound to repay the amount of the indemnity to the country which has effected payment. This reimbursement must take place without delay and, at the latest, within the period of nine months after notification of payment. 2. These repayments to the creditor Administration must be made without expense for that Office by money order or draft, in money valid in the creditor country, or in any other way to be mutually agreed upon by correspondence.
Article 9. Preparation of parcels. 1.

As in the case of ordinary parcels, the name and address of the sender and of the addressee must be legibly and correctly written in every case, on the parcel itself, when possible, or on a label gummed thereto. In the case of parcels addressed by tag only, because of their shape or size, the name and address of the 59 Stat. 1836 sender and of the addressee must also be written on a separate slip which slip must be enclosed in the parcel, but it is recommended that such address slips be enclosed in all parcels.

Parcels will not be accepted when sent by or addressed to initials, unless the initials are the adopted trade name of the senders or addressees.

The senders of parcels addressed to banks or other organizations for delivery to second addressees will be obliged to state, on the labels or wrappers thereof, the exact names and addresses of the persons for whom such parcels are intended.

Addresses in ordinary pencil are not allowed, but indelible pencil may be used on a previously dampened surface.

 2. As in the case of ordinary parcels, every insured parcel shall be packed in a manner adequate for the protection of the contents and the length of the journey. 3. For insured parcels, the amount of insured value must appear on the parcel in currency of the country of origin and in Roman letters. The amount of the insured value must also be indicated on the customs declaration. 4.

Insured parcels must be closed and securely sealed with wax or otherwise, but the country of destination shall have the right to open them (including the right to break the seals) in order to inspect the contents. Parcels 59 Stat. 1837 which have been so opened shall be closed again and officially sealed.

Either Administration may require a special impress or mark of the sender in the sealing of insured parcels mailed in its service, as a means of protection.

 5. Each insured parcel must be marked or labeled or stamped ‘Insured” or “Valeur déclarée” (valor declarado) in a conspicuous manner on the address side and in close proximity to such indorsement there must appear the insurance number given the parcel. The customs declaration, if not gummed to the parcel, must also be marked or labeled or stamped ‘Insured” or “Valeur declaree” (valor declarado). 6. The labels or stamps on insured parcels must be so placed that they cannot serve to conceal injuries to the covers. They must not be folded over two sides of the cover so as to hide the edge.
Article 10. Return receipts and inquiries. 1. The sender of an insured parcel may obtain an advice of delivery upon payment of such additional charge, if any, as the country of origin of the parcel shall stipulate. 2.

A fee may be charged, at the option of the country of origin, on a request for information as to the disposal of the insured parcel made after it has been posted if the sender has not already paid the 59 Stat. 1838 special fee to obtain an advice of delivery.

A fee may also be charged, at the option of the country of origin, in connection with any complaint of any irregularity which prima facie was not due to the fault of the Postal Service.

 3. When an advice of delivery is desired, the sender or office of origin shall write or stamp on the parcel in a conspicuous manner, the words “Return receipt requested”, “Advice of delivery requested” or, boldly, the letters “A. R.”.
Article 11. Exchange of parcels. Insured parcels shall be inclosed in separate sacks from those in which ordinary parcels are contained and the labels of sacks containing insured parcels shall be marked with such distinctive symbols as may be agreed upon from time to time.
Article 12. Billing of parcels. 1. Insured parcels shall be entered on separate parcel bills and shall be listed individually. The entries shall show in respect to each insured parcel the insurance number and the office (and state or country) of origin as well as an indication of the weight division to which the parcel belongs, the same as in the case of ordinary parcels. 59 Stat. 1839 2. The entry on the bill of any returned or redirected parcel must be followed by the word “Returned” or “Redirected” as the case may be. 3. Each dispatching exchange office shall number the parcel bills in the upper left-hand corner, commencing each year a fresh series for each exchange office of destination. The last number of the year shall be shown on the parcel bill of the first dispatch of the following year.
Article 13. Verification by the exchange office. 1.

Upon receipt of a dispatch of insured parcels, the receiving exchange office proceeds to verify it. The entries in the parcel bill must be verified exactly. Each error or omission must be brought immediately to the knowledge of the dispatching exchange office by means of a bulletin of verification. A dispatch is considered as having been found in order in all regards when no bulletin of verification is made up.

If an error or irregularity is found upon receipt of a dispatch, all objects which may serve later on for investigations, or for examination of requests for indemnity, must be kept.

 2. The dispatching exchange office to which a bulletin of verification is sent, returns it after having examined it and entered thereon its observations, if any. That bulletin is then attached to the parcel bills of the parcels to which it relates. Corrections made on a parcel bill which are 59 Stat. 1840 not justified by supporting papers are considered as devoid of value. 3. If necessary, the dispatching exchange office may also be advised by telegram, at the expense of the office sending such telegram. 4. In case of shortage of a parcel bill, a duplicate is prepared, a copy of which is sent to the exchange office of origin of the dispatch. 5.

The exchange office which receives from a corresponding office a parcel which is damaged or insufficiently packed must redispatch such parcel after repacking, if necessary, preserving the original packing as far as possible.

If the damage is such that the contents of the parcel may have been abstracted, the office must first officially open the parcel and verify its contents.

In either case, the weight of the parcel will be verified before and after repacking, and indicated on the wrapper of the parcel itself. That indication will be followed by the note “Reempacada en . . .” (Repacked at . . .) and the signature of the agents who have effected such repacking.
Article 14. Redirection. 1. An insured parcel redirected within the country of destination or delivered to an alternate addressee at the original office of address shall be liable, the same 59 Stat. 1841 as ordinary parcels, to such additional charges as may be prescribed by the Administration of that country. 2. When an insured parcel is redirected to either country it must be dispatched in the same kind of mails as received, that is, insured, and new insurance fees may, if not prepaid, be collected upon delivery as well as additional postage and retained by the Administration making the collection. The Administration making delivery shall fix the amount of such fees and postage when not prepaid. 3.

Insured parcels shall not be forwarded or returned to another country unless they are forwarded or returned as insured mail.

Unless senders indorse insured parcels to indicate that they do not wish them forwarded to any country other than that of mailing or within the country of original address, they may be forwarded to a third country if they are forwarded as insured mail.

Insured parcels may be returned to the sender in a third country, in accordance with a return address on the parcels, if they can be returned as insured mail. In case of loss, rifling, or damage of an insured parcel forwarded or returned to a third country, indemnity will be paid only in accordance with the stipulations of Article 2, Section 5, of this agreement.
59 Stat. 1842
Article 15. Non-delivery. 1.

An insured parcel which cannot be delivered shall be returned to the sender (in the same kind of mail as received, that is, insured mail) under the same circumstances as in the case of an ordinary parcel which cannot be delivered. New insurance fees, as well as new postage may be collected from the sender and retained by the Administration making the collection.

Insured parcels which cannot be delivered will be subject to the same charges on return as ordinary parcels which are undeliverable.

 2. The Administration of origin shall be notified when an insured parcel which is not delivered or is not returned to the country of origin is disposed of at auction or otherwise.
Article 16. Missent parcels. Missent insured parcels shall not be forwarded to their destination unless they are forwarded as insured mail. If they cannot be forwarded as insured mail, they shall be returned to the country of origin.
59 Stat. 1843
Article 17. Matters not provided for in the agreement. 1. All matters concerning requests for recall or return of insured parcels and obtaining and disposition of return receipts therefor, and the adjustment of indemnity claims in connection therewith, not covered by this agreement, shall be governed by the provisions of the Americo-Spanish Parcel Post Convention and the Universal Postal Union Convention and the Detailed Regulations for its Execution, respectively, in so far as they are applicable and are not inconsistent with the provisions of this agreement, and then, if no other arrangement has been made, the internal legislation, regulations, and rulings of the United States of America and the Republic of Guatemala, according to the country involved, shall govern. 2. The Postmaster General of the United States of America and the of the Republic of Guatemala shall have authority to make from time to time by correspondence, such changes and modifications and further regulations of order and detail as may become necessary to facilitate the operation of the services contemplated by this agreement. 3. The Administrations shall communicate to each other from time to time the provisions of their laws or regulations applicable to the conveyance of parcels by insured mail.
59 Stat. 1844
Article 18. Duration of the Agreement. 1. This agreement shall take effect and operations thereunder shall begin on a date to be mutually settled between the Administrations of the two countries. 2.

It shall remain in force until one of the two contracting Administrations has given notice to the other, six months in advance, of its intention to terminate it.

Either Administration may temporarily suspend the insured service in whole or in part, when there are special reasons for doing so, or restrict it to certain offices; but on condition that previous and opportune notice of such a measure is given to the other Administration, such notice to be given by the most rapid means, if necessary.

 3.

On the effective date of the insurance service provided for by this agreement, the exchange of registered parcels provided by the Americo-Spanish Parcel Post Agreement will be discontinued.

All Naval, Military and air forces west of the line on the attached map [1]1[A copy of this map is attached to the inside back cover of this volume.] will be placed under his command from the moment at which this agreement comes into force. Yugoslav forces in the area must be limited to a detachment of regular troops not exceeding 2000 of all ranks. These troops will be maintained by the Supreme Allied Commander’s administrative services. They will occupy a district selected by the Supreme Allied Commander west of the dividing line and will not be allowed access to the rest of the area. 3. Using an Allied Military Government, the Supreme Allied Commander will govern the areas west of the line on the attached map [1]1[A copy of this map is attached to the inside back cover of this volume.], Pola and such other areas on the west coast of Istria as he may deem necessary. A small Yugoslav Mission may be attached to the Headquarters of the Eighth Army as observers. Use will be made of any Yugoslav civil administration which is already set up and which in the view of the Supreme Allied Commander is working satisfactorily. The Allied Military Government will, however, be empowered to use whatever civil authorities they deem best in any particular place and to change administrative personnel at their discretion. 4. Marshal Tito will withdraw the Yugoslav regular forces now in the portion of Venezia Giulia west of the line on the attached map [1]1[A copy of this map is attached to the inside back cover of this volume.] as well as those in the town and vicinity of Pola by 08 hours GMT, June 12th 1945 Arrangements for the retention of the Yugoslav detachment referred to in paragraph 2 will be worked out between the Supreme Allied Commander and the Yugoslav High Command. 5. Any irregular forces in this area will, according to the decision of the Supreme Allied Commander in each case, either hand in their arms to the Allied Military authorities and disband, or withdraw from the area. 6. The Yugoslav Government will return residents of the area whom they have arrested or deported with the exception of persons who possessed Yugoslav nationality in 1939, and make restitution of property they have confiscated or removed. 59 Stat. 1856 7. This agreement in no way prejudices or affects the ultimate disposal of the parts of Venezia Giulia west of the line. Similarly the military occupation and administration by Yugoslavia of the parts of Venezia Giulia east of the line in no way prejudices or affects the ultimate disposal of that area.

Excellency:

I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the United States Government would view with favor an arrangement for the extension of the free importation privileges on a strict basis of reciprocity, to American Consular officers and clerks in the Mission and Consular offices, assigned to Haiti; and to Haitian Consular officers and clerks in the Mission and Consular offices, assigned to the United States.

It is proposed that, in addition to the free entry of personal baggage and effects upon arrival and upon return to their posts in the United States after visits abroad, which Haitian consular officers already enjoy, such officers and the clerks in the Mission and Consular offices, who are Haitian nationals and not engaged in any private occupation for gain, on a basis of reciprocity, would be accorded the privilege of importing free of duty articles for their personal use at any time during the period that they exercise essential government functions in the United States, on the understanding that no article, the importation of which is prohibited by the laws of the United States, should be imported by them.

The arrangement would likewise provide that American Consular officers and clerks in the Mission and Consular offices, who are nationals of the United States and not engaged in any private occupation for gain, would be accorded in Haiti the privileges as set forth above.

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

Commission, si elle le juge bon, de prendre des mesures pour attirer sur ces besoins l’attention des gouvernements, des organisations et des personnalités qui désirent contribuer à cette oeuvre à l’aide de fonds, de fournitures ou de services, afin que les donateurs puissent apporter une assistance coordonnée aux pays qui en ont besoin, soit directement, soit indirectement par l’intermédiaire des organisations internationales de secours existantes. 8.– La Commission nommera un Secrétaire exécutif, celui-ci avec le personnel international nécessaire, exercera les pouvoirs et remplira les fonctions qui seront déterminés par la Commission.
