The Secretary of State to the Minister in Austria (Washburn)
23. Department handed Austrian Minister March 23 a draft of a proposed treaty of arbitration between the United States and Austria. The provisions of the draft operate to extend the policy of arbitration enunciated in the Convention which was signed at Washington January 15, 1909,6 but is not now in force and are identical in effect with the provisions of the arbitration treaty signed between the United States and France on February 6, 1928,7 and with draft arbitration treaties submitted to the Spanish, British, Japanese, Italian, Norwegian, Hungarian, German, Portuguese, Danish and Dutch Governments.8
Department also handed to the Minister draft of treaty of similar purport to the so-called Bryan treaties.9
The text of these proposed treaties will be forwarded in next pouch.10
