The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain ( Hammond )

26. The Department handed the Spanish Ambassador on March 12, a draft of a proposed Treaty of Arbitration between the United States and Spain. The provisions of the draft operate to extend the policy of arbitration enunciated in the Root Treaty of April 20, 1908, which expired June 2, 1923. The language of the draft is identical in effect with that of the arbitration treaty recently signed with France and with the draft arbitration treaties already submitted to the Norwegian, British, Japanese, Italian and German Governments.54 The text of the proposed treaty will be forwarded in the next pouch.55
