which were negotiated but not ratified by the Government of the United States. The treaties establishing friendly relations specified what rights, privileges, etc., were asserted at the time of their negotiation, without, however, excluding those not specifically claimed. It has, therefore, been considered advisable to set forth in full the instruments under which the United States does or may prefer claims and they are therefore printed in the appendix. The other treaties resulting from the negotiations during the Paris Peace Conference are printed in a second appendix, in so far as they were signed by representatives of the United States.
