Description
Coolidge's December message opens the 1923 volume. He asks the Senate to join the World Court's protocol. Gun elevation on kept battleships stirs talks with two powers. America refuses the old arms trade pact. Its delegates join talks on warfare's rules instead. Opium traffic work proceeds with the League's committee. A new trade rule is adopted in these files. Unconditional most-favored-nation treatment becomes policy. Liquor smuggling then fills the longest run. Treaties would let officers search ships near shore. Ottawa talks with Canada pursue the same end.
A mid-volume warning goes to Bolivia. Pay the bond contract, or credit collapses, it says. Final bonds must reach holders before May. The volume mixes courts, cargoes, and rum-runners.
