Description
Volume II of 1926 opens in Colombia. A trade treaty is drafted but stalls. The Colon fire claims will not be arbitrated, Bogotá says. Border disputes crowd the early list. Colombia faces Peru; Costa Rica faces Panama. Cuba then signs a cluster of pacts. Liquor smuggling wins two conventions in March. Consular and extradition deals follow within weeks. The Dominican Republic floats a new bond issue. Egypt's files guard American diggers' rights. Consular courts there judge British seamen, London protests.
A mid-volume file traces a Japanese firm's debts. Takata bought American electrical goods on credit. Much of it served Japanese government contracts. New York banks now hold the paper. The volume joins customs houses to courtrooms. Trade's failures fill its back pages.
