Introductory Note From time to time the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has been requested to furnish information concerning arbitrations to which the United States has been a party, and the frequency of these requests leads to the conclusion that a statement of the arbitrations with a minimum of details and appropriate references would not only be of general interest, but would advance the cause of arbitration by showing how frequently and successfully it has been resorted to. The pamphlet has therefore been prepared for the purpose of giving in brief and summary form the arbitrations to which the United States has been a party. It has been thought advisable to include diplomatic settlements which are in the nature of arbitral adjustments. References are given under each case to various publications which the student or reader may consult for more detailed information. A summary showing the pecuniary awards rendered is given at the close of the pamphlet. JAMES BROWN SCOTT, Director of the Division of International Law. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1, 1914.
