Calvin Coolidge By the President: Frank B Kellogg *Secretary of State*. 2068 [ANNEX]Annex. PAN AMERICAN SANITARY CODEWashington Sanitary Convention.Articles in force.*Ante*, p. 2041. Articles of the Sanitary Convention of Washington which are to Continue in Toro® by Chapter XI Article V. Prompt notifications;Vol. 35, p. 2096. The prompt and faithful execution Of the preceding provisions is of the very first importance. The notifications only have a real value if each government is warned in time of eases of plague, cholera or yellow fever and of suspicious cases of those diseases supervening in its territory. It cannot then be too strongly recommended to the various governments io make obligatory the declaration of cases of plague, cholera or yellow fever, and of giving information of all unusual mortality of rats and mice especially in ports. Article VI. Direct information.Vol. 35, p. 2096. It is understood that neighboring countries reserve to themselves the riglit to make special arrangements with a view of organizing a service of direct information between the chiefs of administration upon the frontiers. Article XIII. Merchandise in transit.Vol. 36, p. 2098. In the case of cholera and plague there is no reason to forbid the transit through an infected district of merchandise, and the objects specified in Nos. 1 and 2 of the preceding article if they are so packed that they cannot have been exposed to infection in transit. In like manner, when merchandise or objects are so transported that, in transit, they cannot come in contact with soiled objects, their transit across an infected territorial area should not be an obstacle to their entry into the country of destination. Article XIV. Articles not prohibited.Vol. 35, p. 2098. The entry of merchandise and objects specified in Nos. 1 and 2 of Article XII should not be prohibited, if it can be shown to the authorities of the country of destination that they were shipped at least five days before the beginning of the epidemic. Article XV. Destruction of rats and mosquitoes.Vol. 35, p. 2098. The method and place of disinfection, as well as the measures to be employed for the destruction of rats, and mosquitoes, are to be fixed by authority of the country of destination, upon arrival at said destination. These operations should be performed in such a manner as to cause the least possible injury to the merchandise. It devolves upon each country to determine questions relative to the payment of damages resulting from disinfection, or from the destruction of rats or mosquitoes. If taxes are levied by a sanitary authority, either directly or through the agency of any company or agent, to insure measures for the destruction of rats and mosquitoes on board ships, the amount of these taxes ought to be fixed by a tariff published in advance, and the result of these measures should not be a source of profit for either state or sanitary authorities. Article XVI. Letters, correspondent», etc.Vol. 35, p.2098. Letters and correspondence, printed matter, books, newspapers, busmess papers, etc., (postal parcels not included), are not to be submitted to any restriction or disinfection. In case of yellow fever postal parcels are not to be subjected to any restrictions or disinfection. Article XVII. Merchandise at frontier ports.Vol. 35, p. 2098. Merchandise, arriving by land or by sea, should not be detained permanently at frontiers or in ports. Measures which it is permissible to prescribe with respect to them are specified in Article 12. Nevertheless, when merchandise, arriving by sea in bulk
(vrac)or in defective packages, is contaminated by pest-stricken rats during the passage, and is in-capable of being disinfected, the destruction of the germs may be assured by putting said merchandise in a warehouse for a period to be decided by the sanitary authorities of the port of arrival. It is to be understood that the application of this last measure should not entail delay upon any vessel nor extraordinary expenses resulting from the want of warehouses in ports. Article XVIII. Certificate to owner.Vol. 35, p. 3098. When merchandise has been disinfected by the application of the measures prescribed in Article 12, or put temporarily in warehouses in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 17, the owner, or his representative, has the right to demand from the sanitary authority which has ordered kuch disinfection, or storage, a certificate setting forth the measures taken. Article XXV. Certificate of rat destruction .Vol. 35, p. 3101. The sanitary authorities of the port must deliver to the captain, the owner, or his agent, whenever a demand for it is made, a certificate setting forth that the measures for the destruction of rats have been efficacious and indicating the reasons why these measures have been applied. Article XXX. Emigrant ships.Vol. 35, p. 2101. Special measures may be prescribed in regard to crowded ships, notably emigrant ships, or any other ship presenting bad hygienic conditions. 2069 Article XXXII. Ships coming from a contaminated port, which have beenDisinfected ships from contaminated ports.Vol. 36, p. 2102. disinfected and which may have been subjected to sanitary measures applied in an efficient manner, shall not undergo a second time the same measures upon their arrival at a new port, provided that no new case shall have appeared since the disinfection was practiced, and that the ships have not touched in the mean-tune at an infected port. When a ship only disembarks passengers and their baggage, or the mails without having been in communication with terra iirma, it is not to be considered as having touched at a port, provided that in the cose of yellow fever it has not approached sufficiently near the shore to permit the access of mosquitoes. Article XXXIII. Passengers arriving on an infected ship have the right to Certificates to passengers.Vol. 35, p. 2102.demand of the sanitary authority of the port a certificate showing the date of their arrival and the measures to which they and their baggage have been subjected. Article XXXIV. Packet boats shall be subjected to special regulations, to Packet boats.be established by mutual agreement between the countries in interest. Article XXXVII. Land quarantines should no longer be established, but the Temporary detentions.Vol. 35, p. 2100.governments reserve the right to establish camps of observation if they should be though necessary for the temporary detention of suspects. This principle does not exclude the right for each country to close a part of its frontier in case of necessity. Article XXXVIII. It is important that travelers should be submitted to a Railroad surveillance.Vol. 35, p. 2100.surveillance on the part of the personnel of railroads, to determine their condition of health. Article XXXIX. Medical intervention is limited to a visit (inspection) with the Medical Intervention.Vol. 35, p. 2133.taking of temperature of travelers, and the succor to be given to those actually sick. If this visit is made, it should be combined as much as possible with the customhouse inspection to the end that travelers may be detained as short a time as possible. Only persons evidently sick should be subjected to a searching medical examination. Article XL. As soon as travelers, coming from an infected locality, shall have Travelers from infected districts.Vol. 35, p. 2103.arrived at their destination, it would be of the greatest utility to submit them to a surveillance which should not exceed ten or five days, counting from the date of departure, the time depending upon whether it is a question of plague or cholera. In case of yellow fever the period should be six days. Article XLI. Governments may reserve to themselves the right to take particular Emigrants, etc.Vol. 35, p. 2103.measures in regard to certain classes of persons, notably vagabonds, emigrants and persons traveling or passing the frontier in bands. Article XLII. Coaches intended for the transportation of passengers and mails Passenger and mail ears.Vol. 35, p. 2103.should not bo retained at frontiers. In order to avoid this retention a system of relays ought to be established at frontiers, with transfer of passengers, baggage and mails. If one of these carriages be infected or shall have been occupied by a person suffering from plague, chlorea or yellow fever, it shall be detached from the train for disinfection at the earliest possible moment. Article XLIII. Measures concerning the passing of frontiers by the personnel Railroad and postal personnel.Vol. 35, p. 2103.of railroads and of the Post Office are a matter for agreement of the sanitary authorities concerned. These measures should be so arranged as not to hinder the service. Article XLIV.

Article 40. Undelivered articles.*Envois tombés en rebut.* 1.—Method of treating. Avant de renvoyer à l’Office d’origine les correspondances non distribuées pour un motif quelconque, le bureau de destination doit indiquer d’une manière claire et concise, en langue française, au recto de ces objets, la cause do la nonremise sous la forme suivante: inconnu, refusé, en voyage, parti, non réclamé, décédé, ou un mot similaire. Cette indication est fournie par l’application d’un timbre ou l’apposition d’une étiquette. Chaque Office a la faculté d’ajouter la traduction, dans sa propre langue, de la cause de nonremise et les autres indications qui lui conviennent. Le bureau de destination doit biffer le lieu de la première destination et apposer la mention “Retour” à côté de l’empreinte2301 du timbre à date du bureau d’origine. 11 doit, en outre, appliquer son timbre à date au verso des lettres et au recto des cartes postales. 2.— Le renvoi des correspondancesReturn. tombées en rebut se fait soit isolément, soit en une liasse spéciale étiquetée “ Rebuts”. Les correspondances recommandées tombées en rebut sont renvoyées au bureau d’échange du pays d’origine comme s’il s’agissait de correspondances recommandées à diriger sur ce pays. Par exception, deux Offices correspondants peuvent, d’un commun accord, adopter un autre mode de renvoi des rebuts. 3.— Si des correspondancesDomestic mail rottimed from abroad. mises à la poste dans un pays et adressées à l’intérieur de ce même pays ont pour expéditeurs des personnes habitant un autre pays et doivent par suite de mise en rebut être, renvoyées à l’étranger pour être rendues aux expéditeurs, elles deviennent des envois de l’échange international et sont traitées d’après les dispositions concernant la réexpédition. 4.— Les correspondances pourMail for seamen. les marins et autres personnes, adressées aux soins d’un Consul et l’en dues par celui-ci au bureau de poste local comme non réclamées, doivent être traitées de la manière prescrite pour les rebuts en général. Le montant des taxes perçues à la charge du Consul sur ces correspondances doit en même temps lui être restitué par le bureau de poste local. Article 41. *Retrait des correspondances etWithdrawals, etc. modification d’adresse.* 1.— Les demandes de retrait deRequests to be made. correspondances ou de modifications d’adresses donnent lieu à l’établissement par l’expéditeur d’une formule conforme au modèle J ciannexé. En remettant cette demande au bureau de poste, l’expéditeur doit justifier de son identité et produire, s’il y a lieu, le bulletin de dépôt. Après la justification, dont l’Ad2302 ministration du pays d’origine assume la responsabilité, il est procédé de la manière suivante: *a*) By mail. si la demande est destinée à être transmise par voie postale, la formule, accompagnée d’un facsimilé parfait do l’enveloppe ou de la suseription de l’envoi, est expédiée directement, sous pli recommandé, au bureau destinataire: *b*) By telegraph. si la demande doit être faite par voie télégraphique, la formule est déposée au service télégraphique chargé d’en transmettre les termes au bureau de poste destinataire. Le télégramme est rédigé en langue française. 2.—Confirmation. S’il s’agit d’une rectification d’adresse, la demande télégraphique doit être confirmée, par le premier courrier, par une demande postale accompagnée du facsimilé précité. 3.—Searches. A la réception de la formule J ou du télégramme en tenant lieu, le bureau destinataire recherche la correspondance signalée et donne à la demande la suite nécessaire. Toutefois, s’il s’agit d’un changement d’adresse demandé par voie télégraphique, le bureau destinataire se borne à retenir l’envoi et attend, pour faire droit à la demande, l’arrivée du facsimilé nécessaire. Si la recherche est infructueuse, si l’envoi a déjà été remis au destinataire, ou si la demande par voie télégraphique n’est pas assez explicite pour permettre do reconnaître sûrement l’envoi, le fait est signalé immédiatement au bureau d’origine, qui on prévient le réclamant. 4.—Exchange of requests with Administrations. Toute Administration peut exiger, par une notification adressée au Bureau international, que l’échange des demandes en ce qui le concerne, soit effectué par l’entremise de son Administration centrale ou d’un bureau spécialement désigné. Dans les cas où l’échange des demandes s’effectue par l’entremise des Administrations centrales, il doit être tenu compte des demandes expédiées directe2303 ment par les bureaux d’origine aux bureaux de destination, dans ce sens que les correspondances y relatives sont exclues de la distri bution jusqu’à l’arrivée de la demande de l’Administration centrale. Les Administrations qui usent de la faculté prévue par le premier alinéa du présent paragraphe prennent à leur charge les frais que peut entraîner la transmission, dans leur service intérieur, par voie postale ou télégraphique, des communications à échanger avec le bureau destinataire. Le recours à la voie télégraphique est obligatoire lorsque F expéditeur a luimême fait usage de cette voie et que le bureau destinataire ne peut pas être prévenu en temps utile par la voie postale. Article 42. *Simple collection d’adresse.* Une simple correction d’adresseSimple corrections.

La transmission s’efiectue d’office, sans aucune écriture; *c*) le bureau correspondant fait présenter la formule au destinataire ou à l’expéditeur, selon le2304 cas, pour recueillir les renseignements qu’elle comporte; *d*) la formule dûment complétée est renvoyée d’office au bureau qui l’a dressée; *e*) si la réclamation est reconnue fondée, elle est transmise à F Administration centrale pour servir de base aux investigations ultérieures. 2— Toute Administration peut exiger, par une notification adressée au Bureau international, que les réclamations qui concernent son service soient transmises à son Administration centrale ou à un bureau spécialement désigné. Article 44. *Réclamations. Envois recomr mandés.* 1.—Registered articles. Toute réclamation relative à un envoi recommandé est établie sur une formule conforme ou analogue au modèle I ciannexé et transmise en règle générale par le bureau d’origine directement au bureau do destination. 2.—Course of inquiry. Toutefois, les Offices d’origine et de destination peuvent, d’un commun accord, faire transmettre la réclamation de bureau à bureau en suivant la même voie d’acheminement que l’envoi. 3.—Action by office of destination. Dans le cas prévu au § 1 ci-dessus, le bureau destinataire, s’il est en état de fournir les renseignements sur le sort définitif del’envoie, complète la formule et la retourne au Bureau d’origine. Lorsque le sort de l’envoi ne peut être immédiatement établi par le bureau do destination, celui-ci constate le fait sur la formule et la réexpédie au bureau d’origine en y ajoutant une déclaration du destinataire constatant qu’il n’a pas reçu l’envoi. Dans ce cas, l’Office d’origine complète la formule en y indiquant les données de la transmission au Premier Office intermédiaire. Il adresse ensuite à ce dernier Office, qui y consigne ses observations et la transmet éventuellement à l’Office suivant. La ré2305 clamation passe ainsi d’Office à Office jusqu’à ce que le sort de l’envoi réclamé soit établi. L’Office qui a effectué la remise au destinataire, ou qui, le cas échéant, ne peut établir, ni la remise, ni la transmission régulière à une autre Administration, constate le fait sur la formule et la renvoie à l’Office d’origine. 4.— Dans le cas prévu au § 2In instigations through the various Administrations. ci-dessus, les recherches se poursuivent depuis l’Office d’origine jusqu’à l’Office de destination. Chaque Office établit sur la formule les données de la transmission à l’Office suivant et l’envoie ensuite à celui-ci. L’Office qui a effectué la remise au destinataire, ou qui, le cas échéant, ne peut établir ni la remise, ni la transmission régulière à une autre Administration, constate également le fait sur la formule et la renvoie à l’Office d’origine. 5.— La formule I doit indiquerDetails on inquiry form. l’adresse complète du destinataire et être accompagnée, autant que possible, d’un facsimilé de 1 enveloppe ou de la su script ion de l’envoi. Elle est transmise d’office sans lettre d’envoi sous enveloppe fermée. 6. Chaque Office peut demander,Transmittal to special office, etc. par une notification adressée au Bureau international, que les réclamations qui concernent son service soient transmises, soit à son Administration centrale, soit à un bureau spécialement désigné, ou, s’il est seulement intéressé à titre d’intermédiaire, au bureau d’échange auquel l’envoi a été expédié. La formule I et les pièces y annexées doivent, dans tous les cas, faire retour à l’Office d’origine do l’envoi réclamé, dans un délai qui ne peut excéder six mois à partir de la date do la réclamation. Ce délai est porté à neuf mois dans les relations avec les pays d’outre-mer. 2306 7.—Rifling of mails, etc. Les dispositions qui précèdent ne s’appliquent pas aux cas de spoliation de dépêche, manque de dépêche ou autres cas semblables qui comportent une correspondance plus étendue entre les Administrations.

When closed mails are sentClosed mails forwarded by merchant ships. by one Administration to another, to be forwarded by means2310 of merchant ships, the number or weight of the letters and other articles must bo indicated on the letter bill and in the address of such mails when the Administration charged with assuring the embarkation of such mails so requests. Article 47. Transmission.*Transmission of registered articles.* 1. Making up in separate packets. Registered articles, and, if necessary, the special lists mentioned in Section 5 of the preceding Article, are made up into one or several separate packets or sacks, which must be suitably wrapped or closed and sealed with wax or lead in such a manner as to protect the contents. The registered articles are arranged in each packet according to their entry numbers. When several detached lists are used, each of them is tied up with the registered articles to which it relates. In no case may registered articles be mixed with ordinary correspondenee. 2. Special envelope to be attached, ete. To the outside of the packet of registered articles is attached by means of a. crossed string, the special envelope containing the letter bill, when the registered articles are contained in a sack, the said envelope is tied to the neck of the sack; but, in such a case, the articles which, according to the provisions of the present Regulations, must be inserted in the envelope containing the letter bill, are placed inside the sack. If there is more than one packet or sack of registered articles, each one of the supplementary packets or sacks is provided with a label indicating the nature of its contents. 3. Packing, etc. The manner of packing and transmission of registered articles provided for above applies only to ordinary relations. For important relations, it is incumbent upon the Administrations con2311 cerned to draw up special provisions by common consent. In either case, exceptional measures must be taken by the exchange offices when they have to assure the transmission of registered articles which, by their number, nature, form, or volume, are not able to be included in the dispatch of ordinary articles. Article 48. *Transmission of special-delivery articles.* 1. Ordinary special-delivery articlesTransmission of special delivery articles. are tied together in a special bundle and inserted, by the exchange offices, in the envelope containing the letter bill which accompanies the dispatch. A label placed in this bundle indicates, it necessary, the presence in the dispatch of articles of correspondence of this kind which, by reason of their number, form, or dimensions, can not bo attached to the letter bill. Such correspondence is united in one or more separate bundles, provided with a label bearing in large characters the note “Exprès” (Special Delivery), and inserted in the sack containing the letter bill. 2. Registered special-delivery articles are arranged, in their order, among the other registered articles, and the note “Exprès” is placed in the “Observations” column of the letter bill, after the entry of each of them. Article 49. *Making up of dispatches.*Making up of mails. 1. As a general rule, the articlesBundles of classes. are classed and tied in bundles according to the nature of the correspondence, letters and post cards being included in the same bundle, and newspapers and periodicals being made up inte packets apart from those con2312 taining the ordinary prints. Letters, post cards, and prints of small dimensions shall be arranged in the direction of the address. Prepaid articles are separated from those which are unprepaid or short paid, and the labels of the bundles of articles which are unprepaid or short paid, are, as far as possible, marked with the T stamp. Letters bearing traces of opening, deterioration, or damage shall be marked with a mention of the fact and marked with the date stamp of the office which has detected it. Money orders sent open are tied in a separate packet. 2. Closed sacks, etc. Dispatches are inclosed in sacks suitably closed, sealed with wax, or lead, and labeled. The labels of such dispatches must be of cloth, strong cardboard, or parchment, or of paper pasted on a wooden block. They must indicate, in a clear manner, the office of origin and that of destination, and, in relations with oversea countries, the date of dispatch and the number of the dispatch, and, when the Administrations concerned so request, the port of debarkation. In relations between adjacent offices, use may be made of labels of strong paper. The sacks shall indicate, in a legible manner, the office or country of origin and, as far as possible, shall bear a number. 3. Unimportant matter. Barring contrary agreement, unimportant or negative dispatches are simply ’wrapped in strong paper in such a manner as to avoid all harm to the contents, then tied and sealed with wax or lead. They are provided with a printed address bearing, in small characters, the name of the dispatching office, and, in larger characters, the name of the office of destination: “From_ _ _ _ _ _ _for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.” 4. It more than one sack required. When the number or volume of the mails requires the employment of more than one sack,2313 separate sacks must be used ai far as possible. (*a*) For letters and post cards: (*b*) For other articles. Without regard to the numbei or volume of the mails, separate; sacks must likewise be employed as far as possible when the Administration of one of the intermediary countries or of the country of destination so requests. When use is made of separate sacks, each of them must bear a note indicating its contents. The packet or sack of registered articles is placed in one of the sacks of letters or in a sack bearing a label similar to that of the letters. The sack inclosing the letter bill is designated by the letter “F” traced plainly on the label. 5. The weight of each sackMaximum weight of sacks. must not exceed 30 kilograms. Article 50. *Delivery of dispatches.*Delivery. 1. The delivery of dispatchesUnder prescribed conditions. between two corresponding offices is effected in accordance with the conditions prescribed by the Administrations concerned. 2. The dispatches must be deliveredCondition. in good condition. However, a dispatch may not be refused because of damage. 3. When a dispatch is receivedRewrapping by intermediary office if in bad condition. in bad condition by an intermediary office, it shall be rewrapped, preserving the original packing. The office which effects the rewrapping shall apply to the label of the dispatch an imprint of its date stamp, preceded by the note: “Remballé à_ _ _ _ ” (rewrapped at _ _ _ _ _ _). Article 51. *Verification of dispatches.*Verification. 1. When an intermediary officeBy intermediary office when rewrapping. must proceed to yewrap ’ a dispatch, it verifies the contents thereof if there is reason to suppose that they have not remained intact. 2314 It makes up a bulletin of verification on Form G hereto appended, complying with the provisions of Section 3 hereafter. This bulletin is sent to the exchange office from which the dispatch was received; a copy is addressed to the office of origin and another is inserted in the rewrapped dispatch. 2. By office of destination. The office of destination verifies whether the dispatch is intact, and whether the entries on the letter bill, and on the special lists of registered articles if any, are correct. In case of shortage of the dispatch, of sacks, of the letter bill, of a special list of registered articles, or when it is a question of any other irregularity, the fact is established at once by two persons. The latter make the necessary corrections on the letter bills, taking care to strike out the erroneous items with a stroke of the pen in such a manner as to allow the original entries to be recognized. Except in case of an evident error, the corrections prevail over the original declaration. 3. Bulletin of verification to be sent. The facts established are pointed out to the office or origin of the dispatch, and to the last intermediary office, if any, by the first mail, by means of a bulletin of verification. The indications of this bulletin must specify as exactly as possible of what sack, packet, or article it is a question. Duplicate when demanded.A duplicate of the bulletin of verification is sent, under the same conditions as the original, to the Administration to which the office of origin of the dispatch belongs, when that Administration so demands. The sack or envelope and the wax or lead seal of the packet or sack of registered articles, and, if that Ïiacket or sack has not been ound, the letter sack, with the string, label, and wax or lead seal of that sack are attached to the bulletin of verification. In the exchange with Administrations which require the sending of a duplicate, the supporting evidence mentioned above is attached to the duplicate. 2315 The bulletin of verification and the duplicates are sent under registered cover. In the eases contemplated by Sections 1 and 2 of the present Article, the office of origin and the last intermediary exchange office, if any, may also be advised by telegram at the expense of the Administration sending the telegram. 4. When the absence of a dispatchWhen sending of bulletin not required. is the result of a lack of connection between mails, or when it is duly explained on the waybill, the preparation of the bulletin of verification contemplated by Sections 1 and 2 is not necessary if the dispatch roaches the office of destination by the next mail. The sending of the duplicate provided for by section 3 may be deferred if it is presumed that the shortage of the dispatch is due to a delay or to misdirection. When a dispatch, the absence of which had been pointed out to the office of origin and the last intermediary exchange office, if any, is located, it is necessary to send to the said offices a second bulletin of verification announcing the receipt of that mail. 5. The offices to which theReturn of bulletin from receiving office. bulletins of verification contemplated by the present Article are addressed return them as soon as possible after having examined them and after having mentioned thereon their observations, if any. 6. When a receiving office uponPresumption of correct mail if no bulletin sent. which the verification of the dispatch was incumbent has not sent to tho office of origin, and to the last intermediary exchange office, if any, by the next mail after the verification, a bulletin pointing out any irregularities, it is considered as having received the dispatch and its contents until the cont rary is proved. The same presumption exists for irregularities the mention of which has been omitted or pointed out in an incomplete manner in the bulletin of verification. 2316 Article 52. Empty sacks.*Return of empty sacks.* 1. Provisions for prompt return. The sacks must be returned empty to the country of origin by the next mail, barring contrary agreement between the corresponding Admin istrations, and the number of sacks returned by each mail shall be entered under the “Indications of Service” heading of the letter bill. The return is effected between the exchange offices designated for that purpose. The empty sacks must be rolled up and tied together in suitable bundles; the label blocks, if any, must be placed on the inside of the sacks. The bundles must be provided with a label indicating the name of the exchange office from which the sacks have been received whenever they are returned through the intermediary of another exchange office. If the empty sacks to bo returned are not too numerous, they may be placed within the sacks containing the correspondence; if this can not be done they must be placed separately in sealed sacks labeled with the names of the respective exchange offices. The labels must bear the note; “Sacs Vidos” (empty sacks). 2. Administration to have control of its sacks. With the aid of the entries made under the heading “Indications of Service” of the letter biff, each Administration may exercise, in its service, a control over the return of the sacks which belong to it. In case that such control shows that 10 per cent of the total number of sacks used during a year for the preparation of dispatches have not been returned before the end of that year, the Administration which can not prove the return of the empty sacks is bound to reimburse the dispatching Administration for the value of the missing sacks. The reim2317 bursement must also be made if the number of missing sacks does not reach 10 per cent out exceeds 50 sacks. Each Administration fixes, periodically,Average value to be fixed. and uniformly for all kinds of sacks which are used by its exchange offices, an average value in francs, and communicates it to the Administrations concerned through the intermediary of the International Bureau. Title VII PROVISIONS CONCERNING TRANSIT AND WAREHOUSINGTransit and warehousing charges CHARGES. Chapter I. statistical operations. Article 53. *Transit cost statistics.* 1. The transit charges collectibleTransit cost statistics, once every five years. under Article 70 and the following Articles of the Convention arc computed on the basis of statistics taken once every five years, during the first 28 days of the month of May or during the 28 days following the 14th of October alternately. The statistics of October-November, 1924, will apply to the Seam 1924 to 1928, inclusive, it eing understood that, up until October 1, 1925, the effective date of the present Convention, the transit charges provided by Article 4 of the Madrid Convention will remain in force. The statistics of May, 1929, will apply to the years 1929 to 1933, inclusive, and so on. 2. In the event of adhesion toUpon adhesion of another country. the Union by a country having important postal relations, the countries of the Union whose situation might, as a result of that circumstance, find itself modified in regard to the payment of transit charges, have the option of demanding a special set of2318 statistics relating exclusively to the country which has just entered the Union. 3. Upon important modifications in traffic, etc. When an important modification in the traffic of correspondence is produced, and provided that such modification affects a period or periods amounting to a total of 12 months at least, the Administrations concerned come to an agreement for the purpose of revising their transit charge accounts. In this case, the sums to be paid by the dispatching Administrations are either increased or diminished or else divided proportionately to the intermediary services actually employed, but the total weights which serve as the basis of the new accounts must normally be the same as those of the dispatches sent during the statistical period mentioned in Section 1. If necessary, special statistics may be taken in order to adjust the apportionment of those weights among the various services employed. No mollification in the traffic of correspondence is considered as important unless it affects by more than 5,000 francs per year the accounts between two Administrations, each transit country being taken separately. Exceptionally, the making up of special statistics may also be demanded for the fixing of new total weights which shall serve as the basis of new accounts when there is an increase of 100 per cent or a decrease of 50 per cent at least in the total weights of the mails conveyed, and when the new accounts would consequently undergo a modification of more than 5,000 francs per year. Article 54. *Making up of closed mails during the statistical period.* 1. Making up of closed mails during statistical period. During each statistical period, the exchange of correspondence in closed mails between two Administrations of the Union or2319 between an Administration of the Union and an Administration outside of the Union, across the territory or by means of the services of one or several other Administrations, gives rise to the employment of separa te sacks or packets for “letters and cards” and for “other articles,” These sacks or packets must bo provided, respectively, with labels, “L, C.”and“A, 0,” When the volume of the dispatches permits, the separate packets or sacks may be united in a single collecting sack, which must be labeled “S. C.” 2. By derogation of the provisionsOptional inclusion of specified articles. of Articles 47 and 48 above, each Administration has the option, during the statistical period, of including the registered articles and special delivery articles other than letters and post cards in one of the sacks or packets intended for “other articles,” making mention of that fact on the letter bill; but if, in accordance with the said Articles 47 and 48, those articles are included in a sack or packet of letters, they are treated, in so far as concerns the statistics of weight, as forming part of the dispatch of letters. 3. During the statistical period,Sea mail. the labels of the dispatches to be transported by sea must bear, in a conspicuous manner, the note “Statistique” (statistics). Article 55. *Fixing of the weight of closed mails.* 1. As for dispatches from oneFixing the weight of closed mails. country of the Union for another country of the Union, the dispatching exchange office enters on the letter bill for the exchange office of destination of the dispatch the gross weight of the letters and cards and that of the other articles, without distinction of the origin or destination of the correspondence. 2320 Classification.The gross weight includes the weight of the packing, but not that— (*a*) Of the empty sacks packed in separate sacks; (*b*) Of the sacks containing only correspondence exempt from all transit chaises (Article 72 of*Ante*, p. 2257. the Convention); (*c*) Of dispatches composed solely of a negative letter bill (Article 46, Section 10, above);*Ante*, p. 2309. (*d*) Of the collecting sacks mentioned in the preceding Article. 2. Consideration of fractions. Account is not taken of fractions of weight of 500 grains and less, while fractions of weight over 500 grams are rounded off to 1 kilogram. 3. Small sacks. In case that neither the gross weight of the letters and post cards nor that of the other articles exceeds 500 grams, the note “Poids brut ne dépasse pas 500 grammes” (Gross weight does not exceed 500 grams) is placed at the head of the letter bill. 4. Verification. These indications are verified by the exchange office of destination. If that office finds that the actual weight of the correspondence differs by more than 600 grams from the weight entered in the letter bill, it corrects those indications and immediately reports the error to the dispatching exchange office by means of a bulletin of verification. If the differences in weight detected remain within the limits given above, the indications of the dispatching office are held to be valid. Article 56. *Making up of forms Mfor closed mails.* 1. As soon as possible after theMaking up Form M for closed mails. close of statistical operations, the offices of destination make up, in as many copies as there are Administrations interested, including that of the country of origin, forms conforming to Form M appended hereto, and transmit2321 those forms to the exchange offices of the dispatching Administration to be marked with their acceptance. The latter, after accepting the forms, transmit them in turn to the central Administration to which they are subordinate, for distribution among the Administrations concerned. 2. If the Forms M have notWithout form M. reached the exchange offices of the office of origin, or if they have not arrived in sufficient numbers within a period of four months (six months in exchanges with oversea countries), counting from the date of dispatch of the last mail to be included in the statistics, those offices themselves make up the said forms in sufficient numbers in accordance with their own indications, and enter on each one of them the note: “Les relevés M du bureau destinataire ne sont pas parvenus dans le délai réglementaire” (The Forms M of the office of destination did not arrive within the period prescribed). They then transmit them to the cen Irai Administration to which they are subordinate for distribution among the Administrations concerned. Article 57. *Closed mails exchanged with countries foreign to the Union* As for the closed mails exchanged Closed mails with countries not in the Union.between a country of the Union and a country outside of the Union, through the intermediary of one of more Administrations of the Union, the exchange offices of the first of those countries make up, for the mails dispatched or received, a Form M which they transmit to the Ad-ministration of departure or entry, which makes up, at the end of the statistical period, a general account in as many copies as there are Administrations of the Union interested, including itself and the debtor office. One copy of this account is transmitted to 2322that Administration, as well as to each one of the Administrations which has taken part in the conveyance of the mails. Article 58. *List of closed mails exchanged in transit.* 1. Closed mails exchangad in transit.As soon as possible, and, in any case, within a period of six months after each statistical period, the Administrations which have sent dispatches in transit send a list of such dispatches to the various Administrations whose intermediary they have employed. 2. Explanatory notes.If that list indicates dispatches in transit which, in accordance with the provisions of Article 55 above, do not give rise to the making up of a Form M, an explanatory note is made, such as “Sacs vides” (Empty sacks); “Dépêches se composant uniquement d’une feuille d’avis négative” (Dispatches composed only a negative letter bill), “Rebuts,” or “Poids ne dépasse pas 500 grammes” (Weight does not exceed 500 grams). 3. Forwarded mails.Closed mails coming from countries beyond and which are forwarded included in dispatches in transit and entered in Table VI of the letter bill are indicated in a special part of the list. Article 59. *Closed mails exchanged with warships.* Closed mails exchanged with worships.It is incumbent upon the Administrations of the countries to which warships belong to make up the Forms M relative to the mails sent or received by those vessels. The mails dispatched during the statistical period to the address of warships must bear, on the labels, the date of dispatch. In case that the dispatches are forwarded, the forwarding Administration so advises the Ad-ministration of the country to which the vessel belongs. 2323 Article 60. *Transit bulletin.* When the route to be followed Transit bulletin.and the service of conveyance to be used for mails dispatched during the statistical period are unknown or uncertain, the Ad-ministration of origin must, at the request of the Administration of destination, prepare for each dispatch a bulletin conforming to Form T appended hereto. That bulletin is transmitted successively, without delay, to the various services participating in the conveyance of the mails, which give thereon, one after the other, information concerning the transit. The last transit office shall send the bulletin T to the office of destination. This bulletin is returned by the Administration of destination to the Administration of origin in support of the Form M. Article 61. *Statistics for correspondence in open mail.* 1.—Ordinary and registered correspondence, Open mall statistics.as well as insured letters and boxes, coming from the country itself or from countries beyond, transmitted in open mail during a statistical period form the subject, on the part of the dispatching exchange office, of an entry on the letter bill arranged as follows: Correspondence in open mail Number Letters Post cards Other articles Correspondence exempt from all transit charges in accordance with the provisions of Article 72 of the Convention are not included in these figures. In order to facilitate verification, the dispatching exchange office shall include the ordinary correspondence entered on the letter bill in special bundles 2324bearing the note “ Correspondance à découvert” (open-mail correspondence). In ease of need, the letters, cards, and other articles shall bo tied separately. 2. In the absence of correspondence in open mail, the dispatching office enters at the head of the letter bill the note “Pas do correspondances à découvert” (no correspondence in open mail). 3. The entries on the letter bills are verified by the exchange office of destination. If that office discovers, for one class of correspondence, differences of more than five articles, it corrects the said entries and immediately reports the error to the dispatching office by means of a bulletin of verification. If the difference detected remains within the limit specified above, the indications of the dispatching office arc held ns valid. 4. After finishing statistical operations, the exchange office of destination makes up, in a single copy, accounts (Form 0 hereto appended), which it transmits, without delay, to the central Administration to which it is subordinate. Article 62. *Statistics for wareho used mails.* Warehoused mails statistics.For dispatches whose ware-housing in a port gives rise, in *Ante*, p. 2256.the terms of Article 71 of the Convention, to a payment to the warehousing Administration, that Administration makes up, for each country of origin, a daily statement conforming to the Form Pbis hereto annexed, on which figure the indications relative to the dispatches received from the country under consideration, by the warehouse, during the period of 28 days of the statistics for transit charges, without regard to the dates of dispatch or reforwarding of the said dispatches. The entries made on the daily statements are recapitulated for each country of origin in an account conforming to Form Pter 2325hereto appended, which is sent to the central Administration of the said country accompanied by the Forms Pbis thereto relating. The recapitulatory account Pter, marked with the acceptance of the Administration of the dis-patching country, is transmitted with the Forms Pbis to the central Administration of the country to which the warehouse belongs. Article 63. *Extraordinary services.* Apart from airplane transportation, Extraordinary services.the service maintained for the accelerated land conveyance of the so-called India Mail is alone considered as an extraordinary service giving rise to special transit charges. Chapter II. accounting.—adjustment of Accounting.accounts. Article 64. *Transit charge account.* 1. The weights of the closed Transit charges.Calculation of.mails, the numbers of articles sent in open mail, and, if occasion arises, the numbers of sacks warehoused in a port are multiplied by 13 and the products thus obtained serve as the basis of individual accounts showing in francs and centimes the annual transit charges due to each Administration. The care of making up such accounts is incumbent upon the creditor Administration, which transmits them to the debtor Administration. In case that the multiplier 13 does not correspond to the frequency of the service, or when it is a question of extraordinary dispatches made during the statistical period, the Administrations concerned come to an agreement for the adoption of another multiplier which holds good during the years to which the statistics apply. 2326 2. In order to take account of the weight of the sacks and the packing, as well as of the classes of correspondence exempt from all transit charges in accordance *Ante*, p. 2257.with the provisions of Article 72 of the Convention, the total amount of the account for closed mails is reduced by 10 per cent. 3. The individual accounts are made up in duplicate, on the basis of the Forms M, O, and Pbis, on Forms N, P, and Pter They are sent to the dispatching Administration as soon as possible, and, at the latest, within a period of 12 months following the expiration of the statistical period. 4. If the Administration which has sent the individual account has not received any corrective observation within an interval of sly months, counting from the date of sending, that account is considered as duly accepted. Article 65. *General annual account. Intervention of the International Bureau.* 1. General annual account.Barring contrart agreement between the Administrations concerned, the general account comprising the transit and warehousing charges is made up annually by the International Bureau. 2. Transmitted by International Bureau to Administrations.As soon as the individual accounts between two Administrations are approved or considered as duly accepted (Section 4 of the preceding Article), each one of those Administrations transmits, without delay, to the International Bureau, an account (Form Q hereto appended) indicating the total amounts of those accounts. Upon receipt of an account from one Administration, the International Bureau so advises the other Administration concerned. In case of differences between the corresponding items furnished by two Administrations, the International Bureau invites them to come to an agreement and to 2327communicate to it the sums definitely arrived at. When only one of the Administrations has furnished the Form Q, the indications of that Administration hold good, unless the corresponding form is received by the International Bureau from the Administration in arrears in time for the making up of the next general annual account. In the case provided for by Section 4 of the preceding Article, the accounts must bear the note “Aucune observation de l’Office débiteur n’est parvenue dans le d’lai reglementaire.” (No observation received from the debtor office within the prescribed period.) If two Administrations agree to make a special settlement, their Forms Q bear the note “ Compte réglé à part—à titre d’information” (Account settled separately—for purposes of information) and are not included in the general annual account. That note is omitted in the case provided for by Section 3 of Article *Ante,* p. 2258.75 of the Convention. In the latter ease, the International Bureau makes the necessary exemptions and gives advice thereof to the Administrations concerned. 3. The International Bureau Annual account of transit charges.makes up, at the end of each year, on the basis of the forms which have reached it up to that time which are considered as duly accepted, a general account of transit charges. That account indicates:

(b)The Debit or Credit balance of each Administration, representing the difference between the Debit and the Credit.
(c)The sums to be paid by the debtor Administrations.

Early transmittal.The general annual accounts must be transmitted to the Administrations of the Union by the International Bureau as soon as possible, and, at the latest, before the expiration of the first quarter of the year following the one in which they were made up. Article 66. *Settlement of transit charges.* 1. Payment of transit charges.Barring contrary agreement, the balance resulting from the general annual account of the International Bureau or from special settlements is paid by the debtor Administration to the creditor Administration in gold or by means of drafts payable at sight in the capital or in a commercial city of the creditor country. In case of payment by means of drafts they are drawn in the money of the creditor country for an amount equivalent on the day of purchase to the value of the balance expressed in francs. The expenses of payment arc borne by the debtor Administration. These drafts may also be drawn on another country on the condition that they represent the same equivalent and that the exchange costs are charged to the debtor Administration. 2. Early settlementThe payment of the above-mentioned balance m ust be made as soon as possible, and, at the latest, before the expiration of a period of four months for countries of Europe and of five months for other countries, counting from the date of the sending of the account by the International Bureau or of the invitation to pay sent by the creditor Ad-ministration to the debtor Administration when it is a question of accounts settled separately. After those periods, the sums due bear interest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum, counting from the date of expiration of the said periods. 2329 Title VIII VARIOUS PROVISIONS.Various provisions.

In the absence of an agreement between two Administrations within a period of six months, the creditor Administration makes up its ac-count and sends it to the International Bureau. For the making up of that account, the value of the coupons is fixed at 40 centimes each. The International Bureau includes the balance in an annual account. 2330 In case that only one of the Administrations has furnished the statement (Form, U), the indications of that Administration are considered valid. 6. Small balances.When, in relations between two Administrations, the annual balance does not exceed 25 francs, the debtor Administration is exonerated from all payment and the account is not made up. 7.

A PROCLAMATION The time has come for the annual resurvey of the nation’s enormousNational Fire Prevention Week.Preamble. wastage, alike in human life and in property, and for the annual appeal for the lessening of this huge loss. I am informed that during 1 924 fires caused the loss of approximately 15,000 lives, and of property exceeding $548,000,000 in value. The figures are startling; they are yet more so when it is added that this is declared by competent authorities the greatest fire loss in any year of our history. This waste results from conditions which justify a sense of shame and horror; for the greater part of it could and ought to be prevented. Not only was the 1924 fire loss greater than that of any preceding year, but the loss for the first half of 1925 exceeded that for the like period of 1924. As a result of careful inquiries, I am informed that whereas the absolute as well as the per capita fire loss of this country tends to increase from year to year, the same losses in comparable European countries tend to decrease. For the most recent comparable periods fire losses in Great Britain are calculated at less than $1.00 per capita per annum, while those of the United States are placed at approximately $5.00 per capita. Comparisons with other European countries are similarly to our discredit. It is highly desirable that every effort be made to reform the conditions which have made possible so vast a destruction of the national wealth. To this end, for a long time past it has been customary to set aside a week in each year, during which the need of fire prevention may be emphasized. It is important that this practice be continued. THEREFORE, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United StatesRecommending observation of week beginning October 4, 1925, as. recommend that the week beginning Sunday, October 4th, be observed as National Fire Prevention Week. To State and municipal officials, civic organizations, school authorities and all citizens and organized bodies, I appeal for the fullest cooperation in improving conditions. There is need for earnest study of the principles of fire protection, as a practical measure of national economy. 2584 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A PROCLAMATION American Education Week.Preamble.Education is becoming well-nigh universal in America. The rapidity of its expansion within the past half century has no precedent. Our system of public instruction, administered by State and local officers, is peculiarly suited to our habits of life and to our plan of government, and it has brought forth abundant fruit. In some favored localities only one, two, or three persons in a thousand between the ages of 16 and 20 are classed as illiterate. High schools and academies easily accessible are offering to the youth of America a greater measure of education than that which the founders of the Nation received from Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, and Princeton; and so widely diffused has advanced study become that the bachelor’s degree is no longer a symbol of unusual learning. All this is reason for gratification; but in the contemplation of worthy achievement we must still be mindful that full provision has not yet been made throughout the country for education of either elementary, secondary, or higher grade. Large numbers have not been reached by the blessings of education. The efficiency of the schools in rural communities is, in general, relatively low; too often their equipment is meagre, their teachers poorly prepared, and their terms short. High schools, notwithstanding their extraordinary growth, have not kept pace with the demand for instruction; even in great cities many students are restricted to half-time attendance, and in outlying districts such schools are frequently insufficient in number or inadequate in quality. In higher education the possibilities of existing institutions have been reached and it is essential that their facilities be extended or that junior colleges in considerable numbers be established. These deficiencies leave no room for complacency. The utmost endeavor must be exerted to provide for every child in the land the full measure of education which his need and his capacity demand; and none must be permitted to live in ignorance. Marked benefit has come in recent years from nation-wide campaigns for strengthening public sentiment for universal education, for upholding the hands of constituted school authorities, and for promoting meritorious legislation in behalf of the schools. Such revivals are whole-some and should continue. Designating week beginning November 16, 1925, to be observed as.Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do proclaim the week beginning November sixteenth as American Education Week, and I urge that it be observed throughout the United States. I recommend that the Governors of the several States issue proclamations setting forth the necessity of education to a free people and requesting that American Education Week be 2585appropriately celebrated in their respective States. I urge further that local officers, civic, social, and religious organizations, and citizens of every occupation contribute with all their strength to the advance of education, and that they make of American Education Week a special season of mutual encouragement in promoting that enlightenment upon which the welfare of the Nation depends. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A PROCLAMATION The season approaches when, in accordance with along establishedThanksgiving Day, 1925.Preamble. and respected custom, a day is set apart to give thanks to Almighty God for the manifold blessings which His gracious and benevolent providence has bestowed upon us as a nation and as individuals. We have been brought with safety and honor through another year, and, through the generosity of nature, He has blessed us with resources whose potentiality in wealth is almost incalculable; we are at peace at home and abroad; the public health is good; we have been undisturbed by pestilences or great catastrophes; our harvests and our industries have been rich in productivity; our commerce spreads over the whole world, and Labor has been well rewarded for its remunerative service. As we have grown and prospered in material things, so also should we progress in moral and spiritual tilings.

By the President of the United States of America A PROCLAMATION. Forest protection and Arbor Day observance, 1928.Preamble. In again proclaiming American Forest Week it is fitting that, while giving full weight to the evils resulting from impoverished forests and idle land, I should lay stress upon the outward spread of forestry in industrial practice and land usage. Too long have we as a nation consumed our forest wealth without adequate provision for its wise utilization and renewal. But a gratifying change is taking place in the attitude of our industries, our landowners, and the American people toward our forests. The wise use of land is one of the main foundations of sound national economy. It is the corner stone of national thrift. The waste or misuse of natural resources cuts away the groundwork on which national prosperity is built. If we are to flourish, as a people and as individuals, we must neither wastefully hoard nor wasteful! v exploit, but skillfully employ and renew the resources that nature has entrusted to us. America’s forest problem essentially is a problem involving the wise use of land that can and should produce crops of timber. 2603 Flourishing woodlands, however, mean more than timber crops, permanent industries, and an adequate supply of wood. They minister to our need for outdoor recreation; they preserve animal and bird life; they protect and beautify our hillsides and feed our streams; they preserve the inspiring natural environment which has contributed so much to American character. Although our national progress in forestry has been well begun, much remains to be done through both concerted and individual effort. We must stamp out the forest fires which still annually sweep many wooded areas, destroying timber the nation can ill afford to lose and killing young growth needed to constitute the forests of the future. Forest fires, caused largely by human indifference or carelessness, are the greatest single obstacle to reforestation and effective forest management. We must encourage and extend methods of timber cutting which perpetuate the forest while harvesting its products. We must plant trees in abundance on idle land where they can profitably be grown. We must examine taxation practices that may form economic barriers to timber culture. We must encourage the extension of forest ownership on the part of municipalities, counties, States, and the Federal Government. And we must take common counsel in public meetings to the end that the forestry problems of each region may be well considered and adequately met. NOW, THEREFORE, I, CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of Designation of week of April 18–24, 1926, as American Forest Week, etc.the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of April 18–24, inclusive, 1926, as American Forest Week; and I recommend to the Governors of the various States that they also designate the week of April 18–24 as American Forest Week and observe Arbor Day within that week wherever practicable and not in conflict with law or accepted custom. And I urge public officials, public and business organizations, industrial leaders, landowners, editors, educators, clergymen, and all patriotic citizens to unite in the common task of forest conservation and renewal. The action of the Canadian Government in likewise proclaiming the week of April 18–24, inclusive, as a period when the utmost stress shall be laid upon the problems of forest conservation and renewal, thus unifying the respective efforts of Canada and the United States, is an added reason why our citizens should give careful thought to a matter so important to both countries. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A PROCLAMATION. Fire Prevention Week, 1926.Preamble.The nation’s constantly increasing fire waste is cause for general concern and consideration. In 1905 the total loss of property due to fire was $165,000,000. In 1915 it was $172,000,000, and in 1925 had increased to more than $570,000,000. In addition, thousands of lives are sacrificed each year through fires, a large majority of which are preventable. The conservation of man power and material wealth from such destruction is a challenge to the progress of our civilization. It demands the attention of every citizen. The effect of fire waste is national, but it is only by concerted efforts in our cities, towns, hamlets and on our farms that a reduction may be achieved. To the federal government this matter is of grave concern, but we must rely on the cumulative contributions of communities throughout the land to make fire prevention an actuality. While efforts should be made constantly to reduce fire destruction to a minim tun, in pursuance of a well established precedent, one week is set aside each year during which the urgent need of preventing fires is forcibly stressed. This may well be the starting point for a continuous fire prevention program extending over the entire country. Unquestionably this is a most important means of attacking fire waste, and Recommending week beginning October 3, 1926, as.THEREFORE, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, recommend that the week beginning Sunday, October 3, be observed through the country as Fire Prevention Week. To State and municipal officials, civic and commercial organizations, school authorities, the clergy and the press I especially appeal in order that there may be a full degree of cooperation. Farmers and others living in rural districts, who are said to have suffered a fire loss of $150,000,000 in the past year, are particularly requested to join in this movement. If every individual will adopt and practice the simple precautionary measures advocated as fire prevention safeguards, fire hazards and their consequences will be materially reduced. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 21st day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and [seal] twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-first.

A PROCLAMATION War risk life insurance.Preamble.During the World War the United States Government insured, at an exceedingly low premium rate, nearly 5,000,000 members of the armed forces of the country against death or total permanent disability. The insurance thus granted was for the greater protection of the insured and their dependents than was afforded in the compensation, independently of insurance and unconnected therewith, which was provided for death or disability resulting from personal injury, or disease contracted in the military service. Statutory provision was made for the continuance of this war risk insurance after the termination of the war, and its conversion within a limited time into such form or forms of insurance, usually issued by life insurance companies, as the insured might request. Many veterans do not seem to have had knowledge of this continuing privilege, and for one reason or another have permitted their war risk insurance to lapse. Under the terms provided for the reestablishment of lapsed insurance, normal health conditions will permit reinstatement upon the payment of two monthly premiums; and for those whose service disabilities render them otherwise not insurable, and who are not permanently and totally disabled, provision is made for reinstatement upon the payment of premiums and interest for the period of lapse. Even these payments may be temporarily waived for those whose resources do not permit immediate compliance. *Ante*, p, 799.The law provides that no reinstatement of war risk life insurance which has lapsed shall be made after July 2, 1927. After that date, such war risk term insurance cannot be reinstated. On or prior to that date, therefore, such insurance must be reinstated and converted, at the election of the applicant, into one or more of the seven standard forms of life insurance provided by the Government. If such insurance is now in force, the insured must convert it into one of the forms above mentioned on or before the above date. The potential protective value of the insurance thus provided is apparent, as affecting the future economic and domestic welfare of veterans and their dependents, Provision is made for extended insurance, paid up values, loan values, cash surrender values, and dividend participation. No premium is charged during total permanent disability. Thousands of our national defenders are passing on each year. All veterans of the World War should be generally and fully informed of their right to procure the safe and certain pro 2633 tection for themselves and their dependents of the insurance afforded by the Government. Detailed information with reference to such insurance may be obtained from the Central Office of the United States Veterans Bureau, Washington, D. C., or from its Regional Offices located thoughout the country. Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, doDesignating week January 31 to February 7, 1927, to inform veterans of right to reinstate lapsed war risk insurance, and convert it into Government life insurance. hereby designate the period January 31 to February 7, 1927, as a time during which special effort should be made to inform all veterans of the World War of the right they have to reinstate lapsed war risk life insurance, and to convert it into United States Government life insurance; and, that all such veterans may, in some manner, be properly informed, I urge all citizens, particularly employers, the press, labor organizations, women’s associations, professional groups and civic and patriotic bodies, to secure full information and use such means of informing the veterans as may be most effective.

March 5, 1927 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 44 Stat. 2639 By the President of the United States of America March 5, 1927. A PROCLAMATION IN accordance with the custom established by my predecessor, IAmerican Forest Week, 1927.Preamble. have yearly proclaimed an American Forest Week. I do so again in the belief that no other of our internal problems is of greater moment than the rehabilitation of our forests, now so hopefully begun but needing the strong support of our collective will and intelligence. Through joint arrangement, Canada is observing forest week concurrently with us. One-fourth of our soil is better suited to timber-growing than anything else. I can not escape the conviction that our industrial and agricultural stability will be strengthened by bringing into full productive use this great empire of land. Although much progress has been made in public forestry and hopeful beginnings in private forestry, we still have a vast aggregate of idle or semi-idle forest land, and another large aggregate of poor farm land that might more profitably grow timber instead of adding to the problem of agricultural overproduction. Consider what blessings the use of this land for intensive forest culture would bring to our country. Our migratory forest industries would be stabilized and made permanent. Rural industry would be2640 greatly strengthened and vitalized. Agriculture would find in silviculture a strong ally, providing markets for farm produce and for surplus labor. Our farms themselves contain nearly a third of our woodland—an enormous potential farm asset if handled for continuous timber crops. With wide spread forest culture, new wealth would spring up for the support of roads, schools, and local government, and the rural regions would enjoy a larger share of the national prosperity. For some of our surplus capital now seeking investment abroad, new outlets would be found in forest production. Our people would then have an assured supply of timber and would see the hills and the waste places reclothed with forests for their pleasure and inspiration. American Forest Week gives a useful opportunity for taking counsel on what can and should be done to bring these neglected and waiting lands into use. It also gives an opportunity for each citizen to consider his own responsibility in the common task. It is not enough that the Federal and State governments have joined hands with the landowner in the first step toward forest rehabilitation, protection against fire. Every citizen whose thoughtless act may endanger the woods has the obligation of respecting the forest and guarding it from its worst enemy, fire. Designating week of April 24–30, 1927, as.NOW, THEREFORE, 1, CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set aside as American Forest Week the week beginning April 24 and ending April 30, in this year of 1927;.and I do earnestly urge that during that week the thought of all citizens be directed to the need of preventing forest fires and to the measures necessary for the preservation and wise use of our forests. I recommend to the Governors of the several States that they likewise designate this week for special observance, and that where practicable and not in conflict with law or custom, Arbor Day be observed on some day of the same week. I urge that in each State special exercises be held in the schools and that the press and the general public give consideration to the forest needs of their respective commonwealths, to the adequacy of such legislation as may be on their statute books, and to the possible need for further enactments. And I urge that all who own forest lands give consideration to the feasibility of so using them that their benefits may continue in perpetuity. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this March 5, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, and of [seal] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-first.
