Book Description

Excerpt from List of References on Reciprocity The first edition of a "List of references on reciprocity" was published in 1902 and a "Select list of books, with references to periodicals, on reciprocity with Canada," in 1907, and later a typewritten list on Cuban reciprocity was prepared. The material contained in these has now been brought together, with the addition of later literature, and grouped under the following headings: Reciprocity in the United States [comprehensive]. Reciprocity with Canada and Newfoundland. Reciprocity with Hawaii. Reciprocity under the McKinley act, 1890-1894. Reciprocity with Cuba. Reciprocity in Great Britain and other countries. To the general works to which special attention was directed in the first edition, such as Adams's "American economic supremacy;" Bastable's "Theory of international trade;" Chapman's "History of trade between the United Kingdom and the United States;" Rogers's "Economic interpretation of history," should now be added Ashley's "Modern tariff history;" Dietzel's "Retaliatory duties;" Fisk's "International commercial policies, with special reference to the United States," and Laughlin and Willis's "Reciprocity." Documents and treaties. - In a subject of this kind the public documents are of the first importance, and this fact is emphasized by placing them at the head of each section. By means of them the legislative history of the reciprocity treaties or projects from the year 1815 to the present time may be traced. The texts of the various treaties and agreements are given in "Treaties, conventions. . . and agreements between the United States of America and other powers, 1776-1909" (Senate document no. 357, 61st Congress, 2d session). The diplomatic negotiations in connection with the treaties of 1815 and 1818 with Great Britain are set forth in Lyman's "The diplomacy of the United States;" Wharton's "Digest of international law" devotes a section to the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, and another to "Treaty regulations of reciprocity with Great Britain." Wharton is practically superseded by Moore's "Digest of international law," which discusses in addition the fate of the reciprocity treaties negotiated under the McKinley act.
