United States-Italy.

On July 30, 1932, at Rome, occurred the exchange of ratifications of the treaty between the United States and Italy, signed September 23, 1931, modifying the terms of article 2 of the treaty to advance the cause of general peace, signed May 5, 1914.

The President proclaimed the treaty on August 9, 1932. It will shortly be printed as Treaty Series No. 848.*
