FOREIGN AFFAIRS SERIES
Scope and Content Note
The Foreign Affairs series (22 linear feet) contains correspondence and copies
of State Department documents forwarded by the Secretary of State to the President
for his information and attention. This series is arranged in seven sub-series, each of
which is more fully described below:
The Countries sub-series concerns routine matters related to individual countries
with cross-references to such subjects as the moratorium, the standstill agreement,
reparations, and disarmament. The finding aid lists names of American representatives
to each country as a convenient cross reference to the Diplomats sub-series. Arranged
alphabetically by name of country and thereunder chronologically.
The Diplomats sub-series concerns the appointment and resignation of American
diplomats and requests by American nationals for special treatment while traveling
abroad. The Secretary's File, the Individuals File, and the President's Personal File
contain additional references to correspondence with these diplomats and citizens.
Arranged alphabetically by name of diplomat and thereunder chronologically.
The Disarmament sub-series reflects the efforts of the Hoover administration to
promote international disarmament. Related papers may be found in the Subject File,
the Cabinet Offices, and the President's Personal File series. Arrangement is chronological.
The Financial sub-series concerns the moratorium agreement, the standstill
agreement, and war debts and reparations. Related papers may be found in the State
and Treasury Departments sections of the Cabinet Offices series and in the Subject File
under "Business," "Chronology of Important Economic and Financial Events," and
"Financial Matters". This sub-series is arranged as a chronological correspondence file
followed by subject files arranged alphabetically.
The General Subjects sub-series concerns foreign affairs questions which do not
fall within the province of the other sub-series, such as: "Inter-American High
Commission," "League of Nations," "Peace," and "Treaties". Arranged alphabetically.
The Judicial sub-series concerns the codification of international law, the
appointment of American representatives to the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and
the Permanent Court of International Justice (World Court). Related papers may be
found in the President's Personal File (Permanent Court of International Justice).
Arranged alphabetically by subject.
The Manchurian Crisis sub-series relates to the efforts of the Hoover administration,
in cooperation with other nations and the League of Nations, to bring about a cessation
of hostilities between China and Japan. Related papers may be found in the Cabinet
Offices series under State Department and War Department. Arrangement is chronological.
