The records are concerned with efforts to maintain friendly relations and negotiate treaties between the United States and Cuba. Cuba agitated to abolish the Platt Amendment, which gave the United States the right to intervene in Cuban affairs to preserve Cuban independence. Newspaper articles and documents relate to the Kellogg-Briand Pact for the renunciation of war. Consular affairs represent a large portion of the papers: the suppression of liquor and narcotics traffic, the smuggling of birds and animals, extradition agreements, most-favored-nation privileges, and the disposition of estates of deceased nationals. A portion of the correspondence led to the ceding of twenty-five acres of Cuban land to the United Sates for a memorial at the San Juan Hill battlefield.

Most of the records in this small decimal file concern negotiations for treaties of arbitration and conciliation between the United States and Egypt and negotiations for a treaty renouncing war.

The United States desired a presence in Ethiopia equal to that of Great Britain, Italy, and France in order to gain oil concessions and protect American missionary enterprises in Addis Ababa. These decimal file papers explore the potential for investment of American capital in the construction of railways and roads and in the opening of oil and mineral concessions. They also cover the negotiations and ratifications of various treaties. In 1914 a treaty of commerce and navigation provided for protection of travel, use of telegraph and transportation facilities, and other means of facilitating trade. The treaties of 1928-1929 deal with arbitration, conciliation, and the renunciation of war.

Documents that relate to the negotiation of a treaty to provide perpetual peace comprise approximately one-third of this Department of State decimal file. The papers document Premier Aristide Briand's efforts towards world peace. Premier Briand firmly supported the idea of renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy. He was a principal author of the treaty that is commonly called the Kellogg Pact or the Kellogg-Briand Pact, in which sixty nations agreed to outlaw war. Other documents discuss possible cession to the United States of French territories (Martinique, Guadeloupe, and the Society Islands) to settle war debts, the Anglo, French, and American defensive alliance, and American support for visits between governors of the Philippine Islands, the Dutch East Indies, and French Indochina to promote trade. Treaty discussions relate to aerial navigation, naturalization, immigration, and the so-called 12-Mile Treaty to control searches in territorial waters, especially for illegal liquor and drugs.

Because no United States diplomatic representatives were in Berlin from 1917 to 1922, most of the records from 1917 to 1919 in this Department of State decimal file originated from United States diplomatic posts in Denmark and the Netherlands. From that time, until diplomatic relations were resumed in 1922, they originated from the United States Commissioner in Germany. Press reports concern public opinion in both countries. For example, the documents examine the effect on American public opinion of the Lusitania sinking in 1919. British efforts to influence American public opinion are also covered. Some documents concern the Joint Congressional Resolution terminating the state of war, the Treaty of Peace, and the presidential proclamation to the same effect. The views of Herbert Hoover and John Foster Dulles are recorded.
