Abstract

DIPLOMATIC ASSISTANCE TO PRIVATE INVESTMENT A STUDY OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE TWENTIETH CENTURY By J. GILLIS WETTER1)2) Introduction. This is a study of the diplomatic assistance extended by the United States to American nationals investing in foreign countries. It is based on those official documents relating to American foreign re- lations in the 20th century which have so far been published and thus principally encompasses the period 1900-1940. It is designed as an inquiry into aspects of international law which have not often been scrutinized in recent years; in fact, the scarcity of theoretical analyses of the law of diplomatic protection is as marked as is, at least in the United States, the abundance of primary source material awaiting the elaboration of theories and rules of law in the field. Although much has been written on the protection that private investment enjoys or should enjoy under international law, the em- ' phasis has been upon expositions or analyses of doctrines of inter- national law, or upon plans for creating treaty protection in the form of multilateral or bilateral investment conventions.
