ANNEX VII.
Extract from the Treaty of Peace between the United States and Spain of the 10th December, 1898. (Ratified the 11th April, 1899.)
Article IV." The United States will, for the term of ten years from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty, admit Spanish ships and merchandise to the ports of the Philippine Islands on the same terms as ships and merchandise of the United States."
Extract from Annex 2 to Protocol 18 of the Treaty of Peace.
"The declaration, that the policy of the United States in the Philippines will be that of an open door to the world's commerce necessarily implies that the offer to place Spanish vessels and merchandise on the same footing as American is not intended to be exclusive. But the offer to give Spain that privilege for a term of years is intended to secure it to her for a certain period by special Treaty stipulation, whatever might be at any time the general policy of the United States."
Extract from a Note dated the 23rd November, 1899, from Mr. Hay to the British Ambassador at Washington.
So far as the Philippines are concerned, the principle to be followed by the United States is expressed in Annex 2 to Protocol 16 (Treaty of Peace, Senate Doc. No. 62, Part 2, 55th Congress, third Session, page 218), of which your Excellency doubtless has a copy."
