A propos de cet article

5" X 7"; 1 pages; An engraved invitation (measures 5" by 7") printed on cream card stock bearing the embossed American Eagle seal. The text reads "In honor of the Delegates to the / International Conference of American States / on Conciliation and Arbitration / The Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg / request the honor of your company / at a reception / on Monday evening the tenth of December / at ten o'clock / at the Pan American Union" Provenance: This invitation was to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Augustus Jay -- Peter Augustus Jay (1877 â" 1933) was an American diplomat born in 1877 at Newport, Rhode Island, into the esteemed Jay family that traces its direct lineage to John Jay, Founding Father and first United States Chief Justice. In 1902, he began his professional diplomatic career at the American embassy in Paris followed by service in Constantinople. Jay became Chargà d'Affaires in Tokyo in 1908, where he served until the end of 1909 when President William Howard Taft appointed him Consul General to Egypt in Cairo (1910 - 1913). In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Jay as U.S. Minister to El Salvador; soon after President Warren G. Harding, made him U.S. Minister to Romania (1921-1925), where he assisted in negotiating that country's repayment terms of $42 million for wartime and post World War I development loans. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge appointed him U.S. Ambassador to Argentina. This was his last foreign service job, as he resigned his post and returned to Washington, D.C in December 1926, following the death of his young daughter Emily. Frank Billings Kellogg (1856-1937) served as Secretary of State during the full term of President Calvin Coolidge from 1925 until 1929. Even before he became Secretary of State, Kellogg, as Ambassador to the United Kingdom, influenced U.S. foreign policy, especially regarding German reparations to the Allies, as outlined in the Treaty of Versailles. Once Secretary, he was successful in negotiating a settlement between Chile and Peru regarding the Tacna-Arica border dispute and negotiating a treaty of arbitration with the Republic of Mexico. He also negotiated or signed nearly 80 other treaties with European and Western Hemisphere states, breaking the record set by William Jennings Bryan. Kelloggâs most lasting achievement, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1929, was the negotiation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact.…
