page 474 note 1 The Reporters desire to express their appreciation and indebtedness to many who have assisted them in their work. They especially desire to mention the assistance of Mr. Frederic C. Smedley, of the New York Bar, whose untiring and painstaking researches facilitated to a large extent the collection and organization of the materials used in the comments. Mr. Norman W. Schur, of the New York Bar, helped in the translation of Italian and Dutch texts. The translation of the Czechoslovak texts was obtained through the kindness of His Excellency, Dr. Edouard Benes, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czechoslovak Republic. The Hungarian Foreign Office, through the kind intervention of His Excellency, Count László Széchényi, Hungarian Minister to the United States, generously assisted in the collection of material in Hungary. The Pohsh decisions were obtained through the kindness of the Polish Embassy in Washington.
