MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS.
ARTICLE 356.
Hungary
undertakes to
recognise and to
accept the
conventions made
or to be made by
the Allied and
Associated
Powers or any of
them with any
other Power as
to the traffic
in arms and in
spirituous
liquors, and
also as to the
other subjects
dealt with in
the General Acts
of Berlin of
February 26,
1885, and of
Brussels of July
2,1890, and the
conventions
completing or
modifying the
same.
ARTICLE 357
The High
Contracting
Parties declare
and place on
record that they
have taken note
of the Treaty
signed by the
Government of
the French
Republic on July
17, 1918, with
His Serene
Highness the
Prince of Monaco
defining the
relations
between France
and the
Principality.
ARTICLE 358.
The High
Contracting
Parties, while
they recognise
the guarantees
stipulated by
the Treaties of
1815, and
especially by
the Act of
November
20,1815, in
favour of
Switzerland, the
said guarantees
constituting
international
obligations for
the maintenance
of peace,
declare
nevertheless
that the
provisions of
these treaties,
conventions,
declarations and
other
supplementary
Acts concerning
the neutralised
zone of Savoy,
as laid down in
paragraph I of
Article 92 of
the Final Act of
the Congress of
Vienna and in
paragraph 2 of
Article 3 of the
Treaty of Paris
of November 20,
1815, are no
longer
consistent with
present
conditions. For
this reason the
High Contracting
Parties take
note of the
agreement
reached between
the French
Government and
the Swiss
Government for
the abrogation
of the
stipulations
relating to this
zone which are
and remain
abrogated.
The High
Contracting
Parties also
agree that the
stipulations of
the Treaties of
1815 and of the
other
supplementary
Acts concerning
the free zones
of Upper Savoy
and the Gex
district are no
longer
consistent with
present
conditions, and
that it is for
France and
Switzerland to
come to an
agreement
together with a
view to settling
between
themselves the
status of these
territories
under such
conditions as
shall be
considered
suitable by both
countries.
ANNEX.
I.
The Swiss
Federal Council
has informed the
French
Government on
May 5, 1919,
that after
examining the
provisions of
Article 435 of
the peace
conditions
presented to
Germany by the
Allied and
Associated
Powers in a like
spirit of
sincere
friendship it
has happily
reached the
conclusion that
it was possible
to acquiesce in
it under the
following
conditions and
reservations:
(1) The
neutralised zone
of Haute-Savoie:
(a) It will be
understood that
as long as the
Federal Chambers
have not
ratified the
agreement come
to between the
two Governments
concerning the
abrogation of
the stipulations
in respect of
the neutralised
zone of Savoy,
nothing will be
definitively
settled, on one
side or the
other, in regard
to this subject.
(b) The assent
given by the
Swiss Government
to the
abrogation of
the
above-mentioned
stipulations
presupposes, in
conformity with
the text
adopted, the
recognition of
the guarantees
formulated in
favour of
Switzerland by
the Treaties of
I815 and
particularly by
the Declaration
of November 20,
1815.
(c) The
agreement
between the
Governments of
France and
Switzerland for
the abrogation
of the
above-mentioned
stipulations
will only be
considered as
valid if the
Treaty of Peace
contains this
Article in its
present wording.
In addition, the
Parties to the
Treaty of Peace
should endeavour
to obtain the
assent oE the
signatory Powers
of the Treaties
of 1815 and of
the Declaration
of November 20,
1815, which are
not signatories
of the present
Treaty of Peace.
(2) Free zone of
Haute-Savoie and
the district of
Gex:
(a) The Federal
Council makes
the most express
reservations to
the
interpretation
to be given to
the statement
mentioned in the
last paragraph
of the above
Article for
insertion in the
Treaty of Peace,
which provides
that "the
stipulations of
the Treaties of
1815 and other
supplementary
acts concerning
the free zones
of Haute-Savoie
and the Gex
district are no
longer
consistent with
present
conditions." The
Federal Council
would not wish
that its
acceptance of
the above
wording should
lead to the
conclusion that
it would agree
to the
suppression of a
system intended
to give
neighbouring
territory the
benefit of a
special regime
which is
appropriate to
the geographical
and economical
situation and
which has been
well tested. In
the opinion of
the Federal
Council the
question is not
the modification
of the customs
system of the
zones as set up
by the Treaties
mentioned above,
but only the
regulation in a
manner more
appropriate to
the economic
conditions of
the present day
of the terms of
the exchange of
goods between
the regions in
question. The
Federal Council
has been led to
make the
preceding
observations by
the perusal of
the draft
Convention
concerning the
future
constitution of
the zones which
was annexed to
the note of
April 26 from
the French
Government.
While making the
above
reservations,
the Federal
Council declares
its readiness to
examine in the
most friendly
spirit any
proposals which
the French
Government may
deem it
convenient to
make on the
subject.
(b) It is
conceded that
the stipulations
of the Treaties
of 1815 and
other
supplementary
acts relative to
the free zones
will remain in
force until a
new arrangement
is come to
between France
and Switzerland
to regulate
matters in this
territory.
II.
The French
Government have
addressed to the
Swiss
Government, on
May 18, I919,
the following
note in reply to
the
communication
set out in the
preceding
paragraph:
In a note dated
May 5 the Swiss
Legation in
Paris was good
enough to inform
the Government
of the French
Republic that
the Federal
Government
adhered to the
proposed Article
to be inserted
in the Treaty of
Peace between
the Allied and
Associated
Governments and
Germany.
The French
Government have
taken note with
much pleasure of
the agreement
thus reached,
and, at their
request, the
proposed
Article, which
had been
accepted by the
Allied and
Associated
Governments, has
been inserted
under No. 435 in
the peace
conditions
presented to the
German
Plenipotentiaries.
The Swiss
Government, in
their Note of
May 5 on this
subject, have
expressed
various views
and
reservations.
Concerning the
observations
relating to the
free zones of
Haute-Savoie and
the Gex
district, the
French
Government have
the honour to
observe that the
provisions of
the last
paragraph of
Article 435 are
so clear that
their purport
cannot be
misapprehended,
especially where
it implies that
no other Power
but France and
Switzerland will
in future be
interested in
that question.
The French
Government, on
their part, are
anxious to
protect the
interests of the
French
territories
concerned, and,
with that
object, having
their special
situation in
view, they bear
in mind the
desirability of
assuring them a
suitable customs
regime and
determining, in
a manner better
suited to
present
conditions, the
methods of
exchanges
between these
territories and
the adjacent
Swiss
territories,
while taking
into account the
reciprocal
interests of
both regions.
It is understood
that this must
in no way
prejudice the
right of France
to adjust her
customs line in
this region in
conformity with
her political
frontier, as is
done on the
other portions
of her
territorial
boundaries, and
as was done by
Switzerland long
ago on her own
boundaries in
this region.
The French
Government are
pleased to note
on this subject
in what a
friendly
disposition the
Swiss Government
take this
opportunity of
declaring their
willingness to
consider any
French proposal
dealing with the
system to be
substituted for
the present
regime of the
said free zones,
which the French
Government
intend to
formulate in the
same friendly
spirit.
Moreover, the
French
Government have
no doubt that
the provisional
maintenance of
the regime of
1815 as to the
free zones
referred to in
the
above-mentioned
paragraph of the
Note from the
Swiss Legation
of May 5, whose
object is to
provide for the
passage from the
present regime
to the
conventional
regime, will
cause no delay
whatsoever in
the
establishment of
the new
situation which
has been found
necessary by the
two Governments.
This remark
applies also to
the ratification
by the Federal
Chambers, dealt
with in
paragraph I (a)
of the Swiss
note of May 5,
under the
heading
"Neutralized
zone of Haute-Savoie."
ARTICLE 359.
The Allied and
Associated
Powers agree
that where
Christian
religious
missions were
being maintained
by Hungarian
societies or
persons in
territory
belonging to
them, or of
which the
government is
entrusted to
them in
accordance with
the present
Treaty, the
property which
these missions
or missionary
societies
possessed,
including that
of trading
societies whose
profits were
devoted to the
support of
missions, shall
continue to be
devoted to
missionary
purposes. In
order to ensure
the due
execution of
this
undertaking, the
Allied and
Associated
Governments will
hand over such
property to
boards of
trustees
appointed by or
approved by the
Governments and
composed of
persons holding
the faith of the
mission whose
property is
involved.
The Allied and
Associated
Governments,
while continuing
to maintain full
control as to
the individuals
by whom the
missions are
conducted, will
safeguard the
interests of
such missions.
Hungary, taking
note of the
above
undertaking,
agrees to accept
all arrangements
made or to be
made by the
Allied or
Associated
Government
concerned for
carrying on the
work of the said
missions or
trading
societies and
waives all
claims on their
behalf.
ARTICLE 360.
Without
prejudice to the
provisions of
the present
Treaty, Hungary
undertakes not
to put Eorward
directly or
indirectly
against any
Allied or
Associated
Power, signatory
of the present
Treaty, any
pecuniary claim
based on events
which occurred
at any time
before the
coming into
force of the
present Treaty.
The present
stipulation will
bar completely
and finally all
claims of this
nature, which
will be
thenceforward
extinguished
whoever may be
the parties in
interest.
ARTICLE 361.
Hungary accepts
and recognises
as valid and
binding all
decrees and
orders
concerning
Austro-Hungarian
ships and
Hungarian goods
and all orders
relating to the
payment of costs
made by any
Prize Court of
any of the
Allied or
Associated
Powers, and
undertakes not
to put forward
any claim
arising out of
such decrees or
orders on behalf
of any Hungarian
national.
The Allied and
Associated
Powers reserve
the right to
examine in such
manner as they
may determine
all decisions
and orders of
Austro-Hungarian
Prize Courts,
whether
affecting the
property rights
of nationals of
those Powers or
of neutral
Powers. Hungary
agrees to
furnish copies
of all the
documents
constituting the
record of the
cases, including
the decisions
and orders made,
and to accept
and give effect
to the
recommendations
made after such
examination of
the cases.
ARTICLE 362.
The High
Contracting
Parties agree
that, in the
absence of a
subsequent
agreement to the
contrary, the
Chairman of any
Commission
established by
the present
Treaty shall in
the event of an
equality of
votes be
entitled to a
second vote.
ARTICLE 363
Except where
otherwise
provided in the
present Treaty,
in all cases
where the Treaty
provides for the
settlement of a
question
affecting
particularly
certain States
by means of a
special
Convention to be
concluded
between the
States
concerned, it is
understood by
the High
Contracting
Parties that
diffficulties
arising in this
connection
shall, until
Hungary is
admitted to
membership of
the League of
Nations, be
settled by the
Principal Allied
and Associated
Powers.
ARTICLE 364.
In the present
Treaty the
expression
"former Kingdom
of Hungary"
includes Bosnia
and Herzegovina
except where the
text implies the
contrary. This
provision shall
not prejudice
the rights and
obligations of
Austria in such
territory.
THE PRESENT
TREATY, in
French, in
English, and in
Italian, shall
be ratified. In
case of
divergence, the
French text
shall prevail,
except in Parts
I (Covenant of
the League of
Nations) and
XIII (Labour),
where the French
and English
texts shall be
of equal force.
The deposit of
ratifications
shall be made at
Paris as soon as
possible.
Powers of which
the seat of the
Government is
outside Europe
will be entitled
merely to inform
the Government
of the French
Republic through
their diplomatic
representative
at Paris that
their
ratification has
been given; in
that case they
must transmit
the instrument
of ratification
as soon as
possible.
A first
procès-verbal of
the deposit of
ratifications
will be drawn up
as soon as the
Treaty has been
ratified by
Hungary on the
one hand, and by
three of the
Principal Allied
and Associated
Powers on the
other hand.
From the date of
this first
procès-verbal
the Treaty will
come into force
between the High
Contracting
Parties who have
ratified it. For
the
determination of
all periods of
time provided
for in the
present Treaty,
this date will
be the date of
the coming into
force of the
Treaty.
In all other
respects the
Treaty will
enter into force
for each Power
at the date of
the deposit of
its
ratification.
The French
Government will
transmit to all
the signatory
Powers a
certified copy
of the
procès-verbaux
of the deposit
of
ratifications.
IN FAITH
WHEREOF the
above-named
Plenipotentiaries
have signed the
present Treaty.
Done at Trianon,
the fourth day
of June, one
thousand nine
hundred and
twenty, in a
single copy
which will
remain deposited
in the archives
of the French
Republic, and of
which
authenticated
copies will be

each of the
Signatory
Powers.

4. Proceedings
will be taken
against persons
who have
committed
punishable
offences in the
Liquidation of

DECLARATION.
With a view to
minimizing the
losses arising
from the sinking
of ships and

and the
adjustment of
the private

its power which
may be of
assistance to
the Governments
of the Allied

their nationals,
with regard to
vessels sunk or
damaged by the
Hungarian naval
forces during
the period of
hostilities.
This declaration
