YEAR BOOK ON COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION IN THE UNITED STATES 1927 PREPARED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION 342 MADISON AVENUE PUBLISHED BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AMERICAN BRANCH 35 WEST 32ND STREET NEW YORK CITY TO COLONEL MICHAEL FRIEDSAM New York City MY DEAR COLONEL FRIEDSAM: FEBRUARY 1, 1927 On behalf of our Directors, I wish to thank you for your generosity in making possible the preparation and publication of the first American Year Book on Arbitration. When President Coolidge, in 1925, signed the United States Arbitration Act he fixed for all time in the business system of this country a broad national policy of commercial peace and economy and he gave guidance and stability to American arbitration. You have made it possible for the American Arbitration Association to present to the world the record of arbitral law and practice which now obtains in the United States. We all owe you a debt of appreciation which we hereby acknowledge but we believe the Year Book itself will more than justify your vision and assistance which has made it possible. |
