Message of the President of the United States, Transmitting, in compliance with resolutions of the House, information relative to discriminations in Switzerland against citizens of the United States of the Hebrew persuasion. [Washington, 1860]. English.
"Message of the President of the United States", official publication from the 36th US Congress – a collection of documents and letters to and from official representatives, delegates and ministers in the U.S. and Switzerland discussing the issue of the discrimination of Jewish U.S. citizens in Switzerland. The documents and letters were collected by order of American President James Buchanan and presented to the House of Representatives in April 1860.
In 1850 the U.S. and Switzerland had signed a commercial treaty which included a paragraph prohibiting American Jews from engaging in trade in Switzerland (at the time Swiss Jews had not yet been granted equal rights). The treaty incited outrage among American Jews, and many of them were involved in the attempt to amend or abrogate it.
