Steinhardt, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Sweden, to effect with any person or persons duly authorized thereto by the Government of Sweden, the exchange of my ratification for that of the Government aforesaid, of the Supplementary Extradition Treaty between the United States of America and Sweden, concluded at Washington, May 17, 1934.” Countersigned by Secretary of State Cordell Hull with the official white seal affixed.
