FINAL PROTOCOL.
At the moment of proceeding this day to the signature of the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between Japan and Siam, the Plenipotentiaries of the two High Contracting Parties have agreed as follows:
1. The stipulations contained in this Treaty do not in any way affect, supersede or modify any of the laws and regulations with regard to naturalization, immigration and public order, which are in force or which may be enacted in either of the two countries, provided that they do not constitute measures of discrimination particularly directed against the subjects of the other.
2. The terms of the treatment of the most favoured nation in this Treaty are to be interpreted as immediate and unconditional unless otherwise expressly provided.
3. The national fisheries of each of the High Contracting Parties shall be regulated according to the laws and regulations of that Party. It is understood, however, that the subjects of either of the High Contracting Parties in the territories of the other shall enjoy in this respect the same rights and privileges as may be granted to the subjects or citizens of any other country.
4. In all that concerns the provisions of Article 2 of the Treaty, the subjects of either of the High Contracting Parties shall not be treated by the other less favourably than the subjects or citizens of any other country.
5. In the event of any form of quantitative limitation being established for the importation or exportation of articles, each of the High Contracting Parties agrees to grant for the importation from or exportation to the territories of the other Party an equitable apportionment of the quantity of restricted articles which may be authorized for importation or exportation.
6. Articles, the produce or manufacture of the territories of either of the High Contracting Parties, passing in transit through the territories of the other, shall be free from transit duties as provided for in the Convention and Statute on Freedom of Transit concluded at Barcelona, April 20, 1921.
7. The provisions of Article 11 of the Treaty shall not be deemed to prevent either of the High Contracting Parties from charging differing rates in the collection of sale licence fees between imported spirituous liquors and those manufactured by or under licence from the State.
8. It is understood that the provisions prescribing most-favoured-nation treatment in this Treaty do not apply to favours, advantages and privileges in regard to Customs tariffs which may be granted by Japan to articles produced or manufactured in Manchoukuo.
The present Protocol is to be deemed ratified by the ratification of the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation signed this day and shall have the same duration as that Treaty.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned Plenipotentiaries have hereunto signed their names and affixed their seals.
