This article states: "and the need for to enter the customs territory of the United States in order for the islands to be able to cope with their economic crisis." Really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.16 (talk) 10:33, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So were residents granted US citizenship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.115.100 (talk) 03:42, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is it true the French had some residual rights in the island of St. Croix, and that is why it was not offered? If so, why was it offered later? 2.28.140.78 (talk) 23:54, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These two statements seem at odds with each other.

"a sum of US$25,000,000 in gold (US$ 550,230,000 in 2017)." "$25,000,000 in gold coin in 1917 is equal to US$ 1,385,283,300 as of October 20, 2016"

According to CME group, $1 in gold coin face-value is worth about $58.03 today. That would land us at $1,450,750,000 in modern day gold value. According to US Inflation Calculator, 1 US dollar is worth $24.24. That would land us at $606,078,282.83 at the end of 2016.

So, I suspect both are right depending on how you want to calculate the value. Since it was paid in gold, I propose we update to the current gold value. I'm going to do that and leave this talk notification for anyone who has questions.

I foresee this article will get more activity in the near future for some reason.

We already have reverts like:

>This declaration was not in the Treaty. See Treaty image in the article.

Which tries to remove sourced text from the article by misinterpreting sources to their view. The photo in the article is of the receipt, the treaty is linked as material under *External links*.

While signed in 1916 it was finalized in 1917

The United States State department classifies it as a 1917 treaty.
