On July 23, 1940, following the principles of the Stimson Doctrine, Welles issued a statement that became known as the Welles Declaration.

It was an application of the Stimson Doctrine to the Baltic issue.

Like the Stimson Doctrine, Welles' declaration was largely symbolic in nature, although it offered some material benefits in conjunction with Executive Order 8484.

Later known as the Stimson Doctrine, or sometimes the Hoover-Stimson Doctrine, the notes read in part as follows:

"The Legal Foundation of the Stimson Doctrine," Pacific Affairs Vol.

In 1931, when Japan invaded Manchuria, Stimson, as secretary of state, proclaimed the famous "Stimson Doctrine."

January 7 - The Stimson Doctrine is proclaimed, in response to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

The United States and Lithuania: The Stimson Doctrine of Nonrecognition.

He therefore devised the Stimson Doctrine, a policy of nonrecognition of the territory in Manchuria claimed by Japan.

In the Baltic states the court rulings were accepted within the general lines of the Western non-recognition policy (see Stimson Doctrine).
