Terms of the treaty
Article 1 obliged the Hungarian government to grant to the US government all rights and privileges enjoyed by the other Allied Powers who ratified the peace treaty signed in Paris.
Article 2 specified which articles of the Trianon treaty shall apply to the United States.
Article 3 provided for the exchange of ratifications in Budapest.

The treaty was supplemented by a treaty signed in Washington on November 26, 1924, which provided for the establishment of a mixed U.S.–Austrian–Hungarian commission to decide amount of reparations to be paid by the Austrian and Hungarian governments to the U.S.[3]
