The Assembly. FIFTH LEAGUE ASSEMBLY. The fifth annual assembly of the league of nations was held in Geneva, Switzerland, beginning Sept. 1 and ending Oct. 2, 1924. Giuseppe Motta, former president of Switzerland, was elected president of the assembly and the following were chosen as vice-presidents: Leon Bourgeois, France; Lord Parmoor, Great Britain; Sig. Salandra, Italy; M. Urrutia. Colombia; Count Skrzynski, Poland, and Tung Tsia-fou, China. The chairmen of six fixed committees were also chosen. Of these committees the most important was that on disarmament, of which M. Duca of Roumania was made chairman. At the first session the assembly was informed through the American minister to Switzerland, Hugh Gibson, that the United States declined the invitation to be represented on the committee on disarmament while at the same time Secretary Hughes pointed out that the United States was "disposed to give favorable consideration to the invitation to participate in an appropriate international conference on the subject." On Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald appeared before the assembly on Sept. 4 and gave his views on security pacts and military alliances and on fixing responsibility for aggression. He declared that arbitration was the sole way to attribute responsibility to aggressors. Sept. 5 Premier Herriot of France, speaking before the assembly, accepted the British proposal of arbitration in place of the military provisions in the mutual assistance pact which France had proposed. On Sept. 6 the assembly passed the following resolution: "The assembly, noting the declarations the governments represented, remarks satisfaction that they contain a basis of understanding tending to establish and secure peace, and decided as follows: of with "With a view to reconciling in new proposals the divergencies between certain points of view which have been expressed, and, when an agreement has been reached, to enable an international conference on armaments to be summoned by the league of nations at the earliest possible moment; (1) The third committee is requested to consider the material dealing with security and re The assembly consists of representatives of duction of armaments, particularly the obIt meets at the members of the league. stated intervals and from time to time as oc casion may require at Geneva or at such other place as may be decided upon. It may deal with any matter within the sphere of the action of the league or affecting the peace of the world. Each member of the league has one vote and may be represented by not more than three representatives. servations of the governments on the draft treaty of mutual assistance prepared in pursuance with resolution 14 of the third assembly, and other plans prepared and presented to the secretariat since publication of the draft treaty, and to examine the obligations contained in the covenant of the league in relation to guaranties of security that a resort to arbitration and reduction of armaments may require; (2) the first committee is requested to consider, in view of possible amendments, the articles in the covenant relating to settlement of disputes; to examine within what limits the terms of article 36. paragraph 2, of the statutes establishing the international court might be rendered more precise and thereby facilitate more general acceptance of the clause; and thus strengthen the solidarity and security of the nations of the world by settling by pacific means all disputes which may arise between the states.' PROTOCOL REPORTED. On Sept. 22 the members having the drafting of a protocol of arbitration and security presented their report to the committee on On Sept. 30 Japan secured the disarmament. adoption of an amendment bearing directly on immigration and other domestic questions. On Oct. 2. the last day of the session, the assembly by unanimous vote passed a resolution urging all the governments to ratify the protocol. Compulsory Arbitration. Following is a summary of the agreement, which officially is styled "Draft Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes": Articles 1 to 8 of the protocol deal with compulsory arbitration, and, with an introduction, were drafted by M. Politis of Greece. The introduction says: "Compulsory arbitration is the fundamental basis of the proposed system. It has seemed to be the only means of attaining the ultimate aim pursued by the league of nations viz., the establishment of a pacific and legal order in the relations between peoples. "The covenant of the league of nations erected a wall of protection around the peace of the world, but it did not succeed in closing the circle sufficiently thoroughly to leave no opening for war. The new system of the protocol goes further. It closes the circle drawn by the covenant; it prohibits all wars of aggression. Henceforth no purely private war between nations will be tolerated. . "The arbitration now contemplated is only part of a great pacific mechanism. It works under the auspices and control of the council of the league of nations. It is more an instrument of peace than an instrument of justice. Thanks to the intervention of the council, its application is automatically insured; in no case can it be thrown on one side through the ill will of one of the disputant states. The awards to which it leads are always accompanied by a sanction." The preamble sets forth that one of the purposes of the protocol is the realization of the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with national safety and the enforcement by common action of international obligations. Article 2 says: The signatory states agree in no case to resort to war, either with one another or against a state which, if occasion arises, accepts ali the obligations hereafter set out, except in case of resistance to acts of aggression or when acting in agreement with the council or assembly of the league of nations in accordance with the provisions of the covenant and the present protocol." Article 3 commits the signatories to the acceptance of the compulsory arbitration clause of the world court. Reservations are mitted, but accession must be given within a month from the time the protocol enters into force. per Article 4 on arbitration completes the provisions of article 15 of the league covenant as follows: "If a dispute submitted to the council is not settled by it as provided in paragraph 3. article 16, the council shall endeavor to persuade the parties to submit the dispute to judicial settlement or arbitration. If the parties cannot agree to do so, there shall, at the request of at least one of the parties, be constituted a committee of arbitrators. This committee shall, so far as possible, be constituted by agreement between the parties. "If within the period fixed by the council the parties have failed to agree, in whole or in part, upon the number of names and powers of the arbitrators, and upon the procedure, the council shall settle the point remaining in susDense. It will, with the utmost possible dispatch, select, in consultations with the parties, the arbitrators and their president from among persons who, by their nationality, their personal character and experience, appear to furnish the highest guaranties of competence and impartiality. ion, upon any points of law in dispute, from the permanent court of international justice. If none of the parties asks for arbitration, the council shall again take the dispute under consideration. "If the council reaches a report which is unanimously agreed to by the members thereof, other than representatives of any of the parties to the dispute, the signatory states agree to comply with the recommendations therein. If the council fails to reach a report which is concurred in by all the members, other than representatives of any of the parties to the dispute, it shall submit the dispute to arbitration. Will Carry Out Award. "In no case may a solution upon which there has already been a unanimous recommendation by the council, and which has been accepted by one of the parties_concerned, be again called into question. The signatory states undertake to carry out in full and in good faith any judicial sentence or arbitral award that may be rendered and will comply with the solutions recommended by the council. "In the event of a state's failing to carry out the above undertakings the council shall exert all influence to obtain compliance therewith. If it fails therein, it shall propose what steps should be taken to give effect thereto. in accordance with the provisions contained at the end of article 13 of the covenant. "Should a state, in disregard of the above undertakings, resort to war, sanctions provided for by article 16 of the covenant, and interpreted in the manner indicated by the protocol, shall immediately become applicable to it." Japanese Amendment. Clause 5, on domestic jurisdiction, which was amended at the request of the Japanese, says: "The provision of paragraph 8, article 15. of the covenant shall continue to apply in proceedings before the council. If in the course of arbitration one of the parties claims that the dispute, or a part thereof, arises out of a matter which by international law is solely within the domestic jurisdiction of the party. the arbitrators shall on this point take the advice of the permanent court of international justice, through the medium of the council. "The opinion of the court shall be binding upon the arbitrators, who, if the opinion is affirmative. shall confine themselves to so declaring in their award. If the question is held by the court or council to be a matter solely within the domestic jurisdiction of the state. this decision shall not prevent a consideration of the situation by the council or assembly under article 11 of the covenant." Not to Increase Armament. By article 7, if a dispute arises the states agree that, before submitting the same to ar bitration or during arbitration. they will not increase their armaments as regulated by next year's conference. Authority is provided to investigate whether increases occur and any guilty state will be summoned by the council. If it refuses to obey the summons the council, by a two-thirds vote, may decide upon measures to end the situation threatening peace. Article 9 recommends the establishment of demilitarized zones. Article 10, defining an ag gressor, which was also amended at the request of the Japanese, says: "A state which resorts to war in violation of the understanding contained in the covenant or in the present protocol is an aggressor. Violation of the rules laid down in demilitarized zones shall be held as equivalent to a resort to war. "After the claims of the parties have been formulated, the committee of arbitrators, upon the request of any party, shall through the "In the event of hostilities having broken edium of the council request advisory opin-out, any state shall be presumed to be an ag gressor unless a decision of the council, which must be taken unanimously, shall otherwise declare, if it has refused to submit the dispute to the procedure of specific settlement provided by articles 13 and 15 of the covenant, amplified by the present protocol. or comply with the judicial sentence or arbitral award, or with the unanimous recommendation of the council, or has disregarded the unanimous report of the council or a judicial sentence or arbitral award recognizing that the dispute between it and the other belligerent states arise out of a matter which, by international law. is solely within the domestic jurisdiction of the latter states. "Nevertheless. in the last case. the state shall only be presumed to be an aggressor if it has not previously submitted the question to the council or assembly in accordance with article 11 of the covenant, also if it has violated provisional measures enjoined by the council for the period while the proceedings are in progress, as contemplated in article 7 of the protocol. "Apart from the cases dealt with above, if the council does not at once succeed in determining the aggressor, it shall be bound to enjoin upon the belligerents an armistice and shall fix the terms, acting, if need be, by twothirds vote, and shall supervise the execution. Any belligerent which has refused to accept the armistice or has violated its terms shall be deemed an aggressor. The council shall call upon the signatory states to apply forthwith against the aggressor the sanctions provided by article 11 of the present protocol, and any signatory state thus called upon shall thereupon be entitled to exercise the rights of a belligerent." Article on Sanctions. Article 11 on sanctions declares that as soon as the council has called upon signatory states to apply sanctions, the obligations of the states in regard to sanctions of all kinds mentioned in article 16 of the covenant will immediately become operative for employment. The article continues: Those obligations shall be interpreted as obliging each of the signatory states to cooperate loyally and effectively to support the covenant of the league of nations and, in resistance to any act of aggression, in a degree according to its geographical position and its particular situation as regards armaments." re In accordance with paragraph 3. article 16. of the covenant, the signatory states agree jointly and severally to the undertaking to come to the assistance of the state attacked or threatened and to give each other mutual of support by means of the facilities ciprocal exchanges as regards provisions of raw materials and supplies of every kind, openings of credits, transport and transit, and for this purpose to take all measures in their power to preserve the safety of communication by land and sea of the attacked or the threatened state. "If both parties to the dispute are aggressors within the meaning of article 10. economic and financial sanctions shall be applied to both of them." au Article 13 calls upon the states to inform the council what military and naval air forces they would be able to bring into action immediately for fulfillment of the obligations of the covenant and protocol. This article thorizes the operation of special regional military agreements, thereby meeting the French desire for security, provided the agreements are registered and published and are open to the adherence of all the member states. Article 16, which possesses importance to nonmembers of the league, says: "The signatory states agree that in the event of a dispute between one or more of them and one or more states which have not signed the protocol and are not members of the league of nations, such nonmember states shall be invited. on conditions contemplated in article 17 of the covenant, to submit, for the purpose of pacific settlement, to the obligations accepted by states which are signatories to the present protocol. "If the state so invited, having refused to accept said conditions and obligations, resorts to war against a signatory state. provisions of article 16 of the covenant, as defined by the present proctocol, shall be applicable against it." If by May 1 the protocol has not been ratified by a majority of the permanent members of the council and ten other league members the council shall decide whether to cancel the invitation or adjourn the conference. If sufficiently ratified the protocol will enter into force as soon as the plan for reduction of armaments has been adopted by the council If the plan is not carried out the council may declare the proctocol null and void, but the grounds on which the council may so make this declaration must be laid down by the conference itself. WORK DONE BY THE LEAGUE. The league of nations since its establish. ment has been active in many directions not only in the settlement of international disputes but in the promotion of the health, morality and happiness of the people generally. It has assisted in creating a stronger sentiment in favor of the limitation of armaments and in bringing about better relations between labor and capital. It has helped to repatriate thousands of prisoners of war, to feed the starving and to improve the economic conditions of individual nations. It has carried out the terms of the treaty of Versailles with respect to various mandated territories. It has handled and virtually settled without bloodshed the following international disputes. which otherwise might have resulted in war. 1. The Aaland islands dispute between Finland and Sweden. 2. The dispute between Poland and Lithuania as to the possession of Vilna. 3. The dispute between Poland and Germany as to the division of Upper Silesia. Jugoslavia as to the boundaries of Albania, 4. The dispute between Italy, Greece and 5. The boundary dispute between Czechoslovakia and Hungary. In addition to these things the league has brought about the financial reconstruction of Austria and has established, a permanent court of international justice at The Hague. Finally it has prepared the way for the abolition of aggressive warfare by drafting the protocol of which an outline has been given above. COURT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE.
