If the council fails to reach a re port which is unanimously agreed to by the members thereof, other than the representatives of one or more of the parties to the dispute, the mem bers of the league reserve to them selves the right to take such action as they shall consider necessary for the maintenance of right and justice. If a dispute between the parties is claimed by one of them, and is found by the council to arise out of a mat ter which by international law is solely within the domestic jurisdiction of that party, the council shall so report and shall make no recommendation as to its settlement. Council May Refer Case. The council may in any case under this article refer the dispute to the assembly. The dispute shall be so referred at the request of either party to the dispute, provided that such re quest be made within 14 days after the submission of the dispute to the council.

(The paragraph specifically exclud ing matters of "domestic jurisdiction" from action by the council is new. In the last sentence the words "if con curred in by the representatives of those members of the league repre sented on the council," etc., have been added.) Infractions Are Penalized. Article 16. Should any member of the league resort to war in disregard of its covenants under articles 12, 13 or 15, it shall ipso facto beseemed to have committed an act of war against all other members of the league, which hereby undertake im mediately to subject it to the sever ance of all trade or financial rela tions, the prohibition of all inter course between their nationals and the nationals of the covenant-breaking state and the prevention of all finan cial, commercial or personal inter course between the nationals of the A man should not under estimate the importance of hand-tailoring because we have brought it within his means.
