m WEE“ WEEK
NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-~-One of the
important questions to be considered
by the Assembly of the League of Na-
tion at its first meeting: beginning No-
vember 15. at Geneva. will be the
preparations required to enable the
Lague to use. if necessity arises. the
weapon of International economic and
financial blockade contemplated in
Article XVI of the Covenant.
A'mcmornndum by Sir Eric Drum-
mond. the Secretary General. now be~
ing distributed to the member: of the
League. and received here by the
League to Enforce Peace shows that
this question will come before the As.
sembly. on the recommendation of the
League Council in the form of a pro-
posal to appoint a body to be known
as the International Blockade Com—
mission. The Secretary-General sug-
gests that this commission consist of
representatives nominated by the.
countries entitled to permanent mem-
bership in the Council. with the addi-
tion of representatives or four other
members of the Lemme selected by
the Assembly. for the purpose of
studying the problem and settling the
general plan of action. the organiza-
tion of the. more permanent machin-
ery required and the principles on
which it should work.
This question is of peculiar interest
V
another in the financial and economic
{to the L‘nited States because one of
.the first problems such a commission
:would consider promises to be the
[method of rendering :1 blockade effec-
tive against states which are not
members of the League. In a report
adopted by the Council of the League
at. the San Sebastian meeting in Aug-
ust. M. Tittoni. the Italian representa-
tive, stated: “It should be clear that
the states members or the League of
Nations who declare the blockade
have a right to render it effective
against all states including those who
are not members of the League. but
they have not the right to force the
states who do not form part of the
League to declare the blockade them-
selves."
Article X‘V’I l‘r0\i«lvs that. should
any member of the League resort to
war in disregard of its covenants. all
the other members shall "undertake
inlmcdiately to subject it to the sever—
ance of all trade or financial relations.
and the prevention of all financial.
commercial or personal intercourse
between the nationals of the cow-n-
ant-hreaking' 'state and the nationals
of any other state whether a member
of the League or ifot" and that the
