The Council will fix lines which may not he passed Inland, naval or air forces, tho commanders of which will he instructed to avoid “incidents.” The Council, in the event of the violation of its measures shall consider steps for ensuring the execution of the convention. Should a violation load to war, the parties will regard this a prima iacie evidence that the party guilty thereof has resorted to war within the meaning ol Article Sixteen.
The Japanese delegate did not sign the draft. The Polish and Jugo-Slav-ia’s delegates signed with reservations, because the violation of international agreements is not mentioned.
