case of good offices and mediation.
and says:
fThe demand OF good Offices or
their acceptance does not confer the
right of mediating."
John Hay. when secretary Of
state, said:
THE phrase good offices being
somewhat elastic, should be confined
TO two contingencies. In its first
sense, 1t corresponds to the French
term, 'officieux.' in its second sense,
II is allied TO arbitral intermediation
as an impartial adviser Of both par
ties, and not only implies, but re-
quires the assent of both parties and
oftener spontaneous invitation from
each"
The Hague convention uses two
terms. good offices and mediation in
terchangeably. The Hague provisions
follow:
Article Il-In case of serious dis
agreement or conflict before an ap
peal to arms, the signatory powers
agree TO have recourse, as far as cir
cumstances allow, to the good offices
or mediation of one or more friend
ly powers.
Article Ill lII.-lndependently of this
recourse, the signatory powers rec
ommend that one or more powers
strangers to the dispute, should, or
their own initiative and as far AZ
circumstances may allow, offer theil
good offices or mediation to th'
states at variances.
Powers, strangers to the dispute
have the right to offer their good of
fees or mediation even during thu
course of hostilities.
"The exercise of this right car
never be regarded as one or the 9th
er OF the parties in conflict as al
unfriendly act
The Hague convention also pre-
yides that "the acceptance of media
ton cannot, unless there be agree
ment TO the contrary, have the effec
of interrupting, delaying or hinderin
mobilization or other measures Q
preparation for war If mediation o'
ours after the commencement of hot
T tilities IL causes no interruption
Z the military operations in progress
E unless there be an agreement to IN
contrary"
