ARTICLE XVI
Sanctions Behind Obligations

The world was has brought home
The need of having behind interna-
tlonal obliga tons a sanction that shall
make them a binding force, instead
of mere honorable engagements.
Without Article X and XVI the
League would be no more than an
agreement on the part of the mem
bers that they would do right with
no compulsion for those that broke
faith. These articles make it real
association to maintain and enforcee
peace
The two articles must be read to-
gether. To large extent they cover
the same ground, and provide for the
same contingencN, Article XVI de-
iclaring in part how the obligations of
Article are to be carried OUT and
yet they do not wholly coincide.
Cases may arise which bring one of
/ them into effect but do not touch the
other. If, for example, an arbitral
award, let us say on "a question of ill
treatment of citizens is made in favor
of one nation with which the other
fails TO comply, the first may, to COM
pei compliance. attack the second
without incurring the penalties of. Ar
iticle XNI, because it is not resorting
TO war in disregard of its covenants.
But the first nation would not be at
liberty to destroy the Independence of
annex the territory of the second.
That would entail the obligation of
Article y. on the other hand, a
war for the same cause begun without
submission to inquiry would be vio-
lation of Article XVI, but not of
Article y if it did not involve the
try attacked. This was true of our
was in 1912: and on the same prin-
ciple President Roosevelt took the
ground that hostilities by European
nations to collect claims against Ven
ezuela did not violate the Monroe
Doctrine If no annexation of terri
tory or destruction of Independence
was contemplated.
Works Automatically
Article XVI declares that IL any
members of the League should resort
to war in disregard of its covenants
"it shall ipso facto be deemed to have
committed an act of war against all
other members of the League which
hereby undertake Immediately To sub
iect it" to a boycott and blockade, and
to do certain other things. Now it
must be observed that this sanction
is automatic on the part of the mem
hers of the League. In case of a
resort TO war contrary to the Gov

enant, they undertake Jointly and sew
orally to subject the offending ma
ton TO the prescribed penalty inn
mediately-not if and when directed
by the Council. That body has no
power to order or to release the OBJ
legation which is made by the mem-
bers, not with il but with one another
as mutual guarantee. If France,
for example, should be attacked by
Germany, she would have a right to
call upon us, and all the other mem
bers of the League to seven all trade
and intercourse with Germany. and
we should be bound by the Covenant
to do whatsoever the Council might

the Council has nothing to do with the
matter, except to recommend what

members of the League shall several

The members of the League agree
that an attack made in disregard of
the Covenant upon any one of them

SO. But they do agree to subject it

Other people criticize the Covenant
from the opposite standpoint They
complain that it may bring us into
n war in the causes of which we are
not directly concerned, and that our
young men may be sacrificed in for
eign quarrels. often without being
conscious of it, these critics are ultra
pacifists for til " shrink from using
the force necessary to prevent war in
the world. They are like people who
should object to a police force created
to maintain order in the streets for
fear that the policemen might get
hurt. If we believe in preventing war
we must use the means necessary to
do so. We must be willing to risk a
small sacrifice to insure against u
larger one.
