The agreement sets up a

representatives of the four big
powers and several of the smaller
nations. If a majority OF this
council, including the big four"
members, vote to restrain an ag-
gressor state, the United States.
Britain. Russia and China will
automatically assume the right
to use military or naval force
against the guilty nation without
waiting for a declaration OF war.
Under these circumstances, the
big power nearest the aggressor
