of the Protocol of December 16th, 1920, as was indeed envisaged by the Secretary of State of the United States in his reply to the Secretary-General of the League of Nations dated April 17th, 1926. To this end, it is desirable that the States signatories of the Protocol of December 16th, 1920, should conclude with the United States a protocol of execution which, subject to such further exchange of views as the Government of the United States may think useful, might be in the form set out below (Annex B).

The Registrar shall also, by means of a special and direct communication, notify any Member of the League or States admitted to appear before the Court or international organisations considered by the Court (or, should it not be sitting, by the President) as likely to be able to furnish information on the question, that the Court will be prepared to receive, within a time limit to be fixed by the President, written statements, or to hear, at a public sitting to be held for the purpose, oral statements relating to the question. Should any State or Member referred to in the first paragraph have failed to receive the communication specified above, such State or Member may express a desire to submit a written statement, or to be heard; and the Court will decide. 2. States, Members and organisations having presented written or oral statements or both shall be admitted to comment on the statements made by other States, Members or organisations, in the form, to the extent and within the time limits which the Court or, should it not be sitting, the President shall decide in each particular case.
