The Tractor That Stays
IT is pretty generally accepted now that
the farm power of the future will be
generated by kerosene and other low-grade, low
priced fuels. A tractor that operates successfully
on these fuels, insuring dependable power at draw
bar and belt, is the tractor that will stay because it
will pay.
International 8-16 Tractor
has established its reputation for satisfactory per
formance in the school of experience. It has
passed successfully through long and rigid vests
under actual field conditions in all sections of the
country.
Belt work is becoming more and more important.
The use of small threshers, ensilage cutters, etc.,
combined with a suitable tractor, is making the
farmer more and more independent.
All of this emphasizes the value to you of an
International 8-16 tractor that is designed to do
tip-top belt work as well as taking care of field and
road jobs.

THE COVENANTER LETTERS
- A j-.iLP.S;—William H. Taft, ex-President of the
United Suites; George W. Wickersham, formerly U. S.
Attorney Generaj; A. Lawrence Lowell, President Har-
VE )id University; Henry W. Taft, of the New York Bar.
iHE PURPOSE:—To discuss and make clear the various
articles of the Paris Covenant for a League of Nations,
now awaiting ratification by the United States Senate.
TODAY’S LETTER TAKES UP
Arb’ ration
Senator Lodge objected to the
I original League Covenant upon the
ground that it bound us to submit
every possible international dispute
either to the League court or to the
control of the Executive Council of
the League. Senator Root,on the
other hand, objected that it aban
doned the principle of compulsory ar
bitration for which the American
delegation contended in the Second
Hague Conference, and failed to es
tablish a permanent court of arbitra
tion. By the revised Covenant (Ar
ticle XII.)
“The members of the League
agree that if there should arise
between them any dispute likely
to lead to a rupture, they will
submit the matter either to arbi-
tration or to inquiry by the Coun
cil, and they agree in no case to
resort to war until three months
after the award by the arbitrators
or the report by the Council.”
This provision clearly adopts the
principles confended for by the Am
erican delegates to The Hague. It
if supplemented by Article XIII,
’ whereby it is agreed that whenever
any dispute’shall arise between mem
bers of the League, which they recog
nize to be suitable for submission to
arbitration, afid which cannot be sat
isfactorily settled by diplomacy, they
will submit the whole subject matter
to arbitration; and by Article XIV,
which requires the Council to formu
late and submit to the members of
the League for adoption plans for
the establishment) of a permanent
court of international justice, which
shall be competent to hear and de
termine any dispute of an interna
tional character which the parties
may submit to it, and which may also
give an advisory opinion upon any
dispute or question referred to it by
the Council or by the Assembly.
Root’s Criticism.
Senator Root urged an amendment
by which the members of the League
should agree to refer to arbitration
all.disputes of a justiciable charac
ter, which he defined to be.
“disputes as to the interpretation
of a treaty, as to any question of
international law, as to the ex
istence of any fact which, if es
tablished, would constitute a
breach of any international obli
gation, or as to the nature to be
made for any such breach.”
The revised Covenant, without spe
cifically adopting that definition, in
Article XIII, declares all disputes of
the character mentioned by Senator
Root to be
“among those which aje generally
suitable for submission to arbi
tration”;
and further, that for the considera
tion of any such dispute, the court
of arbitration to which the case is
referred shall be the court agreed on
by the parties to the dispute, or stip
ulated in any convention existing be
tween them. If, however, the par
ties to any such dispute should fail
voluntarily to submit it to arbitra
tion, they are bound, by Article XV,
to submit it to the Council. In that
event, the Council is to endeavor to
effect a settlement, and if it fails to
do so, then it may either unanimously
or by a majority vote, publish a re
port containing a statement of the
facts of the dispute and the recom
mendations deemed just and proper
in regard thereto. If the report is
unanimously agreed to by all the
members of the Council, except those
representing the disputants the mem
bers agree not to go to war with any
partly to the dispute which complies
with the recommendations of the re
port. The Council may also refer
any such dispute to the Assembly,
and shall so refer it at the request of
either party, made within fourteen

, days after the submission of the
, dispute to the Council.
Defects Not Irremediable. .
; The defect in this plan is that it
; fails to lay down any rule binding
; upon the Council or the Assembly
for the determination of disputes of
a justiciable nature. The**omission
is somewhat emphasied by the pro
i vision in Article XV, tfhat
“if the dispute between the par
ties is claimed by one of them,
and is found by the Council to
arise out of a matter which by in
ternational law is solely within
the domestic jurisdiction of that
party, the Council shall so report,
and shall make no recommenda
tion as to its settlement.”
In this case, the Council must be
governed in its decision by interna
tional law, whereas there is no such
provision in express language made
binding upon the Council or Assem
bly with respect to arriving at their
recommendations or report concern
ing disputes, even of the nature de
scribed in Article XIII, and defined
by Senator Root as justiciable.
But it can hardly be imagined that
the Council would decide, except up- I
on well recognized principles of in- 1
ternational law, any dispute which in-!
volves the interpretation of a treaty,
a question of international law,
breach of international obligation, or
damages from such breach. It also
may reasonably be assumed that
there will grow up in the application
of these provisions a body of prece
dents which in themselves will con
stitute codifications of international
law, and thus carry out one of the
purposes expressed in the preamble;
namely, the firm establishment of the
understandings of international law
as the actual rule of conduct among
governments.
A Long Step Forward.
Article XVI provided that should
any member of the League resort to
war in disregard of the covenants
above referred to, it shall ipso facto
be deemed to have committed an act
of war against all the other mem
bers of the League, involving as a
consequence: (1) the severance of
all trade or financial relations and
the termination of all intercourse be
tween the members of the League
and .the covenant breaking state; (2)
the expulsion from the League of
the covenant breaking state, and (3)
such military and naval action as
may be agreed upon by the League.
The amended Covenant certainly
has not weakened the provisions of
the original Articles XI, XII, XV and
XVI, concerning which Senator Root
wrote,
“I think those provisions are well

devised ’and should be regarded
as free from any just objection so
far as they relate to the settle
ment of the political questions at
which they are really aimed. The
provisions which taken together
i accomplish this result are of the
highest value. They are devel
! oped naturally from the interna
tional practice of the past. They
are a great step forward. They
create an institution through
which the public opinion of man
kind, condemning unjust aggres
sion, and unnecessary war, may
receive effect and exert its power
for the preservation of peace, in
stead of being dissipated in fruit
less protest of lamentation.
Indeed th e revised covenant ob
viously aims at a wider field, and
embraces within its scope the settle
ment, not only of political, but of
legal questions as well. It is, there
fore, a great improvement upon the
original scheme.
