declared that disputes of the kind mentioned above are "among those which are generally suitablo" for such submission. If the word "generally" wore not in the Covenant, there would be no need for the Optional Clause, for the

The point to be borne in mind: is that it makes a vitally important difference which of the two methods for the settlement of disputes is chosen. If the way of arbitration or judicial decision is. accepted, then the decision of the arbitrators or the judges has to be accepted and carried out in good faith. In fact, by deciding to have recourse to such procedure, the disputants renounce their right to settle their difference by war. On the other hand, if they choose the way of conciliation, then that right of war is retained, and the disputants are still free to use the threat of violence as an in- strument in their negotiations.
