Put in that form, it is not a matter with
which I can deal. There may, of course, be good
reasons for the non-observance of a Convention and
it may be that having regard to all the circumstances
no regard should be paid to protests in the matter,
but that is a question of policy. I have only had
regard to what I think is the correct interpretation
of the Convention and given to words and expressions
used in it their ordinary meaning. From that point
of view I do not think I have got anything to with-
draw from what I said on 40753/25.
