the canal to be closed to any belligerent nation; but under Article XX of the League of Nations Covenant' members of the League severally agreed that all obligations inconsistent with the terms of the Covenant were automatically abrogated.

It was therefore recognised that if the League Council declared an embargo upon arms to Somaliland and Eritrea it would be within the competence of that body to order the examination of all ships passing through the canal.

Further, it would be possible to seize all cargo com- ing within the scope of the embargo.
