Hague Opium Convention, as provided in Public Resolution Numbered 96, Sixty-seventh Congress, approved March 2, 1923, represented the objects which the treaty was intended to accomplish, and that any other construction would render the treaty ineffective and of no practical value, and accordingly it was decided: “1. If the purpose of The Hague Opium Convention is to be achieved according to its spirit and true intent; it must be recognized that the use of opium products for other than medical and scientific purposes is an abuse and not legitimate. “2. In order to prevent the abuse of these products it is necessary to exercise the control of the production of raw opium in such a manner that there will be no surplus available for nonmedical and nonscientific purposes”; and Whereas it was further decided at said conferences that two international conferences should be called in the latter part of the year 1924 to agree upon a plan to enforce said treaty in accordance with said construction and interpretation bearing in mind that the gradual suppression of the traffic in and use of prepared opium as provided in Chapter II of the convention is not yet accomplished, reservations to that effect having been noted by certain powers (Great Britain.

La Plata River compact.

“The State of Colorado and the State of New Mexico, desiring to provide for the equitable distribution of the waters of the La Plata River and to remove all causes of present and future controversy between them with respect thereto, and being moved by considerations of interstate comity, pursuant to Acts of their respective legislatures, have resolved to conclude a compact for these purposes and have named as their commissioners Delph E. Carpenter, for the State of Colorado, and Stephen B. Davis, junior, for the State of New Mexico, who have agreed upon the following articles:

“Article I.

“The State of Colorado, at its own expense, shall establish and maintain two permanent stream-gauging stations upon the La Plata River for the purpose of measuring and recording its flow, which shall be known as the Hesperus station and the interstate station, respectively.

“The Hesperus station shall be located at some convenient place near the village of Hesperus, Colorado. Suitable devices for ascertaining and recording the volume of all diversions from the river above Hesperus station shall be established and maintained (without expense to the State of New Mexico), and whenever in this compact reference is made to the flow of the river at Hesperus station it shall be construed to include the amount of the concurrent diversions above said station.

“The interstate station shall be located at some convenient place within one mile of and above or below the interstate line. Suitable devices for ascertaining and recording the volume of water diverted by the Enterprise and Pioneer Canals, now serving approximately equal areas in both States, shall be established and maintained (without expense to the State of New Mexico), and whenever in this compact reference is made to the flow of the river at the interstate station it shall be construed to include one-half the volume of the concurrent diversions by such canals, and also the volume of any other water which may hereafter be diverted from said river in Colorado for use in New Mexico.

“Each of said stations shall be equipped with suitable devices for recording the flow of water in said river at all times between the 15th day of February and the 1st day of December of each year. The State engineers of the signatory States shall make provision for cooperative gauging at two stations, for the details of the operation, exchange of records and data, and publication of the facts.

797

“Article II. “The waters of the La Plata River are hereby equitably apportioned

between the signatory States, including the citizens thereof, as follows: “1. At all times between the 1st day of December and the 15th day of the succeeding February each State shall have the unrestricted right to the use of all water which may flow within its boundaries. “2. By reason of the usual annual rise and fall, the flow of said river between the 15th day of February and the 1st day of December of each year shall be apportioned between the States in the following manner: “(a) Each State shall have the unrestricted right to use all the waters within its boundaries on each day when the mean daily flow at the interstate station is one hundred cubic feet per second, or more. “(b) On all other days the State of Colorado shall deliver at the interstate station a quantity of water equivalent to one-half of the mean flow at the Hesperus station for the preceding day, but not to exceed one hundred cubic feet per second. “3. Whenever the flow of the river is so low that in the judgment of the State engineers of the States the greatest beneficial use of its waters may be secured by distributing all of its waters successively to the lands in each State in alternating periods, in lieu of delivery of water as provided in the second paragraph of this article, the use of the waters may be so rotated between the two States in such manner, for such periods, and to continue for such time as the State engineers may jointly determine. “4. The State of New Mexico shall not at any time be. entitled to receive nor shall the State of Colorado be required to deliver any water not then necessary for beneficial use in the State of New Mexico. “5. A substantial delivery of water under the terms of this article shall be deemed a compliance with its provisions and minor and compensating irregularities in flow or delivery shall be disregarded.

“Article III. “The State engineers of the States, by agreements from time to time, may formulate rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of this compact, which, when signed and promulgated by them, shall be binding until amended by agreement between them or until terminated by written notice from one to the other.

“Article IV. “Whenever any official of either State is designated to perform any duty under this contract, such designation shall be interpreted to include the State official or officials upon whom the duties now performed by such official may hereafter devolve.

“Article V. “The physical and other conditions peculiar to the La Plata River and the territory drained and served thereby constitute the basis for this compact, and neither of the signatory States concedes the establishment of any general principle or precedent by the concluding of this compact.

798

“Article VI.

La Plata River compact—Continued.

“This compact may be modified or terminated at any time by mutual consent of the signatory States, and upon such termination all rights then established hereunder shall continue unimpaired.

“Article VII.

“This compact shall become operative when approved by the legislature of each of the signatory States and by the Congress of the United States. Notice of approval by the legislatures shall be given by the governor of each State to the governor of the other State, and the President of the United States is requested to give notice to the governors of the signatory States of approval by the Congress of the United States.

“In witness whereof, the commissioners have signed this compact in duplicate originals, one of which shall be deposited with the secretary of state of each of the signatory States.

“Done at the city of Santa Fe, in the State of New Mexico, this twenty-seventh day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two.”

Causes for discharges, etc.

Discharges and variations of orders may be made for either of the following causes: Because the person adjudged to be feeble-minded is not feeble-minded; because he has so far improved as to be capable of caring for himself; because the relatives or friends of the feeble-minded person are able and willing to supervise, control, care for, and support him, and request his discharge, and in the judgment of the superintendent of the institution having the person in charge no evil consequences are 1139likely to follow such discharge; but the enumeration of grounds of discharge or variation herein shall not exclude other grounds of discharge or variation which the court, in its discretion, may deem adequate, having due regard for the welfare of the person concerned or the welfare of others or the welfare of the community. On any petition of discharge or variation the court may discharge the feeble-minded person from all supervision, control, and care, or make such variation of the order as to maintenance as the court thinks fit under all the circumstances appearing on the hearing of the petition.

When any person shall become insane while confined in said institution and the superintendent shall certify in writing that such patient is insane and is not a fit subject for care and maintenance at said institution, the said Supreme Court shall issue an order

Support, etc.

Sec.23.

Inmates of Boys or Girls Training Schools, if found feeble-minded, may be transferred.

Whenever the superintendent of the National Training School for Boys or of the National Training School for Girls shall certify to the said court that in his opinion any inmate thereof has become or is feeble-minded, the court shall permit such superintendent or any other reputable citizen of the District of Columbia to file a petition as provided in section 9 of this Act. If such inmate shall be found and adjudged to be feeble-minded, the court shall immediately issue an order for his admission as a public patient to the District Training School.

Sec. 24.

Removal of persons not legal residents of the District.

The District Training School is intended for the benefit of bona fide residents of the District of Columbia. The Board of Charities shall cause any person who has been admitted, but who has not acquired a legal residence in the District, to be removed as soon as possible to the State in which he belongs.

Sec. 25.

Paroles, etc., may be granted.

It shall be within the discretion of the superintendent, under general conditions prescribed by the Board of Charities, to grant paroles to patients where the conditions in the homes in which they are to reside are satisfactory and where such paroles are deemed by the superintendent as not injurious to the interest of the patients

It shall be within the discretion of the superintendent to grant a parole for an indefinite period to a patient who has improved sufficiently to warrant such opportunity and when satisfactory supervision for such patient while on such leave is assured. If the conditions of any parole granted under this Act are violated, the patient may be taken up and returned the same as an escaped patient.

Sec. 26.

Service on Inmates to be only by superintendent.

Any citation, order, or process required by law to be served on an inmate of the institution shall be served only by the superintendent or by some one designated in writing by him.

Return, etc.

Return thereof to the court from which the same issued may be made by the person making such service and such service and return shall have the same force and effect as if it had been made by the United States marshal of the District of Columbia or by the sheriff of the county in which the institution may be located.

Sec. 27.

No contract by patient allowed unless first approved and entered of record by District Supreme Court.

No public or private patient in said institution shall be allowed to execute any contract, deed, will, or other instrument unless such execution shall have first been allowed and approved by an order to be entered of record by the said Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and a certified copy of such order shall be furnished to the superintendent at the time of the execution of such instrument. Such order of the court shall be evidence only of the capacity of such patient to make such instrument.

Explanatory note.

Order of scrapping.

Dans les tableaux précédents, l’ordre suivant lequel sont inscrits les navires à déclasser est celui de leur âge. Il est entendu que, quand les remplacements commenceront conformément aux dits tableaux, l’ordre de déclassement des navires de chaque Puissance Contractante pourra être changé au gré de cette Puissance, pourvu qu’elle déclasse chaque année le nombre de navires indiqué par ces tableaux. Partie 4. definitions.

Definitions.

Dans le présent Traité, les expressions suivantes doivent s’entendre respectivement avec le sens ciaprès. Navire de Ligne.

Capital ship.

Un navire de ligne, en ce qui concerne les navires à construire dans l’avenir, est un navire de guerre autre qu’un navire porteaéronefs, dont le déplacement type est supérieur à 10.000 tonnes (10.160 tonnes métriques), ou qui porte un canon d’un calibre supérieur à 8 pouces (203 millimètres). Navire Porte-Aeronefs.

Air craft carrier.

Un navire porteaéronefs est un navire de guerre d’un déplacement type supérieur à 10.000 tonnes (10.160 tonnes métriques), spécifiquement et exclusivement destiné à porter des aéronefs. Il doit être construit de manière qu’un aéronef puisse y prendre son vol ou s’y poser. Son plan et sa construction ne doivent pas lui permettre de porter un armement plus puissant que celui

autorise soit par l’article IX, soit par l’article X, selon le cas. Deplacement Type.

Standard displacement.

Le déplacement type d’un navire est le déplacement du navire achevé, avec son équipage complet, ses machines et chaudières, 1681prêt à prendre la mer, ayant tout son armement et toutes ses munitions, ses installations, équipements, vivres, eau douce pour l’équipage, approvisionnements divers, outillages et rechanges de toute nature qu’il doit emporter en temps de guerre, mais sans combustible et sans eau de réserve pour l’alimentation des machines et chaudières.

Le mot tonne employé dans le

Ton.

America, the British Empire, France, Italy and Japan to limit their respective naval armament, concluded at Washington on February 6, 1922, the undersigned representatives of the United States of America, the British Empire, France, Italy and Japan, this day met at the Department of State at Washington to proceed with the deposit with the Government of the United States of America of the instruments of ratification of the said Treaty by the governments they represent.

The representative of the Government of the French Republic made the following

declaration:

“ Le Gouvernement français estime et a toujours estimé que les rapports des tonnages globaux en bâtiments de ligne et en porteaéronefs, attribués à chacune des Puissances Contractantes, n’expriment pas l’importance respective des intérêts maritimes de ces Puissances et ne peuvent être étendus aux catégories de navires autres que celles pour lesquelles ils ont été expressément stipulés.”¹¹The French Government considers and always has considered that the ratios of total tonnage in capital ships and aircraft carriers allowed to the several Contracting Powers do not represent the respective importance of the maritime interests of those Powers and cannot be extended to the categories of vessels other than those for which they were expressly stipulated.

The instruments of ratification produced having been found upon examination to be in due form, are entrusted to the Government of the United States of America to be deposited in the archives of the Department of State.

In witness whereof, the present procès-verbal, of which a certified copy will

If the committee find it necessary either to increase beyond 300,000 francs, the fixed part of the annual appropriation or to modify the computation of the contributions as determined by Article 20, of these regulations, it should lay the matter before the governments so as to enable them to issue in good time the needed instructions to their delegates to the next General Conference in order that the said conference may deliberate to good purpose.

The advantages and prerogatives conferred by adhering to the Meter Convention are suspended in the case of states that have been delinquent three years.

Excellency:

From Secretary of State

In connection with the signing today of an agreement for the renewal of the Convention of Arbitration concluded between the United States and Great Britain, April 4, 1908, and renewed from time to time, I have the honor, in pursuance of our informal conversations, to state the following understanding which I shall be glad to have you confirm on behalf of your Government.

On February 24 last the President proposed to the Senate that it consent under certain stated conditions to the adhesion by the United States to the Protocol of December 16, 1920, under which the Permanent Court of International Justice had been created at The Hague. As the Senate does not convene in its regular session until December next, action upon this proposal will necessarily be delayed. In the event that the Senate gives its assent to the proposal, I understand that the British Government will not be averse to considering a modification of the Convention of Arbitration which we are renewing, or the making of a separate agreement, providing for the reference of disputes mentioned in the Convention to the Permanent Court of International Justice.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurance of my highest consideration.

Principles governing decisions for indemnity.

El Gobierno Mexicano desea que las reclamaciones sean falladas de esa manera, porque México quiere que su responsabilidad no se fije según las reglas y principios generalmente aceptados de Derecho Internacional, sino que ex gratia, se siente moralmente obligado a dar completa indemnización y conviene, por consiguiente, en que bastará que se compruebe que el daño ó pérdida que se alega en cualquier caso fué sufrido y que fué ocasionado por alguna de las causas enumeradas en el Artículo III de esta Convención.

Subsequent meetings.

La Comisión puede fijar el tiempo y lugar de sus juntas subsecuentes, según convenga, sujeta siempre a las instrucciones especiales de los dos Gobiernos.

Artículo III.

Claims to be submitted.

Las reclamaciones que la Comisión examinará y decidirá son 1725 las surgidas durante las revoluciones y disturbios que existieron en México durante el periódo comprendido del 20 de noviembre de 1910 al 31 de mayo de 1920, inclusive, y que provinieron de cualquier acto de las siguientes fuerzas: (1) Por fuerzas de un Gobierno

(4) Por fuerzas federales que fueron disueltas y (5) Por motines o tumultos o fuerzas insurrectas distintas de las mencionadas en las subdivisiones (2), (3) y (4) de este artículo, o por bandoleros, siempre que en cualquier caso se compruebe que las autoridades competentes omitieron tomar las medidas apropiadas para reprimir a los insurrectos, tumultos o bandoleros, o que los trataron con lenidad o fueron negligentes en otros respectos.

“On February 24 last the President proposed to the Senate that it consent under certain stated conditions to the adhesion by the United States to the Protocol of December 16, 1920, under which the Permanent Court of International Justice has been created at the Hague. As the Senate does not convene in its regular session until December next, action upon this proposal will necessarily be delayed. In the event that the Senate gives its assent to the proposal, I understand that the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan will not be averse to considering a modification of the Convention of Arbitration which we are renewing, or the making of a separate agreement, providing for the reference of disputes mentioned in the Convention to the Permanent Court of International Justice.”

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Honorable Charles E. Hughes,

Secretary of State.

Treaty with France relating to rights in Cameroons mandate.

Preamble.

WHEREAS a Treaty between the United States of America and France, in regard to the rights of the two Governments and their respective nationals in that part of the former German Colony of the Cameroons over which a mandate was conferred upon France, was concluded and signed by their respective Plenipotentiaries at Paris on the thirteenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, the original of which Treaty, being in the French and English languages, is word for word as follows: Convention between the United States of America and France Relating to the Part of the Cameroons under French Mandate THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

Rights renounced by Germany.

Whereas by Article 119 of the Treaty of Peace signed at Versailles the 28th of June, 1919, Germany renounced in favor of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers all her rights and titles over her oversea possessions; and

Authority for mandate.

Whereas by Article 22 of the same instrument it was provided that certain territories which, as a result of the war, had ceased to be under the sovereignty of the States which formerly governed them, should be placed under the mandate of another Power, and that the terms of the mandate should be explicitly defined in each case by the Council of the League of Nations; and

Whereas the terms of the said

Terms of mandate.

mandate have been defined by the Council of the League of Nations as follows:

Article 1.—

The territory for

Post, p. 1784.

which a mandate is conferred upon France comprises that part of the Cameroons which lies to the east of the line laid down in the Declaration signed on July 10th, 1919, of which copy is annexed hereto.

This line may, however, be slightly modified by mutual agreement between His Britannic Majesty’s Government and the Government of the French Republic where an examination of the localities shows that it is undesirable, either in the interest of the inhabitants or by reason of any inaccuracies in the map Moisei 1/300,000, annexed to the Declaration, to adhere strictly to the line laid down therein.

The delimitation on the spot of this line shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the said Declaration.

The final report of the Mixed Commission shall give the exact description of the boundary line as traced on the spot; maps signed by the Commissioners shall be annexed to the report. This report with its annexes shall be drawn up in triplicate; one of these shall be deposited in the archives of the League of Nations, one shall be kept by the Government of the Republic and one by His Britannic Majesty’s Government.

Article 2.— The Mandatory shall be responsible for the peace, order and good government of the territory and for the promotion to the utmost of the material and moral well-being and the social progress of its inhabitants.

Article 3.—

The Mandatory shall not establish in the territory any military or naval bases, nor erect any fortifications, nor organize any native military force except for local police purposes and for the defence of the territory.

It is understood, however, that the troops thus raised may, in the event of general war, be utilized to repel an1780

Mandate—Contd.

attack or for defence of the territory outside that subject to the mandate.

Article 4.— The Mandatory: 1° Shall provide for the eventual emancipation of all slaves, and for as speedy an elimination of domestic and other slavery as social conditions will allow; 2° Shall suppress all forms of slave trade; 3° Shall prohibit all forms of forced or compulsory labor, except for essential public works and services, and then only in return for adequate remuneration; 4° Shall protect the natives from measures of fraud and force by the careful supervision of labor contracts and the recruiting of labor; 5° Shall exercise a strict control over the traffic in arms and ammunition and the sale of spirituous liquors.

Article 5.—

In the framing of laws relating to the holding or transference of land, the Mandatory shall take into consideration native laws and customs, and shall respect the rights and safe-guard the interests of the native population.

No native land may be transferred, except between natives, without the previous consent of the public authorities, and no real rights over native land in favor of non-natives may be created except with the same consent.

The Mandatory shall promulgate strict regulations against usury.

Article 6.—

The Mandatory shall secure to all nationals of States Members of the League of Nations the same rights as are enjoyed in the territory by his own nationals in respect of entry into and residence in the territory, the protection afforded to their person and property, movable and immovable, and the exercise of their profession or trade, subject only to the requirements of public order, and on condition of compliance with the local law.

Further, the Mandatory shall ensure to all nationals of States Members of the League of Nations, on the same footing as bis own nationals, freedom of transit and navigation, and complete economic, commercial and industrial equality; provided that the Mandatory shall be free to organize essential public works and services on such terms and conditions as he thinks just.

Concessions for the development of the natural resources of the territory shall be granted by the Mandatory without distinction on grounds of nationality between the nationals of all States Members of the League of Na1781 tions, but on such conditions as will

Mandate—Contd.

maintain intact the authority of the local Government.

Concessions having the character of a general monopoly shall not be granted. This provision does not affect the right of the Mandatory to create monopolies of a purely fiscal character in the interest of the territory under mandate and in order to provide the territory with fiscal resources which seem best suited to the local requirements; or, in certain cases, to carry out the development of natural resources, either directly by the State or by a controlled agency, provided that there shall result therefrom no monopoly of the natural resources for the benefit of the Mandatory or his nationals, directly or in-directly, nor any preferential advantage which shall be inconsistent with the economic, commercial and industrial equality hereinbefore guaranteed.

The rights conferred by tills article extend equally to companies and associations organized in accordance with the law of any of the Members of the League of Nations, subject only to the requirements of public order, and on condition of compliance with the local law.

Article 7.— The Mandatory shall ensure in the territory complete freedom of conscience and the free exercise of all forms of worship which arc consonant with public order and morality; missionaries who arc nationals of States Members of the League of Nations shall be free to enter the territory and to travel and reside therein, to acquire and possess property, to erect religious buildings and to open schools throughout the territory; it being understood, however, that the Mandatory shall have the right to exercise such control as may be necessary for the maintenance of public order and good government, and to take all measures required for such control.

Article 8.— The Mandatory shall apply to the territory any general international conventions applicable to his contiguous territory.

ministrative union or federation with the adjacent territories under his sovereignty or control; provided always that the measures adopted to that end do not infringe the provisions of this nan date.

Article 12.— The Mandatory agrees that, if any dispute whatever should arise between the Mandatory and another Member of the League of Nations relating to the interpretation or the application of the provisions of the man-date, such dispute, if it cannot be settled by negotiation, shall be submitted to the Permanent Court of International Justice provided for by Article 14 of the Covenant of the League of Nations.

la France assume l’administration sous le régime du mandat comprennent la partie du Cameroun qui est située à 1 est de la ligne fixée dans la Déclaration, signée le 10 juillet 1919, dont une copie est ciannexée.

Cette ligne pourra, toutefois, être légèrement modifiée par accord intervenant entre le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté britannique et le Gouvernement de la République française, sur les points où, soit dans l’intérêt des habitants, soit par suite de l’inexactitude de la carte Moisel au 1/300.000 annexée à la Déclaration, l’examen des lieux ferait reconnaître comme indésirable de s’en tenir exactement à la ligne indiquée.

La délimitation sur le terrain de ces frontières sera effectuée conformément aux dispositions de ladite Déclaration.

Le rapport final de la Commission mixte donnera la description exacte de la frontière telle que celleci aura été déterminée sur le terrain; les cartes signées par les commissaires seront jointes au rapport. Ce document, avec ses annexes, sera établi en triple exemplaire; l’un des originaux sera déposé dans les archives de la Société des Nations, le deuxième sera conservé par le Gouvernement de la République et le troisième par le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté britannique.

Article 2.— Le Mandataire sera responsable de la paix, du bon ordre et de la bonne administration du territoire, accroîtra par tous les moyens en son pouvoir Je bienêtre matériel et moral et favorisera le progrès social des habitants.

Article 3. —

Le Mandataire ne devra établir sur le territoire aucune base militaire ou navale, ni édifier aucune fortification, ni organiser aucune force militaire indigène sauf pour assurer la police locale et la défense du territoire.

Article 1.

The frontier will start from the meeting-point of the three old British, French and German frontiers situated in Lake Chad in latitude 13° 05′ N, and in approximately longitude 14° 05′ E. of Greenwich.

Thence the frontier will be determined as follows:

1. A straight line to the mouth of the Ebeji; 2.

Thence the course of the latter, which upstream is named the Amjumba, the village of Woma and its outskirts remaining to France; 5. From the point where the river Amjumba loses itself in a swamp, the boundary will follow the median line of this swamp so as to rejoin the watercourse which appears to be the continuation of the Amjumba and which upstream is named Serahadja, Goluwa and Mudukwa respectively, the village of Uagisa remaining to Great Britain; 6. Thence this watercourse to its confluence with the river Gatagule; 1786 7.

Thence the course of the Mao Hesso to boundary pillar No. 6 on the old British-German frontier; 14. Thence a straight line to the old boundary pillar No. 7; and thence a straight line to the old boundary pillar No. 8; 15. Thence a line south-westwards reaching the watershed between the Benue on the north-west and the Faro on the south-east, which it fol-lows to a point on the Hos-sere Banglang, about 1 kilom. south of the source of the Mao Kordo; 16. Thence a line to the confluence of the Mao Ngonga and the Mao Deo, to be fixed on the ground so as to leave to France the village of Laro as well as the road from Bare to Fort Lamy; 17. Thence the course of the Mao Deo to its confluence with the Tiba; 18. Thence the course of the Tiba, which is named upstream, Tibsat and Tessa respectively, to its confluence with a watercourse flowing from the west and situated about 12 kilom. south-west of Kontscha; 19. Thence a line running generally south-west to reach the summit of the DutsehiDjombi; 1787 20. Thence the watershed between

Thence the river Nun to its confluence with the river Tantam; 28. Thence the river Tantam and its affluent, which is fed by the river Sefu; 29. Thence the river Sefu to its source; 30. Thence a line south-west-wards, crossing the Kupti, to reach near its source east of Point 1300 the unnamed watercourse which flows into the Northern Mifi below BaliBagam; 31. Thence this watercourse to its confluence with the Northern Mifi, leaving to France the village of Gascho belonging to the small country of Bamenjam; 32.

Thence a line running 35° west of true south to the Atlantic Ocean.

Article 2. 1.°

It is understood that at the time of the local delimitation of the frontier, where the natural features to be followed arc not indicated in the above description, the Commissioners of the two Governments will, as far as possible, but without changing the attribution of the villages named in article I, lay down the frontier in accordance with natural features (rivers, hills, or watersheds).

The Boundary Commissioners shall be authorized to make such minor modifications of the frontier line as1789 may appear to them necessary in order

Frontier—Contd.

to avoid separating villages from their agricultural lands. Such deviations shall be clearly marked on special maps and submitted for the approval of the two Governments. Pending such approval, the deviations shall be provisionally recognized and respected.

2° As regards the roads mentioned in article 1, only those which are shown upon the annexed map (¹)(¹) Annexed only to the original declaration. shall be taken into consideration in the delimitation of the frontier. 3° Where the frontier follows a waterway, the median line of the water-way shall be the boundary. 4° It is understood that if the inhabitants living near the frontier should, within a period of six months from the completion of the local delimitation, express the intention to settle in the regions placed under French authority, or, inversely, in the regions placed under British authority, no obstacle will be placed in the way of their so doing, and they shall be granted the necessary time to gather in standing crops, and generally to remove all the property of which they are the legitimate owners.

Article 2. 1.

Il est entendu qu’au moment de la détermination sur le terrain de la frontière, lorsque l’indication des lignes naturelles à suivre ne sera pas mentionnée dans la présente description, les commissaires des deux Gouvernements devront s’attacher, autant que possible, à déterminer le tracé par des accidents naturels de terrain (cours d’eau, lignes de faîte ou crêtes). Ils ne sauraient changer, toutefois, l’attribution des villages méntioinnés à l’article 1.

Les commissaires chargés de l’abornement seront, d’autre part, autorisés à apporter au tracé de la frontière les1789 modifications légères qui apparaîtraient

Frontier—Contd.

nécessaires en vue d’éviter de séparer les villages de leurs terrains de culture; ces déviations devront être indiquées clairement sur des cartes spéciales et soumises à l’approbation des deux Gouvernements intéressés. Toutefois, en attendant qu’elles soient approuvées, elles seront provisoirement valables et par suite respectées.

laid down in the Declaration signed on July 10, 1919, of which a copy is annexed hereto.

The delimitation on the spot of this line shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the said Declaration.

The final report of the Mixed Commission shall give the exact description of the boundary line as traced on the spot; maps signed by the Commissioners shall be annexed to the report. This report with its annexes shall be drawn up in triplicate: one of these shall be deposited in the archives of the League of Nations, one shall be kept by the Government of the Republic and one by His Britannic Majesty’s Government.

Insurance.

Insurance. 1.

Amount limited.

Parcels may be insured up to the sum of £20 or 100 dollars, but no parcel may be insured for an amount above the real value of its contents.

Application.

Until mutually agreed to the contrary, insurance shall apply only to parcels exchanged between the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Porto Rico (excluding the other Island possessions of the United States) and Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Fees.

The administration of origin is entitled to collect from the sender of each insured parcel such insurance fees as may from time to time be prescribed by its regulations.

Required of articles, etc.

Every parcel containing coin, bullion, jewellery, or any other precious article must be insured. If a parcel containing coin, bullion, jewellery or any other precious article is posted uninsured the Administration which delivers it shall treat it in accordance with its own regulations. Every parcel containing jewellery or any other precious article exceeding ₺100 ($500) in value must be packed in a box measuring not less than 2 feet 6 inches in length and girth combined.

Sacks required.

Insured parcels shall be enclosed in separate sacks from those in which ordinary parcel-post packages are contained and the labels 1857of such sacks shall be marked with such distinctive symbol as may from time to time be agreed upon.

Seals.

with wax or otherwise, but the country of destination shall have the right to open them (including the right to break the seals) in order to inspect the contents. Parcels that have been so opened shall be closed again with official seals.

Insured parcels shall not be addressed to initials.

Addressing, etc.

Each insured parcel must be labelled “ Insured ” in a conspicuous manner and must bear a distinguishing number. The Customs Declaration, if not gummed to the parcel, must also be labelled “ Insured ”.

No insured parcel need have written on it information as to the value of its contents, although this may be stated in the accompanying customs declaration.

The labels or stamps on insured parcels containing coin, articles of gold or silver, jewellery or other precious articles must be so placed that they cannot serve to conceal injuries to the cover. They must not be folded over two sides of the cover so as to hide the edge.

The sender of an insured parcel may obtain an advice of

Advice of delivery.

delivery upon payment of such additional charge, if any, as the country of origin of the parcel shall stipulate. A fee may be charged, at the option of the country of origin, on a request for information as to the disposal of an insured parcel made after it has been posted, if the sender has not already paid the special fee to obtain an advice of delivery. These fees will be retained by the country of origin.

When an advice of delivery is desired, the sender or office of origin

Form.

shall write or stamp on the parcel, in a conspicuous manner, the words, “ Return receipt requested ”, “Advice of delivery requested ”, or, boldly, the letters “A R ”.

The form of advice of delivery is made out by the office of origin or by any other office which the country of origin may appoint. If it does not reach the office of destination, that office supplies an advice of delivery if the parcel bears request therefor.

Advices of delivery, after being completed, shall, unless otherwise requested by the country of origin be returned direct to the sender by ordinary mail without charge for postage.

When, after an insured parcel has been posted, the sender applies

Application after posting.

for an advice of delivery, the office of origin enters on a form of advice of delivery an exact description of the parcel (office of origin, date of posting, number, and name and address of sender and of addressee). This form is transmitted from administration to administration with an indication of the mail in which the parcel under inquiry was delivered to the corresponding office of exchange. The office of destination completes the form, and returns it to the sender unless otherwise requested by the country of origin.

If an advice of delivery duly applied for by the sender at the

Action if advice not received.

time of posting is not received back at the office of origin at the end of a proper interval, an inquiry for the missing advice shall be instituted in accordance with the procedure prescribed by the preceding paragraph. The Office of origin shall enter at the top of the form of Advice of delivery the note “Duplicate Advice of Delivery” or some equivalent expression.

4. The insured parcels shall be entered by the dispatching office

Separate parcel bills.

of exchange on separate parcel bills which shall show in respect of each parcel, the insurance number and the office (and state or 1858country) or origin. Additional indicia may be required from time to time if found necessary. 5.

Notice of damage, etc.

Parcels bearing evidence of violation or damage must have the facts noted on them and be marked with the stamp of the office making the note, or a document drawing attention to the violation or damage must be forwarded with the parcels. 6.

Nondelivery of insured parcels.

If an insured parcel cannot be delivered as addressed or is refused by the addressee, the parcel shall be treated in accordance with Article XV. Such a parcel if returned, shall be returned as insured. 7.

Redirected parcels.

When an insured parcel is redirected to either country or is returned to the country of origin, a new insurance fee shall be collected upon delivery and retained by the country making the collection. The Post Office making delivery shall fix the amount of such fee in accordance with its regulations. 8.

Indemnity provisions.

Except in cases of loss or damage through force majeure (causes beyond control) as that term is defined by the legal decisions of the country in the service of which the loss or damage occurs, when an insured parcel has been lost or damaged or all or part of its contents abstracted, the sender, or in default of or at the request of the sender, the addressee, shall be entitled to an indemnity corresponding to the actual amount, based on the actual value at the time of mailing, of the loss, abstraction, or damage, unless the damage has arisen from the fault or negligence of the sender or the addressee, or the representative of either, or from the nature of the article, provided always that the indemnity does not exceed the sum for which the parcel was insured and for which the required insurance fee was paid.

Postage on lost parcels to be returned.

The sender of an insured parcel which has been lost, or of which the contents have been lost or completely destroyed in the post, shall also be entitled to the return of the postage. He is not, however, entitled to the return of the insurance fee.

No compensation if alleged contents above real value.

In case the sender of an insured parcel, with intent to defraud, shall at any time allege the contents to be above their real value, he shall lose all claim to compensation or to the return of the postage, and the enforcement of this rule shall not prejudice any legal proceedings to which such fraudulent declaration may have rendered him liable.

Office responsible for Indemnity.

The obligation of paying the indemnity shall rest with the country to which the mailing office is subordinate. That country can make a claim on the country responsible, that is to say, against the administration on the territory or in the service of which the loss, abstraction, or damage took place.

Until the contrary is proved, responsibility for an insured parcel rests with the country which having received the parcel without making any observation cannot establish correct delivery or other proper disposition.

Responsibility for loss damage or for abstraction discovered by the receiving Office of Exchange at the time of opening the receptacles and duly notified to the despatching Office of Exchange by verification note shall fall upon the Administration to which the despatching Office of Exchange is subordinate unless it be proved that the loss damage or abstraction occurred during transit in the service of the receiving Administration.

If the loss, abstraction, or damage occurred in the course of conveyance, and it shall not be possible to ascertain on the territory or in the service of which country the loss, abstraction, or damage took place, the indemnity shall be shared equally.

No responsibility if receipted for without reservation.

No responsibility will be admitted for insured parcels for which the sender or addressee or authorized representative of either has given a receipt and accepted delivery without reservation, nor for 1859articles which cannot be accounted for in consequence of the destruction of official documents through causes beyond control.

No indemnity will be paid for insured parcels which contain matter

No indemnity if parcel of no intrinsic value, or prohibited matter.

of no intrinsic value or matter prohibited transmission in the parcel-post mails exchanged between the United States and Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or which did not conform to the stipulations of this Agreement or which were not posted in the manner prescribed; but the county responsible for the loss, damage or abstraction may pay indemnity in respect of such parcels without recourse to the other Administration.

No application for indemnity will be entertained unless a claim

The payment of indemnity by the country of origin must take

The country of origin is, however, authorised to settle with the sender on behalf of the country of destination which has after being duly informed of the application for indemnity let nine months pass without settling the matter. The dispatching country may exceptionally postpone settlement of the indemnity beyond the period mentioned, when, on expiration of the period, it has not been definitely informed as to the disposal of the article inquired for or when the question whether the loss of the article is due to a cause beyond control is not yet decided.
