1. At the plenary session of Oct. 16 the Ecuadorean delegation voted affirmatively while maintaining the following reservations made in the First Commission on July 2:

   "1. Arbitration can only be demanded in case there is a presumption of denial of justice and after having exhausted all the legal remedies of the country.

   "2. Armed intervention cannot take place after the arbitral award has been made unless the bad faith of the debtor is clearly proved" [translation].

2. The Greek reservation reads, in translation, as follows:

   "In the eighth meeting of the First Commission the Greek delegation, being without definite instructions, was obliged to reserve its vote on the subject of the proposition of the United States of America on the treatment of contract debts. We are to-day in a position to declare that the Royal Government accepts the said proposition, which has for its aim the doing away, by peaceful means, of differences between nations and the exclusion, conformably to the principles of international law, of the employment of armed force outside of armed conflicts. We consider, at the same time, that the provisions contained in paragraphs 2 and 3 of the text voted can not affect existing stipulations nor laws in force in the realm."
