Notes on Article X.
1. The differences between versions 1 and 2 will be seen to be of a purely
formal nature. Version 1 gives the instrument which is referred to in the treaty
article a more or less independent existence from that of the treaty as a whole,
and it is, indeed, preferable that, if version 1 is finally selected, the word
“ Protocol ” should be replaced by “ Convention ” wherever it occurs. Version 2
is suitable for a genuine protocol forming an integral part of the general treaty.
2. Politically speaking, there is little to choose between the two versions.
His Majesty’s Government were at one time quite prepared to regulate the
slavery question by means of an altogether separate convention, and the quasi
independent character of version 1 does not, therefore, present any difficulty.
Sir R. Hoare was left full discretion which to put forward first. He has not yet
had the opportunity of proposing either, but the present two versions do not differ
in any essential point from a version (based on an earlier British draft) which
was suggested by Teymourtache himself in February 1932, and there should
therefore be no difficulty in securing agreement.
3. The words “la pratique de,’’ which are in square brackets in the
preamble to both versions of the Protocol, are redundant, but not otherwise objec
tionable. Teymourtache suggested “ pratique ” instead of “ recrudescence ” for
some reason of prestige which has not been clearly explained.
