In your deapntoh no. 78 of the 18th T’ebrunry you reported
the eubetcnoo of yom- eonvoreetlon with the rinlster of court
on t)K? ^uootion of th«t crtlcle in the proposed / nglo-rersicn
nanarol treaty vhioh le to do©! with the abrogation of treaties»
convention!) tnd agrocmcnte concluded before 1928j and you
rec’ueoted mo to furnish you with convincing orgunents in euppoi*t
of the view that it is essential to enwnerato ell such
inatruravntu.
y. The nttituae of Mo Majesty's Government in tho United
Kingdom in regfird to this question is mainly governed by the
following consideration. if there is a Treaty article stating
thrt Treaties / f B end o, and conventions u and v, 9 and
/greeraents P» 0 and it ore ebi ogated, the effect of this article ' "
la perfectly clear and must correspond exactly to the intention
of both par tics to tho Treaty. !f, on the other hand, there
is a Treaty article stating that all Treaties, Conventions end
/greemente coneluded between the two parties before a certain
date ore abrogated, it is difficult to be sure that the result
will, in fact, correspond to the intentions of each of the
parties. The latter procedure, in the view of His Majesty's
Oovermienty is unusual; it is ambiguous, and it is also
dangerous* It may result in the disappearance directly, or by
Iriiplicetion, of some agreement of real value. It may give
the rereien Government in the future an opportunity, or at
least an excuse, for re-opening some difficult question which
could otherwise safely be regarded as having been finally
settled.
