enterprise of munitions and implements of war lends itself to grave
objections, and direct the Executive Council to advise how the evil
effects attendant upon such manufacture can be prevented, due regard
being had to the necessities of those countries which are not able to
manufacture for themselves the munitions and implements of war necessary
for their safety.
The high contracting parties undertake in no way to conceal from each
other the condition of such of their industries as are capable of being
adapted to warlike purposes or the scale of their armaments, and agree
that there shall be full and frank interchange of information as to
their military and naval programs.
ART. IX.--A permanent commission shall be constituted to advise
the League on the execution of the provisions of Article VIII. and on
military and naval questions generally.
[Sidenote: Territorial integrity.]
ART. X.--The high contracting parties shall undertake to
respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial
integrity and existing political independence of all States members of
the League. In case of any such aggression or in case of any threat or
danger of such aggression the Executive Council shall advise upon the
means by which the obligation shall be fulfilled.
[Sidenote: All wars the concern of the League.]
