Embargo Discrimination If the League of Nations Council does definitely

decide to recommend the continued enforcement of the arms embargo against Paraguay, but the lifting of the embargo against Bolivia, it will be taking an important and significant step. That is an entirely proper way to use an embargo when once an impartial authority—in this case the League Council—has satisfied itself that of two belligerents one is in the right and the other in the wrong, either on the substantive issue or on the question of willingness to accept arbitration. The possibility that Paraguay may leave the League in consequence can and should be ignored.
