How this can be done in a practical way I have not attempted to work out, but the problem is not easy, especially the part which relates to the enforcement of the order.
"It is, however, the second agreement in regard to the imposition of international arbitration by force, which seems to me the most difficult, especially when viewed from the standpoint of its effects on our national sovereignty and national interests.

It is needless to go into the manifest questions arising when the _modus operandi_ of the agreement is considered.

Such questions as: Who may demand international intervention?
What body will decide whether the demand should be complied with?
How will the international forces be constituted?
Who will take charge of the military and naval operations?
Who will pay the expenses of the war (for war it will be)?

I do not believe that it is wise to limit our independence of action, a sovereign right, to the will of other powers beyond this hemisphere.

In any representative international body clothed with authority to require of the nations to employ their armies and navies to coerce one of their number, we would be in the minority.
