To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Article 1 of this convention prohibits "the bombardment by naval forces of undefended ports, Digitized by VjOOQIC 130 THE HAGUE CX)NFEBENCE OF 1907 towns, yiilageSy dwellings, or buildings/' and provides that such places are not to be con- sidered as defended '' solely on the ground that automatic submarine contact mines are anchored off the harbour." But Article 8 declares that after notice given such a bombardment '^may be commenced if the local authorities, on a formal summons being made to ...them, decline to comply with requisitions for provisions or supplies necessary for the immediate use of the naval force before the place in question." Article 4, however, prohibits any such bombardment on account of '^&ilure to pay money contributions." So that a town or a dwelling may refuse cash, but may not refuse provisions or supplies on pain of bombardment. Moreover, ''unless military exigencies render it impossible, the o£Bicer in command of an attacking naval force^must, before commencing the bombardment, do all in his power to warn the authorities." This convention, it will be observed, prohibits that bombardment of the defenceless which no predominant naval power would undertake, but which might well be undertaken by the weaker naval power.
