¹⁹ On the intended meaning of the part of the Charter relative to this subject matter (as provisions were formulated prior to the Geneva discussions) see the testimony of Leroy Stinebower in Hearings, Vol. I, p. 566. By Art. 92 of the Charter, nothing in Chapter VIII thereof is to exclude procedures provided for in the Charter for consultation and settlement of differences arising out of its operation.

There is in the same version a provision which envisages suspension (after full consultation) of application of Charter provisions for any member if a substantial part of the letter’s foreign trade is with a non-mêmber; withdrawal of the member, in case there is no satisfactory adjustment, may follow.
