       4.  Whether, if the United States and Mexico, 
     having failed to settle the dispute by means 
     of their own choice, refer it--as they are 
     obligated to do--to the Council, the latter 
     should make a recommendation to them as to 
     methods and procedures of settlement;
 
       5.  Whether the circumstances require that such 
     a recommendation be made by the Council be-
     fore the dispute is referred to it by the parties;
 
       6.  What should be the nature of the recommenda-
     tion;
 
       7.  Whether the legal aspects of the matter before 
     it should be referred by the Council for advice 
     to the international court of justice;
 
       8.  Whether the dispute does in fact arise out of
            a matter which, by international law, is solely
            within the domestic Jurisdiction of the United
            States when the United States claims that this
            is the case;
 
       9.  Whether, if there exists a regional inter-
     American agency for peaceful settlement of 
     local disputes, the Council should ask such 
     an agency to concern itself with the dispute 
     in question;
 
       lO. Whether the matter should be referred by the 
      Council to the General Assembly for considera-
      tion and recommendation. 
 
        Once the situation gets beyond the field of con-
ciliation and of efforts at peaceful settlement, and the 
Security Couucil is confronted with the question as to 
whether or not the dispute between the United States and 
Mexico constitutes a threat to the peace, the United 
States would resume the right to cast its vote in the 
Counci1's decisions. The right of the United States to 
cast its vote under the unanimity rule in all other 
substantive decisions of the Council would, of course, 
remain unimpaired throughout.
