[49] The opposite principle is that of the ‘watertight compartments,’ to which reference is made later. It has Westlake’s support, whose opinion was thus quoted with approval by Mr. Pawley Bate in a learned article in the July number of the _Quarterly Review_: ‘No attempt to find a sound juridical basis for blockade has succeeded. Nothing higher than “compromise by tacit international agreement” can probably be found.’ [50] See p. 87. [51] I refer in support of this statement to Westlake’s opinion, cited in the footnote on p. 95. [52] See p. 77. [53] See p. 6. [54] See footnote on p. 59. [55] See p. 35.
