REDUCTION OF ARMS.

Article VIII.-The members OF
tie league recognize that the main
tenance OF a peace requires the re-
duction of national ornaments to
tie lowest point consistent with ma
ticnaI safety and the enforcement
by common action of international
obligations.
The council. taking account of
the geographical situation and cir
cumstanTes of each estate, shall
fCrmulats plans for such reduction
for the consideration and acton OF
the several governments.
Such plans shall be subject to re-
consideration and revision at least
every 10 years.
After these plans shall have been
adopted by the several governments
limits of ornaments therein fixed
shall not be exceeded without the
concurrence of the council.
The members of the league agree
that the manufacture by private
enterprise of munitions and imple-
ments of war is open to grave OBJ
jcctiOns. The council shall advise
how the evil effects attendant upon
such manufacture can be prevent
ed, due regard being had to the
necessities OF those members of the
league which are not able to manu-
facture the munitions and imple-
ments Of war necessary for their
safety.
The members of the league I'M
dertake to interchange full and
frank inflammation as to the scale
Of their ornaments. their military
and naval programs. and the con-
dition of such of their industries as
are adaptable to warlike purposes.
This covers the ground Of
the original article VIII. but is
rewrit ten to make 1t clearer
that armament reduction plans
must be adopted by the nations
affected before they become ef-
fective1.

MANDATORIES.

Article XXII-To those colonies
and territories which, as a conse-
quence of the late war, have ceased
to be under the sovereignty of the
states which formerly governed
them and which are inhabited by
peoples not yet able to stand BY
themselves under the strenuous
conditions of the modern world.
there should be applied the prin-
'cipfe that the well being and de-
velopment of such peoples form a
sacred trust of civilization and that
this trust should be embodied in
this covenant.
The best method of giving prac-
ticable effect to this principle is
that the tutelage of such peoples
be intrusted to advanced nations
who, by reason of their resources,
their experience or their geograph-
zeal position, can best undertake
this responsibility and who are
willing to accept it, and that this
tutelage should be exercised by
them as manufactures on behalf Of
the league.
The character of the mandate
must differ according to the stage
of the development of the people,
the geographical situation of the
territory, its economic condition,
and other similar circum stances.
Certain communities formerly be-
longing to the Turkish empire have
reached a stage of development
where their existence, as independ-
ent nations, can be Professionally
recognized subject to the rendering

AGREE TO ARBITRATE.

Article XIII.-The members or
the league agree that, whenever any
dispute shall arise between them
which they recognize to be suitable
for submission to arbitration and
which cannot be satisfactorily set
lied by diplomacy, they will submit
the whole subject matter to arbitra-
ton. Disputes as to the interpretaf
ton of treaty, as to any question
of international law, as to the ex-
istence of any fact which, if estab-
lished, would constitute a breach of
any international obligation, or as
to tie extent and nature of the rep
aration to be made for any such
breach, are declared to be among
those which are generally suitable
for submission to arbitration. For
the consideration o>any such dis
pute the court of arbitration. to
which the case is referred shall be
the court agreed on by the parties
to the dispute or stipulated in any
convention existing between them.
The members of the league agree
that they will carry out in full good
faith any award that may be render
ed, and that they will not resort to
war against a member of the league
which complies Herewith. In the
event Of any failure to carry out
such an award the council shall
propose what steps should be taken
to give effect therefor

guage.)
