Article VIII.

The high contracting parties recog-
nize the principle that the mainte-
nance Of peace viii require the reduc-
ton of national armament TO the low
est point consistent with national
safety and the enforcement by common
consent of international obligations,
having special regard to the geograph-
ical situation and circumstances OF
each state; and the executive coun-
Gil shall formulate plans for effecting
such reduction.
The executive council shall also de-
termine for the consideration and ac-
ton of the several governments what
military equipment and armament Is
fair and reasonable in proportion 70
the scale of forces laid down in the
program of disarmament; and these
limits, when adopted, shall not be ex-
ceeded without the permission of the
executive council
The nigh contracting parties agree
that lhe manufacture by private enter
prise Of munitions and implements Of
var lends itself to grave objections,
and direct the executive council to
advise how the evil effects attendant
upon such manufacture can be prevent
ed, due regard being had to the ne
cessities of these countries which are
not able to manufacture for them
selves the munitions and implements
Of war necessary for their safety.

Article XIX

To those colonies and territories which
as a consequence 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 principle that
the wellbeing and development of such
peoples form a sacred trust OF civilization
and that securities for the performance
of this trust should be embodied in the
constitution of the league
The best method of giving practical eff
feet to this principle is that the tutelage
of such peoples should be entrusted to
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources, their experience or their
geographical position, can best undertake
this responsibility. and that this tutelage
should be exercised BY etem as manda-
tory on behalf OF the league
Certain comm auities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached a
stage OF development which their exist
ence as Independent nations can be pro-
visionally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and as
sistance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. The
wishes Of these communities must be
principal consideration in the selection of
the mandatory power
There are territories such as southwest
Africa and certain of the south Pacific
isles. which. owing to the sparseness of
their population, or their small size. or
their remoteness from the centers of
civilization. or their geographical contlnu-
ity to the mandatory state, and other cir
cumstances. can be best administered I'M
der the laws of the mandatory state as
integral portions thereof. subject to the
safeguards above mentioned. in the inter
ests OF the indigenous population.
