ITO those colonies and territories
which as a consequence of the late war
have ceased to be under the sovereign
ty Of the state which formerly governed
them and which are inhabited by peo-
pies not yet able to stand by them
selves under the conditions
of the modern world, there should be
applied the principle that the well be-
ing and development of such peoples
form a sacred trust of civilization and
that securities for the performance Of
this trust should be embodied in this
covenant.
The best method of giving practic-
able effect to this principle is that the
tutelage Of such peoples be entrusted
to advanced nations who. by reasons
OF their resources. their experience or
their geographical position, can best
undertake this responsibility and who
are willing to accept 1t. and that this
,tutelage should be exercised by them
as ma ndatories on behalf Of the league.
The character OF the mandate must
differ according to the stage. of the
development Of the people. the geo
