governed them and which are inhab-

by themselves under the strenuous
conditions Of the modern world, there
should be applied the principle that
the well-being 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 practi-
cable effect to this principle is that
the tutelage of such peoples be in
trusted to advanced nations who, by
reason of their resources, their expe-
rience or their geographical 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.

their existence, as independent ma

subject to the rendering of admins
trative advice and assistance by a
mandatory until such time as they are
able to stand alone. The wishes of
these communities must be a princi-
pal consideration In the selection Of
the mandatory peoples, especially those
of central Africa, who are at such a
stage that the mandatory must be re-
