Article XIX

To those colonies and territories which
as a consequence of the late war nave
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 chsm as manda-
tory on behalf of the league.
Certain communities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached Il
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 able to stand alone. The
wishes of these communities must be a
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 continu-
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.
