ARTICLE TWENTY-FIVE.
To those colonies and territories
which, as a consequence of the late
war, have ceased to be under the SOW
ereignty of the states which formerly
governed them and which are inhab-
tied by peoples not vet able to stand
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 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
