 ARTICLE TWENTY-TWO.
 To those colonies and territories which, as a consequence of the late war, have ceased to be under the sOv- ereignty of the states which formerly them and which are inhab- tied 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 well-being and development ot such peoples form a sacred trust or 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 mandatories on behalf of the league.
