Mandate: New International Relation

WHAT is a mandate? The man

lawyers to be new principle in in
ternational relations. In theory a
mandate is an order from a league of
the civilized nations Of the world to
one of those nations, making ii re-
sponsible for the welfare Of q certain
nation or piece of territory consid-
cred TO be less civilized. The ideal
of the mandate Is that the civilized
nations, instead Of exploiting the
backward ones, each as II can, should
care for them and be responsible TO
the whole world for the results.
In practice a mandate is permits
sion, given by the powers which won
the late war TO one of those powers.

ward country. The mandatory ma

territory, but II also has certain re-

the development of backward coun-
tries to higher level both from the
economic and the humanitarian point
OF view. OF course, In this matter,
everything really depends upon what
the council of the league wants TO do
and is able to do.
