Mandate: New International Relation

mandate is an order from n league of

nation or piece of territory consid-
cred to be less civilized. The ideal
of the mandate Is that the civilized

backward ones, each rs it can, should
care for them and he responsible to
the whole world for the results.
In practice n mandate is permis.

the late war to one of those powers
to supervise the affairs of some back
ward country. The mandatory M
tion enjoys certain advantages in that
territory, but 1t also has certain re-
spOnslbilities to the League of Ma
tlons, which, II enforced, would raise
the development Of backward coun-
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.
