AKT1CL.B ? - To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have 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 well-being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilization and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this covenant. The best method of giving practical effect to this principle Is that the tutelage of such people should be Intrusted to advanced nations who by reason of their resources, their expertenoe or their geographical position cam best undertake this responsibility, and who are willing to accept It, and that thhj tutelage should be exercised by theln as mandataries on behalf of the Jsagua The character of the mandalw.must differ according to the stage of development of the people, the geographical situation of the territory. Its economic ffibftditlons and other similar droumstances. ' Certain communities formerly belonging to ths Turkish empire hays reached a stage of development where their existence as Independent pattens can he provisionally reoognlsed subject .to the rendering of administrative ad.yloa and assistance by a mandatary until such time as thsy are able to stand alone. The Srlahea of these oemmuaitles must ho a prihelpa) oonslderatton la the eeleotloa of the mandatary. Other peoples, especially those of central Africa, are at Suoh a stags that the mandatary must he responsible for the administration of the territory under conditions which will guarantee freedom of oonoelonco and religion, subject only to the maintenance of publlo order and morals tWprohibition of abuses suoh as the slave trade, the arms traffic and the liquor traffic, and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or mllltanr and naval bases and of military training of ths natives for other than police purposes and the defense of territory, and wit also secure equal Opportunities for the trade and commerce of other members of the league. There are territories, such as Southwest Africa and certain of the South Paclflo Islands, which, owing to the sparseness of their population or their small slse, or their remoteness from ths centers of civilisation, or their geographical oontlgulty to the territory of the mandatory, and other clrcum stances, can be best administered under the laws of the mandatary as integral portions of Its territory, subjeot to the safeguards above mentioned in the Interests of the Indigenous population. In every case of mandate the mandatary shall render to the council an annual report in reference to the territory committed to Its charge. The degree of authority, control, or administration to be ezerolsed by the mandatary shall. If not previously agreed upon by the members of the league, be explicitly defined In each case by the council. A permanent commission shall ba constituted to receive and examine the annual reports of the landatarles and to advise the council all matters relating to the observance of the mandates. ARTIOLI fifi. Subject to and in ao ordanor with the provisions of international conventions existing or hereafter to be agreed upon, the members f ths league: (a) will endeavor to secure and maintain fair and humane conditions of labor for men, women, and children, both In their own countries and In all countries to which tl\eir . commercial and Industrial i relatione extend, and for that y: purpose will establish and maintain the necessary international organisations; ' <b) undertake,to secure Just treatment o'f the native inhaBHants of territories under control; <c) will Intrust the league with the general supervision over the execution of agreements with regard to the traffic in women and children and the traffic In opium and other dangerous drugs; (d) will intrust the league with the general supervision of the trade in arms and ammunition with the countries in which the control of this I traffic is necessary In the common Interest; ,(e) will make provision to secure ana maintain freedom ot communications and ot tran! :>i. sit and equitable treatment j /tj for the commerce of all 1* . ? members of the league.
