Article 22 of the Covenant is the famous compromise of the ter -itorial greed of the Allies am 1 Japan. The task of tho article was to dispose fairly of the German and Tin .ish col onies. It instituted the so called mandatory system and was devised hy President WILSON. It abolishes the custom on the part of grtat nat. ions of grabbing land and subjugat ing peoples by the force of might, j and establishes instead a gen, ral pro ’ tection of the weak and uncivilized peoples of the earth under the aus ; pices of the League. Civiliz-d nat ions like Armenia and Albania are [ left free to choose the nation which they desire to receive a mandate for their government, and tha{ nation is subject to a review of its actions hy the la-ague. Also it may i eject or accept a mandate, according to the will of its Government and people. For instance, Armenia and tile Fa-a-gue desire the United States to ao eept a mandate for Armenia, hut it rests wholly with the United States whether it will agree to do s >. Uncivilized peoples life the African and Pacific Islands tribes had man dates placed upon th'-m by the League an,| the nations accepting the e must render strict account of (their govern-

The best method of giving practical I effect to this principle is that the tutelege of such peoples be intrusted I to advanced nations who, by reason of I their resources, their experience or their geographical position, can ben-d undertake this responsibility, and who are willing to accept it and that this tutelege should be exercised by Continued on page 3.
