OV tr ec of peace. TI consequence of the late war have ich formerly governed them and stand by themselves under the ·(93) strenuons condition, oi the modern world, there should be applied the principle that the well-being and deselopment of such peoples forma a sacred trust of cirilisation and that scurities for the performance of this trust should ki omladied in this Covenant, The best methxl of giving practical cfiect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples should le entrusted to advanced nations sehin by'reaan of their resources, their experience or their geographical position can beast undertake this responsibility, and who are willing to accept it, and that this luiclage should le cxercised by them as Mandatories on behalf of the League. The character of the inandate must difier according to the stage of the desclop. ment of the puople, the geographical situation of the territory, its conruinic conditions and other similar circumstances. Certain communities formerly belonging to the Turkish Empire have reached a stage of development where their existence as independent nations can le pm. visionally recognised subject to the rendering of administratire ndrix and as:14:ance by a Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone The schrs of these communitie4 must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory. Other peoples, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage that the Mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory under onditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience and religion, subject only to the maintenance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses such as the slave trade, the nrms traſſic and the liquor traffic and the prrrention of the estab. lishment of fortifications or military and naral bases and of military training of the natives for other than police purposes and the defence of territory, and will also recure equal opportunities for the trade and commence of other Viembers of the League. There are territories, such as South West Africa and certain of the South Pacific Islands, which, owing to the sparkeness of their population, or their small size, or their remoteness from the centres of civilisation, or their grographicnl contiguity to the territory of the Mandatory, and other circumstances, can he best administered under the laws of the Mandatory ng integral portions of its territory, subject to the safeguards abore mentioned in the interest of the indigenous population. In every caso of mandate, the Mandatory shall render to the Council an annual report in reference to the territory committed to its charge The degree of authorits, control, or administration to lc exercised by the Mandatory shall, if not previously agreed upon by the Members of the I.cague, lic explicitly defined in cach case by the Council A permanent Commission shall be constituted to receive and examine the annun! reports of the Jandatories and to advise the Council on all matters relating to the observance of the mandates. TicLr 23. Subject in and in nutrdance with the provisions of international conventions cristing or liereafter to be agreed upon, the Jember of the League: (a) will endeavour to secure nnd ninintain fair and humane conditions of labnur for inen. women, and children, both in their nisn countries and in all cyntries to which their commercial and industrial relatione ritend, and for thnt purpose will e-tablish and maintain the necessary international organisations.

The Council may include as part of the expenses of the Secretariat the expenses of any bureau or commission which is placed under the direction of the League. ARTICLE 25. The Members of the League agree to encourage and promote the establishment and co-operation of duly authorised voluntary national Red Cross organisations having as purposes the improvement of health, the prevention of disease and the mitigation of suffering throughout the world.

[1$531 ·82 (166) SECTION 11. GENERAL PRINCIPLES. ARTICLE 289. The High Contracting Parties, recognising that the well-being, physical, moral and intellectual, of industrial wage earners is of supreme international importance, have framed, in order to further this great end, the permanent machinery provided for in Section I and associated with that of the League of Nations. They recognise that differences of climate, habits and customs, of economic opportunity and industrial tradition, make strict uniformity in the conditions of labour difficult of immediate attainment. But, holding as they do, that labour should not be regarded merely as an article of commerce, they think that there are methods and principles for regulating labour conditions which all industrial communities should endeavour to apply, so far as their special circumstances will permit. Among these methods and principles, the following seem to the High Contracting Parties to be of special and urgent importance : First.—The guiding principle above enunciated that labour should not be regarded merely as a commodity or article of commerce. Second.—The right of association for all lawful purposes by the employed as well as by the employers. Third–The payment to the employed of a wage adequate to maintain a reasonable standard of life as this is understood in their time and country. Fourth. The adoption of an eight-hours day or a forty-eight hours week as the standard to be aimed at where it has not already been attained. Fifth.—The adoption of a weekly rest of at least twenty-four hours, which should include Sunday wherever practicable. Sixth. The abolition of child labour and the imposition of such limitations on the labour of young persons as shall permit the continuation of their education and assure their proper physical development. Seventh. The principle that men and women should receive equal remuneration for work of equal value. Eighth.-The stàndard set by law in each country with respect to the conditions of labour should have due regard to the equitable economic treatment of all workers lawfully resident therein. Niñth.--Each State should make provision for a system of inspection in which women should take part, in order to ensure the enforcement of the laws and regulations for the protection of the employed. Without claiming that these methods and principles are either complete or final, the High Contracting Parties are of opinion that they are well fitted to guide the policy of the League of Nations; and that, if adopted by the industrial communities who are members of the League, and safeguarded in practice by an adequate system of such inspection, they will confer lasting benefits upon the wage-earners of the world. PART XIII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. ARTICLE 290. Bulgaria undertakes to recognise and to accept the conventions made or to be made by the Allied and Associated Powers or any of them with any other Power as to the traffic in arms and in spirituous liquors, and also as to the other subjects dealt with in the General Acts of Berlin of February 26, 1885, and of Brussels of July 2, 1890, and the conventions completing or modifying the same. ARTICLE 291. The High Contracting Parties, while they recognise the guarantees stipulated by the Treaties of 1815, and especially by the Act of November 20, 1815, in favour of Switzerland, the said guarantees constituting international obligations for the ·(107) maintenance of peac, declare nevertheless that the promisiuns of the imatie: conventions, declarations and other supplementary Icts conrruing the stralia zone of Savoy, as laid down in paragraph 1 of Irticle 0:2 vi tie linal.lit orals Congress of Vienna and in paragraph ? of Inule 3 of the Treaty of lines November 20, 1815, are no longer an intent with first (indiena reason the High Contracting Parties take note of the agreement noarded lassen the French Government and the Swive Government for the alongation of the stipulations relating to this zone which are and remunin nbraten The Iligh Contracting Parties also agree that the stipulaimne of the Treaties of 1815 and of the other supplementary Acts concerning the inv zones of Lpper Saroy and the Gex district are no longer consistent rrith present and one and that it is for France and Switzerland to come to an agreement together with a rin to settling beineen themselves the status of these territories under such conditions as shall be considered suitable by both countries. AXNEX I. The Swiss Federal Councıl has informed the French Covernment on May 3, 1010, that after cxamining the provisions of Article 433 of the leace conditions presented to Germany by the Allied and Associated Powers in a like spirit of sincere friendship it has lappily reached the conclusion that 1 184 possible to acquiesce in it under the folloiring conditions and revmations (1) The neutralised zone of Ilaute-Savoic: (a) It will be understood that as long as the Federal Chambers hare not ratificat the agreement come to between the two Governments concerning the alumnation of the stipulations in respect of the neutraliud zone of Savoy, nothing will be definitively settled, on one side or the other. in regard to this subject (1) The assent given by the Swiss Government to the abrogation of the almyr mentioned stipulations presupposes, in conformity with the tert adopted the recognition of the guarantees formulated in favour of Siritzerland lis the Treatice of 1815 and particularly by the Declaration of linemir 20. 1813 (c) The agreement between the Gorernments of France and Switzerland for thir abrogation of the above-mentioned stipulations will only be evinsidered na ralid of the Treaty of Peace contains this Article in its present ording In addition the l'artirs to the Treaty of Peace should endeavour to obtain the assone of the mirnators Power of the Treaties of 1815 and of the Declaration of Yorember 20, 1513, which are act signatories of the present Treaty of Peace (2) Frec zone of Inute-Savoie and the district of Cier (a) The Federal Council s resentations to the interfitrl.3 tion to be giran paragraph of the alese Irticle for ...pmuides thai "the simulations of the Trea: med supplementary acis cinerrning the free tribine of Ilanir Saio the Ger district are no longer nestent with pract anderastie The Federal Council would not sish that its acrplaner of the line ordens bele! lead to the conclusion that it would agree to the surfinssion of a creiem introdfre to Fire neighbouring territory the benefit of a special regime which is appropriate to the geographical and economical situation and shisch has been sellerim In the opinion of the Federal Council the questing is not the mail.clica of the customs system of the zones as set up by the Treaties mentionni niwe (in the pgulation in a manner more appropriate in the annomic and tonna of the prrr! day of the terms of the exchange of smels leeseen the propone in q:medranom Federal Council has been led to make the pineralinis narrationalis it goes c! the draft Contention incerning the future (unctitntion of its grimpe #1..-! *** While pair: tt ahncral to the note of April 20mm thr French Comproment abr reservations the Federal Council delire te rendre la ru.amire in trgor: friendly spirit any pmmaal which the French Consernne at man damit aniran In make on the subjére (6) It is mneriled that the stipulations of the Trr:11:0! 151::-idplei; Pentary acta mlative to the Inyone nellan in line pala pananigrwp is come in letren France and Souterrar la malaltierig?!,- T1873) . . .

·84 (168) II. The French Government have addressed to the Swiss Government, on May 18, 1919, the following note in reply to the communication set out in the preceding paragraph : In a note dated May 5 the Swiss Legation in Paris was good enough to inform the Government of the French Republic that the Federal Government adhered to the proposed Article to be inserted in the Treaty of Peace between the Allied and Associated Governments and Germany. The French Government have taken note with much pleasure of the agreement thus reached, and, at their request, the proposed Article, which had been accepted by the Allied and Associated Governments, has been inserted under No. 435 in the Peace conditions presented to the German Plenipotentiaries. The Swiss Government, in their note of May 5 on this subject, have expressed various views and reservations. Concerning the observations relating to the free zones of Haute-Savoie and the Gex district, the French Government have the honour to observe that the provisions of the last paragraph of Article 435 are so clear that their purport cannot be misapprehended, especially where it implies that no other Power but France and Switzerland will in future be interested in that question. The French Government, on their part, are anxious to protect the interests of the French territories concerned, and, with that object, having their special situation in view, they bear in mind the desirability of assuring them a suitable customs régime and determining, in a manner better suited to present conditions, the methods of exchanges between these territories and the adjacent Swiss territories, while taking into account the reciprocal interests of both regions. It is understood that this must in no way prejudice the right of France to adjust her customs line in this region in conformity with her political frontier,'as is done on the other portions of her territorial boundaries, and as was done by Switzerland long ago on her own boundaries in this region. The French Government are pleased to note on this subject in what a friendly disposition the Swiss Government take this opportunity of declaring their willingness to consider any French proposal dealing with the system to be substituted for the present régime of the said free zones, which the French Government intend to formulate in the same friendly spirit. Moreover, the French Government have no doubt that the provisional maintenance of the régime of 1815 as to the free zones referred to in the above mentioned paragraph of the note from the Swiss Legation of May 5, whose object is to provide for the passage from the present régime to the conventional régime, will cause no delay whatsoever in the establishment of the new situation which has been found necessary by the two Governments. This remark applies also to the ratification by the Federaſ Chambers, dealt with in paragraph 1 (a), of the Swiss note of May 5, under the heading “Neutralised zone of Haute-Savoie.' ARTICLE 292. The High Contracting Parties declare and place on record that they have taken note of the Treaty signed by the Government of the French Republic on July 17, 1918, with His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco defining the relations between France and the Principality. ARTICLE 293. The High Contracting Parties agree that, in the absence of a subsequent agreement to the contrary, the Chairman of any Commission established by the present Treaty shall in the event of an equality of votes be entitled to a second vote. ARTICLE 294. The Allied and Associated Powers agree that where Christian religious missions were being maintained by Bulgarian societies or persons in territory belonging to them, or of which the government is entrusted to them in accordance ·with the present Treaty, the property which these missions or missingary miesie: possessed, including that of trading societies whose profita frere dercial to tbc support of missions, shall continue to be devoted to missionary, purpoxes. In erder to ensurc the duc cxecution of this undertaking the Allied and Associated mera. ments will hand over such property to boirds of trustees appointed by or appried by the Governments and composed of persons holding the faith of the Slasica Ice property is involved. The Allied and associated Gorernments, rhile continuing to maintain full control as to the indırıdunls by trhom the Missions are conducted, will safeguard the interests of such Missions, Bulgaria, taking note of the abore undertaking, ngrers to acrp: all nrrange ments made or to be made by the Allied or Associated Goremment concerne ior carrying on the work of the said missions or trading societies and maires all claim. on their behalf.

Bulgaria accepts and recognises as valid and binding all decrons and orders concerning Bulgarinn ships and Bulgarian goods and all orders relating in the payment of costs made by any Prize Court of any of the Allied or Issmiale Powers, and undertakes not to put forward any claim arising out of such derna or orders on behalf of any Bulgarian national.

The Court may also give an advisory opinion upon any dispute or question referred to it by the Council or by the Assembly. ARTICLE 15. If there should arise between Members of the League any dispute likely to lead to a rupture, which is not submitted to arbitration in accordance with Article 13, the Members of the League agree that they will submit the matter to the Council. Any party to the dispute may effect such submission by giving notice of the existence of the dispute to the Secretary General, who will make all necessary arrangements for a full investigation and consideration thereof. For this purpose the parties to the dispute will communicate to the Secretary General, as promptly as possible, statements of their case with all the relevant facts and papers, and the Council may forthwith direct the publication thereof. The Council shall endeavour to effect a settlement of the dispute, and if such efforts are successful, a statement shall be made public giving such facts and explanations regarding the dispute and the terms of settlement thereof as the Conncil may deem appropriate. If the dispute is not thus settled, the Council either unanimously or by a majority vote shall make and publish a report containing a statement of the facts of the dispute and the recommendations which are deemed just and proper in regard thereto. Any Member of the League represented on the Council may make public a statement of the facts of the dispute and of its conclusions regarding the same. If a report by the Council is unanimously agreed to by the members thereof other than the Representatives of one or more of the parties to the dispute, the Members of the League agree that they will not go to war with any party to the dispute which complies with the recommendations of the report. If the Council fails to reach a report which is unanimously agreed to by the members thereof, other that the Representatives of one or more of the parties to the dispute, the Members of the League reserve to themselves the right to take such action as they shall consider necessary for the maintenance of right and justice. If the dispute betweeen the parties is claimed by one of them, and is found by the Council, to arise out of a matter which by international law is solely within the domestic jurisdiction of that party, the Council shall so report, and shall make no recommendation as to its settlement. The Council may in any case under this Article refer the dispute to the Assembly. The dispute shall be so referred at the request of either party to the dispute, provided that such request be made within fourteen days after the submission of the dispute to the Council. In any case referred to the Assembly, all the provisions of this Article and of Article 12 relating to the action and powers of the Council shall apply to the action and powers of the Assembly, provided that a report made by the Assembly, if concurred in by the Representatives of those Members of the Leayue represented on the Council and of a majority of the other Members of the League, exclusive in each case of the Representatives of the parties to the dispute, shall have the same force as a report by the Council concurred in by all the members thereof other than the Representatives of one or more of the parties to the dispute. ARTICLE 16. Should any Member of the League resort to war in disregard of its covenants under Articles 12, 13 or 15, it shall ipso facto be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other Members of the League, which hereby undertake immediately to subject it to the severance of all trade or financial relations, the prohibition of all intercourse between their nationals and the nationals of the convenant-breaking State, and the prevention of all financial, commerical or personal intercourse between the nationals of the convenant-breaking State and the nationals of any other State, whether a Member of the League or not. It shall be the duty of the Council in such case to recommend to the several Governments concerned what effective military, naval or air force the Members of the League shall severally contribute to the armed forces to be used to protect the convenants of the League.

The character of the mandate must differ according to the stage of the development of the people, the geographical situation of the territory, its economic conditions and other similar circumstances. Certain communities formerly belonging to the Turkish Empire have reached a stage of development where their existence as independent nations can be provisionally recognised subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance by : Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these coinmunities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory. Other peoples, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage that the Matidatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory under conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience and religion, subject only to the maintenence of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses such as the slave trade, the arms traffic and the liquor traffic, and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military and naval bases and of military training of the natives for other than police purposes and the defence of territory, and will also secure equal opportunities for the trade and commerce of other Members of the League. There are territories, such as South-IV'est Africa and certain of the South Pacific Islands, which, owing to the sparseness of their population, or their small size, or their remoteness from the centres of civilisation, or their geographical contiguity to the territory of the Mandatory, and other circumstances, can be best administered under the lairs of the Mandatory as integral portions of its territory, subject to the safeguards above mentioned in the interests of the indigenous population. In every case of Mandate, the Mandatory 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 exercised by the Mandatory 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 be constituted to receive and examine the annual reports of the Mandatories and to advise the Council on all matters relating to the observance of the mandates. ARTICLE 23. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of international conventions existing or hereafter to be agreed upon, the Members of the League : (a) will endeavour to secure and maintain fair and humane conditions of labour for men, women and children, both in their own countries and in all countries to which their commercial and industrial relations extend, and for that purpose will establish and maintain the necessary international organisations ; (6) undertake to secure just treatment of the native inhabitants of territories under their control; (C) will entrust 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 entrust the League with the general supervision of the trade in arms and ammunition with the countries in which the control of this traffic is necessary in the common interest; (e) will make provision to secure and maintain freedom of communications and of transit and equitable treatment for the commerce of all Members of the League. In this connection, the special necessities of the regions devastated during the war of 1914-1918 shall be borne in mind ; (f) will endeavour to take steps in matters of international concern for the prevention and control of disease.

For the purposes of this Part, the Ottoman Public Debt shall be deemed to consist of the Debt heretofore governed by the Decrec of Mouharrem, together with such other loans as are enumerated in Annex I to this part. Loans contracted before November 1, 1914, will be taken into account in the distribution of the Ottoman Public Debt between Turkey, the States of the Balkan Peninsula and the new States set up in Asia. This distribution shall be effected in the following manner : (1) Annuities arising from loans prior to October 17, 1912 (Balkan Wars), shall be distributed between Turkey and the Balkan States, including Albania, which receive or have received any Turkish territory; (2) The residue of the annuities for which Turkey remains liable after this distribution, together with those arising from loans contracted by Turkey between October 17, 1912, and November 1, 1914, shall be distributed between Turkey and the States in whose favour territory is detached from Turkey under the present Treaty. ARTICLE 243. The general principle to be adopted in determining the amount of the annuity to be paid by each State will be as follows: The amount shall bear the same ratio to the total required for the service of the Debt as the average revenue of the transferred territory bore to the average revenue of the whole of Turkey (including in each case the field of the Customs surtax imposed in the year 1907) over the three financial years 1909–10, 1910–11, and 1911–12.

On each new creation of revenue or of indirect taxes approved by the Financial Commission, the Commission shall consider the possibility of entrusting the administration thereof to the Council of the Debt for the account of the Turkish Government.

SECTION II. GENERAL PRINCIPLES. ARTICLE 414. -- The High Contracting Parties, recognising that the well-being, physical, moral and intellectual, of industrial wage-earners is of supreme international importance, have • framed, in order to further this great end, the permanent machinery provided for in Section I and associated with that of the League of Nations. They recognise that differences of climate, habits and customs, of economic opportunity and industrial tradition, make strict uniformity in the conditions of labour difficult of immediate attainment. But, holding as they do, that labour should not be regarded. merely as an article of commerce, they think that there are methods and principles for regulating labour conditions which all industrial communities should endeavour to apply, so far as their special circumstances will permit. Among these methods and principles, the following seem to the High Contracting Parties to be of special and urgent importance : first. The guiding principle above enunciated that labour should not be regarded merely as a commodity or article of commerce. Second.--The right of association for all lawful purposes by the employed as well as by the employers.
