Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of International engagements, such as treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like the Monroe doctrine for se* curing the maintenance of -peace. [Entirely new.] ARTICLE TWENTY-TWO. To those colonies and territories which, as a consequence of the late war, have ceased to be under thfc 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 ot 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 practicable effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples be intrusted to advanced nations who, by reason of their resources, their experience or their geographical position, can best undertake this responsibility and who are willing to accept it. and that this tutelage should be exercised by them as mandatories on behalf of the league. ^Certain communities, formerly belonging to the Turkish empire have reached a stage of development^here their existence, as Independent nations, can be provisionally recognised subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance by a mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration In the selection of the mandatory peoples, especially those of central Africa, who are at such a stage that the mandatory must be resitonsihle for the m I n 1st rati on of the territory under conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion subject only to the maintenance 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 nations for other than police purposes and the defense of territory, and will also secure equal opportunities for the trade and commerce of other members of the league. 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 observance of the mandates. , ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE. Subject to and In accordance With the provisions of International conventions existing or hereafter to be agreed upon, members of the 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 their commercial and industrial relations extend, and for that purpose will establish and maintain the necessary international organizations. (b) Undertake to secure just treatment of the native Inhabitants of territories under their 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 Instruct the league with the general supervision of the trade in arms and ammunition with the countries in which the control of this traffic is nece^jary In the common interest. (e) will make provision to secure and maintain freedom of communication and of transit and equitable treatment for the commerce of all members of the league. In this connection the special necessities of the regions devested during the war of 1914-1018 shall be In mind. (f) Will endeavor to take steps In matters of International concern for the prevention and control of disease. [Thts replaces the original article XX, and embodies parts of the original articles XVIII and XXI. It eliminates a specific provision formerly made for a bureau of labor and adds the clauses (b) and (c).] ARTICLE TWENTY-FOUR. There shall be placed under the direction of the league all international bureaus already established by general treatit-s if the parties to such treaties consent. All such international bureaus and all commissions for the regulation of matters of international interest hereafter constituted shall be placed under the direction of the league. 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-f)£ the league. % ARTICLE TWENVY-FIVE, t > The members of the league agree to encourage and promote the establishment and co-operation of duly authorized voluntary nntlonal Red Cross organizations having as purposes improvement of health, the prevention of disease, and mitigation of suffering throughout the world. ARTICLE TWENTY-SIX. Amendments to this covenant will take effect when ratified by the members of the league whose representatives compose the council and by a majority of the members of the league whose representatives compose the assembly. Such amendment shall (the word not apparently omitted In cable transmission) bind any member of the league which, signifies Its dissent therefrom, but in that case it shall cease to be a member of the league.

Dayton, O.--When John Kennett, forty-Seven years old, a steeplejack for more than a quarter of a century, stopped In Bedford, lnd„ nine months ago he secured lodging In a home where the fifteen-year-old daughter, Myrtle, did the housework. Now Myrtle saw no romance in washing dishes and in cleaning and cooking, and when the steeplejack asked her to become his bride the girl gave up her household duties and became Mrs. Kennett. The wedding took place six months ago, and Mrs. Kennett made her choice of future work by deciding to become a smokestack painter. Her ambition now is to become the world's greatest steeplejack. The bride eele- EUROPE NEEDS MUCH FOOD UfV the Surplus This Country Can Export Will Be Eagerly Absorbed, Says Hoover. Paris, April 27.--In the .harvest year from August, 1918, to August, 1919, Europe must Import 29,000,000 tons of foodstuffs from overseas, and to meet this there is available a total of about 35,000,000 tons, Herbert Hooker, chairman of the food section of the supreme economic council said. Shipping conditions are not satisfactory on account of strikes In many 'countries, and as a result there is no question that the entire American surplus will be absorbed. "We are at the worst phase of the European famine that was inevitable after the world war," Mr. Hoover said. The economic flood council is on top in the fight against famine, and food distribution Is organized to supply the affected areas In Europe outside of Russia, Mr. Hoover declared. The American relief administration has organized the systematic feeding of the undernourished children, numbering between 500,000 and 1,000.000. The United States will supply to Europe foodstuffs Valued roughly at $2,500,000,000. Enemy countries and neutrals will pay cash for what they receive. The relief authorities are doing their best to control the effect of the large demands on the American market. Mr. Hoover said that a statement by him on the possible price of wheat had been misinterpreted. He had said that in view of the demands of the world for food, the removal of price control with regard to wheat, sugar, pork products and cottonseed products would be dangerous to the' American Consumer. The control of the pork was removed, an^, Mr. Hoover said, had proved to be a disadvantage to the consumer. Mr. Hoover said he wished to emphasize that the control of the price of wheat would be maintained to the full extent of existing authority and that the American consumer need not be alarmed that there will be a material rise in the price of that food essential. America could sell more wheat than she has, but the exports are being regulated to reserve a sufficiency for domestic needs. The American army stocks of pork products in France, more than 60,000,- 000 pounds, had been purchased by the relief council and should furnish a sufficient supply of fats until harvest for liberated countries.
