[ Empire Industries Association, London. ] Printed pamphlet titled 'Mandated Territories | The Constitutional Position'.
4pp., 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In fair condition, aged and with rust spotting. The document begins: 'In view of the numerous discussions with regard to the status of the Mandated Territories, and the possibility of a request from Germany for the restoration of some or all of the former German Colonies, and in view of the many misconceptions as to the constitutional status of a Mandated Territory, the Empire Industries Association has prepared these brief notes in the hope that they will be helpful to those who may be taking part in any discussions on the problem. | As far as this country directly is concerned, the Mandated Territories which were formerly German Colonies are Tanganyika Territory, formerly German East Africa, British Cameroons, formerly part of German Cameroons, and British Togoland, formerly part of German Togoland.' The aim is to prove that 'the idea which is vaguely held in many quarters that these territories in some sense belong to the League of Nations, are held subject to good behaviour on a kind of tenancy, were only abstracted for the time being from Germany, and that there is some kind of residual claim to them on Germany's part, has no foundation whatever in fact'.
