! NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-America
can hardly blame Australia if she
adopts one of Americas own prin-
iciples-the Monroe doctrine. This is
exactly what Australia has done-she
has proclaimed the Monroe doctrine
for the South Pacific. There Is no
selfish aggression in the Australian
attitude-it is simply desire to work
out her destiny free from aggressive
enemies, free from the dark shadow
of impending trouble which would
forever hang over her shores if the
Hun were allowed to return to the
Pacific,
We do not know that America will
desire to question Australia's claim
to live in a good neighborhood. For
that is what it amounts to. We do
not like burglar, a thug. much less
a wanton murderer, living at our
back door. The German has proved
an indisputable claim to all these
titles, and to more. He Is a Hun.
1t matters little If we are told that
the murderer has reformed. There
is no evidence of reformation yet,
save the fear to repeat the awful
crimes that bespatter the years Of
lGermany's military success. The
German promise has been pronounced
by the great leaders of the allies, in
cluding President Wilson, to be value
less. What evidence have we that a
pledge Of good conduct, wrung grud-
ingly in the hour of abject defeat,
will be anything but another scrap
of paper? So Australia, happy at last
! to reach out again to peaceful pros
perity, wants no sinister pickelhau-
ben to mar her fair horizon.
AS I have said we do not know
that America will dispute Australia 8
claim. We hope she will wholeheart-
edly support 1t. Australia says to
one proven foe Hands off the south

in the Pacific which were previously
held by Germany must not go back

the part of some to say that Aus
tralia is too small place, in point
| of population and influence, to merit
serious consideration. But this Is
essentially a war in which the rights
of small nations have been vfndi.
Gated, and altough in this case Aus
tralia is not nation, but a part of
the great empire of Britain, in this
matter she is almost in the position
of small nation asking that her own
personal rights shall be guarded And

American Ideals to Prevail.

PARTS, Dec. 14.-President Will
sons far-sighAedness in visiting Eu-
rope Is becoming increasingly appar-
ent to Americans here. They are
generally convinced that IL American
ideals are to prevail and the United
States IL to take its proper place in
world affairs, misunderstanding
must be cleared up, as we'll az viii
f,ll misinterpretations corrected.
That there is no diminution in the
proper gratitude for Americas time
|ly help in ending the war was strik-
ingly demonstrated by the unex-
ampled enthusiasm with which the
presidents arrival in Brest was
hailed, but undeniably there are
strong currents OF Jealousy and ma
tionalistic self-interest in the entente
countries which have been appre-
ciably encouraged by anti-Wilsontes
at home.
Utterances of Wilson's opponents
IN America have been spread
throughout Europe. Some OF these
quotations are even more pro-Brltlsh
than the British thems elves.
All of which might seriously handi-
cap the presidents mission if there
were not a genuine, popular d1sposl-
tton on this side to listen and Judge
according to it's merits Wilson's own
exposition of his principles.
Interest is most keen in how he
will handle the arguments OF those
who have been recently misconstru-
ing his principles, especially such OF
the fourteen points he considers
most fundamental.
Tremendous questions are await
ing the arrival of the president,
notably. freedom of the seas, a
league of nations, extradition Of the

TO PURCHASE oUTRIGHT
Board Has Been Named to Manage
Lines Now Under Government
Control, by Postmaster
General.

WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Tele-
phone and telegraph lines would be-
come permanent government-owned
utilities under resolution introduced
in the house by Chairman Moon of
the postoffice committee. Moon said
the measure had been drafted in
consultation with Postmaster General
Burleson, who had informed him that
the legislation was approved by Pres
ident Wilson.
The resolution was referred to the
postoffice committee, which soon will
begin hearings on 1t. Discussion of
the proposal in the house, however.
will precede the committee report.
Government control and operation Of
the telephone and telegraph lines is
limited by the existing resolution to
the period Of the war, but under the
measure offered it would continue
until otherwise ordered by con-
gress."
The resolution directs the postmas-
ter general to negotiate contracts for
the purchase Of the telephone lines,
subject to the approval of congress
and to have an appraisal made as to
the value of the telegraph property.
Inc TlSul VI luc "
purchase the telegraph systems Is
given under an existing law, accord
ing to administration officials. This
law, passed in 1856, was designed to
give government aid in the construc-
tion Of telegraph lines. and provided
that the privileges of operation given
the companies were nontransferable
except that the government might
purchase the property.
Provision was made for the ap-
pointment of five disinterested per-
sons to apprafse the properties should
the government decide to purchase
them Two of the appraisers would
be named by the postmaster general,
two by the companies and the fifth
by these four men.
Named to Operate Wires.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Postmas-
ter General Burleson appointed a

graph and telephone services under

f. "A. Stevenson. superintendent of
plants of the American Telephone
