impression that they were acting under
mandate from the American people
to exert all their power TO bring about
the adoption Of this programme.
One would seek in vain to discover
in any resolutions OF either house of
Congress, in any volume OF resolutions
OF civic bodies. or in any uniform trend
OF press expression, evidence that the
American people is unanimous. or even
that there is a majority of sentiment
actually and affirmativcly supporting
the proposition to commit the United
States to an international alliance
which shall make it responsible, with
other great powers, and some small
ones, for the preservation of the peace
of the world, and require her to back
up shat responsibility by sending Amer
lean soldiers, on occasion, to Europe.
Asia or Africa.
| do not pretend to say that the
American people may not approve en-
try into such an alliance, if the Presi-
dent, with the approval of the Senate,
sanction it, but the people have not
yet expressly laid upon the President
a mandate to commit the country to
such plan. The mandate must be
like that of the messenger who came
to st. Paul in dream, bcseeching him
to come over into Macedonia. Europe,
however, assumes that the American
President voices Americas detcrmna-
ton.

Gar Alexander's Proposal
To European Nations

In 1904 Car Alexander l, first in
writing, suggested that if Europe was
to be saved from the aggressions of
Napoleon the governments, to achieve
that result, should unite in a treaty
which should become the basis of the
reciprocal relations of the European
states.
1T is no question of realizing the
dreams of perpetual peace" he said,
"but one could attain at least to some
extent CT its results if at the con-
cIusion of the general war one could
establish on clear and precise prin-
ciples the prescription of the rights IF
nations. Why could not one submit TO
it the positive rights of nations. assure
the privilege of neutrality, and insert
the obligation of never beginning war
until all resources which the media
tion of third party could offer have
been exhausted, or until the grievances
have by this means been brought to
light and effort to remove them has
been made On principles such as
these one could proceed to a general
pacification and give birth to league
of which the stipulations would form,
so to speak, new code of the law of
nations, which, sanctioned by the
greater part Of the nations of Europe,
would without difficulty become the
mmutable rule of the cabinets, while
those who should try to infringe it
would risk bringing upon themselves

tory assigned to them, but vast popula-
lions must be fed to save them from
starvation and the world from the acts
of men made desperate by hunger and
despair. Other methods, too, must be
adopted TO prevent the spread through
out Europe Of the social disease known
as Bolshevsm.
The peace conference, at the very
outset Of its deliberations, has hinched
in dealing with that menace. It means
to establish small nations. yet it has
not drawn up the resolution to send
much needed help to Poland the best
bulwark against Bolshcvism.
Local jcalousics and CONFLICTS OF
those ambitions and reacntments which
are strongest in the small and weak
will develop among the newly created
nations. They can only be kept in
check by the forces OF The great
powers. NJ. Clcmenceau, on the same
day that witnessed the adoption of the
resolution to create the league Of ma
tions, replied sternly to the represent
ativcs OF the small nations who had
protested. against the naAequacy of
the representation accorded to them
upon the various commissions created
by the conference 70 consider and re-
port on important questions affecting
their welfare, saying:
I've cannot accept the suggestion
that any committee shall have the right
to dictate to the five great powers"
1t was blunt revelation of the fact
that the great powers arc formulating
and propose to pronounce the terms
upon which the peace of the world is
to be established and by which the
fate of the small nations shall be de-
termined. They will be accorded jus
tcc, that which the five great powers
agree to be justice, where they are
concerned. America will share with
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan
the responsibility Of insuring the full
flmcnt of the settlements that sha..
be made.

Policy in Philippines
Upset by Democrats

We have had undivided control Of
the Philippine Islands for twenty
wears, and the benefits accomplished
under the Republican administrations
have been largely undone during the
last six years. The partisan political
views of the different administrations
temporarily in control of our govern
ment recognize no obligation to carry
! cut any settled national tradition or
purpose regarding colonies, as is the
case with Great Britain or France.
Can the results of conferences of the
nations making up the league, which is
intended ultimately to embrace all civ
ilized governments, furnish any more
stable or settled policy which would
prevent such a reversal of ten years
consistent programme as the Demo
cratic administration inflicted upon the
Philippines, after its accession to
power,
Mr.. Wilson very truly said, in sup
porting his motion, "Thc United States
in entering the war never for mo-
ment thought she was intervening in
the politics of Europe, Asia or any part
of the world. Her thought was that
there was a single cause that turned
upon the issues of this war;; that that
was the cause of liberty and Justice
in the world, and therefore that the
| United States should feel that its part
had been played in vain if there ensucd
upon it a body of European settle

Ideas Crystallized Into
The Holy Alliance

The language Of this paragraph,
apply applies to the present situation
/. is familiar to history how the high
IDEAS Of the Gar were finally reduced
% the terms of he Holy Alliance,
which, as Professor W. A. Phillips
says, "in its inception, at least, was
coiored by lofty idealism, and ended
b. sinking in the nostrils of all 4f6vers
Of liberty" This result possibly may
be ascribed to the fact that England
remained outside on Alexander's pro-
posal TO invite the United States to
agree with the European Allies on the
question of the Spanish-American col
onics, which was not adopted.
1t will always be a credit to his
memory that the Car designed by this
Eian to restore to each nation the full
end entire enjoyment of it's rights and
q It's institutions, and to place them
al, including his own, under the safe
guard of a general alliance in order to
guarantee the one and to save the
other from tho ambitions of con-
aucror
But The world was not then ready
for such a pJan, the Gar himself, as
little as anr other, as was found in
the working out of the scheme. Is il
going TO be more practicable to-day?
In the course of the remarks with
which ne supported his motion to adopt
a resolution to create the league,
Ar- Wilson stated that the repre-
sentatives Of the United States
regarded il as the keystone of the
-IEiloIe programme. and he convened the
