The American people last November voted to take away
from Mr. Wilson his Congress because they did not approve
its Docv and practice in domestic affairs This paper for

his ear finely to the meaning of the national voice OF
America he himself could be left in no doubt that had

HISTORY REPEATED

In 1876 England and France estab-
lished dual protectorate over Egypt.
Six years later, in 1882, there broke
out in the Egyptian army a mutiny
against the authority of the Khedive.
France declined longer to be mixed
In the affair and England proceeded
to act alone. The result of her In
PREVENTION was the establishment of a
Temporary" English protectorate
which today amounts to nothing less
than absolute dominion. AT the time
of England's intervention, Egypt was
an independent state and while Eng
land has repeatedly pledged that her
occupation was temporary and Egypt
has as repeatedly asked for her in
dependence, England remains all-pow-
erful and all-governing in Egypt today.
After thirty-seven years a temper
airy" occupation is still in existence
and in fact has resolved itself into
absolute control.
Today through the power Of secret
treaties over those who drafted the
covenant of the league Of nations a
similar, international robbery" as
former Governor Joseph w. Folk has
characterized the Englind protector
ate In Egypt, has been committed In
the case Of Shantung, Japan Is placed
in control of Shantung with a verbal
promise that she will return Shantun 3
to China" as soon as possible" to use
President Wilson's own words. These
analogous cases bring up the question,
What is, "as soon as possible" and
how long is temporary? If at the
end of thirty-seven years England
continues to hold temporary" oc-
cupation of Egypt what is to prevent
Japan at the end Of a similar length
OF time from continuing to control
Shantung?
Mr.. Folk, counsel for the Egyptian
peace delegates, has appealed to tie
foreign relations committee to insert
a clause in the peace treaty giving
Egypt the right to appeal to the league
council for her independence. This
he stated was the least that could be
done in justice to country suffering
from the same wrong that now con.
fronts China. If such an appeal were
granted under the assumption that the
league would be adopted, the result Is
obvious. Japan would vote with Eng
land and England would vote will
Japan. 1t must be remembered too
that the league would be controlled
by the same powers who made the
treaty.

Pard was to go in when he was alb

worth of groceries from the party in
charge, present check for 500 in pay
ment and receive $500 in change.
The check she used in this last in
stance was drawn upon the State Ma
tional Bank in favor of Boyd Wilson
and signed by Mason Armstrong.
When 1t was presented at the bank IT
