MANDATORIES OLD AND NEW.

The term mandatory" so conspicuous in the League
of Nations constitution novelty so far as the ordinary
citizen is concerned But the thing it stands for is not
The United States has long been acting as man
datory without anybody ever suspecting it.
AS used by the Paris peace conference the word
protectorate established over weak nation by
strong one under international authority Thus Brit
ish South Africa may be given mandate" to govern
German Southwest Africa; Japan may be made manda-
tory for Marshall Island; the United States mandatory
for Mexico and America.
The only new element in this mandatory business is
the formal sanction of international federation Once
the meaning is made clear it becomes evident that the
United States has been acting mandatory for Cuba
ever since the Spanish American war. The mandate is
the less effective because give it to ourselves
with the passive acquescence of the other powers instead
of accepting it from their hands.
We are acting as mandatory today for Nicaragua
and Santo Domingo without even SO much legal sane
tion as the formal treaty we made with Cuba We have
stepped in likewise to restore order in various other
Latn-American countries from time to time.
We do all this under the general sanction of what
we call the Monroe Doctrine. And that doctrine be it
recognized, is simply declaration whereby President
Monroe about century ago, named the United States
as mandatory OF the whole western hemisphere He did
it without any apparent constitutional warrant but the
principle has been accepted and made informal ap-
pendage so to speak, of the constitution.
We have likewise made the United States manda-
tory for the Philippines voluntarily guaranteeing to rule
these islands for their benefit train the natives up
for citizenship, and then give them their freedom.
This mandatory system adopted at Paris, then is no
alien principle forced on the United States 1t is dis
tncty American principle, extended to protect the i'm

The senate investigating committee is being told by
federal officials who have the documents to prove their
assertions that the boshevk agtators are pushing their
campaign for bloody revolution openly and without
hndrance Their organizers working all the time and
their newspapers and literature are being distributed
throughout the country without being nterfered with
cept isolated cases. This situation shows that the nation
faces grave danger which best be aveed by prompt
and drastic action the part of congress by passing laws
which will make possible the suppression of the W. w..

who of foreign birth who take part in such organza

members fear the loss of few radical votes and the
politician always caters to the votes of the undesirable
elements and not ohse who stand for law and order The
blatant noise of the agtator frghtens the offcehoder
and the ofceseeker and that is why the senatorial in
