Reports from Paris indicate that
as the mandatory" system adopted
by the peace conference for the gov
ernment of German colonies and
backward countries not otherwise
controlled, the United States will be
asked to look after Mexico.
1t is a logical application of the
plan. The United States is the ma
tural guardian of Mexico, because Of
the Monroe Doctrine and because
that troublesome country is our
next-door neighbor, and Americans
have large interests there.
Many Americans-and also many
foreigners-think we ought to have
got on the job definitely and earnest
ly, long ago. President Wilson's de-
lay seems to have been due largely to
his desire to convince Latin America
in general of the disinterestedness
and good will OF the United States.
That purpose has been pretty we'll
accomplished, by our conduct in the
European war even more than by
our forbearance with Mexico.
There would be little criticism
now of our taking Mexico in hand
on our own responsibility. There
could surely be none if We do so on
the authority of the league of ma
tions, acting as a disinterested agent
of the whole civilized world. And
with such authority, there would
probably be little resistance offered
by the Mexicans themselves.
