Colonial Administration.

Administration of the colonies for
merly possessed by Germany by the
mandatory" method has been tenta-
lively agreed upon in the Paris con-
ference, to the chagrin, it would ap-
pear, of certain of the colonial dele
gates of the British empire, who looked
forward to a material enlargement of
their spheres. Particular objection is
raised by Premier Hughes of Austria
liza against the Observation-Disclosures of
New Guinea. Though not as frankly
expressed, the same sentiment is indi-
Gated on the part of the South Afri-
cans with regard to the former Ger
man holdings in that continent.
Mandatory administration is virtual
1y an Observation-Disclosures of the for
mcr German colonies. 1t is based
upon the principle of government
strictly and solely for the benefit of
the inhabitants, and excludes all
thought of trade advantages for the
administering powers. 1t is undoubt-
edly the most enlightened and the most
just method of treatment, provided
good government is assured. Whether
the lack of any selfish interest on the
part of administrators in any degree
lessons the chance of sound admins
fration is question. There can be
no doubt that strictly selfish colo
niai government can be cruel and
harmful, as in the case of the German
administration of the colonies now in
question. On the other hand, the
British administration of colonies has
been considerate and of late years
calculated to make for development.
It would seem that the conclusion of
the Paris conferees to internationalize
the former German colonies has been
aetuated not so much by fear of undue
British advantage in the direct pos
session of these areas, to which claim
has been laid, as by desire to es-
tabiish a new principle, virtually in
harmony with the doctrine of self-de-
termination. The inhabitants of these
countries are not capable, at present,
of self-government. They are back
ward, undeveloped and unready for
statehood If left to their own devices
they would lapse into savagery and
would be a menace. If properly gov
erned they may become strong enough
in time to administer their own af-
fairs. The world will undoubtedly be
better if this principle can be success
fully carried into effect. The United
States has itself applied it in the
Philippines, in taking over an island
colony misruled by Spain, bringing it
to a higher state of culture than ever
before and preparing it gradually for
a degree of independence that could
never have been possible under old
conditions.

Business Is Business.

The furry in the Senate yesterday
over the prohibition by England of
importations of certain products, some
of which we supply, Will have a good
effect if it brings home to us the fact
that peace has restored, among other
things, the application of the homely
old truth that business is business" !;
that all the great nations now are
planning to return 10 business basis,
in the hope and for the purpose of re-
coupling their enormous war losses as
speedily as possible.
The reference by the President in
ills fourteen points to the removal of
economic barriers puzzled the public
at the first reading as did his pro-
nouncements about league of nations
and the freedom of the seas. But he
soon explained that he had not meant
world free trade, as, indeed, he could
not web have done and hoped for seri-
Gus consideration for the proposition
at the peace conference. The matter,
however, remained, and still remains
q little cloudy.
In times of peace England applied
free trade policy because it was to
her interests. She took down economic
barriers to serve her economic pur-
poses. Her interests now, as she thinks
affected by the war, require putting up
The barriers, and she announces that
policy.
In time, and maybe soon, France and
Italy will decide what changes of eco
nomic policies the war has imposed
upon them, and we shall find them
looking out for their interests. And
when Germany, and Austria, and Rus,
STA, and Turkey emerge with stable
governments from their present chaos
they viii shape their economic policies
according to their interests.
Very well. 1t is England first in

with the army reduced to less than
one-tenth of the force opposing the
allies when the armistiee was signed,
Germany is utterly helpless and in no
position to resist any terms that may
be imposed upon her by the Paris con-
ference. With the death of Liebknecht
the bolshevik movement in Germany
appears to have subsidized. There is
little reason now to fear any revival
of it or the spread of radicalism in the
former empire. In these circumstances
the task of the peacemakers at Paris
is simplified, and there is no occasion
to compromise for fear of renewal of
the war or the development of anar-
chical conditions in Germany. Exact
justice can be done.
