Mr.. Lansing on Mandates

In the Bullitt testimony Secretary
Lansing was represented as being "also-
lutely opposed to the United States tax
ing mandate either IN Armenia or Con-
stantinople" No reasons were given bv
Mr.. Bullitt for this opposition except
that the Secretary thought that Con-
stantinople ought to be under local
government, the chief members of which
would be appointed by an international
committee
Some light is thrown, however, on Mr..
Lansing's general attitude toward the
mandatary system by his address before
the American Bar Association, just pub
lished by the Government Printing
Office. He is plainly skeptcal of the
mandatory solution. Thus he SAYS:
"The system of mandataries under the
league Of nations provided in the cove
nant, which to the casual observer appears
simple In principle and application, is a
novelty in political authority, which the
more it is studied from the legal stand
point the greater the number of problems
which (?O it presents"
The Secretary truly says that the de-
termination of the possession of SOW
ereignty over territory is essential to
the determination of international rights
and obligations. Therefore, the question
arises in the case of any territory subject
to the mandatory power that possesses
the sovereignty. The mandatory power
cannot possess it, because any authority
1t exercises is derived from a warrant
to exercise temporary control given to it
by the league of nations.
Does the league, then, possess full SOW
ereignty. the exercise of which in part

The Boston Lesson

In his telegram to Samuel Gompers Gov
ernor Coolidge of Massachusetts speaks
the voice Of nation that sees the right
and knows other course than to up
hold it, calmly, steadfastly.
"There is no right to strike against
The public safety by anybody, anywhere,
any time," he wrote.
Tersely and simply put, the words ex-
press perfectly the truth that we are all
coming to realize as The controlling fact
in this era of strikes, threatened and
threatening. Every body of men has a
right to advance it's fortunes by every
orderly means, save only that it cannot
jcopardize the lives and safety of the
public. The policemen of Boston could
not at once gain what they desired, there.
fore they turned over their city to thugs
and rowdies. The case was an extreme
example of childish vindictiveness and
selfish spite. Thanks to the courage and
plain speech Of Governor Coolidge, it has
served to clarity the minds of all.

Local Excitement

William M. Bennett, having been de-
ieated for the Republican nomination for
President of the Board Of Aldermen bv
Representative Fiorella H. La Guardia
by l,6o0 apparent votes, raised the cry
Of fraud. The District Attorney was hot
with righteous horror. He made a visit
to the Board Of Elections, where he in
spected the poll books and made serious
charges touching the crime of counting
Tor one candidate votes that were cast
tor another. This was on September 4.
Yet eight days later, from the Assistant
District Attorney who conducted the in
vestigation, came words of other nnrnor+
For instance:
New-York tribune., 1919-09-16

1t can delegate to an agent or trustee?
That would be the natural assumption.
But in that case does the league Of
nations possess the attributes of an indie
pendent state, so that it can function
as possessor Of sovereignty over terri
tory? Is the league supernatural
world state, clothed with world SOW
ereignty?
That was perhaps the original concep-
ton Of the league in the minds Of some
of its promoters. Such league would
OF course, have enjoyed sovereignty and
would have beel fully responsible for
misconduct on the part of it's agent, the
mandatary. But it now is generally con-
ceded that the league is not a super
state. If so, asks Mr.. Lansing, 'if the
league is not capable of possessing SOW
eregnty, then who does possess it; who
is responsible for the acts Of the manda-
tary, and upon what ultimate authority
does the league base the issuance of a
mandate?"
The questions which he raises the
Secretary doesn't try to answer. He
says he believes legal formula can be
found which will meet the difficulties.
But what that formula is remains undis-
closed. In its absence Mr.. Lansing's
hesitation about approving the accept
ance of mandates by this country is per-
fectly intelligible

A Dream That Wrecks

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIT: II successful municipal statesnanshin
can be exempilied by the complete disintecra-
ton OF unified system OF surface street rail-
ways, the abolition Of q single fare. the
imposition of many fares and the aban-
donment Of several subsidiary lines alto
gether, then we have home example of If
which ought to give US a complete test Of
all lts advantages. First we have the star
vaton OF railroads which have been giving
complete one-fare service; then we have
the resulting receiverships; now we have
the disintegration and the multiple fares
All this in the name of The average man
who is to ride at one scent fare every-
where or not at all.
Well, the scent fare from centre to cir
cumference and from horizon TO horizon
has vanished, and instead of one fare that
paws for the service there are several fares
and several long walks for nothing.
4he same mind or minds (such prof,n
dity must be the synthesis of several deem
minds) which have planned the destruction
OF the transportation lines in behalf of a
great dream of municipal ownership and
operation now contemplate another fri
umph-the wrecking of the company oper-
atlng the subway and elevated lines. To
De sure, the city is in partnership with
these lines. but it also Is in the hands of
deep thinkers, who believe thev can orab
the property after breaking the operating
company. Happily a court of equity will
intervene and save the property not only
OF the railroad corporation but Of its
partner, the temporarily irrational corpo-
ration of New York. 1t is fortunate that
there IS power somewhere which can save
the city and its property from it's own Of
ticials.
But the desperate situation of these great
properties Is to be made doubly desperate
New-York tribune., 1919-09-16

before court can intervene and dismal
the dream of confscation.
Meanwhile clear the bridges for the daiIv
and evening progress Of municipal cars
high powered, speedy, comfortable and
earning not even scent fare, Mean
"hile promise those who walk and those
who dig deep for multiple fares that ci+v
omnlouses will carry them sometimes for
half fares Of such stuff Is munjcjnal
craftsmanship composed.
