Senior Ibanez, Chilean minister to

THE facts prove" continued the

years to decide whether those two
provinces desire TO remain under Chill

did not fulfill these conditions. On
the contrary she demanded new ones
providing that all Peruvians in Tacna
and africa should be allowed to vote,
irrespective of the length of their stay
in the provinces, while foreigners and
Chileans were TO be allowed to vote
only after having resided there a Ger

Can there be" the minister asked,

The public demands that we get
them. If we don't and go ahead dis
cussing legislation founded on unsnp-

Partisan investigation
Mr.. Decker asserted the inyestiga-
ton by the federal trade commission
was clearly partisan and incomplete.
He said the committee should let the
public know whether the packers
should go before the grand jury or be
given clear bill
Representative Esch of Wisconsin,

with Mr.. Decker that much of the i'm

OnymCus character. but believed the
committee should discuss the motion

Representative WlnSlOW said he did
not doubt that the trade commission
was inspired by honest motives in
making its investigation, but that the
committee should not accept second

Principles of Mandate
Certain military principles obtain
concerning the mandatory system
The state chosen as a mandate should
be chosen as the choice OF the people
to be governed Another principle is
the open and equal opportunities. All
nations are forbidden TO have great
er military force than is required for
police work, and all have the right to
appeal to the league from any in
justice
Opinion inclines also TO give the
mandate in perpetuity in order to
stimulate development, but with the
reservation that the mandate is re-
yccable for disagreement or through
the people reaching the stage of self
government
These are the main features OF the
mandatory system which the powers
now have accepted in principle and
which the great powers are engaged
in formulating the practical details
