lc packers investigation.

the packers investigation.
 Whatever may be the result of the sen ate investigation as to the private beliefs of those mentioned, the result of the commis- sion $ inquiry and report on the Chicago packing house industry proves cOnclusively that their official work was efficiently done. The report carried recOmmenda- tlOns that the department of justice mstl- tute court proceedings against the packers for the purpose of accomplishing certain things necessary to prevent complete domination by the packing interests of the entire food supply sources of the United States. Wednesday Attorney General Palmer informed the senate agricultural committee that he had no intention of start ing action against the Chicago packers saying that the latter have done voluntarily those things which the Federal Trade Com mission recommended the department of justice to take steps to compel them to do. In other words the case made out by the would not even wait for 1t to be taken to the courts.
 The senate Investigating committee may find that some of the employees and even officials have socialistic views That would constitute no crime in the United States. The second whereas in the resolu- tion imputed bolshevism to them but Sen ator Watson's specifications failed to bring out an instance of such and the only ground for such a charge seems to have been ill the conclusion stated by the Indiana sen ator from the floor of the senate chamber that socialism and bolshevism are flnda mentally the same, which is refuted by the very alignment of socialist and communist groups everywhere.

'WICKISM" TO FIGHT

The coup of the anti-Heckman forces III Juneau, involving as it did a number of prominent Wickersham leaders in the terri toraI capital, is a plain indication that "Wickism" |" k preparing to make a hard fight for lt> existence in Alaska. Politically Speakmg, The Citizen has no interest in the candidacy of J. R. Heckman for the re- publican national committeemanship of the territory. Whatever candidate is succcss- fuI in the election this paper expects no political plums to fall in its back yard nor has it any political axe to grind.
 But, while The Citizen is a democratic publication, it puts first of all things the best interests of Alaska >rcgardless of poi- tics. And tho the republican party never again attain control of the government, whether or not it remain forever in the minority in Alaska, neither it nor the democratic party can do the work for the good of the territory they both would like to achieve as long as "Wicbism' obtrudcs itself into the political life of the North. We believe that Mr. Heckman with a large number of other sane republicans realize that fact, And we hope that the number of that class is sufficiently large to bring about the elimination of the objectionable element at the coming primary elections

COMMISSION INVESTIGATION

The senate committee named Wednes- day for an investigation of the activities of the Federal Trade Commission is created under a resolution introduced October 2O, last year, by Senator Watson in which it was declared:
 "Whereas there is reason to believe that. a number of the employees of the Fed eral Trade Commission have been, and are. engaged in socialistic propaganda and in furtherlng the organization and growth of sOclalistlc organizations: and
 Whereas, if bolshevism, with all that it implies is to be met and overcome in our country, it must be done by first oust- ing all its adherents and advocates from the public office: Therefore be 1t
 Resolved in the senate of the United States, that the committee on interstate commerce of the senate is hereby authoriz- ed and directed by subcommittee or other- wise to inquire into and report at the earli- est practical date the truthfumess of these charges: etc"
 In support of his resolution Senator Watson concluded a bitter attack on the commission by saying: 'I trust l have men toned enough to demonstrate that that of flee (the commission office in ChicagO) was, during all that period a center of radi- calism, a nesting place for socialists, a spawning ground for sovietism, and that, while professing to investigate business with view to eradicating it's evil features, they constantly plotted for the destruction of the business they were charged to in vestigate and for the cOnfiscation and col lective ownership of all the means for the creation and distribution of wealth.
 The senator declares that the intro ductiOn had nothing in connection with the report made by the commission on the operations of the Chicago packers despite the fact only the Chicago office of the com mission, the staff of accountants and clerks employed there being the only ones assail- ed. The first preamble of the resolution charges entrenched socialism in the Fed eral Trade Commission but Mir. Watson $ specifications dealt with it's force making

MANDATES IN THE NEAR EAST
(NeW York GlObe)

Mr. Morgenthau' proposal that the United States take a thirty years man date for the Near East, coming in conjunc- ton with the declaration of Lloyd George that no settlement can be arrived at in re- gard to Turkey until the attitude of the United States is known and the proposal of Senator Williams that we send troops into Armenia, is of an importance to us that few have given signs of appreciating The whole question of mandates and the despatch of troops to distant territories + under a cloud of distrust and misappre- hension until there is an organization to make the projects international. Both at home and abroad we are certain to be dis trusted if we take responsibilities for the protection of lesser nations or their com mercial development. Armenia needs a strong helping hand at once, and needs 1t badly. The conflicting interests of Eng land and France in the Near East probably debar either nation from going to her assis- tance alone. Italy's attitude is frankly selfish We shall accumulate a great bulk of suspicion at home and jealousy abroad if we shoulder the burden now.
 Under the league this difficulty would largely disappear. Whichever nation pro tects Armenia and attempts the commercial rehabilitation of Turkey will be carrying out an assigned task in the interest of man kind. There is no reason for asserting that because no such organization can alter the human desire for the extension of rights and the acquisition of privileges, the scheme is failure before it begins to func- tion. No law has ever changed men funda mentally Yet nobody is denying the use fitness of applied justice. It will be just as useful in international affairs as among individuals It will at least set up an ideal of conduct which will be expected of every state among the associated governments It will create a tribunal and standard We ourselves are doubtless no more deserv- ing to be trusted fully with the lands and rights of weaker races than any other great power We cannot be sure that our excel lent record is not in part due to a lack of temptation A mandate for Armenia and some outside control over Turkey are i'm peratively necessary. It should be under the supervision of the league of nations and not under the solitary guidance of England, France, Italy. or the United States
