Presidents Statement on Manda

On Jan. 81 in the Council Of Ten
he made a clear statement of what
was in the mind of those who pro-
posed a trusteeship for the League
OF Nations through the appointment
of manufactures"
Here is what the President said:
Tn the first place, the League of
Nations would lay down certain
general principles in the mandate,
namely, that districts be admins
tered primarily with a view To the
betterment of the conditions of the
inhabitants. Secondly, that there
should be no discrimination against
the members Of the League of
Nations so as to restrict economic
access to the resources of the dis
tricts. All countries would
pay the same duties all would have
the same right of access.
This. in brief, was the President
idea Of the new principle he sought
to have applied. 1t was opposed.
root and branch. to the old imperial
istic practices.
Up to the time of his arrival in
Europe, however. the President does
not appear to have considered the
incorporation of such a principle in
the League of Nations. II occurs
in none OF the earlier drafts of the
covenant" On reaching Paris

however. he saw a. pamphlet ("Thc
League of Nations: Practical Sug-
gestion') written by General Jan
SHUTS OF South Africa and pub
lished In December. 1913. This con-
tained "a proposal for setting up a
mandatory system" to deal with
territories belonging TO the old en-
pires of RUSSIA. Austria Hungary
and Turkey. President Wilson. as
already shown. was greatly i'm
pressed by the statesmanlike sug-
gestlons of General Smuts-and the
idea Of the mandatory system as n
part Of the responsibility Of the
League mt once joined up with the
American principles already In his

more than ever convinced that II
would take all the power OF league
OF nations with America in it to
support the vital colonial principles
for which America stood.
But the President. when he used
General Shuts suggestion. had
pressed it further than General
SHUTS ever intended. He univer-
salized it. General SHUTS never

their millions of population AMI
their great strategic. political and
economic value, quite as dangerous
in practice and as likely to be the
cause OF future wars as the annexa-
ton OF parts of Turkey. Russia or
Austria. He clearly foresaw. the
difficulties which would later arise
over the control of the Pacific and
OF China-if the new principle was

cause 1t was right or Ideal" but
because It was the most practical
way to remove the dangers and cost
of militarism, and the causes of
war.
But any leader who rejects an old
method OF settlement must be able
to assert and explain new method.
Thus President Wilson was forced
as tho others knew he would be-to
defend n system which he, and his
commission on the League OF
Nations. had not yet had the time
to work out! They had attacked
his line at it's weakest point. But

had come to support that day" It
also developed presently that the
Belgians expected German East

other provisional claims based up on
the secret Treaty of London. A

In this brief and summary way all
the German colonies were alienated

them moral sanctions. Even Herr

Mr.. Lloyd George was at his best
in presenting and dramatizing such
a situation as this. Vigorously on
his feet. with his leonine head
thrown back, and his arguments
pouring from him in a colorful tor
rent. he was an engaging and per-
suasiye figure. He now presented
three possible methods Of future
control Of the colonies. The first
was Observation-Disclosures or direct
administration by the League Of
Nations-and this he rejected with
out argument-and it was never
indeed seriously considered by the
conference. Former experience Of
such international control as in the
Congo, Samoa and the New
Hebrides. in Egypt and Morocco,
had been unfortunate. The second

League as mandatory"-the idea
already widely discussed as n part
OF the Legue OF Nations scheme.
The third was frank, old-fashioned
annexation--and this was what the
British Dominions wanted and
wanted at once-and In this policy
OF annexation Mr.. Lloyd George
supported them. If he could estab-
lish this policy in connection with
the colonies. whore his anxiety was
not so much for Great Britain her
self as on behalf OF her Domihions,
it would make easier sailing when
the problem of ''parceling out the
Turkish empire" which he saw just
ahead, came up.

THE last two chapters have
shown with what vi:Sor and
= success the President had
driven forward the development of
the two primary elements of the
American program at Paris. He
had brought his plan for n League
OF Nations strongly into the fore
ground OF the discussions, and was
himself the chairman OF the COM
mission which was preparing a con-
stittYtion for II. lie had also secured
tho reluctant acceptance OF the
equally important aspect CT this
program: that this League was to
be organized as part of the peace
itself. Apparently the new order
was winning all along the line.
But the wilicr diplomats of TIE old
order had not been sleeping on their
arms.
They did not like this League:
and. above all, they did not want it
in the treaty. Moreover, they had
been genuinely alarmed at &C tain
OF the proposals in Wilson's cove
nant. Could he mean TO stand. for
example, lcF inc In3ttudtOTN Cbiitlpi
or all the former German colonies,
and all Turkey. as he proposed? It
was particularly disturbing TO the
British Dominions and to. Japan,
who wished to divide Immediately
the German colonies In the Pacific
and in Africa as spells OF war.
Their plan was simple-to de-
mand at once n division or the
spoils. before the discussion of the
League. or of the mandatory sys-
tenn. could even he begun. They
had got the consideration OF the
covenant (as was shown in the last
Chapter) put away safely. as they
thought, in commission, through
the resolution OF Jan. 80.
On the very next day, Jan. %

tstcd the discussion OF the DISPOSE

What Would Wilson Do?

II wa, an exceedingly bold and
clever tactical move. calculated in
the first place TO get the Allies what
they wanted, and in the second. to
test out the capacities and fighting
qualities OF this American leader.
For President Wilson was the
great unknown factor at Paris.
While every ono knew what he had
said no one knew yet what he
would do. ~
Was he merely an inspirational
preacher who had caught the cnthu-
siasm OF the world. or did he mean
business? How much of a fighter
was he9
