stitution into an independent country
and for the canal rights which the
newly-created state ceded to the
United States in detriment OF Co
lombian interests. OF course, the
methods followed In the establish
ment of Panama and Manchukuo
were not exactly alike, but the role
played by the United States in that
of the former is already a matter OF
history. And the answer which the
Colombian President received from
Washington, when he offered to give
the United States the canal rights
by decree If he were allowed" to
land troops on the isthmus and sup
press the separatist rebellion, can be
found to contain language strangely
similar to that used recently by Toxic.
President Theodore Roosevelt, who
boasted, later on, II took the Canal
Zone" cabled to the Colombian
Chief Executive: "The people Of
Panama, having by an apparently
unanimous movement, dissolved their
political connection with the repub-
lie Of Colombia and resumed their

OF course, the theory which at
tempts to justify wrong with
another wrong, previously committed.
is neither honest nor effective. The
fact that other nations in the past
have welded imperialistic weapons Is
no excuse for present or future i'm
perialisns. On the contrary, every
new imperialistic adventure should
logically meet greater disapproval
than the one preceding it. for even
| the interna tional morale of mankind
is susceptible to progress, and each
time world public opinion is bound
TO be more and more enlightened
and, thus, more capable to recognize
! imperialism when it sees it.
The real moral of these recollec-
tions should be. precisely, to show
how far the United States has trsv-
eled on the road of international
ethics since the days of manifest
destiny" and Yankee imperialism"
The mere fact that the men in
trusted with the foreign relations Of
/ this country should be denouncing
today practices which their predeces-
sors in Office we're not reluctant to
use is the best evidence that the past
errors and abuses have been acknovl-
edged and repudiated The United
States of Franklin D. Roosevelt's
good neighbor policy is certainly
quite different from the United States
Of Theodore Roosevelt's big stick"
! Nevertheless. that did not prevent
the Toxic spokesmen from going back
few pages in the annals Of history
to find precedents in attempting to
justify their present acts The United
States seems to have discarded at
least for the time being, its old i'm
perialiStic complex, but there are
other nations, today, which are only
beginning to enter that apparently
unavoidable phase in the career Of

A FEW days ago at Geneva 1t
~ fell TO the lot OF the Mexican
~ delegate to the International
4 \ Labor Once to deliver the
speech welcoming the first
delegation of the United States to that
body, an offspring Of the League Of
Nations. The Mexican delegate, &C.
cording to cable reports, predicted that
the world would surely gain from
closer proximity with the United
States, for such proximity had al
ready aided Mexico in improving her
conditions"
The news must have provoked in
teresting recollections to students Of
international affairs. The picture is,
indeed, a changed one, from those ex-
citing days at the close of the World
War, when the President Of the United
States was busy on the other side of
the Atlantic helping the European
statesmen to create the League.
President Wilson had had a dificult
time trying to teach the Mexicans how
to govern themselves. to use his own
words, and was still embarrassed by
the consequences of his paternalistic
policies toward his restless neighbors
across the Rio Grande. Thus, when
the time came to draw up the list Of
the nations which were to be invited
TO become founder members of the
League, Mexico, out of difference for
President Wilson. If not at his own
suggestion, was sighted and no invi-
tation went to the revolutionary Mex
lean government.
1t was not until a few years ago,
and only when the Leagues Council
had apologized for the previous on1is-
sion and unanimously requested Mex
leo to join, that the Mexicans forgot
the incident and accepted the invita-
ton. That they have forgotten it
completely is shown by the fact that it
was Mexican who, the other day,
welcomed the United States into the
International Labor ONCE. the only
creation Of the League, though an in
dependent one. which the United
States has joined.
Politics Plays Tricks.
International politics does play such
tricks. In the same edition of the
metropolitan newspapers which re-
ported this one, there was evidence OF
another. A dispatch from Toxic stated
that the Japanese foreign Office had
rejected the protests of the United
States for the establishment of an oil
monopoly in Manchukuo on the ground
that such protests disregarded the
independence of Manchukuo.
Manchukuo Is an independent coun.

chases of her wool amounting to

based. Japan's export of woolen goods
increased 1873 per cent last year and
more factories are under construction

what she has done In cotton and

Japan has opened q legation in
Kabul, Afghanistan, and has made
