'The Independent for November says
that the gieat war has givtn an hu
ll lus to so iahani such ao no ons
could have believed possible two yetrJ
ago. By the socialist party's undmeh
.'.g support of ln.emationai peace, of
democracy in ull its terms, and of th«
fights o' women ai.d children und in
deed of ah who are oppressed it has
commanded great admiration. This
" cckly says that our country need
more, not less, genuine socialism.
President Wilson's speech before
the senate in favor of a league 01
rations to enforce peace in the world
wnot original. He merely appear
ed as an advocate, and he is extreme
ly able along these lines, of a plan
that had already been worked out in
ct Dsiderable detail. This movement
bigun in Ftnlauelphia on June 17, 1915,
when a amull buna of eainest Am
ei ‘cans met in Independence hull. They
then formulated a plan which has
biuce been expanded and strengthened.
For a number of months the president
hud been openly in favor of the plan
but he look the method of speaking
bnore tlie senate to tocus the atten
tion of the whole country and of other
comities on tne proposal at the mo
ment in the peace negotiations that
he thought to be psychological. The
hoods of other nations hud already
■token their approval of the league.
Pi timer Asquith of Great Britain,
the foreign minister of France, snd
Chancellor von Belhman-liollweg of
Germany had announced that their
nations would be ready to join such
a league. But this league to enforce
world peace should not be confounded
wi'h the society for Judicial settle
ment of Inieiantional disputes and a
score or more of other similar sr>cie
t (s that have been formed more or
.ess around the Idea of the Hague
uibunal. These aie mostly visionary
c outlook und hope to bring about a
settlement of diBpu.es chieuy by arbi
tration. The Fugue to eniorce peace
is frankly based on force and the
Idea is much the same as our police
s) stem in cities. All citizens are
uiged to obey the laws. If they do not
thev are summon'd to court to be
punished. They may go quietly to
Cou.t when the warrant is read. But
If they should resist, or become vio
lin ' ui any time, there Is a force al
ways superior to theirs ready to dem
onstrate to them the futility of re
sFlsnce. The idea us applied to na
tions seems good. Great minds have
pinrounced it so and possibly in time

It may become a working principle
in international affairs.
The Mexicans are a difficult people
to deal with. Kucially they are a
compound of Spanish and Indian
br( eds, and they combine in their na
luies the pride of the Spaniard with
the s.ubbornnet.3 of the Indian. They
will not accept help from u» or any
otver nail one Although not a hi* to
oa'ch Villa thenxsel.es they do not
wrnt our troops to do It for them.
They refuse to let us protect and open
tii’. mines; nor will they allow our
suigevus 10 assist in stamping cut
uvu. our aid In determining the
ccntroversy between church ami state
is refused. Nor uo they cue for our
lii'ias about the es.ubhshinent of a
syrtem of popular education. They
are, in short, a .stubborn, proud, ig
netunt, and incapable people. They
are unlit for self government and
Pioiiro Diaa well knew it when he
made himself virtual dictator and
perpetuated himself in office so long
as his powers remained i|ndimmed.
Trt-v nale us as u people just as the
nrr.nrsat and impoverished always
hale ene euuca.ed and successful.
There seems no peaceable way to
win their coniidence. Intervention,
and occupation of their country for
fcur or live years might convince them
of our good intentions just as the
Cubans and Fillipiinos were convinc
ed. But unless something new arises
• * would set m to be loo late now for
in'ervention. We have dallied loo
lot g- Apparently Mr. Wilson has now
determined to let them settle their
own troubles amongst themselves. He
has made a miserable boich of the
matter from the moment he llrst took
a bond in the game. Mexico is worse
off now than when lluirta was at the
helm for he was the one man who
sc lined to possess the qualities n». d
ed for their ruler. By ousting him
for a personal, moral scruple which
was not felt by the heads of other
gnat nations our president plunged
Mexico into a miserable state of
anarchy which hus lasted for three
yet rs and may continue for a long
litre to come. Our own country has
been humiluted. Our soldiers and
civilians have been killed and insulted,
our bill for Wilson's blundering has
ion into the hundred* of millions of
debars and we have no feeling Of cer
tainty that the account is yet squared,
in i 11 probability if Mr. Wilson had
the thing to do over again he would
leave Huerta in control regardless of
whether he had caused a murder to
two to attain his ends. Mr. Wilson’s
p< I'cy In Mexico has resulted In a
■octf many more than one or live
lot i’uers. x nere are many deaths di
rectly attributable to his pedogoglcal
meddling on high grounds of con
si ‘cnee. And now that he has chang
d his mind again and is yieldfing to
the Mexican demand by withdrawing
Pershing's forces we can ouly hope
that Carranza will be able to estab
lish order and a Him government. VVe
aln uld try to forget this humiliating
chapter in our national life. Hut
while wo arc trying to forget wo may
uIfo expect another change in Mr.
V. '(sen’s policy. The chances are
that Pershing will no sooner bo out
tl.au bs will b« sent in again.
