KcKurdleKK of the other reat ques " lions that have como beforo finiresH williiti the past few days a movement ! wan started yesterday to review the - eonditicns in Mexico. If the invest i : Ration eumen to a head, and the con 't ditionn ni plainly proven to be what i they are bei'eved to be, the result will b? a renewal of the old demand for in tervention. It may prove necessary lo intervene beforo Ion jr. Many Americans; have never ceuHcd lo think that audi action would have to be taken sooner or later. If it is inevitable, perhaps it niie;ht as well bo done while the Unitet' Ktatcft has the men, kum.h, ammuni tion, airplanes and transportation fa cilities to do ft. Such military collis ions an would be entailed would then Reem little more than a tapering off from the German war. Clearly enough tho United States is in better posit 'on to clean up and straighten out Mexico How than it has been since the begin ning of tho recent, revolutionary period; One fact, however, needs, to be, rec ogni;:ed frankly in considering this problem. If tho American people go into Mexico, they thereby assume a "mandate'' for Mexico. Jf the peace treaty is signed and the league of na tions is established before such action is taken, the mandatory nature of the interveiit'en will be formally recog nized by the league. If not, it will he informal, but none the less binding The United Stntes will net, in Mexico, as the trustee of civilizatiuii, just as it has acted in Cuba when occasion re quired. Little to Be Feared From the ,0ut3ide. Years ago a popular question for debate in the rural eunuuunities was the one: ''From which has our country the greatest cause to fear, externiil foes or internal dissentions?" In the fwens'e battles of the old days it was difficult to extract much aigunnmt. on either hide of the question. Tho conditions have suneuhul changed. While the Observer dues not. assume the role of an alarmi.it, it is the belief that fear from the out-, nido is practically eliminated, and the' next IVw months is to show the cap-; ability of this republic in the handling' oi domes! ic questions.
