The plan to form an Irrigation dis trict out of the Tuinalu project, out lined in the petition for an election which is published in this Issuo of The Bulletin, is likely to be. the cause of considerable friction until ' the question is settled. Ever since it was proposed it has probably been the chief subject for discussion In every Tumalo home and already the pros and the antis must bo pretty well established In their respective camps. Formation of a district has been proposed as a means of obtaining more water for the project. Al though no more land was supposed to have been sold under the project than thnro was sufficient water for, It has developed, especially In the past season, that the new settlers and those at the end of the ditches, have not had enough water. If the leaks in the reservoir could be cured there would be enough for all and for . much new land. It seems hopeless to obtain any aid from the state for stopping these leaks and so (he set tlers would take things info their own hands through a district. Groundwork for the execution of such plan was laid at the last legisla ture by the passage of a bill authoriz ing the Desert Land Board to reduce the existing Hen on Tumalo lands to such amount as It saw fit, the idea being that If a district were formed and additional liens added on ac count of reservoir expenditures the state might waive enough of Its claim to leave the amount to be paid by each settler little or no greater than It now Is. As we see it the chief objection to the district idea Is likely to come from the older established water right holders who see nothing to gain from the plan. That, however, seems the part of pure selfishness unless they can also show that they actually have a good deal to lose. To the newer settlers who are short of water the plan means everything, as j It does, also, for the further develop-1 ment of the project., ; For these reasons It seems to us that the district plan should have the support of the .voters interested. If ail who have signed the petition are' In favor there should be no diffi culty and we trust that this may be aW" anem .vv.AA 1- I f Mz&k&h "VTOU nrc the cnnstiiwr; tlie most lin-- pur t .nit link in t!ic great iiuliistri.il in.

It Is. therefore, unthiukithle thitt any of the African or Australasian posses sions of Germany should be restored to her. nor is it conceivable that, the Allied Powers should return to the rule of the unspeakable Turk any of those regions which have been freed from Ottoman tyranny. -Not Iteiiily for Self-tioverntuentK The African colonies are, and for many years will be, Incapable of gov erning themselves. Such regions as Mesopotamia. Syria and Armenia ore ocupied by peoples unacenstomed to self-government, and incapable, at the present time, of being entrusted with complete political autonomy. While each of these countries was oc cupied by the army of one of the Al lied Powers, yet in a general sense, their possession was the result of the combined effort of the Allies, and no one power Is warranted In claiming the right, or should be chanted with the duty of continued occupation and sole responsibility for the govern 'ment of such regions. The suggestion of General Smuts was followed by the Peace Conference as affording a Just solution of a difficult problem. "Sacred Trust Ivillzntion." Article XXII of the revised Coven ant declares that there shall be ap plied to that problem: "the principle that the well be ing and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilization and that securities for the performance of this truat should be embodied in this cov enant." . ' It declares the best method of giv- ring practical effect to this principle to be that the tutelage of such peo ples be entrusted' to advance;, na tions, who by reason of their re sources, experience of geographical position, can best undertake this re sponsibility, and that the mandate under which, they should act must differ according to the stage of dev elopment of the people, the geograph ical situation of the territory, Its economic conditions, and other simi lar circumstances. In the case of communities funnel ly boltinging to tha Turkish Empire which have reached a stage of development where their existence as Independent nations can provisional be rocogiiliud subject to the general assistance ttitlous also as will secure equal op portunities for the trado and com merce of othor members of tho I.eu gue. These provisions should effec tively preclude the possibility of such sciuhIuIh as the history of the Congo and control of a, mandatary, it Is de-rStute affords clured that the wishes of those com munities should be the principal con sideration in the selection of a parti cular mandatary. Other peoples, es pecially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage of development that the mandatary must bu responsible for the administration of the terri tory, under conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion, subject only to the iniiln- liitcriuilliiiinl Ktciuinl-lilp. Othor territories, such as South west Afrieu and certain of the South Pacific Islands, which are continuous to organized nnd civilized powers of the character of the South African I'nion or tho Australasian Common wealth can, It is .Tinted out In the re vised Covenant, best be administered as integral portions of the territory of such adjacent nations, and under temince of public order and morals, j Its laws, subject to tho sufcuuurds the prohibition of abuses, such as the slave trade, the arms truffle and the liquor traffic, and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military training of the natives, except for their own police mid de fense purposes, and under such con- ubovo mentioned, and In the Inter ests of tho Indigenous population.
