It is opined that the great victory won by Woodrow Wilson, President of the U.S., in compelling Japan, Australia, and England to accept the mandatory system will be a Pyrrhic one if the duties and powers of the mandatory are not clearly defined. Wilson is shouldering tasks no other man has essayed. His defects and errors must be borne with and the world must be as patient as possible, particularly the U.S. and sorely tried France. The French may be right that it would have been better to decide Germany's fate at once and then settle down to a slow and careful creation of new world machinery. But Wilson is doing what seems best to him.
