JAPAN BALKS AT MANDATES
objects to Conditions Disposins OF
Colonies In Pacific

Paris. Dec. 24.-(By A. P.)--The
question of mandates was taken up
today by the supreme council, which
considered the drafts that had been
prepared and adopted. two giving man
dates in Africa to Great Britain and
Belgium. Final action on five others
was postponed on the request of the
japanese delegate. Baron Matsui.
Baron Matsui found that the man
dates for the pacific colonies gave
Japan fewer advantages than she
had enjoyed in those colonies under
the German rule, it was stated. Three
of the four voting delegates in the coun-
ell approved the drafts, but Baron
Matsui reserved the appreciation of
Japan and asked for time to refer the
question to his government.
The details to which the japanese
representative objected were not disclos
ed, but it is assumed here that the ques-
ton of the migration of japanese to the
colonies which would come under the
mandate of Australia was involved, as
we'll ms the economic advantages the
Japanese formerly enjoyed under the
most favored nation clause.
