AMERICAN MANDATORY
TO TURKEY FAVORED
But Great Britain and France Insist
That Matter Be Submitted
to Congress.

Paris, Thursday, May % by the As
ISOLATED Press Henry Mergenthau,
former American ambassador to Tur-
key, has submitted memorandum to
President Wilson concerning the propos-
al that the United States should become
mandatory for Constantinople, II is
understood that he favors the inclusion
of Constantnople, Anatolia and Arme-
MIA under one mandate, as being advan-
tageous for the administrative purposes
by combining large section of northern
Asia Minor under one central admins
tration.
The question of mandates for various
parts Of Turkey is before the council Of
four and has not been finally settled.
British and French sentiment is favor
able to the United States taking these
mandates but it is stated authoritatively
that acceptance must be conditioned on
the submission of the question to Con-
gress.
President Wilson's recommendation
relative to sccepting.a mandate for Con
stantinople will depend largely upon the
report of commission created to-day
for the investigation of conditions in
Syria Henry Churchill King, president
of 0berln college, and Charles r. Crane
will be the American representatives and
will have colleagues from other allied
and associated powers The commission
will leave Immediately to study condi-
tions IN Turkey Until its report has
been received it is not probable any ac-
ton will be taken concerning the super
vision of Constantinople.
