pose to be excluded from participation
in the rights and privileges secured

be heard regarding the terms of these

The position of the United States
is set forth In note by Secretary Coz
by to Earl CurzOn, British secretary
of state for foreign affairs, and the
specific question disclosed is that Of
the MesOpOtamian petroleum fields.

note of August last, which has never

with the application Of principles of
equality of treatment to the terri
tories of the Near East to be placed
under British mandate.
The American note takes issue with
what is described as the British posi-
ton that mandate agreements and
treaties are to be considered only by
states which are members Of the league
OF nations. 1t states that the United
States, as a participant in the world

sion Of any of its consequences, or
