Manchester Guardian Dis
cusses Note Regarding
Mesopotamia Mandate.

Cross-Atlautic Cable Service to The Star.
LONDON, December british news
papers are commenting largely on
Secretary Colby's notes to Britain
questioning the validity of the agree
ment covered by the mandate over
the Mesopotamian oil fields.
The note raises the whole question
of the character and purpose of every
mandate and the conditions to which
every mandatory power Is bound to
conform" says the Manchester Guar
dian, the leading provincial news
paper. 1T is a fairly stringent docu-
icent, and also a fairly salutary one.
States government not raised these
questions before 1t might have been
we'll had it done 10. Every one Of
the powers which won the war. ana
which jointly were in control OF these
territories at its close. has the right
to demand an agreement, reached in
the treaty to which they were sigma
the league are the most vital parts,
shall be observed in all strictness and
honor.
'Unhappily, the United States is not
yet signatory to the treaty. though
it's President had a great share IN
drawing it up. But it is one OF the
great powers which won the war. and
the covenant which was it's Presf-
dents principal work.
'The position of the American
government would be CONSIDERABLY
stronger if America herself had been
willing to undertake the mandate.
However. we may be grateful to our
great partner in the war for recall
ing US, even if at a little late day, to
the pledge we gave and the trust we
undertook

OPTIMISM IN BUSINESS IS
SEEN BY FEDERAL RESERVE
Merchants Prepare to Sell Goods on
Smaller Margin of Profit.
Bank REPORTS.

Optimism ana confidence in the
basic soundncsS Of general condi-
tions is the keynote of the report Of
the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank,
issued yesterday. Merchants are no
longer talking Of restless conditions.
and n general air of security is now
prevalent everywhere, according to
the report.
Il, is hard to lay finger on def
rite developments which justify this
confidence" the report reads, land
numerous complaints still appear al
most daily i'll the press, but the facts
stand out clearly that both merchants
and manufacturers have almost en-
tirciy lost the tendency, so much in
evidence Il fcw weeks ago, TO predict
II general crash.
The merchants have caught their
breath after the scare in .ipril which
stampeded them into the price
cutting movement during MAY, and
are calmly making plans TO do bust
ness on smaller margin of profit
than has been the fashion in recent
years. Manufacturers are receiving
insufficient orders to keep them rum
ming steadily in many eases, but they
are viewing the situation without
panic, and appear confident that mcr-
chants Will return to the markets q
bit late in the year"
Further the report states that tho
increase granted the railroad work
crs may be ut the bottom Of the
optimistic feeling. Elimination Of the
possibilities OF strikes and ticups,
and the prospect OF better service
are Items adding to the general opti-
mistic feeling. The report states
that the belief is that the Increased
efficiency OF railroad service will
lessen tho cost of. living sufficiently
10 make up for the advance in rail
road rates which the public will be
compelled TO pay.
During the five weeks of July de-
poSitS in the cighty-two member banks
increased $l5.0S7000. the report
shows, and the disastrous" calling OF
loans predicted by member banks did
not matcrializc.
Toabcco prices thus far this year
have been better than those paid last
year. considering the grades Of to-
bacco offered for sale. but the report
states that the prices have not been
up to those of 1918.
Continued rain during the gather
ing and curing season has lowered
the general average OF tobacco being
to the farmers. Reports Indicate
that large companies are not buying
freely, most OF the takings being by
independents. who are apparently
HAVING trouble in financing their OPP
crations.
"On the whole. IL would appear
that South Cardinals crop would sell
at price better realized than last
year, grade for grade. but that the
average grade promises to be lower
than last years, perhaps about set
ting off the slightly higher prices
being paid"
