and was made public today, following
its delivery to the British foreign of
flee early this week.
Ii is in reply to a British note o.
last Aug. Q, which has never beer
made public, and which deals with the
application of the principles of equal
ity of treatment 10 the territories OF
the Near East to be placed under Brit
ish mandate.
The American note takes Issue with
what is described as the British posi-
ton that mandate agreements and
treaties are 10 be considered only by
states that are members of The League
of Nations.
1t states that the United States, as
n participant in the World war and
n contributor TO It's successful issue,
cannot consider any of the associated
powers. the smallest not less than it,
self, debarred from the association of
its consequence, or from participation
der the mandates provided in the trea-
ties of peace"
Mr.. Colby says in his note that the
American government accepts he
statement Of The British government
that il has RETAINED from exploiting
the petroleum resources of the man
dated territories in question "and well
your pledges" that it is far from
the intention Of Great Britain To ''es-
tablish any kind OF monopoly or pre-
ferred proposition in its own interest"
II need hardly refer again." Mr..
Colby continues, ITO the fact that the
government of the United States has
consistently urged that il Is of utmost
Importance to the future peace of the
world that alien territory transferred
as n result of the war with the central
powers should be held and admins
tered in such a way as TO assure equal
treatment 10 the commerce and 10 the
citizens Of all nations.
Indeed. It was in reliance upon an
understanding 10 this effort and ex-
In contemplation thereof that
the United States was persuaded that
the acquisition under mandate of GER
tain enemy territory by the victorious
powers would be consistent with the
best interests of the world"
Referring to the statement by the
government that the draft man
dates for Mesopotamla and Palestine,
have been prepared, will, when
approved by the Interested allied pow
ers, be communicated to the council of
the League Of Nations, the American
secretary of state says:

tive.
II have, accordingly, asked General
Reed to send them and am requesting
the President to issue a proclamation
putting the county under military con
troll, allowing the Circuit Court, how
ever, To proceed with the trial Of Of
lenses heretofore committed.
Judge Bailey, Prosecuting Attorney

expressed the opinion that the troops
would be able to deal with the situa-
ton without putting the county un-
der military control. ! have not con
