SENDS NOTE
To ENGLAND

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 26.-
Firmly, but politely, America has in
formed Great Britain that it does not
propose to be excluded from particl-
patton in the privileges and rights
secured under mandates provided in
he treaties of peace. Furthermore,
t expected to be heard regarding the
terms of those mandates before they
are put into force.
The position of the United States is
set forth in a note by Secretary Colby
to Earl Curzon, the British Secretary
# State for Foreign Affairs, made
public tonight. The specific question
discussed is that of the Mespotamian
petroleum fields.
Colby says in his note that the Am.
o~ican Government accepts the state,
ment Of the British Government that
t has refrained from exploiting the
petroleum resources of the mandated
territories in question and welcomes
your pledges" that it is far from the
intention of Great Britain to "estab,
lish any kind Of monopoly or prefer
red proposition in its own interest"

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-08-27

1919 Is fixed as the boundary, Mr..
Taylor said, the question OF fixing the
old bank of the stream will increase
the magnitude of the suit, which viii
then resolve itself into a series OF
tangles with masses OF evidence to
support claims and counter claims at
numerous points along the river.
Boundary Disputed Long.
The boundary between the two
states has been disputed practically
ever since the land was worth claim
ing. While Oklahoma was a territory
the United States entered suit and re-
covered Greer county from Texas on
the grounds that the south branch Of
the river. instead OF the north branch
was the boundary and that all the land
in the forks of the river belonged to
Oklahoma. But the dispute between
the two states was held to local pro-
portion until the discovery OF oil on
the Texas side in Wichita county.
Then in November, 1919, Oklahoma
claimed lands between the bluff and
the edge Of the river on the Texas
side under the allegation that the
river had shifted from the bluffs north
ward since the treaty was signed, and
from this suit grew the one involving
the whole boundary.
Practically all the land involved Is
held under the titles issued by either
Texas or Oklahoma. If jurisdiction
over lands is changed, these titles will
become void, it is said, and the proper
ty subject to resale by the state &C
curing 1t, unless provisions are made
to the contrary in the settlement of the
suit.
The first hearing Of this case before
the Supreme Court is set for Nov. is,
when the question Of whether the de-
cision in the Green county case shall
apply in this suit will be submitted.

MILLIONS IN THE OIL
LANDS ARE MIXED IN
!. STATE CONTROVERSY
(By Associated Pre.s)

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 27.-One of the
greatest legal struggles the United
States has ever known will develop
from the Oklahoma boundary
suit now pending in the United States
Supreme Court. according to G. w.
Taylor, Texas assistant attorney gen.
eral. The United States, Oklahoma
and Texas claim Jurisdiction over the
lands involved.
None of the factions in the three
cornered fight is advancing claims for
definite bodies OF land this early In the
struggle. In general way Oklahoma
claims that the south bank of the Red
river as IT. flowed in 1919 when the
treaty between Spain and the United
States fixed the boundary between
their respective holdings is the line.
The United States supports the Okla
homa contention where Indian lands
are involved and claims jurisdiction
over these lands. Texas contends that
the center OF the present river bed Is
the boundary.
These conflicting claims leave the
title to a strip of land along the
meandering of. the river for at least
800 miles in doubt. Only the length
Of the strip is definitely set out in the
claims. Its width varies from few
feet to several miles.
Texas Asks Rivers Middle.
Texas will first contend for the
middle of the river as the boundary.
Mr.. Taylor said, and II it loses this
fight. will claim the ordinary high
water mark of the present river as the
south bank. Every foot of the land
south of the high water mark OF the
river will be contested.
II Oklahoma's claim that the river
has shifted north In places since the
i treaty was signed is allowed. he COD
ltinued. Texas Will ask that Oklahoma
I be required to prove every shift OF the
river which allows encroachment upon
soil now held by Texas.
In rebuttal, he added, 1t is possible
that Texas will attempt to prove that
the river bed has shifted south in
places, and thus placed Texas land or
the Oklahoma side. Oklahoma hat
designated only one or two points
where 1t is alleged the river has
shifted north.
