LONDON. April 7-American con-
tentions for equality OF treatment
Tor the citizens of all nations in

British Government TO be scarcely
consistent" with the attitude OF the
United States toward American oil
interests in Mexico. The British
view is expressed in a reply TO Sec
retary Colby's note Of November 20,
which was made public here.
The note signed by Lord Curzon,
Secretary of State for Foreign AZ
fairs. answered Mr. Colby's excep-
tions 20 the San Reno agreement
between Great Britain and France
relating 20 petroleum resources in
Mesopotamia. That agreement,
Lord Curzon said. was not fully un-
derstood, II appeared. adding that Il
"almed at no monopoly or exclusive

The Mesopotamian agreement was

Standard oil Company "are no
stronger than these British rights,

Request OF the American Govern
.ment that British rights thus ac-
quired be disregarded. Lord Curzon
added. was scarcely consistent"
with the attitude adopted by the
United States in regard to similar
United States interests in oil prop
critics in Mexico"
The British note expresses agree
ment with the American argument
that the worlds oil resources should
be open for development without
reference 10 nationality but notes
that an act OF the Philippine Legis-
lature in 1920 reserves development
Of public mineral lands there TO cit
