FOR PANNING BY LEAGUE

GENEVA, Sept. S.--The council of
the League of Nations, the United
States, mandatory powers and coun-
tries that are continuing to arm. came
in for trenchant criticism in the first
days debate in the assembly of the
League OF Nations on the work done
by the council OF the league.
Hjalmar Branting of Sweden, ac-
cused the council and the secretariat
Of the league OF partiality and extrav-
agance. ord Robert Cecil, represent
ing South Africa, defended both the
council and the secretariat. Lord
Robert was very severe, however.
about the countries, which he said.
according to statistics, are spending
twenty per cent Of their energies on
armaments and at the same time COM
planning of economic instability, and
a bad trade situation. He blamed the
United States for the delay in the
adoption Of the "A and 'sB" mandates.
and introduced a resolution that these
terms be Immediately defined. Lord
Roberts address seemingly made 4
great impression on the members Of
the assembly.

Their Distribution Is Made Pos
sible Only Through Victory
Over Germany.
az The Associated nr.ssl

GENEVA, Sept. s.-That a president oil
the United States cannot alone under the
constitution bind his government on a
question OF mandates is brought briefly
in one Of the paragraphs Of the last
American note on mandates, copies OF
which are circulating among the dele
gates of the assembly of the league OF
nations here. The note is dated August
s, and is addressed to the French govern
naent.
Duplicates Of the document were COM
municated at the same time of its de-
livery to France to other mandatory pow
ers. The note treats of "A" and "B''
mandates. It expressly states that the
Island OF Yap belongs to another cate
CORY.
The note begins with restatemept of
the general American position on man
dates. Mandates respecting the former
German colonies, it says, were only made
possible by the victory Of the principal all
lied and associated powers, Of which the
United States was one.
The American government, although
the United States did not take part in
the war against Turkey, affirms the right
to have voice equal to that of any other
power in deciding the mandates over for
mer Turkish possessions, such as Syria.
Lebanon, Mesopotamia and Palestine, be-
cause the distribution Of these mandates
was made possible only through the VIC
tory over Germany, in which the United
States shared.
The note makes various suggestions OF
changes in the terms of the Turkish man
dates, some of them being that consular
tribunals. under capitlations from the
powers. shall remain in a force until the
governments are organized under man
dates and il the mandates are surren-
stored
freedom given TO religion also shall be
extended TO educational and charitable
organization workers. not only those in
the territories at present but those who
may go there in the future. The note in
opportunities for concessions and COM
merce not only for all citizens of nom
mandatory powers, but also the fullest
equality with the nationals of the man
datory powers, both OF "a" and 'tB''
mandates. The note stipulates that no
mandate shall be agreed to without the
approval of the American government and
that no mandate after its approval shall
be changed without the consent OF the
American government
It was requested in the note that
wherever in mandates it is mentioned
that equal rights are to be given to
members of the league Of nations a
phrase shall be substituted referring to
countries mentioned in annex two Of
the treaty Of Versailles, among which is
the United States.

Committee of British Cab

ULSTER SEEMS TO BE
THE STUMBLING BLOCK
MANY Difficulties Ahead Before
1inaI Settlement of the
Irish Tangle.
lsy The Assoelatsd Pressl

LONDON. Sept. S.--Premier Lloyd
Georges letter to Eamonn Devalera,
the Irish republican leader, which was
forwarded to Dublin after the meeting
i OF the British cabinet at Inverness
yesterday seems at last to insure that
Sim Fein pIenipotentiaries will meet
the special committee of cabinet min
listers at Inverness on September 20,
for the purpose Of clalring up any
ambiguity the Sim Fein leaders may
entertain about the six conditions the
British government stipulated as res
ervations in granting Ireland domin-
ion status.
The premiers' letter, like all his
communications since the Irish nego-
tiations began, is characterized by
punctiliious consideration for the Sim
Fein. While it suggests a date for the
proposed conference, it is in no sense
an ultimatum and sets no time limit
to the negotiations. In fact, it tends
to prove what has been maintained
throughout by those close to the pre-
mier. that he earnestly desires a set
tlement
wye have invited you to discuss our
proposals on their merits" says the
premier. and he adds that it will be
oD4n 20 the Irish leaders to raise the
subject Of guarantees on any particu-
Lar point.
The belief is almost universal to-
night that Mr.. DevaIera will accept
that what the premier offers is what
Mr.. DeValera desires, namely, an un-
trammeled conference, with the single
condition that Ireland remain in the
British empire. The guarantees which
Mr.. DeValera is supposed to have in
mind are memberships in the league
Of nations and the dominion confer
ence. and these it is believed, the gov
ernment would be willing to grant.
Assuming that the conference will
meet as suggested, there Is still the
question of Ulster, which it not
touched in the premier's letter. Mr..
Lloyd Georges original proposal was
for a tripartite conference, including
Ulster, but up to the present there is
no sign that Ulster has yielded in the
slightest in its determination to base
itself on the home rule act and the
northern parliament
A representative Of the government
in an interview at Inverness today
said that in the event of the confer
.ence failing, the government would
proceed with the homo rule act, which
by inference, may be interpreted to
mean that the government regards the
act in partial abeyance.
Even G1101I1d ho oo-<o-.
ence at Inverness surmount the initial
difficulties, there would stiH remain
in Ulster, on which Mr.. Deyalera
holds strong views. The question of
the desire of Fermanagh and Tyrone
TO be separated from the northern par
lament also is likely to be raised in
the conference, and this would bring a
bitter conflict with Ulster.
1t win thus be seen that there are
yet many difficulties ahead.

l wish | could say that this was true.
Though novels have been written since 1918,
sentimentally depicting a lackey marrying a
lady, and though these stories have been re-
celved by the reviewers and the public with
heavy acclaim, bearing out a democratic
ideal, and though am violently pro- British,
cannot see that the old established lines of
social demarkation have altered one Bit II

es would have had the chance of their lives.
But they not only clung to them tenaciouslv,
they created new titles and instead of grace
fully coming down the ladder of what is known
as social distinction, they leaned charitably
forward and helped many tea merchant and
linen draper and fifth-rate writer Up the worn
rungs, until now all titles are more or less of
a joke, and London is humorously called "the
city of dreadful knights"
All this is very curious to me. | can ac-
count for it only in one way, and that is
that there always has been, and always will
be, class which loves to fawn upon social
order slightly above its place in the world
and the strange psychology of those who de-

is not a thing for me to try to understand.

When fifth baronet, having learned moth
