Note on Mandates Sent
to League Council
Is Testy
OUTLINES NEW POLICIES
Claims Right to Share
In Mandates Over
Turkey
OBy Associated Press.l

Geneva, Sept. 8-That a president
of the United States cannot, alone,
under the constitution, bind his gov
ernment on a question of mandates,
is brought out briefly in one of the
paragraphs of the last American
note on mandates, copies of which
are circulating among the delegate;
of the assembly of the league of ma
tions here. The note is dated Au-
gust 8 and is addressed to the French
government.
Duplicates of the document were
communicated at the same time of
its delivery to France t. othe other
mandatory powers. The note treats
of A and B mandates. 1t expressly
states that the Island of Yap belongs
in another category.
The note begins with restatement
of the general American position on
mandates. Mandates respecting the
former German colonies, it says,
were only made possible by the vic
tory of the principal allied and as
sociated powers, of which the Unit
ed States was one.
The American government, al
though the United States did not
take part in the war against Turkey,
affirms the right to have a voice
equal to that of any other power in
deciding the mandates over former
Turkish possessions, such as Syria,
lebanon, Mesopotamia and Pales-
tine, because the distribution of these
mandates was made possible only
through the victory over Germany in
which the United States shared.
The note makes various sugges-
tionS of changes in the terms of the
Turkish mandate, some of them be-
ing that consular tribunals under
capitulations from the powers shall
remain in force until the govern
ments are organized under mandates
and that if the mandates are surren-
dered the consular tribunals shall be
restored.

Sim FE|N WILL SEND
PLENIPOTENI IIARIES TO
CONFER WITH CABINET
Strategic Move of Mr..
Lloyd George Keeps
Peace in Family
By Associated Tress.j

London, Sept. S-Premlef LloyI
Georges letter to Eamon DeValera
which was forwarded to Dublin after
the meeting of the British cabinet at
Inverness yesterday, seems at last
to insure Sim Fein plenipotentiaries
will meet the special committee of
cabinet ministers on September 20
for the purpose of clearing up any
ambiguity the Sim Fein leaders may
entertain about the six conditions
the British government stipulated as
reservations in granting Ireland d
dominion status.
The Premier's letter, like all his
communications since the Irish nego-
tiations began, is characterized by
punctilious consideration for the Sim
Fein. While it suggests 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 main
tanned throughout by those close to
the premier that he earnestly de
sires a settlement.
Wants No misunderstanding
Owe have invited you to discuss
our proposals on their merits" says
the premier, and he adds, that it
will be open to the Irish leaders to
raise the subpect of guarantees on
any particular point.
The belief is almost universal to-
night that Mr.. DeNalera will accept
that what the premier offers is
what Mr.. DeValera desires, namely,
an untrammeied conference with the
single condition that Ireland remain
in the British empire. The guaran-
tees which Mr.. DeValera is supposed
to have in mind are membership in
the league of nations and the domin-
ion conference and these it is believ-
ed the government would be willing
to grant.

OVER ZOO ARE PRESENT
Stirring Talks on the
Spirit and Purposes
of KiWanis

Headed by President A. Y. Milan,
eighty members of the Jacksonville
Kiwanis Club, and accompanied by
fifteen members of the Daytona
Club, headed by President 7. f. Fitz-
gerald, came here last night to for
mally present the charter to the Pa
latka Kiwanis Club, totaling char
ter membership of sixty members.
The visiting Kiwanians arrived at
8 o'clock on the Clyde line steamer
City of Jacksonville. Long before
they docked they could be heard sing
ing to the accompaniment of jazz
orchestra and when they walked
down the gang plank they were greet
ed by local Kiwanians and escorted
to the Elks club where the exercises
of the evening took place.
More than 200 Kiwanians and their
wives or sweethearts, were seated
around the tables on the spacious
veranda at the club, when President
Milan, of the Jacksonville club, rap
ped for order and asked all to Join in
singing america" Following this
DIR. j. E. McNair delivered the invo-
cation and the more material pleas
ures of the evening began immedi-
ately. A delicious luncheon of fruit
cocktail, olives, salted nuts, mashed
potatoes, potato salad, chicken salad,
sliced tongue, hot rolls, ice cream,
cake, coffee, cigars and cigarettes
was enjoyed before Miss Gladys
Register rendered a vocal solo and
an encore.
President Milan presided until
the charter was formally turned over
to President Hilburn, of the Palatka
club, and his preliminary talk ex-
planned the meaning of Kiwanis, as
did Frank Holt, of the Jacksonville
club Mr.. Milan said that there are
now 900 Kiwanis clubs in the United
States and Canada with a member
ship of 10000 and that up to this
time not one club has forefited its
charter. He said that Kiwanis con-
siders~ civic, state and national mat
ters and has for its watchword eve
Build Building, he explained, was
not merely the material construction
of things, nor merely the building of
character within the Kiwanis club,
but the building of character and
right living in all citizens, and with
an ever uppermost desire to assist in
all laudable and beneficial undertak-
ings, no matter where it originated
Mr.. Holt spoke more specifically
on the principals of Kiwanis, and en-
phasized that special care should be
taken in selecting members as it is
often the case that man who could
not be benefited in Kiwanis could be
reached much more easily outside of
its ranks.
In accepting the charter President
Hilburn pledged the Palatka club to
do everything in its power to carry
out the purposes of the organization
and to be factor in all that Kiwan-
is proposes to do in any community.
He made stirring talk that was
loudly applauded. He was followed
by a song by the Jacksonville club
quartette, after which Col. Hilburn
introduced W. P. Dineen, of the Pa
latka club.
