GREAT BRITAIN ACCEPTS
SILESIAN DECISION
Allies Also Reported as in
Accord.

PARIS. Oct 14.--ireat Britain has ac-
cepted the Upper Silesian decision Of the
League OF Nations council, according to
the Havas Agency. 1t Is said also that
the Allies after an exchange of views
are In accord as to the procedure to be
adopted for carrying out the decision.
The opinion Is voiced In certain quar-
ters here that inasmuch as the Versailles
treaty provides only for the tracing of
the frontier. and is not concerned in the
administration of the two States after
the respective territories are defined, the
economic plan in the decision of the
league council cannot be legally imposed
on the interested parties. They will be
merely advised to come to an under
standing for the exploitation of the in
dustrial region; they are. 1t is held. per-
fectly free to adopt measures other than
those suggested by the league. (

by Thomas w. Lamont at the American
Chamber Of Commerce to-day.
Our American business men In

attempt to exploit Mexico. They must
have scrupulous regard for private and
for public rights. They must know at
all times just where they stand.
whatever form OF expression the
Mexican Government takes to manifest
its national attitude is not matter OF
so much Importance to American BUSH
ness men. provided that its declarations
are of a character absolutely clear and
explicit and capable Of only one inter-
probation by honorable men.
''If such should prove to be the case
then. indeed the clouds which already
can see breaking away on both sides
will be completely dissipated
Referring to his mission In Mexico,
Mr.. Lamont said it obviously would be
improper to discuss this subject at this
stage. Then he added:
IT am glad to testify that the MEM
bers Of the Mexican Government show
they have a realization OF the i'm
portance of these impending financial
matters, and that they have approached
our discussion with great courtesy and
in spirit of candor and good will. And
in turn, may be permitted to say that
the interests l represent are animated
with the liveliest desire to be OF genuine
service to Mexico. 1t is with this object
always in view that / have come from
New York in order. first, to make 1t
plain that the interests we represent
and those of this Government are, in
effect. identical, and, next. to offer to
President Obregon and his associates
such counsel and aid as we may pos
sess."
Mr.. Lamont prefaced his remarks
with reference to business conditions
In the United States. saying:
'In business way the United States
has seen the worst of its troubles. I
don't say we are all over them yet. but
we have been through the depths OF
the valley of despond and are now be-
ginning to creep up the slope again"
