Allies May Reply JOINTLY

London, April 11-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The situation which
Great Britain. France, Italy and
Japan must consider before replying
to the recent American note regard
ing mandates is without precedent
in diplomatic history, according to
official circles here today, and the
reply will be forthcoming only after
a consultation, and perhaps confer.
ences, of the allies.
The fact that an American pIeni-
potentiary to the peace conference
is signatory to the treaty of peace
and the American government re-
fuse to accept new Diplomats
problem which the allies must solve
and until there is an exchange of
views between the allies, official or
semi-ofticial. opinion regarding the
American note is not likely to he
available. 1t is possible the allies
may address a joint reply to the Uni.
ted States. or if they do not agree on
all points, individual replies may be
made. ~

All House committees were or

rnittees went over because Of q de-
sire of the Republicans to increase
their representation on the ten prin-
cipal committees. Republican SEN
ators will confer tomorrow before the
session to arrange the committee
schedule, with Democratic leaders
planning opposition and criticism.
Most of the House bills introduced
today were old measures which failed
during the last congress. A similar
situation tomorrow in the Senate was
expected. Among the measures to be
introduced tomorrow are Senator
Borah's proposal for naval disarm-
ament conference between the Unit
ed States, Great Britain and Japan.
Introduction by Senator Knox, Re-

we'll as the terms under which the
former German territories would be
administered. Secretary Colby, in
his communication Of last February
to the council of the League of Ma
lions on the zap mandate commended
that the American government
should be given opportunity to pass
upon the mandate forms before their
final adoption.
In view of the supposed tentative
character of the British reply to Mr..
Hughes. there was little disposition
IN official circles to comment regard
ing tn" attitude of that :. yernment.
The opinion has been advanced,
however, that Great Britain's atti
tude probably would be influenced in
great measure by whether Japan in
sisted upon the carrying out of the
terms of the treaty of London under
which Great Britain and France
agreed she should have the former
German islands north of the Eaua-
tor. This treaty was entered into
before the United States declared war
on Germany and at tie time when
Japan was asked to come more ac-
lively to the assistance of the Euro
pean allies in combating the German
submarine menace.

low the other people to have their
opinions and many secretaries are
prone to do the thinking for the di-
rectors and it is often the way with
Chamber of Commerce committees
and in turn the board of directors is
likely to do the thinking for the men,
bers, when what we want is for the
directors to think with the member
ship. It is also important that the
Chamber of Commerce should think
with the community. If the Cham
Der of Commerce is going to have the
leadership in the community that it
should fill, it will have to lay before
the community the problems viii,
confront it." He suggested the hold
ing of open forum meetings, that all
groups of citizens should have an OPP
portunity to voice their ideas.
In closing, Mr.. Donald said that
those who doubted the need of Cham
bers of Commerce, he would ask to
look back for 10 years and note the
advancement and transformation in
Chambers of Commerce and their ac-
tivities. That they now not only I'M
dertake to bring in new industries but
to help to expand those already here.
He said that Waterville should start
in the fourth year with a membership
of a round 400.

Oklahoma Scores
in Suit with Texas
Over Oil Lands

Washington, April 11.-Oklahoma
won in the supreme court today the
first big point in her suit with Texas
for Jurisdiction over valuable Red
river oil fields.
In an opinion which was unanimous,
except that Associate Justice Clarke
took no part. the court held that the
south bank of the Red river must be
taken as the true boundary between
Texas and Oklahoma from the south
eastern corner OF the latter state to
the point where the river crosses the
Tooth meridian of longitude. More
than 1000 miles of boundary were per-
manendy fixed by the decision.
The court based it's findings specifi-
cally on the terms of the treaty sign
ed in 1919 between the United States
and Spain, which "consummated the
Louisiana purchase" That document,
it held, affirming its own decision in
tho case of the United States VS.. Tex
as. set the south bank Of the river as
the true boundary.
Delineation of the exact location of
the south bank" was proposed until
the entering OIL the IOTmal ueCTeeS
which will be promulgated. it was
announced today, within the next 80
days. Until this decree is made pub
lie those interested will be little bet
ter off than before today's decision.
according to persons familiar with the
territory in dispute. as the river is ex-
tremely wide and shallow along prac-
tically it's entire length.
A new element was injected in the
case last Saturday when John M.
Taylor, claiming to represent certain
Indians, filed a petition for leave to in
tervene. He presented patent cover
ing much of the disputed territory said
to have been issued by President Van
Buren, to the Cherokees. Taylor ex-
planned today that he did not repre-
sent the Cherokee nation, but that
branch known as the Eastern Emil
grant Cherokees, an offshoot Of the
national body and including some 49,
600 members. Today's decision will not
affect the suit instituted by his prin-
cipals. Taylor insisted.
