When the commission met Herbert
L. Fisher of Great Britain told the
members that negotiations were at the
moment in progress between the chief
mandatory powers and the Washing
ton government
That it would, therefore, be inoppor-
tune for the commission to intervene
before the negotiations had been con-
cluded. The commission decided that
the result of the negotiations be await
ed.
Lord Robert, who is member of the
commission, dweIt during debate on
the question upon the advantages of
presenting an Interpretation of article
XXI of the covenant of the league OF
nations, which deals with the mandates
question in some form calculated to as
sure public opinion that the mandatory
powers were observing the spirit of the
covenant.
After discussion by other members
of the commission, including Viscount
Isshii Of Japan, Paul Hymans of Bel
gium, the Marquis Imperiali of Italy
and NJ. Reynald Of France it was de-
cided TO send letter TO the council
Of the league. upon which devolves
the duty OF defining the terms of the
mandates, expressing regret at the de-
lay.

be received since it is assumed that
careful consideration will be given the
proposed program and that an agree
ment will not be reached until there has
occurred a full interchange of opinion

the subjects suggested was that con
tanned in a Toxic press dispatch which
declared that in addition to the obvi-
Gus subjects of army and navy restrie-
tions, the United States communica-
tion proposed discussion of the open
door in China, respect for the SOW
ereignty of other nations territory, the
status of Manchuria and the Chinese
eastern railway, spheres of influence
and the general subject of mandates.
Official comment on the Toxic dis
patch was withheld but there was an
