MANDATE NOTE
Earl Curzon, British Cabinet
Officer, Subjects Document
to Careful Study.
REPLY TO BE FORMULATED
Allied Governments Resolved That

LONDON, England, April 14.-Earl
Curzon. secretary of state for foreign
affairs. is engaged in a careful study
of the note of the American govern
ment concerning mandates. In the
first instance the British government
will decide upon it's reply. Then it
Will confer with the governments
Of the allies, because the note is ad-
dressed to Britain, France, Italy and
Japan. Meanwhile. nothing can be
said as to the position the allies will
finally take.
Will Avoid Friction.
The British government and appar-
emily the governments of all it's asso-
ciateS are resolved that no friction
shall arise in this matter if it can
be avoided. Earl Curzon. himself will
act as the mediatory influence He
earnestly desires to settle the Yap
controversy without impairment Of
good relations with Japan and the
United States.
Americans who wish to understand
the action of the European govern
ments since the withdrawal of the
Gil should give some attention to the
European constitutional practice
touching treaties. While the Ameri-
can Senate has killed many proposed
treaties, there are few, if any. exam
pies of the British executive. for in
stance. being overruled in a similar
manner.
New View Obtained.
Most Britons, therefore. assumed
that President Wilson's signature as
plenipotentiary meant that the Unit
ed States would back him up Strange
to say, even some of the first states
men in Britain took a like casual
view. Everybody is now discovering
that President Wilson had no pow er
whatever to commit the United States
and that the Harding administration
inends to keep strictly to traditional
American constitutional methods
Even Britons-at- least many of them
prefer the American way in these
things. Lord Bryce and Baron Isling-
ton have condemned the practice of
national commitments without parlia-
mentary sanction.

|CAR MERGER BILL +.

Would Induce Voluntary Com.

FAILED LAST CONGRESS
Measure to Regulate Practice Of
0steopathy Here Again Brought
Up by Representative Smith. f,

Representative James L. Woods OF
Virginia. democrat, reintroduced yes
terday his bill. which failed of con-
sderation in the last Congress. de-
signed to induce a voluntary Slerger
of the street car companies in WASH
ington by removing the prohibition
placed by Congress against the con-
Solidation of the Potomac Electric
Power Company with the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
The House District committee, by a
vote of 13 to i against the then chair
man. Representative Mapes of Michi-
san,-ordered this bill reported in the
last session, on the ground that it
would place the two street car COM
panies on more nearly equal grounds
to negotiate a voluntary merger. By
the same vote the committee i'm
structed a subcommittee TO draft a
bill designed to force merger il the
companies did not take such action
voluntarily.
Method Of COmpuIsiOn.
Compulsion would be exercised
through heavy excess profits tax
upon the more successful corporation
the Capital Traction Company-al-
though the terms of the bill would
apply equally TO any street car COM
pany which might happen to be maxi
ing big profits. The latter measure
has been introduced in the Senate.
Another District bill which failed in
the last Congress was reintroduced
yesterday by Representative Smith Of
Idaho. 1t proposes to regulate the

The measure would create a board OF

ticing oSteopathistS.

LAX DRY AGENTS
F[AYED BY LEAGUE
National Civil Service Reform
/, Association Charges
s.. Criminal Records.
CIVIL SERVICE ADVOCATED
Issue Taken With Anti-Saloon Or
Observation-Disclosures and Vet
. eran Preference Reported On.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, April 14.-Activities
of the National Civil Service Reform
League in combating appointment OF
'1oose and inefficient" prohibition en-
forcement agents are reviewed in the
report Of the council of the league read
At the annual meeting here today.
Reiterating charges that the en-
forcement personnel includes many
dishonest men and women. some with
criminal records, the report urges
support of bill before Congress re-
quiring that all dry agents be placed
subjected to the customary examina-
tions. 1t also takes sharp issue with
provisions in the measure insisted
upon by the Anti-Saloon League
which would permit appointment of
persons without previous experience
in criminal investigation.
Civil Service Urgent.
The anti-saloon organization. the
report alleges. prefers to let these
places continue as political spoils
rather than agree to the normal meth
cd Of providing for their competitive
classification under the civil service
law" Until the latter method is un-
dertaken. 1t continues. the enforce
ment o 1the prOnlDltlOn law Will not
be freed from the odium in which it
is now held.
The leagues long opposition to the
system of appointing postmasters
(which retains in Office permanently.
or until removed on charges, purely
political appointees." is set forth in
the report. which proposes an open
competitive examination for such in
cumbents in order to continue in
office. These views, the report as
serts. have been concurred in by the
President and Attorney General.
Veteran Preference Unfair.
Commenting on the federal civil
service provision giving absolute
preference to soldiers and sailors and
widows Of former service men, the
report asserts:
LAS time goes on the manifest un-
fairness Of veteran preference is be-
coming more and more apparent to
the members of Congress. The ef-
fects in the efficiency of the service
will be carefully noted by the league
and the evidence secured will be
placed before the appropriate COM
mittees of Congress. with the request
that this vicious legislation be re-
pealed."
