U. S. Studying Pact
British and French
Syrian Desert Mandate

Washington, Feb. 20.-fBy the AS
sociated Press) The complete text
of the Franco-British convention by
which the Syrian desert is transferred
from a French to British mandate
was received today in official circles
here and is expected to engage the
close attention of officials of the state
department in connection with the
general study of the allied mandates
with which the American government
for some time has been concerned.
The pact as concluded between the
French and the British governments
in Paris Dec. IS contains provisions
for the complete settlement of the
problems raised by the attribution to
Great Britain of the mandates for Pal
estine and Mesopotamia. and by the
attribution to France of the mandate
over Syria and the Lebanon. all three
conferred by the supreme council at
San Reno"
The two phases of the treaty which
have engaged the particular attention
of American officials are: The estab-
lished for the first time of the prece-
dent of a transfer of mandate terri
tory from one power to another by
mutual agreement without reference to
the League of Nations, and the ac-
'uisition by Great Britain of her long
cherished dream of an ALL rail route
from the Mediterranean to India
through territory under her exclusive
political or military control.
In the settlement ofthe boundaries
of the mandate territories the south
ern portion of Syria, bordering upon
Palestine, previously allotted to France
by the League of Nations, is trans
ferred to Great Britain and specific
provision is made for the construc-
ton of British railway line linking
Palestine with the Mesopotamian rail-
way system through the Syrian desert.
