views Of President Harding and his
administration advisers, opened his at
tack az soon as the Senate began work
on the Borah proposal, which is in the
form Of an amendment to the annual

counted the difficulties of further ar
mament limitation encountered at the
Washington arms conference a year
ago and declared that in view Of the
attitude taken by other powers it
would be useless to attempt to limit
land armament unless it was estab-
iished Der rehand that France had
changed her position.

FLAT REFUSAL
BY BRITISH
To Abandon the Mosul Oil
Region, AS Asked BY
Turks
NO CONSIDERATION
WILL ALTER PLAN
Lord Curzon Made Reply
at the Lausanne Con-
ference

Lausanne, Dec. 27, tBy the Asso-
eiated Pressl Through Foreign Secre-
tary Cprzon, Great Britain informed
Turkey to day that the British win
never abandon the Mosul oil vilayet, as
requested by the Turkish delegation,
and that no prolongation of the Near
East conference can influence the
British government to recede from the
position it has taken on this matter.
Lord Curzon added that Great
Britain had given her solemn pledge
to let no foreign power take any part
of this territory and that she would
steadfastly adhere to her promise
The foreign secretary said. however,
that Great Britain was prepared to
have her experts met the Turkish ex-
perts to define the northern boundary
of the Irak.
The British delegations formal
reply to the Ottoman note questions
the reliability of the statistics put
forth by the Turks to justify their
claim to McSul. Although the Turks
ruled this district for centuries, they
never collected exact information, it
was pointed out, and no confidence
could be placed in their statistics.
The Britis3 note concludes:
"The British government reiterates
its refusal even to contemplate the
surrender of the Mosul viiayet and is
unable to see any advantage which can
result from further argument"

INQUIRY ORDERED
WITHOUT COMPLAINT
----------
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Acts on It's Own
Initiative

Washington, D. G. Dec. 27,-An in
vestigation to determine whether
adequate stocks of locomotives and
cars are in possession of American
railroads and whether railroad customs
and practices controlling use and inter-
change Of equipment are sufficient was
ordered to day by the interstate com
merce commission, which said it was
acting without complaint and on it's
own initiative.
As preliminary step in the inquiry,
the commission has ordered question
naire sent to all railroads requiring
them to report the number Of freight
cars owned and leased, the number Of
additional cars estimated to be needed
in their service and the age of their
present car equipment. Similar facts
are sought as to the locomotives in
service.
In addition, reports are required
from the roads as to the extent Of car
which they encountered in
operation last fall and as to the
amount Of traffic which they move.
Private car lines also were asked to
furnish similar facts.
The investigation is understood to
be an outgrowth of the general car
shortage which existed during Novem-
