COMMONS DEBATES
AWARD OF MOSUL
Laborites, Liberals anc
Others Hostile to Govern
ment's Position.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. December 21.--The House
of Commons today was debating the
Mosul question on a government mo-
ton asking the House to approve
the action of the British delegates
at Geneva in accepting the League
Of Nations award In the dispute be-
tween Turkey and Great Britain. This
motion takes the place of proposed
opposition motion condemning the
action.
The government has to combat a
good deal of hostility from the La
borites, Liberals and some of It's own
followers According to some parlia-
mentary followers. If all the minis
terialists who disapprove of the Brit
ish commitment In Irak voted re-
gardless of party affiliations it would
be doubtful whether the government
could pull through. but it is not sug.
gested that the cabinet Is In any
real danger of defeat.
Laborites to Protest.
John r. Clynes, Laborite, speaking
In the House of Commons, stated that
he would ask his party to leave the
house when the governments motion
regarding Mosul was reached.
This was in protest against the gov
ernment's procedure in proposing a
motion asking for approval Of its
Mosul policy just as Parliament was
adtourning for the holidays, thus CIV
Ing the opposition no chance to con-
slider whether an amendment should
be proposed.
Former Undersecretary for Foreign
Affairs Cecil Harmsworth Is of the
opinion that it would be madness for
Great Britain to take upon her Shout
ders for o5 years the Mosul mandate
or the risk of passive or active an.
tagonism between Great Britain and
"a formidable military power" when
any moment might bring an incident
with the menace of war.
Dangerous Prospect.
Mr.. Harmsworth was In the foreign
office at the time the mandates for
Mesopotamia and Palestine were Gre
ated. He urges the British govern
ment to retreat from what he terms
its dangerous position. In my con-
sidered Judgment" he says, the ar.
ranGements just concluded the giving
of the mandate to Great Britain by
the council of the League of Nations
open up the most dangerous prospect
that has confronted this country since
the great war"
Mr.. Harmsworth argues that friend
ly working agreement between Great
Britain and Turkey would exceed in
value TO Mesopotamia more than any
boundary, strategic or otherwise. In
depreCating the idea that Turkey in the
stand may be bluffing, he recalls how
often such an idea has led to war
and appeals to the government to re-
turn to its policy of quitting Meso.
