(ABIIRAMAN ■ KtV ZEAI,AM9 CAILE ASSOCIATION.) PARIS,-28th February.
The reply of the League of Nations' Council to the United States regarding the Mesopotamia and Yap mandates will come before President Wilson two days before Mr. Harding comes into office. The contents of the Note are carefully guarded,, but it is expected that America will be informed that the Mesopotamia mandate has not yet been before the League; and concerning Yap, the reply will be. couched in the most friendly terms, pointing out that Japan's mandate was approved two months ago, and calling attention to the difficulties cf complying with the United States' request. The tone of the Note will be such, however, as to imply an invitation to the United States to continue the discussion, which will involve the Harding I Administration in a controversy with the League. European statesmen hope that out of this may come a clearer understanding regarding America's relations towards the League. (Received March 2, 9 a.m.) PARIS, Ist March. The League of Nations' reply to the American protests against the mandates Is conciliatory, and foreshadows a solution, leaving Yap under the Japanese mandate, and giving America control over the international cable.
