LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AMERICA’S INVIDIOUS POSITION. Pr«*i Aawciatlon—By Telegripb—Copyright, • PARIS, February 28. 'Die reply of the Council of the League of Nations 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 is not yet before the League, and that concerning the Yap mandate 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 of complying with the report of the Unitfld States. 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 Administration in a controversy with the League, European statesmen hoping that out _ of this may come a clearer understanding regarding America’s relations towards the League.— A. and N.Z. Cable.
