BRITISH MANDATES.
AMERICA SEEKING TRADE FACILITIES. DRAFT CONVENTIONS. Washington, Nov. 15. The State Department has sent the British Government for its consideration a draft of two conventions giving the United States full equality of commercial opportunities in former German territories mandated by Britain and the dominions. The draft is in line with the Yap Treaty of 1921 between the United States and Japan. The territories include Nauru Island and former German possessions in the Pacific south of the equator, Western Samoa, and South African protectorate. While no reply has been received, it is believed here that the conventions will be approved as soon as British officials have had an opportunity to study them.—(A. and N.Z.)
