MANDATE SYSTEM
NO ALTERATION PROPOSED BRITAIN’S REPLY TO GERMANY (By Electric Telegraph-Oopy right) (Australian A N.Z. Cable Association) - (Received 4th February. 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, 3rd February. Herr Schnee and Dr. Stresemann have taken too much for granted, in their aF lusions to Tanganyika. The official attitude is, firstly, that. Britain has in noway suggested any East African scheme to involve the violation of rights under which the mandate is held; and sepOnd r , ly, if Herr Schnee had read the Commission’s terms of reference he would;. have found that they merely concern . similar domestic supervision within the mandated territories to the adjacent colonies. There is no suggestion of the British introducing sovereignty into mandates. The Mandates Commission has full right to question whatever happens within mandates, likewise any. action contemplated therein. The British attitude is that she definitely does not propose an alteration of the mandate sysr tem, and therefore there is nothing for the German Government to suppose.
