BRITAIN'S MANDATES.
THE FULLEST INFORMATION, REPORTS TO BE PRESENTED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Kecd. 7.5 p.m.) LONDON. Deo. 14. In the Hous'. of Commons, Captain W. Wedgwood Benn (Liberal) Criticised Sir Austen Chamberlain, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, for his vigorous onslaught on the questionnaire of the Mandates Commission. Sir W. Ormsby Gore, replying for Sir Austen Chamberlain, said it was essential, if the Mandate's Commission required the fullest information as to what was going on in the mandated territories, that the questionnairo should be immensely improved, other wis. there was danger that the reports, instead of truly picturing the life of the mandated communities, might be lost in a mass of meticulous detail. He added that the British Government never refused information and intended to fulfil the duty ot presenting reports each year and to co-operate in every way with the commission. The matter was dropped.
