UNITED STATES AND IRAK
NOTE TO BRITAIN " RIGHT TO BE CONSULTED " TRADE QUESTION INVOLVED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received November 6, C.35 p.m.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 5 The Government of the United States has forwarded a Note to Britain stating that it waives the right to be consulted about the special relations between Britain and Irak, but retains the right " to demand consultation in respect of the conditions under which Irak is to bo administered upon the cessation of tho mandatory relationship." The Note adds that the United States Government is of tho opinion " that in addition to most-favoured-nation treatment which, by virtue of the provisions of the tripartite convention of January 9, 1930, it will enjoy in Irak upon the termination of the special relations, it is also entitled to a voice in the determination of the conditions on which most-favoured-nation treatment is to be based. "Accordingly the United States Government desires to make full reservation of its position in this matter." Officials of tho State Department decline to discuss a report from London to the effect that the British Government denies the United States Government's claim that it has a right to be consulted.
