MANDATE QUESTION.
THE LEAGUE AND AMERICA. PARIS, Feb. 28. The League Council's reply to the United States regarding the Mesopotamia and Yap mandates will come before President Wilson two days before Mr Harding comes into oflice. The contents of the Note will be carefully guarded, but it is expected that America’.will be informed that the‘Mesopotamia nfimdate is not yet before the League; and concerning Yap the reply will be couched in most friendly terms, pointing out that Japan’s mandate %vas approved two months ago, and-calling attention to the difficulties in complying with tho United States’ request. 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 Mr Harding’s administration in a controversy with tho League. European statesmen hope that out of this may come a clearer understanding regarding America’s relations towards the League.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
