Fethi Bey claimed that the whole villayet of Mosul rightfully belonged to Turkey and ho strongly urged a plebiscite. Lord Parmoor replied that a plebiscite was impossible in view of the nomadic character of the population, and it was likely to provoke disorders. Britain could not return the Mosul district to Turkey on acrount of the pledges to Irak, and, furthermore, the districts contained in the mandated territory were entrusted to Britain by the League, who alone could modify the mandates. The council adjourned.
