MESOPOTAMIA AND YAP
AMERICA’S NOTE. REPLY BY THE LEAGUE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received March 1, 11.50 p.m. PARIS, February 38. . The League Council’s reply to the United States regarding the Mesopotamia and Yap mandates, will come before Mr Wilson two days before Mr Harding comes into office. The contents of tlje note are carefully guarded, but it is expected that America will be informed that the Mesopotamian mandate is not yet before the League, and concerning Yap, the reply will be couched in the most friendly terms, pointing out that Japan's mandate was approved two months ago, and calling attention to the difficulties of complying with the United States request. The lone of the note will be such, however, as to imply an invitation to the United States to continue the discussion, which will involve the Harding administration in a controversy with the League. European statesmen hope that out of this may come a clearer understanding regarding America’s relations towards the League. Received March 2, 9.30 a.m. « PARIS, March 1.
The League of Nation’s reply to the American protest regarding the mandates, is conciliatory and foreshadows a solution, leaving Yap under the Japanese mandate, but giving America control over the international cable.
