t -German Colonies in Second
' and Third Classes in Mandate.
' London, July 12, (U. P.) The
: allied mandatory commission, com
pleting Its disposition oC the former
German colonies, had its final meet
in here today. Adjournment was
then to.be taken until the peace con
ference ratifies its report. Members
declared complete agreement had
been reached, except. In one or two
minor details.
: The outstandings phase . of s' the com
tnlslon'8 work was the care exercised
to design the conditions of the; man
dates so that all nations subscribing
to the League of Nations covenant: will
receive equal commercial and naviga
tion rights In the colonial i territories.
Nationals of the mandatory power, ac
cording to the terms laid down, will
not possess the slightest commercial
advantage over the traders from an
other country. -
Free navigation. Is provided - in small
rivers , and ports and all concessions
are to be equally accessible, .with free
trade throughout. , ". 1
For instance, in German Eaat Africa,
for which the Union of South -Africa
is the mandatory power, Americans are
to -have equal chances with the British
in the exploitation of natural resources.
The commission placed alt the former
German colonies in the second and third
classes Of the mandates mentioned In
the covenant. The third class amounts
, to virtual 'annexation, a. the territory
becomes part Of the mandatory- powers'
jurisdiction. ; to all 'practical - ends, the
league,, stipulating' certain .conditions
safeguarding; the welfare of the natives,
such as prohibition of slave' and liquor
traffic. ;-;: : -1

, 'hat, act was Intended to place the

as nesrly as might be within the limits
of daylight throughout the year. It re
sulted In very great economies of fuel

because of the very different effect of.
work done in the daylight and work
done by. artificial light. It, moreover,
served the dally convenience of the
many-communities of the country In a
way which gave all but universal satis
faction, and the overwhelming, testimony
of Its value which has come to me con

In acquiescing In Its repeal."

hopes of those who have most carefully
studied the needs of the returning sol
diers who are best qualified to carry
out, a purpose which I am sure the
country has very much at heart."
