POLITE NOTE
TO BRITISH
Equal Commercial Rights
For All Nations sought
With Alien Territory
Transferred by War
OIL EXPLOITATION
NOT RECONCILABLE
U. S. Possesses Only One
Twelfth of Petroleum
Resources of World
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. The
American government has in
formed Great Britain politely, bat
firmly, that it does not propose to
b excluded from participation in
the rights and privileges secured
nnder mandates provided in the
treaties of peace. Furthermore, it
expects to be beard regarding the
terms of those mandates beiore
they are put in force.
r 8. Position Set Forth.
The.' position of the United
States is set forth in a note by
Secretary Colby to Earl , Carson,
British secretary ot state for for
eign affairs and the specific ques
tion discussed is that of the Mes-
opotamiaa petroleum fields. Mr
Colby's note is dated November
20, and was made public today
following its delivery to the Brit
ish foreign office early this week.
It is In reply to a British note of
last August 9 whicli has never
teen made public and which deals
vita the application of the prin
ciples of equality ot treatment to
the territories of the Near East
to be placed under British man
sate, i
The American note takes issue
with what is described as the
British position that, mandate
tenements and. treaties; are to be
considered only by states that are
" members of the league of nations.
-It states that the. United States,
m a participant in the world war
"aaa a contributor to its success
ful tone, cannot consider any of
the associated powers, the small
est not less than itself, debarred
from discussion of any of its con
sequence or from participation in
the rights and privileges secured
nnder the mandates provided in
the treaties of peace."
v Attitude Toward Oil Welcomed.
Mr. Colby says In his note that j
the American government accepts
tne statement of the British gov
ernment that it has retrained
from exploiting the petroleum re
sources of the mandated territor
ies in question "and welcomes
Tour pledges" that It is far from
the intention of Great Britain "to
establish any kind of monopoly or
preferred proposition in its own
interest"
"I need hardly refer again,"
Mr. Colby continues, "to the fact
that the government of the United
8ttes has consistently urged that
- it Is of the utmost importance to
tne future peace of the world that
li territory transferred as a re
mit ot a war with the central
Powers should be held and admin
istered in such a way as to assure
..SOU treatment to the commerce

SYMPATHIZERS
PAHT IX FIGHT
TAKE
Union Jack Was Canoe of Assault
Which Took 30O Police to
Stop Fracas j
NEW " YORK, Nov 23. The
uual quiet observance of Thanks
giving day here was violently in
terrupted today when crowds who
had attended a high requiem mass
in memory of Terence MacSwiney
rioted at the sight of a British
flag decorating the facade of the
Union club across Fifth avenue
from St. Patrick's cathedral.
After a fight, participated in
by hundreds of Irish sympathiz
ers, during which plate glass win
dows of the club were shattered
by missiles hurled by the mob,
order was restored when a cor
don of 200 police established It
self around the building. The
Union Jack which was the cause
of the assault, though taken down
at the first demand of the crowds
and subsequently, replaced, still
was draped over the sidewalk
with the emblems of France and
the United States when the fra
cas ended.
When the clamor of the, first
onrush at the offending banner
was at its height the Rt. Rev.
Michael U. Lavelle. rector of St
Patrick's, clad in his ministerial
robes, rushed out of the church
and pleaded in vain with the lead
ers to quell the disturbance.
After mounted and motorcycle
police had dispersed the assault
in g forces, a survey of the field
of battle revealed casualties in
cluding a dozen or more slightly
injured who had been struck by
flying. brick bats. All windows on
the lower floor of the club had
been smashed.
