DEMANDS TREATY RIGHT
Colby Notifies Britain
To Consult America On
All European Mandates
Note Demands Recognition of American Government in
All Mandates Affecting Territory Acquired by Allied
Powers Through Versailles Treaty; Will Not Consider
Franco-British San Remo Agreement Binding.
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. The
American government has Informed
Great Britain politely, but firmly, that
It does not propose to be excluded from
participation in the rights and privi
leges secured under mandates provided
in the treaties of peace. Furthermore,
it expects to be heard regarding the
terms of those mandates before they
are put in force.
The position of the United States Is
set forth in a note by Secretary Colby
to Earl Curzon, British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, and the spe
cific question discussed is that of the
Mesopotamlan petroleum fields. Mr.
Colby's note is dated November 20 and
was made public today following its
delivery to the British foreign office
early this week. It is In reply to a
British note of last 'August which
has never been made public and which
deals with the application of the prin
ciples of equality of treatment to the
territories of the Near East to be
placed under British mandate.
The American note takes issue with
what is described as the British posi
tion that mandate agreements and
treaties are to be considered only by
states that are members of the league
of nations. It states that the United
States, as a participant in the world
wax "and a contributor to Its success
ful issue, can not consider any of the
associated powers, the smallest not less
than Itself, debarred from the associa
tion of Its consequence, or from partici
pation in the rights and privileges se
cured under the mandates provided In
the treaties of peace.
Mr. Colby says in his note that the
American government accepts the
statement of the British governmen'
that it has refrained from exploiting
the petroleum resources of the man
dated territories In question "and wel
comes your pledges" that it is far from
the Intention of Great Britain to "es
tablish any kind of monopoly or pre
ferred proposition in its own Interest."
Protests British Monopoly
"I need hardly refer again," Mr. Colby
continues, "to the fact that the govern
ment of the United States has consist
ently urged that it Is of the utmost Im
portance to the future peace of the
world that alien territory transferred
as a result of the war with the central
powers should be held and adminis
tered In such a way as to assure equal
treatment to the commerce and to the
citizens of all. nations. Indeed, it was
In reliance upon an understanding to
fhis effect and expressly In conten

PANAMA CITT. Panama, Nov. 25
A pledge of enduring brotherhood and
co-operation between Panama and the
United States was pronounced tonight
by President Porras of Panama, and
Warren G. Harding, president-elect of
the United States.
Speaking at a banquet given by him
in honor of Mr. Harding, Senor Porras
declared that It was the wish of the
Pan-American nations that the United
Sstates should continue "as the polar
star of our American continent, light
ing the way for other peoples that they
may follow In the paths of liberty and
Independence."
In reply Mr. Harding voiced warm
reciprocations of these expressions of
friendship and de&aied that u was one

third place with his Italian made An-
sal do S. V. A. machine. His time was
51 minutes 57.62 seconds. This was
the only one of the eleven foreign
made machines entered to finish
among the first ten.
Seven machines met with accidents
-nd were unable to finish, although no
pilots were hurt seriously. Just before
the race started an army plane piloted
by Lieut. O. G. Kelly collided with
navy plane piloted by Lieut. J. F,
Wolfer, who was about to "take off.
Three of Kelly's teeth were knocked
out and Wolfer's hand was cut.
A. Loenlng, special machine, piloted
by Lieut. D. G. Bradley of the United
States marine corps. v made a forced
landing within 500 yards of the fin
ish line on the last lap. A water con
nection had broken and the plane
dropped to the ground, but the pilot
was uninjured. Bradley was a strong

accident happened.

The machines were sent off one at a
time at Intervals of a few minutes.
Capt. Hartney was the first to get
away and he had covered two laps be
fore the last -machine left the ground.
Lieut. Moseley, the winner, was the
last to take off.
Winner Had Reserve Power
The Verville-Packard covered the
first lap in 11 minutes 6.70 seconds,
the second in 11 minutes- and 87-00
seconds, the third in 11 minutes 7.28
seconds and the fourth in 11 minutes
15.32 seconds. In order to demonstrate
that his craft had lots of power left
Moseley circled the course a fifth time
in slightly more than 11" minutes
second.
Two protests are likely to be made
against some of the winners. Official
timekeepers declared that Albert
Acosta, while maneuvering for posl
tion. crossed the starting line and then
circled, crossed again and started on
the course. His second starting time
was the one used in the official esti
mates, although if this Is later dis
allowed he probably will be placed
fourth instead of fifth.
Will Attempt to Break Record
Members of the contest committee
also heard unofficially that the plane
piloted by Lieut. J. P. Roullot, winner
in the De-Haviland class, had been
altered contrary to contest regulations
Ten thousand persons watched the
race.
An attempt to lower the world's
speed record will be made by Lieut
Moseley tomorrow morning, army avi
ation officials said tonight. A straight
sway course will be laid out and they
confidently believe that over this he
will be able to drive his plane at the
unprecedented speed of 200 miles an
hour. Today's race was four laps
around a triangular course, necessitat
