ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1920. ' PRICE TWO CENTS
I.S. DEMANDS EQUAL
?'harp Note Sent to Brit
ain by Secretary
Colby
' j
WANT "OPEN DOOR"
lone of Contention is Mesopotamia
Oil Fields?Reply to British Note j
?American Supply Small.
In one of the most pointed y-wo ra
il notes ever addressed to trienc.ly
ffwers, the United States' govern-,
lent demands from Great Britain i
nd France strict observance ot tin*
opsn door" in the oilfields of Mesopo
im'a.
'in addition to presenting that spe
Ific demand the United States in
sts upon its inalienable right to en
?y equality of opportunity in all
mandated areas." Such territory, this
mntry declares, came under league
f nations jurisdiction in consequence
f a war which American blood and
measure he^ied to win. E\cn tnough
e do not belong to the league. our
rivileges resultant from tne defea.
f the central powers cannot lie set
sicte. ^
The State Department goes still
rrther. It boldly asks that the United
itates government shall be given the
fance of considering "draft mandate
tm-s" before their submission to the
mncil of the league.
In other words, America does not
tend to be' left out in the cold, in
s-pect of so essential a world com
cdity as oil. by finding some of it
:-hest sources of supp y handed over
i monopolistic terms as spoils of
i conflict to the successful issue
' which the United States was a
ntr'butor."
The note in which Uncle Sum
lows those "teeth" was despatched
y Bainbiid.se Colby. Secretary of
tate, to the Karl of Cur/on. British
oreign secretary, on November "20.
d was made public in "Washinetcn
Merday. It is a reply to Lord Cur
n*s note of August 9 and deals with
e 'Anglo-French agreement over
>ar Eastern questions in general,
HucHng Palestine, but in particular
th the oil of Mesopotamia.'
The British and American govern
;>nts have been in communication
the same issue more or less inces
ntly since May. .
SecretarY Colby's note was. framed]
council with the oil interests of!
? United States and may be regard
as representing the view of tha.
?at industry.
There is a distinct threat of Amer
m reprisals in the attitude pro
ilgated by Secretary Colby. He em
ns:/cs that the reported resources
Mesopotamia are "a potential sub
?t of economic strife." As mandates
?re devised to insure the epen door
r all nations, Mcsopotamian oil
comes " a peculiarly critical test of
e good faith of the nations" which
bscvfbed to the mandate principle,
merica would not assent to "cxclu-!
re control" by any nation or group
' nations o\mr natural resources in
?andated areas.' Secretary Colin
adlv hints that there can 1k> no
nceful ordering" of our economic
itions with States that violate the
trine thus laid down. Petroleum is
ined as a classic commodity upon
ich to-base a demand for recogni
i of "the enlightened principle"
ich the American nc.te espouses,
is growing in commercial impor
ce so fast that the right to "draw
>n latent resources in undeveloped
ions" for replenishment of the
rbi's supply must remain untram-.
led. ' x |

America's rejoinder to the Anglo

AFTER MILK DEALERS
Health Officer L. E. Poulks this
morning had one of Ihe dairyman,
delivering -milk within the city,
brought before the police court on a
charge of selling milk which the lab
oratory test proved it to contain only
two per cent butter-fat. Such milk
is little better than water. /
Justice Duffey ordered the'milk
from this dairy excluded from the
city, until the proprietor could: sat
isfy the health officer that he could
and would deliver a standard tirade
of milk, which our law requires to
he of not less than three and -ore- j
fourth per cent butter-faf.
Health Officer Foulk* is deter- j
mined that our c.'tv shall be served
with clean, pure milk of good qual
ity. This is one < f the important
functions of the health department,
the guarding of our milk supply says
the health officer.

T<*a, coffee or milk do not take the
o'aee of plain, natural water, nor do
the various other bovornires so g<-n

er--. It is true thai these drinks will
relieve thirst, hut they do not an ?
can not take the pale of clear water
If water is clean, it is impossible
for a person to drink too much, f??r
nature w;ll regulate that. It is. how

The point I wish to bring o; t v
fliat yon cannot dr'nk too much w:i
t'-r and in all probability you are
not. drinkin** enon?'h for your Imdilv
needs. Make it a daily rule to drink
a class of water just before retiring-,
and another as soon as von cot up.
And remember no matter bow much

it will not take "the place of plain
