THE MANDATES. LONDON, March 24
The Hon W. G. A. Ormsby Gore, in the House of Commons, said he hoped the Government would create a Select Committee to which all drafts of Mandates would be referred.
Lord Robert Cecil concurred. He said it was essential that the mandates should he submitted to the House liefore the country was asked to take up any obligations. ' Lord Robert Cecil condemned the agreement with Persia. The sooner we freed ourselves of this obligation the better for both countries.
Col. ],. C. S. Amery, Under-Secretary for the Colonies, replying, referred to the mandate over Mesopotamia. He said it was the Government’s policy to make that' country self-governing as soon as possible. Mr Winston Churchill had telegraphed that he intended to secure a most drastic reduction in expenditure. It was quite impracticable for the House or a committee to decide the details of the mandates. The House had accepted responsibility for the administration of the mandated countries, and the details could only ha undertaken by the Government or its dependents.
