confer
the
freedom
of
the
city
of
Glasgow
upon
the
Prince

a
luncheon
has
been
violently opposed
by
the Labourite

bersof the Town
Council according
to the
correspondent
of the ‘‘DailyHerall”’ La-
bour
organ.
They condemned
the spend-
ing
of public

on
the feasting
of
royalty when
hundreds
of families
were
starving.
The
debate
was closel and
a
roll call for a vote
was about
to be taken,
when
the
Labourite
Councillor,
Kerr,
scized
the
mace
and flung it
to the floor.
Amid
the din
the provost
and
his
col-
leagues
left the Chamber
declaring
the
motion
had
been
carried.
The
uproar
continued
in the:corridors.

the Grezk Premier,
who
is in L.ondon,
to
attend
the Near East
Conference,
is said
by newspapers
here
to
have received
a
telegram
from
King
Constantine
last

him to decline
to
com-
promise
with the
Allies or
Turks regard
ing
the rights of Greeks

London,
Feb 22nd.—The
Allies Control
Commission
in Germany
will prohibit th2
shipment
of
materials from
Germany
to
Argentina,
or any other
neutral
country
if such countriés
insist in
trying to
buy
munitions.
This announcement
was made
in British officia] circles
here
today.
It
was stated
that despite
the
reply of
Ar-
gentina
to
the
Allied reminder
that
the
Versailles treaty prohibits Germany
from
manufacturing
or exporting war materi-
als,
no drastic
measures
had been
needed
up to now for enforcing the prohibition on
shipments
to Argentina,
but it was
said
continued
efforts
to
obtain
the
same
would bring the Allied Commission
to
a
full exertion of its duties.
Washington,
reb.
22nd.—The United
States
Government
has
presented
di-
rectly
to the
Council
of“the
League
of
Nations
demands
that
all
Allied
and
Associaied
Powers
be
given
equal
op-
portunities
in
mandate
territories.
It
was
announced
today
at
the
State
De-
partment
that in
a
note
virtually iden-
tical with the one
on
t‘is
subject,
sent
to
the
British
Government
in
Novem-
ber had
been
despatched
to
the
Coun-
cil,
which,
is
in
session
in
Paris.
De-
cision
to act
on
this
question,
notwith-
standing
the
early
change
of adminis-
trations,
was predicted,
upon
the
under-
standing
that
the
Council
contemplated
immediate
action
on
mandates,
such
as
those
in Mesopotamia
and
Palestine.
While no reply has
been
received
from
Great Britain, it has been
officl lly stated
that the British Govt.
was
preparing
an
answer that would go far
towards
satis-
fying the United States
contentions
that
equal
opportunities.
1t
has
been
sug-
gested
that Sir Auckland Geddes,
who
re-
turned
to the United
States
today
after
consulting
with
the
Foreign
Office
in
London,
has
been empowered
to
convey
the ideas
of
his
Govt.
on
the
subject.
Officials of the
Department
declined
to
say fr'm
what
quarter
the
intimation
came
that the question
should
be
taken
direct
to the League,
but it is believed
it
came from Great
Britain,
and
that
the
returning British
Ambassador
bore
the
message.
In his
note
to
Lord
Curzon,
Mr. Colby said the United States
did
not
propose-to
be
excluded
from
participa-
tion in the rights and privileges
secured

and
it
expecwed
to
be
heard
regarding
the
terms
of
those
mandates
before
they
were
put
into
force.
This
note
was in repily to one from Great
Bri-
tain
ander
the date of
Jast
August
9th
and
which
dealt
with
the
application
of the principles of equality of treatment
to the territories
of the Near
East
to
be
placed
under
British m2ndate.
The
Uni
ted States
Govt.
took
issue
with
what
was
described
as
the
British
position
that
mandate
agreements
and
treaties
were
to
be
considered
on'y
by
states,
members
of the League
of Nations.
Mr.
Colby said,
‘“The United States
as
a
par-
ticipant of the
war and
contributor
to its
successful
issue,
cannot
conside:
any
of
the Associated
Powers,
the
smallest
not
less
than
itself,
debarred
from
discus-
sions
of any of its consequence,
or
from
participation
in the rights
and
privileges
under
the
mandates
provided
in
the
treaties
of peace.’’
