la the House of Lords in the course of a debate on mandates) Lord Curzon referred to the American request in November of 1920 for En cation of draft mandates which had then just been sent to the Equncil of the League. Lord Carzon said that the Council had not merely postgehed discussion of A and B mandates intil the meeting of the Council now being held at Geneva but would probably further postpone consideration, fresing the governments concerned to communicate with the American Gover ment before the meeting of the Assembly of the League in September, The reason for further 'postponement was the American Government's resumption of more active interest in the affairs, of, the world which the British Government welcomed, recognising that American cooperation was the best guarantee of rapid recovery of world peace. Lord Curzon was quite prepared to act upon any suggestion that the Counch of the League discuss mandates.
