Island of Yap,
We Know You

The tired business men of
Yap, having bolted their
breakfasts and barely grab
bed the Sis for the city this
morning, will settle down to
perusal Of the Morning Yap,
Immediately to be filled with
mingled sensations OF excite
ment and apprehension. For
then they will learn that the
Island of Yap. including all
the Yappers, are in fair way

prohibition, the high cost OF
existing and all touchin' on
and appertainin' thereto.
For yesterday, during the
novelette-length chat between
President Wilson and the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee about the peace
treaty, it developed that al
though no one had heard
much about it the Island OF
zap was the subject of pom
derous discussion by the
Peace Conference. And out
of this develops the possibil-
ity that the Island of zap
may become the main con-
Meeting link in this country's
Pacific cable and radio sys-
tenn.
What, were and why is the
Island of Yap? Fair enough
question. zap, then, accord
ing to the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, is one of the 400
or 500 dots OF land that make
up the Central Caroline Is
lands. 1t is about ten miles
long and has an excellent
,harbor, and, the Encyclopae-
dia continues, "the natives
are at a higher level of civili-
zation than their neighbors.
They cultivate the betel-nut
with great care, build first
rate boats, lay out their vii
lagos regularly, pave their
streets and construct stone
piers and wharves." That's

u. S. Senators Gufa,o While
: Lunching wHh Mr.. Wilson
Heads Nod Promptly When President
Proffers Food After Hours of
Treaty Discussion.

Peace with victory Is the inter
probation placed by members OF the
Presidents encourage upon the will
ingness Of members OF the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee to inter-
rupt their conference yesterday at
the White House to have lunch with
the President.
What Interpretation was put upon
known They were quick in meeting
the unexpected order to serve lunch
con for nearly a score Of persons.
The luncheon party had not been
included in the plans for the confer
ence. As It dragged on toward noon
however, the President several times
suggested adjournment for luncheon
but there was no response. Finally,
however. Senator Lodge said:
Mr.. President, do not wish to in
terfere in any way, but the conference
has now lasted for about three hours
and q half. and 1t is a half an hour
after the lunch hour" To this the
President replied:
VIII YOU gentlemen not come in to
lunch with me? II will be very de-
Hghttul."
Several Senatorial heads nodded
quickly, and the President led the way
from the East Room into the dining
room. The acceptance was regarded
as significant. because the Senators
in the past declined dinner invitations
on the ground that they did not want
The Washington herald., 1919-08-20

to put themselves under any obliga-
ton to the President.
When the President entered the
dfning-room he walked with Sem
ators Lodge and Knox and seated
them on either side of him. All
through the meal he devoted his
conversation entirely to Senators
Knox and Lodge. The treaty was
not touched upon. The conversation
mainly had to do with the Presi-
dents experiences abroad. He told
a number of stories which Senators
Lodge and Knox seemed to enjoy.
AS the luncheon was nearing its
close the other Senators who had
been conversing among themselves
were infected by the laughter at
the head OF the table by one of the
Presidents stories. Senator Borah
said all would like to hear the story.
The President complied.
There was little restraint during
the luncheon. When some of the
Republican Senators were told that
the good feeling manifested at the
luncheon was being taken as an in
dicatIon OF a change of sentiment on
their part they denied that any
such Interpretation was justified.
The pleasant character of the
luncheon" said Senator Borah, in
dicates merely that the opponents OF
the treaty are not in the least
actuated by any personal hostility
to the President. They merely dis
agree with the President upon prin-
ciple and policy"

STATEMENT BY
THE PRESIDENT

President Wilson in opening the
conference with the Senate foreign re-
lations committee at the White House
said:
"Mr. Chairman:
Il am sincerely glad that the COM
mittee should have responded in this
way to my intmation that I would
like to be of service to 1t. welcome
the opportunity for q frank and full
interchange Of views.
IT hope, too, that this conference
will serve to expedite your considera-
tion Of the treaty Of peace. l beg that
you will pardon and indulge me II
again urge that practically the whole
task OF bringing the country back to
normal conditions OF life and industry
waits upon the decision of the Senate
with regard to the terms of the peace.
Il venture thus again to urge my
advice that the action Of the Senate
with regard to the treaty be taken
at the earliest practicable moment be-
cause the problems with which we are
face to face in the readjustment OF
our national life are of the most press
ing and critical character. will require

cannot be postponed without manifest
peril to our people and to all the ma
tional advantages we hold most dear.
May I mention few OF the matters
which cannot be handled with intelli-
gence until the country knows the
character OF the peace ii is to have?
1 do so only by very few samples.
The copper mines of Montana,

rowcd money! the zinc mines of

Missouri reaches only a portion

an immediate need for cotton

chased nearly 100000 bales.

There is hardly single raw

manufactured goods which Is
not in the same case. Our full,

peace, not only. but also until we
know how peace Is to be sustained
whether by the arms Of single nations
or by the concert of all the great peo-
pies. And there is more than that
difficulty involved. The vast surplus
properties Of the army include, not
food and clothing merely. whose sale
will affect normal production, but
great manufacturing establishments
also, which should be restored to their
former uses, great stores of machine
tools and all sorts of merchandise
which must lie idle until peace and

! There was absolutely no doubt as to
the meaning of any one Of the result

minds of those who participated in

init that there is nothing vague or
doubtful in their wording.
The Monoe doctrine Is e1-
pressly me entioned an an under
standing which II in no way to
be impaired or interfered with

covenant, and the expression

not because any one of the con-
fcrees thought there WAS any
comparable agreement anywhere
else In existence or in contem-
plntion, but only because II was
thought best TO avoid the ap-
pearnnce of dealing in such
document with the policy of
singIe nation. Absolutely moth
| ing Is concealed in the phrase.
With regard to domestic Ques-
tions, Article XVI. OF the covenant
! expressly provides that, II in case OF

parties and is found By the coUn-
I Gil TO arise out of a matter which

I in the domestic jurisdiction IF that
party, the council shall so report,
and shall make no recommendation

States was by no means the omy
government interested in the ex-
plicit adoption OF this provision,
and there is no doubt in the mind
OF any authoritative student OF in

Senator Fall, after questioning
the President at length regarding
the status Of mandatory powers,
said he had prepared a list OF writ
ten questions which he had hoped
TO ask after the other Senators had
concluded. But. he said, it would
take a long time II they continued
TO pursue their present line, and
particularly if the Senators them
selves argue their own interpreta-
tions of the different clauses Of the
treaty"
After Senator McCumber had OBJ
tanned from the President a descrip-
ton Of how the Big Five conferred

each such conference was distri-

means to prevent it, may prove
disastrous to a large portion of the
world, and may at it's worst, bring
upon Europe conditions even more
terrible than those wrought by the
war itself.
Nothing, I am led to believe,
stands in the way of the ratifca-
tion of the treaty except certain
doubts with regard to the meaning
and Implication of certain articles
of the covenant OF the league Of ma
tions; and I must frankly say that
I am unable to understand why such
doubts should be entertained. You
will recall that when ! had the
pleasure of a conference with your
committee and with the committee
of the House of Representatives on
foreign affairs at the White House
in March last the questions now
most frequently asked about the
league of nations were all can
vassed, with a view to their imme-
date clarification. The covenant of
the league was then in its first
draft and subject to revision.
1t was pointed out that no express
recognition was given to the Monroe
! doctrine. that it was not expressly
provided that the league should have
| no authority to act or to express a
! judgment on matters Of domestic
| policy, that the right to withdraw
from the league was not expressly
recognized, and that the constitutional
right of the Congress to determine all
, questions of peace and war was not
| sufficiently safeguarded. On my re-
| turn to Paris all these matters were
! taken up again by the commission
on the league of nations and every
| suggestion Of the United States was
| accepted.
The view of the United States with
regard to the questions l have men
toned had, in fact, already been &C
cepted by the commission, and there
was supposed to be nothing inconsist-
ent with them in the draft of the COW
enant first adopted-the draft which
was the subject of our discussion In
