OUTLINE OF JAPAN'S
 PLAN FOR SETTLING
 TAP PROBLEM GIVEN
By Asnoclnind Prnss

Tokio, September 16.-The Asahi shimbun prints today what It claims Is an outline of the methods by which the problem of control over the Island of Tap will be settled. These are
 1, The Guam Tap cable will go to the United States, the Yap-Shan- ghal cable to Japan and the Tap Henado cable to Holland
 2. Japan will recognize American freedom of communications on Yap; in other words, the United States re- auires extra territoriality concerning communications and the right to es- tablish wireless station free from Japanese censorship. control or re- striction.
 3 The United States refrains for the present from recognition of Japan's mandate over the islands north of the equator
 The Asahi Shlmbun says that by the first and second clauses the United States virtually recognizes Japan's mandate, but that because of It's explicit declaration that the same would be tantamount to recognizing the decisions reached in Versailles, the United States is to refrain tempo rarly from ratification of Japans mandate.

Fly HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau Tho Age Herald 300 Davidson Building

Washington. September 17.-spe- cial.)-The state department gave notice to American financial inst- tutions today that it is desired to be Informed and consulted as to loans sought by foreign commercial inter ests. as well as foreign nations and municipalities.
 While the state department cited no reasons for it's desire to be in- form ed as to pending transactions it is regarded as probable that Sec retary Hughes was moved through the necessity of having knowledge of all matters having bearing on pol icy It is learned here that at the present time q numberr of foreign governments are negotiating with American syndcates for loan Of Sl0000,O0O. It is also developed that recently one government, presently at war, sought in va.tn for an Ameri- can loan. whether 'this government was denied its application through is not known.
 While the position Of the admins- tration respt cting loans to commer- cial interests las been assumed quite recently, the position respect ing loans to foreign governments

longed. Still more so if the guaran- tees are lacking altogether, which. of course will be the case if the treaties of alliance are not ratified Consequently. in the present state of things. French troops cannot legi- 'timately be compelled to evacuate by 1855
 That is why have protested against NJ. Poincaire saying that France is between two stools" on this guarantee question. On the con- trary, France stands solidly on a right inscribed in the treaty. l par ticipated hour by hour in the nego- tiatione from April 22 to 29 which ended in, adding the above clause. l still have the rough drafts of the successive proposals with the vari- ous additions inserted by .Messre Will son, Clemenceau, Lloyd George and myself.
 All that I affirm is incontestablc and moreover the treaty text itself is sufficient.
 The question here involved is aD solutely vital to France. The French rightly demand positive guarantees that invasion, suffered twice in 50 years, shall not be repeated.
 We cannot afford the luxury cf serving as a battlefield every 20 years for the defenders of liberty

SpeClal a d II z q with France and David Lloyd Georges insistence upon revising several of the most important clauses in Germany's favor, have deprived France of the advantages for whicl she made many sacrifices
 M Poincaire holds that this dis- advantage to France has been with out compensation or remedy. That is where I differ with him. 1 hold that Clemenceau's government, hay ing foreseen exactly what has since happened, had provided ample reme- dies. These involve the whole ques- ton of guarantees by Germany and the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine.
 Rejected By CIemenceau
 Clemenceau demanded at the peace conference that the left bank of the river should be occupied until the German>debt should be entirely paid. President Wilson and Lloyd George, the other members of the "big three, refused this proposal and suggested instead that military alliance where by the United States and Great Bri- tain would come immediately to the assistance of France in the event of an unprovoked attack by Germany. Clemenceau flatly rejected this sub stitute.
 But finally on April 2S, 1919. it was agreed that besides the treaties Of alliance, there should be occupation of the left bank, ceasing after 'o years if Germany meanwhile had lived up to all of her obligations.
 However, NJ Clemenceau very wise ly reminded President Wilson that the treaties might not be ratified ny the American Senate and the British Parliament. In such easel if Ger many faithfully executed the treaty for Is years, France might be ob- Hged to evacuate without having any guarantees as to the further carry ing out of the provisions.
 This remark was so obviously just that first MT. Wilson and then MT. Lloyd George agreed to add the foi- lowing clause to article 42s of the treaty.
 If at that date (the expiration of Is years) the guarantees against un- provoked aggression by Germany are not considered sufficient by the al- lied and associated governments, the evacuation of the occupying troops may be delayed to the extent regard ed as necessary for the purpose Of obtaining the required guarantees.
 May Continue Occupation
 This text is so clear that comment would be superfluous. If after 10 years the guarantees remain insuf- ficient, the occupation may be pro
