BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April l8.--That Japan
is determined to retain exclusive con-
troll OF the island of Yap and TO
deny the United States not only
cable rights but the commercial
open door in this and other former
German islands in the north Pacific
is disclosed by the correspondence
between Washington and Toxic,
made public by Secretary of State
Hughes today.
The last OF the series OF exchanges,
however, is Mr.. Hughes trenchant
note demonstrating that inasmuch
as the United States has not ratified
the Versailles treaty IT has not given
its assent to the ALLEGATION OF the
north Pacific islands to Japan or
to the inclusion in the mandate of
Yap, which President Wilson pre-
serves for Observation-Disclosures.
Have Not Replied.
Japan has not yet replied to the
Hughes note and is already begin
ming to lose the support OF the allies.
Italy has taken stand favorable to
the contentious of the United States
and France has undertaken to OBJ
tain a review of the matter by the
supreme council. Great Britain has
not indicated its attitude. Prayer
full consideration OF the American
demands, however, is not lacking
either in London or Toxic in view
of the attitude of the Harding ad-
ministration that it will take no steps
toward partial ratification of the
Versailles treaty until its rights in
the conhscated territories OF the CEN
trail empires are conceded by the
allies.
The correspondence made public
begins with note to Japan Novem-
Der 9, 1920, pointing out that Yap
was excluded from the mandate by
the Wilson reservation. Japan re-
Piled November 10 that Yap was
included by the supreme council on
May 7, 1919, and there is no record
of a reservation. On December 9
the acting secretary of state rejoined
with detailed account of the Will
son reservation!
Must Prove Stand.
Japan replied on February 26
1921, that the American government,
must prove the supreme council ac-
eepted the Wilson reservation.
1T must also be remembered,
says the Japanese nots," that il a de-
cision in favor Of exclusion of the
Island Of Yap-a question of grave
toncerr, to Japan and one on which
the Japanese delegation invariably
maintained a firm attitude - had
