.eopening Of
Gables Held by
Japs Is Sought

Washington, April 22.-While
distribution of the former Ger
man cables In the Pacific will be
deferred pending settlement of
the status of the island of Yap,
it was learned today that the
United States will make an effort
to have cable communication to
the Dutch East Indies and Far
East over the lines in possession
of Japan restored as soon as pos
sible.
During the war the cables ta-
dating from the island of Yap
were sealed by the Japanese au-
thorities and have never been re-
opened. The cable formerly ex-
tending from Yap to Shanghai
was DETECTED from the Chinese
city to point in possession of
Japan in the Far East. Whether
an attempt will be made by the
government to have the
cable restored to Shanghai was
not disclosed.
1t was said today that only set
tlement Of the technical questions
of operation of the cables to be
among the comforting
powers is holding up the distribu-
tion of the cables, as agreed up
on yesterday after France and
Japan accepted the principles con-
tended for by the United States.
