NEWS OF THE DAY
At NEW CASTLE
Agreement Reached In the Mat
ter OF Cost OF Water and
Electric Current.

Special Correspondence Every Evening
New Castle, June 1bs--Iast evening
The members of the City Council met
the members Of the Water and Light
tumfpiasion for the purpose of ndz
insting .fhe payments by Council for
the uHe Of the water aud eieffio
light used by the municipality. There
are three wasa provided by the agree ;
nenis between the commission and
the city. by which the matter could
l~ handled. The first method was for
The city 20 pay the Water and Light
Commission the rental value Annually
of 1880. which ia the same rate that
was charged by the Delaware Water
Improvement Co. 10 the city prior
to the sale of the two water plants
and one electric light plant to the
city. Second In place Of the city
must meet any deficiency arising
from operations and maintenance of
plant. not 60 include any equipment.
Third; The city 10 pay the interest
on the bonds. which would amount TO
81, 500. The matter WAS discussed at
length and the question Of the tax
ing of the property recently acquired
by the city from the Delaware Water
Improvement Co. was brought up
one Of the uuunciimen contended that
the city should pay the annual rental
for the water and eleetric current
used as per contract and that the
property taxed should be paid by the
Water md Light Commission. The
latter clause did not meet with the
approval of the Commission, vino stat
ed that the city property
should rot he taxed. The final ac-
ton resulted in Council agreeing 10
pay the sum OF '5.o0o p.r year for
the water and electric light consumed,
payable quarterly. and strike cut the
assessment valuation on the assess
fnent BOOTS Of the city property which
amounted approximately % tT0o. The
city by paying this amount is paying

regard to the other proceedings Of the
supreme council and without TAX
ing account of the reservations which
President Wilson had already made in
the previous meetings of the supreme
council on April 21. April 80 and May
1. 1919. The attitude Of President Will
son is sufficiently shown by the follow
ing statement which he made to the
Department Of State on March 3, 1921:
Ex-President Wilson's Posis lon.
"I beg to return the note received
yesterday from the Japanese govern
ment.. which I have read. in rela-
ering the Island of Yap.
my first information Of a con-
tention that the so-called decision
Of May z, 1919, by the council of
four assigned to japan a mandate for
the Island of Yap. was conveyed to
me by Mr.. Norman Davis in october
last. I then informed him that l
had never consented to the assign
ment of the Island. of Yap to Japan.
I had not previously given par
ticular attention to the wording of
the councils minutes of May z. 1919.
which were only recently called to
casions prior to the date mentioned
made specific reservations regarding
the Island of Yap. and taken the posi-
ton that it should not be assigned
under mandate to any one power, but
should be internationalized for cable
purposes. / assumed that this posi-
ton would be duly considered in con-
nection with the settlement of the
cable question and that it therefore
was no longer a matter for considera-
tion in connection with the peace
negotiations. / never abandoned or
modified this position in respect to
the Island of Yap, and I did not agree
on May z, 1919. or at any other time.
that the Island of Yap should be in
cluded in the assignment of mandates
to Japan.
GAS a matter Of fact, all agree
ments arrived at regarding the as
signment Of mandates were condi-
tional upon a subsequent agreement
being reached as to the specific terms
Of the mandates, and. further. upon
their acceptance by each of the prin-
cipal allied and associated powers.
The consent Of the United States is
essential both as to assignment Of
mandates and the terms and provi-
sions of the mandates. after agree
ment as to their assignment or allo-
cation.
1.-The consent of the United States,
as you know. has never been given
on either point, as to the Island Of
Yap.'
Of President Wilson in relation to the
Evening star., 1921-04-07

| Island Of Yap. inasmuch as the pro-
ceedings Of the supreme council. on
May Z. 1919. did not. and in the ma
ture Of things. could not, have final
ity, this government is unable to per-
ceive any ground for the contention
ment to make imm ediate protest with
respect to the so-called decision OF
May Z. 1919, and certainly it cannot
be said that an omission to do SO
operated as cession OF its rights.
1t may be added, however, that when
the matter was brought to the at
tention of this government in con-
munications in October last, this gov
ernment informed the government of
Japan and other governments (by
notes of November 9, 1920 that 1t
was the understanding of the gov
ernment that the Island Of Yap was
not included in the action Of May Z.
1919. Its position was subsequently
stated at length.
Regrets Ignored Protest.
'It is a cause of regret to this govern
ment that, after and despite this pro-
test, there should have been any at
tempt to pass upon drafts of mandates
purporting to deal with the Pacific
islands, including Yap. and that man.
date should have been approved. or at
purporting to be made in the name Of
the United States, was without the as
sent Of the United States. This gov
ernment trusts that this action, which
1t must assume was taken under a mis-
apprehension. will be reconsidered.
''In particular, as no treaty has ever
been concluded with the United States
relating to the Island of Yap. and as no
one has ever been authorized to cede or
surrender the rights or interest of the
United States in the island, this govern
ment must insist that it has not lost its
rights or interest as it existed prior to
any action Of the supreme council or of
the league OF nations, and cannot recog-
nize the ALLEGATION of the island or the
validity OF the mandate to Japan.
''In this view, this government deems
1t to be unnecessary at this time to con-
slider the terms of the so-called 'C'
mandates, or the discussion with respect
thereto.
"This government. as has been clearly
stated in previous communica tions,
seeks no exclusive interest in the Island
of Yap and has no desire to secure any
privileges without having similar privi-
leges accorded to other powers. includ-
ing, of course. Japan, and relying upon
the sense of justice of the government
of Japan and of the governments Of the
other allied and associated powers, this
government looks with confidence to a
disposition of the matter whereby the
just interests OF all may be properly
conserved"

Points Stressed
By Mr.. Hughes in
YaD Mandate Note

The United States holds rights
equal to those Of the allies in
the mandate awards Of German
territory, although 1t is not a
si&natory to the Versailles
treaty.
Although woodrow Wilson
never agreed to give Japan
mandatory powers over the
island OF Yap, II he had this
country would not be bound by
such agreement. as '5n0 one has
ever been authorized to cede or
surrender the rights Of the
United States in the island.o
The United States is entitled
to the rights Of a victor and the
league Of nations has no power
to bind the United States, as
this country In not . member.
The note applies specifically
to the Japanese mandate over
the island Of Yap and other
islands I'm the Pacific and incl
dentally refers to the British
mandate in Mesopotamia.
