tion which it must assume was taken under a misapprehension, will be re- considered"
 Of course, there is more or less feel ing in both the United States and Japan. Viscount Uchida, foreign min ister of Japan, has officially declared that his government will stand firmly on It's mandate over the North Pacific islands, formerly owned by Germany. It seems to be the general opinion of the Japanese newspapers that "the terfere, because it has not ratified the peace treaty and has not entered the League of Nations"
 It Is not to be denied that the con- troversy over Tap, in connection with matters in China and Siberia, is a danger spot. But any talk of war be- tween the United States and Japan over Tap is mostly 'yap."
 The plain truth of the matter Is that it is probably impossible for America and Japan to resort to war with the hope of a decisive victory. The two countries are too far apart It would strain the resources even of the United States successfully to in wade Japan. Japan could not success fully invade the United States. Neith- CT country has the men or the ships necessary for such an invasion. A country that must fight an enemy sev- eral thousands of miles across the sea is at a disadvantage almost hopeless. Japan, in a purely defensive war, is the most powerful country on earth except America.
 It is this military deadlock between America and Japan that explains many things that otherwise would puzzle the student of Oriental affairs. It ex- plains the Japanese attitude toward the California situation. Japan knows it cannot use force to change that con- dition. The astute reader will also see its bearing upon the Siberian sit uatiOn, the Shantung incident at the peace conference and our former 'open-door" policy in China. America and Japan are therefore still in the stage of diplomatic amenities-where they are likely to remain for a long time. Incidentally, if Japan should decide to make war on the United States, she would presumably strike without warning, as she did in the war.
 Japan is not difficult to understand.

suggests many rhymes, including map, Jap, scrap" Anyway, the is- land, In itself as inconseQuential as its name, is now on the map to stay. As to Jap and scrap-that is a story yet to be told.
 Before the World war, you see, the communication with China by way of Tap, then German possession. Dur ing the war Japan diverted the cable routes with the result that American business and press dispatches must now be sent by way of Manila.
 On November g, 1920, the United States called the attention of the pow CTS to its understanding that Yap was not to be included In the mandate to Japan, but was to be international iZed as a cable station.
 Yet in December, 1920 the council of the League of Nations, controlled by the allied powers, approved the north Pacific mandate, with Tap in- cluded
 Now the United States not only holds invalid the disposition, without Alo NOLSChNt OA any OL lAiC ceded by the central empires to the allied and associated powers, but pointedly suggests reconsideration of the action, in defiance of American protest, approving the award to Japan of the mandate for Tap and other north Pacific islands.
 This is the substance of the Ameri- can note to Great Britain, France, It. ally, and Japan, now made public by Secretary of State Hughes.
 His argument is that the Ameri- can interest in these territories derives from American participation in the victory over the central powers; that this interest is recognized not only in the Versailles treaty, but in the mandate terms; that President Wilson, in the sessions of the supreme coun- cil, made the reservation that Yap should be internatiOnalized, and that the councils allocation of Tap to Ja- pan is not binding on the United States, because this nation has not ratified the Versailles treaty, under authority of which such aIlocation was made.
 "It is a cause of regret to this gov ernment, the Hughes note says, that after and despite this protest. there should have been any attempt to pass upon drafts of mandates purporting to deal with the Pacific islands, in- cluding Tap, and that a mandate should have been approved, or at- tempted to be put into effect, which. while purporting to be made in the name of the United States. was with out the assent of the United States This government trusts that this &C.,

The Japanese are intelligent, warlike at home and getting more crowded
 They are living in cramped cond1' tions on a meager diet. Naturally, they are seeking to improve their con- ditiOn by emigration, penetration, col onization and conquest. That's why they are in California, Hawaii, Siberia Korea and Shantung and would Ike to be in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Most nations fight only when war is thrust upon them. Japan con- siders war simply a policy of state' which conditions may or may not make expedient
 Tap, of course, has a past. The German-owned island north of the equator, turned over to Japan by the mandate, include the Marianne or La drone, the Marshall and the Caroline groups from north to south; they form a sort of strategic semi-circle around the Philippines. The Carolines, of which Yap is one, number 700 islands, most of which are small atolls. Their total area is about 560 square miles. The principal islands are Babel thouap, 1O6 square miles and 10000 population; Ponape, 184 and 2,OOO ; Tap, 70 and 2,75O; Ruk, 80 and 12.OOO; ; Kusaic, 45 and 400.
 The Carolines were discovered in 1527 by Diego da Rocha, Portuguese, who named them the Sequieras. In 1886 Admiral Francesca Lazeano gave them their present name in honor of his king, Charles II of Spain.
 David O'Keefe of Savannah, Ga, recalled the existence of the Carolines to the civilized world in 1873. He was shipwrecked and cast up on Yap. Thereupon he married a native woman and proclaimed himself king of Tap. Spain busted this self-proclaimed king of Tap.
 About this time Germany cast covet- ous eyes on the Carolines, recognizing their strategic position as to Japan, China. the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. So the German gunboat ntis hoisted the German flag on Tap and other islands in 1885. Spain pro- tested. The Pope was named arbitra- tor and upheld Spain's claim, granting Germany important trading rights. Fourteen years later, after the Span tsh-American war, Spain sold the Caro- lines and Ladrone islands to Germany for S4,2OO.OOO. Guam was excepted, as it had come into the possession of the United States in 1898.
 Yap next attracted attention in 1914. when British cruisers destroyed the wireless station and cut the ca bles. A month or so later Japanese fleet took possession. This was sur prise, as Great Britain had officially announced that Japan's activities in the war would not extend beyond the China sea. In answer to an inquiry, Japan assured Secretary of State Bryan that the occupation was for military purposes only and would not be permanent.
 Tap, together with the other Caro- line islands, Is of considerable mili- tary importance. It lies at the gate of the Orient. America's route to the Philippines runs by way of Hawaii, Guam, Tap and Manila. As a Japa. nese naval base, it would be a menace both to Guam and the Philippines.
