JAPAN GETS CONTROL OF zap
Japan Must Report To U. S. Details
OF Her Administration OF The
Mandate

Washington.-The American and
Japanese governments have composed
their differences over the Pacific ISL
and OF zap, and are preparing to
sign a treaty by which Japan retains
administrative control over the island
and the United States secures the ca
bic and wireless privileges there for
which she has contended since the
Paris peace conference.
In the samet treaty, Japan's league
of nations mandate over Yap and all
the other northern Pacific island for
merly under German sovereignty is
given recognition by the United States
on certain stipulated conditions. These
conditions include provision for free
admission of missionaries and protec-
tion of American interests on the man.
dated territory, and require that Japan
shall report to the United States as
well as to the league on details Of her
administration of the mandate.
The zap cable and wireless rights,
regarded as highly important because
of the islands advantageous position
in the center of the Pacific group to
the south of Japan, are accorded by
the treaty to the American and Jap
anese governments and nationals alike
on terms of absolute equality. In
the exercise of these rights American
nationals are to be free from taxes,
licensing, censorship and every form
of discriminatory supervision. and in
addition ase to be aided by the Iapa-
nese government in securing needed
property and facilities.
The immediate value of the arrange
ment to the United States lies in the
concessions with regard to cable COM
munication, because they insure COM
plete American control Of the existing
cable between zap and Guam. Con-
siderable importance alsois attached
by American officials to the radio
privileges, although it is to be agreed
in the treaty that no American radio
station will be installed so long as
the present Japanese plant is operat-
ed without discriminatory exactions.
Signature of the convention is ex-
pected within few days, erasing one

-FOUR, POWER PACT IS SIGNED
II Is Stated That Consultation Agree
ment Shall Not Apply To
Domestic Problems

Neutrality-suspicious. has indicated
conditional acceptance of the American
"5-5-3" naval ratio, and final settle
ment of the question appears immf
nent.
After another meeting Of the naval
big three" it is said that zone very
small point" alone remained to be de
termined.
The Japanese exception to the Amer
lean plan is understood to center
about her desire to retain her new
battleship Mutsu and scrap instead a
vessel of older type If she is permit
ted to do, it is indicated that the Unit
ed States and Great Britain will in
sist on similar concessions for them
selves, always in the ratio of 1858. :
While the naval problem was enter
ing what appeared to be its decisive
stage, another of the big projects or
the arms conference was brought to
contamination The new four-power
treaty to preserve peace in the Pa
cific was formally sealed and signed
by the plenipotentiaries of the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and
France.
The quadruple agreement as finally
approved, however, has attached to 1t
a reservation" proposed by the Amer
lean delegates and accepted by the
other powers. 1t provides that no pure
Iy domestic question shall fall within
the scope of the-treaty and that none
of the treaty provisions shall be con-
strued as modification of the Ameri-
can policy toward Pacific mandates,
a subject to be dealt with in sepa-
rate treaty, now nearing completion,
between the United States and Japan.
Meantime indications developed that
in another branch of the Washington
that concerned with
Shantung, things were not going SO
After nearly dozen meet
lngs in which apparent progress had
been made both the Japanese and Chi
nese came out of conference showing
signs of somewhat damped hopes.
The question of financial settle
nents involved in Japanese withdrawal
rom the Kiauchau leasehold was the
stumbling block which arrested prog
'ess of the negotiations. Neither side
vas disposed to regard the situation
is a crisis, but each complained that
he other had taken a position diff
ult to understand.
BY delegates outside the Japanese
nd Chinese groups these difficulties
we're looked upon as entirely Temporal
y and in no way likely to prevent the
oped-for conclusion of the conference
y the end of the year.

The bill, as agreed to by the con

The senate amendment providing

Elimination by the conferees of an

from Senator France, Republican of
Maryland, that the stupidity of our
government policy" is aggravating
rather than relieving the employment
situation. Senator France predicted
that "by February or March, unless
there is complete reversal of the
policy, conditions will be so deplorable
that they may shake the republic to
it's foundation"
Senator Dial, Democrat of South Car
DINA, took issue with the Maryland
senator, with respect to the duties of
the government to find jobs for work
ers, saying that what is the matter
with the country now is that most
people are living beyond their means"
Senator Dial declared congress was
"kneeling to too many whims" and
that there would be no prosperity un-
til congress quit meddling in affairs
that are not governmental.
