yAP CONTROVERSY ,
FINALLY SETTLED
U. s. AND JAPAN COME TO TERMS.
OVER DIFFERENCES CON-
cERNiNG PACIFIC ISLAND
laps WILL CONTROL ISLAND
U. s. Secures Wireless and Cable
Rights Contended for at Paris
Conference, Japs Must Protect
American Interests

Washington. - The American and
japanese governments have cOmpro-
missed their differences over the Pa
cific island of zap, and are preparing
to sign treaty by which japan retains
administrative control over the island
and the United States secures the
cable and wireless privileges there for
which she has contended since the
Paris peace conference.
Japan's league of nations mandate
over zap and all other northern Pa
cifc islands formerly under German
sovereignty, is given recognition by
the United States on certain cOndi-
tons. These include provisions for
free admission of missionaries and pro-
lection of American interests in the
inundated territory and require that
Japan shall report to the United States
as well as to the league on details of
her administration.
The zap cable and wireless rights,
regarded as highly important because
of the islands advantageous position
in the Pacific, are accorded to the
American and Japanese governments
and nationals alike, on terms of equal
ity. In the exercise of these rights
American nationals are to he free from
taxes, licensing, censorship and every
form of discriminatory supervision,
and in addition are to be aided by the
Japanese government in securing need
ed property and facilities.
The immediate value of the arrange
ment to the United States lies in the
concessions on cable communications,
because they insure complete Ameri-
can control of the existing cable be-
tween zap and Guam. Considerable
Importance also Is attached by Ameri-
can officials to the radio privileges,
although it is to be agreed in the
treaty that no American radio station
will be installed while the present
Japanese plant is operated without
discriminatory exactiOns.
Signature Is expected in the near
future, erasing one Of the principal
causes for controversy between Wash
ington and Toxic and ending several
months negotiation.
The American request for a COM
munication base in zap first was laid
before the powers at Paris, and the
Wilson administration later, protested
when the league awarded q mandate
to Japan without recognizing the
American claims. The league referred
the question to Japan and the United
States for settlement.
