AMERICA TO STAND

HUGHES STRONGLY DlSSENiS
FROM JAPAN'S CLAIMS 40
TO ISLAND OF zap.
As No One Had Authority to Ceoe
the Rights Of United States IN Is

oonize Validity Of Mandate.

Washington. - The American anu
Janonese governments have adopted
equally firm attitudes as to the status
Of the island of zap. Diplomatic eA-
changes are continuing, but those 10

of two memoranda and three formal
notes.
japan in it's last communications re-
ceived late in the Wilson admlnislra-
tion. insisted it had been awarded
mandate for the island by the supreme
council. MAY Z, 1919, and that it could
NOT agree with the American conten-
ton that, irrespective of any award ol
mandate, other nations should nave
free access to the island for cables
In replying, Secretary Hughes on
April ) stated that the United States
could not be bound by action either
of the supreme council or of the league
of nations, and that, as no one had
been "authOriZed to surrender or ceue
the right of the United States i'll the
island, the American government could
not recognize the ALLEGATION OF the u.s.
land or the validity of the mandate.
Japan is now considering this COM
municatiOn. Great Britain, France ana
Italy also have before them similar
notes. Exchanges between the four
| governments are understood to be I'M
der way with a view to reaching an
| accord.
Meantime, however. France, in
preliminary reply, stated that the
matter is one for the supreme council
to consider in May and that When 1t
comes up she will approach it with
view to finding solution giving every
satisfaction to the United States.
| The viewpoint of the Harding adj
ministation, as explained Monday, is
that the question of whether the SUI
preme council did actually award the
island to Japan on May Z is of sec
ondary Importance.
The important point at issue. it is
emphasized, is recognition by tht
allied governments of the principle lat
down by Mr.. Hnghes-that the United
States, as a principal allied and as
ISOLATED power, has an equal right il
the former German colonies. and tina
those rights cannot be disposed o
without consent of the American gov
eminent.

states perfected an organization on

problem was urged by Senator John

solved by the absolute exclusion OF

they had established birth rate PEE
thousand three times as great as tina
of the whites. and that if further i'm
migration were prohibited for 1W
years there would be more Japanes
than whites in California.
"The Japanese today control one
eighth of all the rich irrigated land
of California" Mr.. McClatchy said
