WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-After the
appearance to-day of acting Secretary
of State Norman II. Davis before thu
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
where he made lengthy statement
with respect to the island of Yap in
the northern Pacific and laid before
Senators the minutes of the peace con-
terence bearing on it, it became known
that the State Department finds itself
unable to make any progress in its
policy Of getting Yap internationalized.
On the contrary, not only does Japan
hold zap, but Great Britain takes the
position that the matter has been set
tied by the peace conference and that
II there is any adjustment of the future
of Zap beyond that, it is for the United
States and Japan to settle.
Indications are the lid will be taken
off the zap situation and the things
leading up to it. Some members Of
the Foreign Relations Committee are
disposed to air the subject in public on
the floor of the Senate on the ground
that the United States has certain
rights as to Yap, which Japan and
Great Britain will not disregard if tho
spotlight of publicity is turned on.
Mr.. Davis went before the commit
Coe al HIS own request. Inc members
heard him with the keenest interest
and asked many questions. At the
close of the session there was much
reticence as to what had passed, but
the disclosures eventually became
fairly we'll known. Mr.. Davis had with
him and read the minutes of the peace
conference, referring to zap and the
German Islands in the North Pacific.
Senators listened to the reading of
the minutes with amazement. While
the text was not disclosed, it was said
by those who heard the minutes read.
that they showed beyond question
President Wilson had been out-man-
nuvered in the conference by Japan
Wilson's Protests Unheeded
1t was shown that on two or three
occasions while the subject of the
islands north Of the equator was under
consideration President Wilson in
sisted zap should not 60 to Japan, but
should be internationalizcd Though
he so insisted, there is nothing in the
minutes to show that Japan or. England
acquiesced.
When final action was taken by the
conference on Yap and the north Pa
cific islands the minutes show that the
German islands north Of the equator
were awarded to Japan. Nothing is
said specifically about zap, and Presi-

Japan Accused
In Diet of Bad
Faith in Siberia
kato Says Suspicion of Mill
tar.ism Could Have Been
Avoided by Withdrawing
Troops When U. S. Did
Shifting Policy Charged
Premier's Plea That Action
Was Essential to the Ma.
tional Defense Attacked

TOXIC, Jan. 25 (By The Associated
fress).-1f Japan had withdrawn her
troops from Siberia when the United
States did she would not have Been
open to the charge that her ambitions
were militaristic, declared Viscount
Kato, leader Of the Opposition, in his
speech IN the Diet yesterday attacking
the governments Siberian policy. AS
1t was. he insisted, all the indications
were that the maintenance of Japanese
troops in Siberia. had no bearing upon
political conditions there.
hen Premier Hara in his replv de-
clared his belief that the maintanance
OF troops in Siberia was necessary to
Japan's national defense, Viscount
kato rejoined with the declaration that
the Premier's explanation was not at
all satisfactory.
VlScount Kato said that when Amer
lea proposed joint action in Siberia he
mad hoped that Japan would determine
the. strength Of her force after taking
TIE powers into her confidence, but in
stead OF living up to the international
agreement she had dispatched the dis
proportionately large number Of $4,000
men, creating misapprehension abroad
as to Japan's aims. Then, contrary to
general expectations, Japan had with
drawn only partly when the repatria-
ton OF the Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia
had been effected.
Lack of Fixed Policy Charged
:. Likewise, in 1919. continued viscount
kato,, the Japanese troops in Siberia
had been reinforced on the ground
that such action was imperative to the
maintenance of peace, the safeguard
ing Of Japan against Corean outlaws
and the prevention Of Bolshevik pre-
dominance. The ever-changing explain
ntions, he asserted, had proved the
absence Of fixed policy.

position leader declared, "Japan should
have followed suit if she really desired
to respect the spirit Of joint action
and really had in view, at the time it
was decided to send an expeditionary
force, the facilitation Of the Czecho-
Slovak withdrawal. The American with
drawal virtually deprived Japan Of
justification for the further main
tenance Of troops in Siberia"
Japan concluded Viscount Kato,
may be we'll advised to leave the af-
fairs Of foreign nations to the for
eigners, unless her own interests are
seriously menaced. Siberia may yet
be far from political agreement inter
nally and the maintenance there Of a
Japanese army is fraught with every
danger"
Premier Hara, in his reply, declared
that japan wanted to evacuate COM
plctely when the Czecho- Slovaks had
been repatriated, but that Japap's topo-
graphical situation had prevented this,
while many Of the Russians were anx-
ious for the Japanese to remain.

dent Wilson is not shown by the min
utes to have made any protest.
Now, it appears, the contention of
japan, and in this England agrees, is
that inasmuch as there was no protest
from Mr.. Wilson on the day OF the
final disposition Of the islands with
reference to zap, that island should
go to Japan along with the rest.
1t appears from the minutes that
parccling out Of these islands and some
other territory is described in an ap-
pendix which President Wilson did not
know about at the time. Further. it ap-
pears fTom Mr.. Davis's statement and
from the records that Secretary Ian.
sing protested against zap being
turned over to japan.
The view that President Wilson had
been out-maneuvered was quite freely
expressed by Senators. The question
now IS what can be done about It. Some
able lawyers on the committee say
that the United States has rights in the

1922 MODEL.

EVEN THE PRESENT Policy Hold
ers Of the MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE
INSURANCE CO., to say nothing Of
those not insured at all, or insured in
some other company, will be amazed
when they see and have explained to
them the new policy to be issued by
the Grand Old Company, beginning
with January, 1922. It will include all
the liberal features embraced in the
policies now being sold, and every fea-
ture in the 1922 Model will be made to
apply automatically to every policy
then in force, regardless Of when is
sued. The new policy is simply the
sum total of the experience Of the sue
cessive managements covering perio
of more than seventy-siX years. Not
in years, if ever, have the contracts OF
any life insurance company lin the
United States been nearly so liberal as
those of the Mutual Benefit, and the
1922 Model goes as far ahead Of the
1910 Model, which is now being sold, as
the 1916 Model is ahead of all others.
In buying life insurance the ONE i'm
portant fact to remember is that it is a
duty you owe yourself to get the BEST
there is. Investigate the Mutual Bene-
fit and it's -ontract, and If then you are
not convinced that it is THE BEST,
why don't buy, but buy Of the Compa-
ny that you are satisfied offers you
more for your money. Don't buy to
help the agent, but YOURSELF. You
will pay the freight
