AWAIT ACTION OF
UNITED STATES ON
YAP CONTROVERSY
Harding Cabinet Will Take
Next Step on Diplomatic
Relations.
BY Associated Press :

WASHINGTON. March 11-DiplO-
matte exchanges between the Amer
lean and japanese governments con-
cerning the status Of the Pacific ca
BILE center of zap, have left the
situation unchanged and it remains
for Harding administration TO die
tate the next step Japan's reply
to the protest against Japanese con-
troll OF the island, sent by the Will
son administration through the
American embassy at Toxic, is un-
derstood to have contained a reitera-
ton Of the Japanese claim TO ex-
sive jurisdiction by reason OF the
mandate awarded by the supreme
council.
As to Japanese control Of the for
mer German cables centering in the
island, against which the American
government particularly protested,
Japan is said to adhere to the prin-
ciple Of free use Of cables by all
persons, but with operation and
control remaining under the power
that is in possession Of the ends OF
the cables.
Japan's Argument.
Japan holds that this arrangement
exists in the case of the cable that
runs from the American owned
island Of Guam. in the Pacific. 10
Yokohama, Japan. The American
company which laid the cable. it
claims, admitted the right OF Japan
TO control the end which was landed
in Japan with America controlling
the end of Guam.
The Japanese view also is under
stood to be that since direct cable
communication between the United
States and Asia by way Of Guam
and Manila already exists. the line
from Guam to Asia via Zap is only
an indirect overflow connection un-
necessary in ordinary times and that
therefore settlement Of the question
of control is not urgent.
Meanwhile it is suggested that
since the League Of Nations council
has referred the American protest
addressed to it. to the allied nations.
a reply may come from that quarter
which may contain the germ Of 81
basis for adjustment.
One incidental result OF mis- sus-
pension may be the pOstponement
OF n settlement by direct negotiation
Of the issue between Japan and The
Netherlands arising from the claim
Of the Dutch government to control
one Of the former German cables
extending from zap to the Dutch
East Indies.
