SAYS STEVENS
FANS FEELING
AGAINST JAPS
Firm, Stand Taken by
Toxic for Mandate
of Yap.

Toxic, March 1S.-By the Associ-
ated Press.)-Japan will stand
firmly on her mandate over the is
land of Yap in the South Pacific,
Viscount Uchida, the foreign min
lister, declared at meeting Of the
budget committee of the diet today
in reply to question by Represen-
tative Etsujiro Uehara. The latter
asked whether the attitude of Great
Britain and the council Of the
League Of Nations, and that Of the
United States regarding Yap did
not affect Japan's interests, and
also whether Japan intended to in
sist on her rights under the Yap
mandate.
Representative Uehara said that
anti-Japanese agitation in the
United States was spreading to
other states besides California,
which he declared was probably
due to the fact that the California
agitators were communicating with
persons similarly disposed in other
states, thus tanning anti-Japanese
feeling. He also charged John F.
Stevens Of Chicago, head of the
American railway mission in ST.
IBERIA, with carrying on an anti
Japanese movement as a result Of
the clashing of his views with those
Of the Japanese army in Siberia.
Viscount Uchida replied that he
knew nothing of the allegations
against Mr.. Stevens. but said the
government was adopting every
possible means to prevent the pas
sage of laws similar to those adOp-
ted in California.
Trade Agreement
The foreign minister asserted
that the trade agreement between
Great Britain and soviet Russia
was only a temporary measure.
The interests of Great Britain.
France, Italy and Japan in Russia,
he declared, all were different and
the negotiations Of France and
Italy did not seem to progress as
we'll as those of Great Britain.
Hitherto, M. Uchida said, Japan had
kept in touch with the soviets, but
it might be necessary to map out
policy conforming with that OF
other countries. He believed the
Moscow and Chita soviet govern
ments should be dealt with separ-
ately.
Ten members of the house of
representatives will visit America
this summer, it was announced.

SEPARATION OF
FROM
PACT DESIRED
u. S. Wants Peace
Treaty Freed From,
League.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, March 19-A1though
President Harding and Secretary
of States Hughes are proceeding
cautiously in matters OF foreign
policy, the attitude Of the new ad-
ministration has been made suf-
ficiently clear to enable the writer
to outline today some Of the main
points in the conversations which
have been begun with foreign gov
ernments and which probably will
reach the definite stage Of negotis-
tions after Rene Viviani, former
premier Of France, has visited the
United States.
1. President Harding has indi-
Gated to his cabinet as well as to
those foreign governments with
whom his administration has been
informally in communication that
he is open-minded and ready to
give serious consideration to any
plan for International cooperation
either including or excluding the
present league Of nations, but in
harmony with the general policies
and traditions of the United States.
2. Tentatively the Harding ad-
ministration seems to favor the idea
Of separation of the covenant
from the treaty of Versailles not
necessarily by the drafting Of a
new treaty or q new association OF
nations, but by eliminating so far
as the United States is concerned
all obligation to enforce the treaty
Of Versailles.
Want League Out.
3. The United States, indeed, is
anxious to see the enforcement
clauses Of the peace treaty kept
free from the league or association
Of nations. As one member Of the
Harding cabinet expressed it to the
writer, the ideal situation would be
one in which the League OF Ma
tions had no more direct connection
with the treaty of Versailles than
any treaty which may be made be-
tween the United States and China
or Japan. In other words, the
league would be a tribunal to
which appeal could be made in the
event that disputes Of a political
or judicial character arose between
nations but then every power
would stand on an equal footing
and would have complete liberty OF
action whereas today the League of
Nations is composed Of govern
ments some Of which we're neutral
during the last war or which, like
the United States, are not anxious
