American Position Stated
Clearly in Note to League

"As one of the principal allied
and associated powers. the United
States has an equal concern and
an inseparable interest with the
other principal allied and associat-
ed powers in all the overseas pos
sessions of Germany and conceded
ly an equal voice in their dispo-
sition which cannot be undertaken
or effectuated without its assent"
This positive notice was served
on the council of the league of
nations in Secretary Colby's note.
For the first time IT makes the po-
sftion of the United States clear
and uneauivocal. America demands
and will accept nothing less than
an equal voice in the disposition
OF all the former Germsn terri
tory and property overseas
This includes the German colonies
occupied and claimed by Great Brit
ain and France in Africa. the islands
OF the North and South Pacific TAX
en- over by the British dominions
and Japan. as well as all the Ger
man cables seized during the war.
Sir Auckland Geddes, the British
Ambassador, spent the greater part
of yesterday afternoon in confer
ence with Secretary Colby at the
state Department
Only two courses are open to the
allied and associated powers. II was
stated by a high official here last
night Either they must reconsider

Furthermore, by direction of
President Wilson. the respective
governments above mentioned
were informed that the govern
ment Of the United States could
not concur in the reported deci-
sion of May I, 1919, of the su-

the Island of Yap necessarily

part of any scheme or practical

that its free and unhampered use
should not be limited or con-
trolled by any one power.
Position Made Clear.

mandate to Japan, il NAV be
pointed outNthat even IL one or
more of the other principal allied
and associated powers were un-

CABLE CONFERENCE
WILL BE RESUMED
Geddes' Return to Result
In Session T0day-To-
kiO Insists on Isle.

The American note to the league
Of nations. protesting against the
awarding of mandates without the
consent of the United States gener-
ally and specifically. against the in
clusion Of the Island of Iap in the
mandate for the former German ISL
ands in the North Pacific, given to
Japan, was dispatched. officials Of
the States Department said yester-
day. in order that the ease might
be straight in the record for the
darding administration.
The full text of the note. made
public yesterday, reveals far more
sthan the summary the all-covertng
character of the American protest,
and IL shows also that, despite the
previous note sent by the United
States government to the four prin-
cipal powers. the league council on
December II confirmed the award
of the mandate for Yap to Japan
Reservation Not Perfected.
BY inference the note acknowl-
edges what has been previously
stated. that the United States did
not perfect it's reservation against
awarding Yap to Japan at the Peace
Conference and that the allied gov
ernments had informed this gov
ernment they would be forced to
uphold the claim of the japanese
to the Pacific cable station.
Especial significance was attached
to the publication of the full text
of the note here just a day before
the resumed sessions OF the Inter-
national Communications Confer
ence.
The contention of President Will
sou and this government has. been
that the future status of Yap must
be left to the communications con-
ference and the complications which
have arisen within the sessions OF
the conference have been due pri-
mariIy to the zap issue.
Ambassadors to Meet.
Today's session Of the conference
will once more bring together the
ambassadors of the four allied
powers. with Norman II. Davis. I'm
dersecretary of State, as Sir Auek-
land Geddes. British Ambassador,

Adjournment of the sessions from

Of the British Ambassador has been
due not to his absence, but to the
inability of the Japanese Ambassa-
dor to obtain the consent of his
government to continue the discus
sions without first obtaining the
exclusion of Yap from the business
of the conference.
1t is thought. therefore. that the
American note will serve not only
to hold up the question of man
dates for the consideration of the
Harding administration, but will
force a showdown in the communi-
cations conference that will bring
either progress or an absolute un-
derstanding as to the opposition
which this government must face
in the mandate ISSUE
