LAPS DEMAND
 U. s. PROOF
Curt Note Indicates Defiant Stand by Tokio-Japan De- nies Any Reservations Were Made.

Washington, April 18-To maintain it's position with regard to the Pacific island of Yap the American govern ment would have "to prove not mere Ivy the fact" that President Wilson made reservations concerning it, but also that the supreme council "de- cided in favor of those views," the Japanese government says in a note under date of last Feb. 26, made pub lie today by the State Department, along with the other correspondence between the two governments regard ing Yap.
 "It must also be remembered"
The Prescott daily news., 1921-04-19

Japan says, "that if a decision in favor of the exclusion of the island of Yap-a question of grave concern to Japan and one on which the Japan csc delegation invariably maintained firm attitude-had really been made, as it is implied by the argu- ment of the United States govern ment at the meeting of (the supreme counciD May (1919), at which Japan was not represented, it could not but have been regarded as an act of entirely bad faith"
 "As no treaty has ever been con- cluded with the United States relat- ing to the Island of Yap" Mr. Hughes added, land as no one has ever been authorized to cede or surrender the right or interest of the United States in the island, this government must insist that it has not lost it's right or interest as it existed prior to any action of the supreme council or of the league of nations, and cannot re- cognize the allocation of the island or the validity of the mandate to Japan"
 Japan has not as yet replied to this communication, so that to date the correspondence consists of the two notes quoted above, another formal note sent by Acting Secretary Davis last Dec. by direction of President Wilson and two memoranda with which the exchanges were initiated last November, after some question had arisen at the meetings here of the international communications con- ference concerning the action of the supreme council with regard to Yap.
