AMERICA and JAPAN STANDPAT
ONOUESTl0N OF YAP MANDATE;
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Japanese Claims Award Of Mandate By Allied
Supreme Council, But Secretary Hughes Refuses
Acknowledgement

Washington, d. c., April 1s.-The
American and japanese governments
have adopted equally firm attitudes
as to the status of the island of Yap
Diplomatic exchanges are continuing
but those to date We're made public to-
day in Washington and Toxic. They
consist of two memoranda and three
formal notes.
Japan in its last communication re-
ceived late in the Wilson administra-
ton insisted it had been awarded a
mandate for the island by the supreme
council May Z, 1919, and that 1t could
not agree with the American contention
that irrespective of any award of
mandate other nations should have
free access to the island for cables.
In replying Secretary Hughes April
stated that the United States should
not be bound by action either of the
supreme council or OF the league of
nations and that as no one had been
authorized to surrender or. ccde the
right of the United States in the island,
the American government could not
recognize the ALLEGATION of the island
or the validity of the mandate"
Japan is now considering this com
munication. Great Britain, France and
Italy also have before them similar
notes. Exchanges between the four
governments are understood to be
underway with a view to reaching an
accord.
Meantime however, Franco in pre-
liminary reply, stated that the matter
is one for the supreme council to con-
slider in May and that when it comes
up she will approach 1t with view to
finding solution giving every salts
faction to the United States.
The viewpoint of the Harding admin
istration as explained today that the
question of whether the supreme coun-
Gil did actually award the island to
Japan on May I is of secondary i'm
portance. The important point at is
sue. it is emphasized. is recognition by
tho allied governments of the principle
laid down by Mr. HuGhes-that the
United States as a principal allied and
associated power. has an equal right in
the former German colonies and that
those rights cannot he disposed of
without consent Of the American gov
ernment.
Administration officials believe that

| conceded by Its former war associates
With this principle recognized 1t is be-
'iieved the details as to the American
rights can be worked out. .
No official information has come in
dicatinE Japan's position. Press dis
patches from Toxic today however,
say newspapers there seemed to think
Japan would adopt passive attitude.

positive attitude on zap in her last
