JAPAN, TAKING MANDATE,
DEMANDED EQUALITY

According to the text of the man

nations for the German possessions
in the Pacific north of the equator.
including the Island of zap. Japan
accepted the mandate with the res
ervation that Japanese citizens should
not be subjected Ito a discriminatory
and Instantaneous treatment" in
other inundated territories. That res
ervation is similar to one advanced
by the United States government in
reference to the British mandate for
Mesopotamia.
The United States has maintained
that it was never party of the
agreement by which Yap was con-
ferred upon Japan. and it has also
insisted upon equal commercial op-
portunities for all nationals in the
inundated territories. Japan's con-
tention for equal opportunities is un-
derstood to apply particularly to the
inundated territories south of the
equator in the Pacific awarded Aus
tralia.
The council Of the league in its re-
cent reply to the American note con-
cerning the award of zap TO Japan
stated that that was a question which
would have to be settled between the
principal allied and associated pow
ers, as the function of the league was
only an administrative one.

more stringent law regulating
the sale of firearms and the carrying
of weapons was advocated in a reso-
luton adopted last night by the Stan
ton Park Citizens Association at
meeting in Peabody School.
Discussion of the proposition from
the floor showed the consensus Of
opinion to be that much of the crimi-
nal injury inflicted upon policemen in
upholding the law. a large portion OF
the hoId-ups in the city, and general
possibilities for crime could be traced
to the ease with which such weapons
could be purchased.
The resolution asked that permits
be granted only to those persons who
are compelled to carry weapons.
The association also went on rec
ord as favoring the reappointment of
Commissioners J. Thilman Hendrick
and Mabel T. Boardman. Efficiency in
handling District affairs was cited as
the principal motive for the stand Of
the association.
