| ton which it must assume was taken
under a misapprehension, will be re-
considered"
OF course, there is more or less feel
ing in both the United States and
Japan Viscount Uchida, foreign min
lister of Japan, has officially declared
that his government will stand firmly
on its mandate over the North Pacific
islands, formerly owned by Germany.
1t seems to be the general opinion of
the Japanese newspapers that the
United States is in no position to in
terfere, because it has not ratified
the peace treaty and has not entered
the League of Nations"
1t is not to be denied that the con-
troversy over zap, In connection with
matters in China and Siberia, Is a
danger spot. But any talk of war be-
tween the United States and Japan
over zap is mostly "yap."
The plain truth Of the matter is
that it is probably impossible for
America and Japan to resort to war
with the hope of decisive victory
The two countries are too far apart
1t would strain the resources even Of
the United States successfully to in
wade Japan. Japan could not success
fully invade the United States. Meth
er country has the men or the ships
necessary for such an invasion. A
country that must fight an enemy sew
eral thousands Of miles across the sea
Is at a disadvantage almost hopeless.
Japan, in a purely defensive war, is
the most powerful country on earth
except America.
1t is this military deadlock between
America and Japan that explains many
things that otherwise would puzzle the
student of Oriental affairs. 1t ex-
plains the japanese attitude toward
the California situation. Japan knows
it cannot use force to change that con-
dItion. The astute reader will also
see its bearing upon the Siberian sit
uation, the Shantung incident at the
peace conference and our former
'open-deor" policy in China. America
and Japan are therefore still in the
stage of diplomatic amenities-where
they are likely to remain for long
time. incidentally, If Japan should
decide to make war on the United
States, she would presumably strike
without warning, as she did in the
Russo-Japanese war.
Japan Is not difficult to understand.

map, Jap, scrap" Anyway, the is
land, in itself as inconsequentiai as
its name, is now on the map to stay.
AS to Jap and scrap-that is a story
yet to be told.
Before the World war, you see, the
United States enjoyed direct cable
communication with China by way of
Yap, then a German possession. Dur
ing the war Japan diverted the cable
routes with the result that American
business and press dispatches must
now be sent by way Of Manila.
On November 0, 1920, the United
States called the attention of the pow
ers to it's understanding that zap was
not to be included in the mandate to
Japan, but was to be International
lied as cable station.
Yet in December, 1920, the council
Of the League of Nations, controlled
by the allied powers, approved the
north Pacific mandate, with zap in
Guided.
Now the United States not only
holds invalid the disposition, without
it's consent, of any of the territories
coded by the central empires to the
allied and associated powers, but
pointedly suggests reconsideration of
the action, In defiance of American
protest, approving the award to Japan
Of the mandate for zap and other
north Pacific islands.
This is the substance of the Ameri-
can note to Great Britain, France, It.
ally, and Japan, now made public by
Secretary of State Hughes.
His argument is that the Ameri-
can interest in these territories derives
from American participation in the
victory over the central powers; that
this interest is recognized not only
In the Versailles treaty, but in the
mandate terms; that President Wilson,
in the sessions of the supreme coun-
Gil, made the reservation that zap
should be internationalized, and that
the councils ALLEGATION of zap to ia
pan is not binding on the United
States, because this nation has not
ratified the Versailles treaty, under
authority Of which such ALLEGATION was
made.
1T is cause Of regret to this gov
eminent" the Hughes note says, that
after and despite this protest, there
should have been any attempt to pass
upon drafts of mandates purporting
to deal with the Pacific islands, in
GLIDING zap, and that mandate
should have been approved, or at
tempted to be put into effect, which.
while purporting to be made in the
name of the United States, was with

The japanese are intelligent, Warlike
| and Industrious. They are crowded
at home and getting more crowded.
They are living lii cramped condi-
tions on a meager diet. Naturally,
they are seeking to improve their con-
ditiOn by emigration, penetration, COL
onization and conquest. That's why
they are in California. Hawaii, Siberia
Korea and Shantung and would IKE
to be in Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. Most nations fight only when
war is thrust upon them. Japan con-
siders war simply a policy OF stare
which conditions may or may nor
make expedient.
Yap, of course, has past. The
German-owned island north of the
equator, turned over to Japan by the
mandate, include the Marianne or La
drone, the Marshall and the Caroline
groups from north to south; they form
a. sort of strategic semi-circle around
the Philippines. The Carolines, of
which zap is one, number 700 islands,
most of which are small atolls. Their
total area is about $50 square miles.
The principal islands are Babel
thouap, JOG square miles and 10000
population; Ponape. 134 and 1000;
zap, 70 and 1850; Ruk, so and $4,000;
Kusaic, AS and 400.
The Carolines were discovered y in
1927 by Diego da Rocha, Portuguese,
who named them the Sequieras. In
1886 Admiral Francesca Lazeano gave
them their present name in honor of
his king, Charles II of Spain.
David O'Keefe of Savannah, Ca,
recalled the existence of the Carolines
to the civilized world in 1873. He was
shipwrecked and cast up on zap.
Thereupon he married native woman
and proclaimed himself king of zap.
Spain ousted this self-proclaimed king
of Yap.
About this time Germany cast covet-
GUS eyes on the Carolines, recognizing
their strategic position as to Japan,
China, the Philippines and the Dutch
East Indies. So the German gunboat
ntis hoisted the German flag On zap
and other islands in 1885. Spain pro-
tested. The Pope was named arbitra-
tor and upheld SPANS claim, granting
Germany important trading rights.
Fourteen years later, after the Span
ish- american war, Spain sold the Caro-
lines and Ladrone islands to Germany
for S4,2O0.OO0. Guam was excepted, as
It had come into the possession of
the United States in 1898.
Yap next attracted attention in
1914, when British cruisers destroyed
the wireless station and cut the ca
HES. A month or so later japanese
feet took possession. This was sur
prise, as Great Britain had officially
announced that Japan's activities In
the war would not extend beyond the
China sea. In answer to an inquiry,
japan assured Secretary Of State
Bryan that the occupation was for
military purposes only and would not
be permanent.
zap, together with the other Caro-
line islands, is of considerable mill
tary Importance. 1t lies at the gate of
the Orient. Americas route to the
Philippines runs by way of Hawaii,
Guam, zap and Manila. AS Japa-
nese naval base, it would be menace
both to Guam and the Philippines.
