Great Britain, France and Italy are
informed by Secretary Hughes in sim
liar notes dispatched by the state de-
partment Monday.
Specifically, the communica tions deal
with the award to Japan by the su-
prcmc council at Paris, May I. 1919, OF
a mandate over the Island of Zap i'm
portant cable center in the Pacific
ocean and Mr.. Hughes says the Amer

considered
Tho notes arc the first important
diplomatic communications penncd by
the new secretary and they make 1t
plain that the change OF admnistra-
tions has resulted in no modification
of the position of the United States,
that as a principal contributor to the
victory over Germany it must insist
on the exercise of it's full rights in
the disposition of the former German
possessions.
Only one communication-thAt 10
Great Britain-was made public. Those
to France and Italy are understood
to be substantially tho same, but the
state department explained that the
note to Japan contained additional
paragraphs referring to previous cor
respondcncc between the two govern
ments"
1t added that 'the correspondence is
not made public at this time"
The note to Japan Is in reply to one
on zap received from that country
March .. This communication and the
other three were supplemental to pre-
vious notes. Tho series was begun by
Secretary Colby, November .. Assert

ON the contrary" he says. article
IL? Of the treaty provides:
Germany rcnounccs In favor of the
principal allied and associated powers
all her rights and titles over her over
seas possessions. II will not be uucs-
toned that otc OF the principal allied
and associated powers in whose favor
Germany rcnounccs her rights and

tho terms OF that treaty confirm tho
position of thc United States"
