AMERICAS STAND
is MADE PLAIN

Council Strengthens Hardine's
Position.
icy The Associated press).


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 24.-The
American government has taken an
unequivocal stand with regard TO it's
right to a voice in the disposition Of
the former overseas possession of
Germany.
Secretary Colby, in his note of last
Monday 10 the council OF the league
of nations. made public tonight at the
state department, submits that the
disposition of those possessions can
not be undertaken or effectuated"
without the assent OF the United
States.
Furthermore, he states that the
United States, as one OF the "princi-
pal allied and associated powers" has
ian equal concern and an inseparable
interest with the others or those pow
ers In the territories taken from Ger
many" and "concededly an equal voice
i'm their disposition"
Declaring that the American gov
eminent cannot regard itself as bound
by the terms and provisions OF the
mandate given to Japan over the Pa
ciflc island of zap at the meeting of
the league at Geneva last Dec. II. the
secretary of state requests that the
council. having obviously acted under
Misrepresentation of the facts" in
assuming that the United States has
approved a Japanese mandate over
the island, reopen the question for
further consideration which the
proper settlement OF 1t clearly re-
quires."
Discussing the note today, state de-
partment officials declared that in
acting at this time the present admin
istration had strengthened tho posi-
ton OF the new administration which
comes into office March 4, rather than
adding an embarrassment. The opin-
ion also was expressed that there
might he conference OF the interest
ed powers to discuss the whole ques-
ton, 1t Is understood that such a
course would be acceptable to the
United States. although state depart
ment officers said the modus operandi
was OF little concern to the American
government
Referring to the zap mandate, Sec
rotary Colby says, in his note to the
council. that at the time of the dis
cussion OF the question at Paris Pres
ident Wilson was particular to stipu-
late chat it should be reserved for
future consideration and that subse-
quently the United States in notes to
Great Britain, France. Italy and ia
pan set forth at length its contention
that zap had In fact been excepted
from the proposed mandate to Japan
for the Pacific islands north of the
equator formerly held by Germany"
