U. SLAP, DISPUTE
over YAP is ENDED
Hughes and Shidehara Affix
Signatures to Treaty for
Respective Countries

Washington, ID. C.-The long con
troversy between the United States
and Japan, relating to the Pacific is
land of Yap-the subject of many
notes and other diplomatic exchanges
was formally and finally ended with
the signature OF a treaty by represen-
tatives of the two countries.
The treaty which defines the rights
of the United States in Yap and other
islands inundated to Japan under the
treaty of Versailles, was signed by
States, and Baron Kijuro Shidehara
for Japan in the office Of the former
at the state department.
The secretary declared that under
the treaty the United States is given
free access to the Island of zap on
a footing of entire equality with ia
pan or any other nation in all that
relates to the landing and operation
of the existing Yap-Guam cable or Of
any cable which may hereafter be
laid by the United States or it's ma
tionals.
1t was also agreed, according to
Secretary Hughes, that the United
States and it's nationals were to be
accorded the same rights and privi-
leges with respect to radio telegraphic
service as with regard to cables. In
relation to electrical communications,
it was agreed that the United States
should have rights of residence with
out restriction, and rights OF acquisi-
tion, enjoyment and undisturbed pos
session, upon a footing of entire
equality with japan or any other ma
ton or their respective nationals of
all property and interests, both per
sonal and real, including lands, build
ings, residences, Offices, work and
appurtenances
Japan further agrees that vested
American property rights in the is
lands will be maintained and re-
spected, and agrees that any modifica-
tions in the mandate granted under
the treaty of Versailles are 10 be

PLAN REDUCTION OF
10000 IN NAVY
Secretary Denby's Sche duIe
for Next Year Would Retire
100 Destroyers

shington.-Secretary of the Navy
Edwin Denby, in asking Congress for
an appropriation Of S35O,000,0OO for
the navy next year, ran into the edge
of threatened fight by advocates of
government economy to scrap" the
naval establishment below the ratio
figures fixed by the arms conference.
In a frank and detailed statement
as to what the navy department
hoped to accomplish, Mr.. DENLY told
the House naval committee that his
estimate called for a reduction of TO-
600 in enlisted personnel, which was
made possible only by putting about
100 destroyers out of commission and
by sharp cuts in shore station forces.
Chairman Thomas S. Butler of Penn
sylvaniaa indicated that the figures
named by the secretary, compared
with an appropriation of $412, 900, 900
for the present fiscal year, was high,
in view OF reductions authorized by
the conference.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that some members of Congress have
been urging a naval appropriation
bill carrying no more than $175, 5,000,-
600 or $2OO,OOO,OOO, but Mr.. DENLY
agreed with the view expressed by
members of the committee that such
a reduction would put the United
States actually below Great Britain
and Japan, while leaving the tonnage
ratio at five-fve-three, as agreed to
by the conference
Believing that with a smaller fight
ing force the navy should be kept
"on it's toes" leaders standing behind
Secretary Denby's estimate declared
to limit the appropriation under
$200,000,000 would mean for the Unit
ed States navy really smaller than
that Of Japan. They insisted that in
stead of five-five each for the United
States and Great Britain, and three
for Japan, the standing would be,
with the estimate so widely slashed,
a ratio of Great Britain five, United
States two and Japan three.
