JAP AND YAP
- The real significance of the Ynp cpritrovepsy if not so much
the wttiial importance of he island itself as the stubbornesa
vith which Japan innistH on holding onto it.
The United States' has gone along without Yap heretofoiu
and could presumably get along without it forever if some sue!
v.camc action n WMod the island from the sea should sink
it again. It, is,, to he sure, an admirable plnse. for cable sta
tionu, connecting easily as it does with Asia, Australia and the
Philippines. Still, the United Stales has Gaum not far avny
as a link in the trans-Pacific chain, .'and improving wireless
service makes cables less imperative. 'If Germany had kept
Ynp, there might never have been any question raised about it
But Germany lost Yap, and with the island floating free,
So to speak,- Uncle Sam was naturally attracted to it as means
of providing more direct cable communication with the Phi
ippinos. , Inasmuch as this country expressly declaimed any de
Riiv for r.oi'imiti' territory, it would seem, that the least the
Allies, including Japan, could do would be to grant Ameiicu
mihln riu-hts In one little island. Japan seems determined to
prevent even that. , . ,'! rH
The curious thing about it all, from an American standpoint,
is that the madutory system under which Japan holds Ynp is
' hot supposed to grant any ownership rights. A mandatory now,
er is supposed to be merely a guardian appointed to admin
ister the country or territory concerned, whether in Africa' or
the Pacific, for the benefit of the natives. That principle is
expressly laid down in the Versailles treaty., Americans can
not see how the Internationalizing of Yap soil for cable pur
poses, so as to give our government a cable station there along
with others, would interfere with any humanitarian service
. which Japitn can render the native Polynesians under her
mandate. -
