RIGHTS OVER ENEMY
LANDS MAINTAINED
(Continued from page 1",)
or from any discussions prelimin
ary thereto, but the terms of that
treaty confirm th position or the
United States."
Validly Xot Recognized
Re erring to contentions raise 1
that the supreme council during
the drafting of the peace treaty,
agreed to a mandate over Yap for
iapan. Mr. Hughes calls attention
that President Wilson had made
in the previous meetings of tha
supreme council o"h three occan-
ons reservations regarding the
island.
The secretary then quotes from
a letter from Pres dent Wilson to
the state department on March 3
in which he declares he had held
that Yap should le International
ized for cable purposes. Mr. Wit
son says he never abandoned or
.nodnted this position and did not
agree on May 7. 1919 or at any
other time that the island should
be included in the assignment ot
mandates to Japan.
Air. Hughes quotes him further:
"As a matter of fact all agree
ments arrived at regarding the
assignment of mandates were con
ditional on an agreements being
reached as to the terms of the
mandates and further, upon their
acceptance by each of the princl
pal allied and associated powers."
Declaring that the United
States "has never rested either
the supreme council or the leagu s
of nations with authority to bind
the United States or to act in its
behalf", the secretary says, "this
government must Insist sthat It
has not lost Its right or interest as
it existed -prior to any act'on of
the suprerSe council or the league
of nations and cannot recognize
allocation of the island or the val
idity mt the mandate to Japan."
The text Of the note to Great
Britain, similar to that to Franc
and Italy follows:
"With respect to the mandate
to Japan, purporting to have been
con'ined and defined In its terms
by the supreme council of the
league of nations, of the Cermat
possessions in the Pacific ocean,
lying north of the equator, th's
government deemi it appropriate
to state the fundamental basis of
its representation and the princi
ples which, in its view are deter
minative. Hi Klit of States Asserted
"It will not be questioned that
the right to dispose of te over
seas possessions of Germany was
acq u red on'y through the victory,
of the allied and associated pow-q
ers and it is also believed that
there is no disposition on the part,
of the llrUish government to ds-
hv participation of the United
states in that victory .- it wouia
seem to follow thit the right ac
cruing to the allied and associat
ed powers through the common
victory is shared by the United
States and that there could be na
valid or effective disposition ot
the overseas possession of Ger
many now under consideration
without assent of the United!
States.
"This government must, there
fore, point out that as the United
States has never vested eitner the
supreme council or the league of
nations with authority to bind the
United States or to act on its be
half, there has been no opportun
ity for any decision which coulJ
be deemed to affect rights of the
United States. It may; also be ob
served that the right accruing to
the United States through the vic
tory in which it has participated
could not be regarded as in any
way ceded or surrendered to Ji
nan, or to other nations, except
by treaty, and that no such treaty
has ben made.
Treaty Is Referred to
"The fact that the United States
has not ratified the treaty of Ver
sailles cannot detract from rights
which the United States had ac
quired and it is hardly necessary
to suggest that a treaty to which
the United States is not a party
could not affect those rights Out
it should be noted that the treaty
of Versailles did not purport to
secure to Japan or any other na
tions any right in the overseas
possessions of Germany, save as
pn equal right therein should be

secured to the United States. On
I the contrary, article 119 of the
treaty of Versailles provides:
" 'Germany renounces In favor
of the principal allied and asso
ciated powers all her rights and
titles over her overseas posses
sions.' "It win not be questioned that
one of the principal allied and
associated powers' In whose favor
Germany renounces her rights and
titles Is the Upited States. Thus,
not only could the position of Ja
pan derive no strength from the
treaty of Versailles or from any
discussions preliminary thereto,
but the terms ot that treaty con
firm the position of the govern
ment of the United States.
"Further, the draft convention
relating to the mandate for the
German concessions in the Pacif
ic ocean, north of thejfquator,
which was subsequently proposed,
proceeded in the same view, pur
porting on behalf of the United
States as one ot the "Tantors to
confer tha mandate on Japan, thug
recognizing the right and interest
of the United States and the fact
that the proposed action cou!d
no be effective without the agree
ment of the United States as one
of the principal allied and asso
ciated pewers.
Treaty Xot Rinding to V. S.
"As the United States did not
enter into this convention or in
to any treaty, relating to the sub
ject, this government is unable to
understand on what grounds it
was thereafter attempted to con
fer the mandate without the
agreement of the United States. It
is manifest that he league of na
tions was without authority to
bind the United States, and that
the confirmation of the mandate
in question, and the definition of
fts terms, by the council of the
league of nations In December.
1920. cannot ibf 'egarded as hav
ing efficacy kith respect to the
United States!
"It should be noted that this
mandate not only recites article
M9 nf the treaty of Versailles,
that 'Germany renounced In favor
or the principal allied and asso
ciated powers all her rights over
her overseas possessions, includ
ing the groups of islands in the
Pacific ocef.n. lying north o? the
equator', but also recites that 'the
principal allied and associate 1
powers agreed that in accordance
with article 2Z; part 1. (covenant
of the league of nations), of said
treaty, a mandate should be con
ferred on his majesty, the emper
or of Japan to administer the said
islands and have proposed that
the mandate should be formulated
as set forth. While this last quot
ed recital, as has been pointed out
in previous communications- by
this government, is inaccurate in
States as one of the principal al-
its terms. Inasmuch as the United
States as one of the principal al
lied and associated powers had
not so agreed and proposed, the
recital again recognizes the neces
sity of the participation of the
United States to make the pro
posed disposition ef'ectlve. -w
"As, In the absence of any
treaty with the United States re
lating to the matter, there eras
no-decision May 7, 1919, binding
the United States, It Is deemed
to b? unnecessary again to ex
amine the brief minutes of the
meeting of the supreme council
on that date. It may. however,
be proper to say that the min
utes of this meeting, although
obviously without any finality,
could not properly be construed
without due regard to the other
proceedings of the supreme coun
cil and witboat taking account of
the reservations which President
Wilson had made in the previous
meetings of the supreme council
on April 21. April 30 and May 1.
1919. The attitude of President
Wilson Is sufficiently shown by
the following statement he made
to the department of state March
Z. 1921:
Wilson's Attitude Shown.
" 'I beg to return th; note re
ceived yesterday from the Japan
ese government, (. which I have
read, in relation to the proposed
mandate covering the island of
Yap.
;"'My first information of a
contention that the so-called de
cision of May 7. 1919. by the
council of four assigned to Japan
a mandate for Yap, was conveyed
y me by Mr. Norm an Davis in
October. I then informed him
I had never consented to the as
Fignment of Yap to Japan.
" 'I had not previously given
particular attention to the word
ing of the ' council's minutes of
May 7, 1919, which were only re
cently called to my attention. I
had on several occasions prior to
the date mentioned, made specific
reservations regarding Yap and
had taken the position that it
should not b" assigned under
mandate to any one power, but
should be' internationalized for
cable purposes. I assumed this
position would be duly considered
in connection with the settlement
ot the cable question and that it
therefore was no longer a matter
for consideration in connection
with the peace negotiations. I
neVer abandoned or modified this
position In respect to Yap, and I
did not agree May 7. 1919, or at
any other time, that Yap should
be included in the assignment of
mandates to Japan.
I Jo a mailer oi ia'i, an ujtre'--
nients arrived at regarding ph
slmment of mandates were con
ditional on a subsequent agree
ment being reached as to the
specific terms of the mandates
and further, on their acceptance
by ach of the principal allied
and associated powers. The con
sent of th United States- Is es
sential both as to assignments of
mandates and the terms and pro
visions of the mandates. after
agreement as to their assignment
or allocation.
4'oDKent of U. S. Never Jlven.
"'The consent of the I'nite I
.states haa never been given on
either poTnt . to Yap.'
"Apart from th expressed pur
pose of President Wilson In re
lation to Yap. inasmuch as th
proceedings of the supreme coun
cil Miy-7. 191!). did not. and in
the nature of things could not.
have finality, this government Is
unable io percelv- any ground for
the contention that it was the
duty of this government to make
immediate -protest wftb respect to
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 7,
the so-called decision of May 7,
1919, and certainly it cannot be
said that an omission to do so
operated as a cession of its rights.
It may be added, that when the
matter was brought to the atten
tion of this government in con
nection with the conference on
communications in October, this
government informed the govern
ment of Japan and other govern
ments, (by notes of Xovember 9,
1920 ) that it was the understand
ing of this government that Yap
was not included in the, action
of May 7, 19l9. Its position was
subsequently stated at length.
"It is a cause of regret to this
government, that despite this pro
test, there should' have been any
attempt to pass upon drafts of
mandates purporting to deal with
the Pacific islands, including Yap.
and that a mandate should, have
been approved, or attempted to
be put into effect, which, while
purporting to be made in the
name of the United State?, was
without the assent of the United
States. This government trusts
this action, which it must assume,
was taken under a misapprehen
sion, will be reconsidered.
"In particular, as no treaty has
heen concluded with the United
States relating to Yap, and as no
one has been authorized to cede
or surrender the right of inter
est of the United States in the
island, this government must in
sist that it has not lost its right
or interest as it existedprior o
.i . . .... 7 1
any aciion 01 me supreme cuuucu
or of the league of nations, and
cannot recognize the allocation of
the island or the validity of the
mandate to Japan.
"In this view, this government
deems it to be unnecessary at
this time to consider terms of the
so-called "C" mandates, or the
discussion with respect thereto.
"This government, as has been
stated in previous eommunica.
tions.. seeks no exclusive interest
in Yap and has no desire to se
cure any privileges without hav
ing similar privileges accorded
other powers, including of course,
Japan, and relying upon the sense
of Justice of the government of
Japan and of fhe governments of
the other allied and associated
powers, this government looks
with confidence to a disposition
of the matter whereby the Just
interests oT all may be properly
conserved."
