Washington, April 6. New notes on the subject of man

State department officials re
fused to discuss the documents,
but it was learned that they were
broad enough in terms to cover all
American rights growing out of
the world war.
The notes form a part of the ser
ies begun by Secretary Colby and
in which the United States insist
ed upon its full rights as one of
the allied and associated powers,
and also the rights to pass finally
upon all mandates before their
adoption.
Note Is Lengthy.
Paris, April 6. A note of con
siderable length from Charles E.
Hughes, American secretary ot
state, has been received by the
French foreign office through the
American embassy here. The doc
ument, which bears the date of
April 4, affirms the rights of the
United States in all settlements
arising from the world war.
Identical communications were
sent to the British and Italian gov
ernments, it is understood, with
notice that the tejt will be issued
at the state department In Wash
ington immediately after all the
interested governments have re
ceived it.
Treaty Repudiated.
"Pertinax," political editor of
the Echo I)e Paris, who appears
to have had access to the note, de
clares he considered it meant that
America declines to recognize any
decision of the allies in the treaty
of Versailles, or taken by the su
preme council or by the league of
nations. He asserts that this is a
grave attitude on the part of the
United States.
It was learned In official cir

munication bears principally up
on the action - of the council of
the league of nations fast Decem
ber in approving the mandates
passed upon at 'that meeting, in
cluding the Japanese mandate
over the north Pacific islands, tak
ing in the Island of Yap, it also
outlines the policy of the new ad
ministration regarding questions
arising from the war, and declares
the approval of the United States
to be necessary for a final settle
ment. Justice Recognized.
A disposition to recognize the
justice of the American claim was
indicated in official quarters, al
though with the reservation that
it was scarcely possible to give the
United States the right to veto In
the settlement of questions which
necessarily were discussed in the
absence of representatives of the
American government.
