Washington. April 18.- The Am
erican and Japanese governments
have adopted equally firm attitude«
as to the status of the island of Yap.
Diplomatic exchanges are continuing
and those to date were made public
Unlay in Washington and Tokio.
Japan, in it« last communication,
insisted it had received a mandate
for the island from the supreme
council May 7, 1919, and that it
could not agree with the American
contention that irrespective of any
award of mandate other nations
should have free access to the island
for cables.
In replying. Secretary Hughes
stated that the United State« could
not be bound by action either of the
supreme council or of the league of
nations, and that as no one had been
“authorized to surrender or cede”
the right of the United States in the
island, the American government
could not recognize the allocation of
the island or the validity of the
mandate.
