(lty Asso ciated Press.) The now four-power Pacific treaty was signed formally to day, but the American delegates af fixed their signatures subject to a written reservation that the treaty should not affect the American policy towards mandates nor cover any con troversy involving a question within the domestic jurisdiction of any pow er. In turn the plenipotentiaries of the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan placed their signa tures upon the treaty and later signed copies both in English and French of the American reservation. Tho reservation is in two parts, the first calculated to cover temporarily the question of Yap and other mandat ed islands which are to he made the .subject of a special treaty. The sec ond clause declared that all question which "according to principles of in ternational law lie exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of the respec tive powers" shall be considered out side the scope of the treaty." The text of the American reserva tion follows: "In signing the treaty this day be tween the United States of America, the ltritish empire, France and Japan, it is declared to be the understanding, and intent of the signatory powers: "1 That the treaty shall apply to the mandated islands in the Pacific ocean ; provided however, that the making of the treaty shall not be deemed to be an assent on tho part of the United States of America to tho inundates and shall not preclude agree ments between the United States of America and the mandatory powers respectively in relation to the mandat ed 'islands. "2 That the controversies to which the second paragraph of article refers shall not be taken to embrace ques tions which according to principles of intei -national law lie exclusively with-1 in the domestic jurisdiction of the re spective powers." Only one copy of the treaty, en grossed 011 pa reli nienl, was signed. Authenticated duplicates will be given to each delegation find (he official copy will be deposited In tin archives of the stale department.
