The opinion has been ad- * tranced, however, that Great Bri- * tain's attitude probably would be in- 1 fluence in great measure by whether * Japan insisted upon the carrying out ihe terms of the treaty of London under which Great Britain and c Prance agreed she should have the s former German islands north of the t iquator. This treaty was entered in- r io before the United States declared i war on Germany. s ' With the Yap mandate question i ipparently still far from settlement r t is not thought likely that the in- f ternational' communications confer- r mce which resumes its session to norrow will make great progress j oward agreement on the disposition v )f former German cables.
