D. A, R.'S MEET.
President Harding Extends Best Wishes
at Opening Meeting.
The greetings of President Harding
were given the Daughters of the American
Revolution at a meotintr in con
ncction with their thirtieth continental
congress in Washington, Monday night,
by Vice President Coolidge, who said
he had come at the direction of the
president to bring his "greetings, and
his assurances of interest in the patriotic
work of the society." Other speakers
were Sir Auckland Oeddes, the
British ambassador, and Jules J. Jusserand,
the French ambassador.
Sir Auckland. Geddes made a plea for
Anglo-American and allied unity.
"The subtle poison to separate these
nations is the most dangerous propaganda
afoot," he said. "1 see it working
in America and elsewhere. The
only way to defeat it is to give up talking
about who did the most to win the
war. The Allies can not afford separation
now any more than they could
during the war."
Concluding, he said that "leadership
towards world peace lies in the hands
of America."
"Every nation," he added, "would
welcome the seizure of that leadership
by America now."
The French ambassador expressed
the altitude of France to the society
for its care of French war orphans, lie
presented two Sevres vases and a. copy
of Houdon's bust of Washington as
gifts of his government to the society.
TO OBSERVE FOREST DAY.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace Asks
Co-operation of Governors.
Secretary Wallace wrote letters on
Tuesday to the governors of all the
states asking their eo-upuraiion in the
nation-wide observance of Forest Protection
Week, May ill! lo US, inclusive,
recently proclaimed by President Harding.
Adequate provision for the safeguarding
and renewal of our forests is
of vital importance to the nation, the
secretary said in his letter, adding, that
the magnitude of the area burned over
during the last five years, represents a 1
territory bigger than the state of Utah.
Of the 100,000 fires which occurred in
th.-it period of time, the letter declared,
"SO per cent were due lo human agencies."
Menace of a future timber shortage,
the secretary asserted., threatens to
become a present economic fact, and
"spells disaster" unless the rate of
burning is materially checked.
ISLAND OF YAP - 1
America Has Rights and Will Maintain
Them.
CLAIMS OF JAPAN NOT RECOGNIZED
.
The League of Nations Nor the Supreme
Council Can Gind the United
-States to an Agreement to Which It
Was Not a Party.
This government, says the Washington
Herald, accounts as final the
word of Woodrow Wilson and will enter
no further debate over the "queslion
of fact" raised by Japan in regard
to Wilson's reservations at I'aris on
the proposed award of the Yap mandate
lo Japan.
Japan's injection of this question
constituted the most sinking lonuirc
in the exchange of notes between the
shite department and the imperial
Tokyo government anenl the mandate
issue, just made public.
And, it is learned, it was to save
the new administration from becoming
embroiled that Wilson wrote a formal
note In the state department, signing
it only a few moments before he left
the White House on inauguration day.
setting' forth his position on the point
in full.
vJ}ejoinder Rather Sharp.
Japfln, it is revealed, replying in
its nolo of February ?(i to former Secretary
Colby's, second note on the Yap
mandate .issue, contended that" i,lwould
be necessary Cor, the United
States "to prove the "fact that the par-ticular
line of views;. (Wilson's! reservations
on Yap) was stated fJt the?
meeting . of the supremo council."
Sensing the embarrassing - potentialities
Wilson wrote a . formal letter to
'he deportment', in which he said:
First, that he had ''never consented
to the assignment of the island of Yap
to Japan."
Second, that he had, "on several
occasions made specific reservations
reeardinir the island of Yap and had
taken the position that it .should not
be assigned under mandate to any one
power but should be internationalized
for cable purposes."
Third, that he had. "never abandoned
or modif>?d this position in respect
to the Island of Yap."
Wilson's Letter' Final.
So far as the present administration
is concerned, it appears tnat Wilson's
letter ends the matter in regard to
the "rpiestion of fact." The last reply
to Japan written by Secretary
Hughes declares that this government
"finds itself unable to agree" with
Japan's claim that to maintain her
position the United States must "prove
the fact." of reservations attributed to
Wilson and also prove that lheksuprorfle*
"cohn'ctl "decided ' ini favor of
those views." ,
Hughes' rcpiy to this, it may he
stated authoritatively, was designed'
not to make the question of fact a determinative
question lull to confine the
discussion with Japan to the question
of principles.
The last of the series of exchange
is Mr. Hughes' trenchant note. It demonstrates
tjiat inasmuch as the
United States has not ratified the Versailles
treaty it has not given its as
sent to I lie allocation or the Norm
Pacific Islands to Japan.
Japan lias not yet replied to I lie
Uiiffhes note. Italy'has taken a stand
favorable to the contentions of the
United Stales and Prance litis undertaken
to obtain a review of the matter
by the supreme council. Ureal
Britain litis not indicated it-s attitude.
Prayerful consideration of the American
demands, however, is not lacking
either in London or Tokyo in view of
the altitude of the Harding administration
that it will take no steps to
~
I:':'. r/.-ra
j ''The Bank Witli the C
~ ? '
ward partial hiiification of the Versailles
treaty until its rights in the
confiscated territories of Lhe central
empires are conceded by the allies.
Yap Not in Mandate.
The correspondence just made publie
begins with a note to Japan November
9, 1020, pointing out that Yap
was excluded from the mandate by
the Wilson, reservation, .Japan replied
Xovomhei 10 that Yap was included
by (lie supreme council oil May 7, 1010,
and there is no record of a reservation.
On Decomiier G the acting Sccreiary
of Slate rejoined with a detailed
account of the Wilson reservation.
.la-pan replied on February 20, 1021.
that the. American government must
piove'the supreme, council accepted
the Wilson reservation.
"it must also be remembered," says,
the Japanese note, "that i!' a decision
in favor of exclusion of tho Island
of Vap?a question of grave concern
to Japanese and one on which the
Japanese delegation invariably maintained
u firm attitude?had really
been made as is implied by the argument
of tho I'niled Stales, at the
meeting of May 7 at 'which .Japan was
r.nt represented, it would not but have
been regarded its an itct of entirely bad
faith." 1
