Japan's View that America Should Not Intervene Tokio, March 7.
In the course of the Budget debate in the House of Representatives, the Foreign Minister stated that the United States was represented on the Supreme Council meeting of May 7, 1919, which had discussed the question of Yap Island, but that she had made no reservation. Japan was not ~"e-presented at that Conference, but had been informed respecting the proceedings, and would have been notified if the United States had made any reservation. Japan had not received "My declaration from President Wilson, nor any memorandum.
The Yap mandate and cable "questions had not been considered separately. America having participated in the meeting of the Supreme Council, which had discussed that Yap question, there should not be any valid objection from America. The Yap question iveing already settled, the reported further conference probably concerned matters as between America and Great Britain. It was inadvisable to state at present whether Japan would eventually compromise.—Reuter.
