MANDATE QUESTIO IN GABLE TANGLE Objection of Japan to Use of Island of Yap Believed to Hinge on This. Final disposition of the German ca- bles scized by Great Britain, France and Japan during the world war has become interwoven with the larger question of the status of the various mandates assumed by or proposed to be granted to the allied powers. One of the parties to the negotia- tions between the allied and associat- ed governments concerning the cables said yesterday that the JapaneSe gov- ernment probably would not have of- fered objection to the American pro- Pposal to make the Island of Yap avail- able for cable and commuhication uses to all nations on an equal foot- ing if it were understood that such a decision would not affect the validity * of the Japanese claim to an exclusive mandate over that former German is- land. No British Instructions. The international communications conference here has been considering the possibility of compromising the positions of the various parties to the conference by separating the cable question from that conccrning man- dates. There will be further discus- sion on that subject when the con- | ference resumes its sessions Mond It is understood that the Briti delegate to the conference sti without final instructions ' from his government. It is the absence of these instructions which has caused a postponement of the sessions. It is cxplained that the pressure of other matters of great importance, such as the reassembling of parliament, the Irish question, and the settlement of the reparations issues, has prevented the British government from goving to the report of its exports who at- tended the first sessions of the con- ference that study which is deemed necessary before a final decision can be reached. INEFFICIENCY AT CAPITOL SEEN BY REPRESENTATIVE Blanton Tells Employes’ Associa- tion He Will Oppose Higher Pay for Congressmen. Reprelenfiltlvg Thomas L. Blanton of Texas. who recently advised gov- ernment employes to weed out the in- efficient workers in their midst, tol the City Employes’ Association -in Perpetual Hall last night that he also sees inefficiency around him in Con- gress. He also denounced movements in Congress to increase the pay of mem- bers of the House and Senate, and declared he would oppose these move- ments. “In _these days of. reconstruction,’ Mr. Blanton continued, “the represent- ative or senmator who is not willing to work for his government for $7,500 a year ought to quit and let some one eise take his place.” The speaker told the members of the association that no doubt many of them get less than they earn, while others receive too much for what they do. It is so in all organizations, he said. He told the employes that if they would create a department of efficiency in the organization “and kick out the fellow who lays down on the job,” he would vof crease salaries. In concluding his talk, Mr. Blanton indicated clearly that he is opposed to.the use of the strike by any gov- ernment employes. k Bresnahan presided and in- « troduced Mr. Blanton.
