RECOGNUES AN ACT OF LEAGUE FOR RST TN * (Continued From First Page.) nizes what the League has done in distributing the mandate as an ac complished fact and is trying now (merely to see to it that the United | States doesn't suffer any discrimina tions under the mandate, He has made it a stipulation incl« dentally of the new Yap agreement {that Japan must send a duplicate | copy of hee annual report on the ad- | ministration of Yap to the United | States. The original copy is, of course, [required by the League of Nations, |whtch retains the right to transfer a mandate at any time that it think: @ country ie no’ administering prop- erly an island or territory under | mandate. The Treaty of Versaillex gave to tho principal and associated powers the right to dispose of Ger- | many’s overseas possessions throu; jthe mandute system and it is solely | because the United States, as a re sult of objections to other parts of ithe League of Nations covenant, failed to join the League that numer- ous legal tangles are arising as to America’s rights. Some of the lega! | experts contend that if America had |Joined tho League there would have heen no necessity for a Yap treaty a four-power treaty and the United States would have been assured the morat support not merely of three other nations but forty others in any disputes arising in the Pacific. Much interest attaches here as to whether the new four-power pact is really in conflict with the League of Nations covenant, Under the previ- sions of that document, Great Britain. France and Japan must submit the four-power pact to the approval of the League before it can be consid ered ag ratified. Little objection, if any, is anticipated, because the League authorities themselves ap- proved of the famous three-power treaty concluded between France, Great Britain and the United States. whereby “unprovoked aggression” by Germany was to insure the military aid of those three countries, In prin | ciple the new pact is very Much the me, although specific provision for military aid in case of azgressive ac uion is not made. ‘The prediction that the United | States would have her hands full in conserving her legal rights as a re- [sult of the Buropean war if she mawe separate peace with Germany is fulfliled, in the opinion of mans ational lawyers here, who set four-power pect as well as th: new Yap treaty only the beginning of a host of special treaties with othe: nations with relation to mandat reparations. and other questions ov which the League of Nations has jur- isdiction but which must be settled separately by America because of he: refusal to enter the League, It fulfils another ‘prediction made by officials of the Harding Adminis- tration early this year, namely, th no matter how many tangles devel- loped, the United States would not ccept tho covenant of the League, ‘ut would pursue its own policy on every question or dispute that arose as a result of her wartime associa- tion with the Allles as against Ger- many.
