DISPOSAL OF MANDATES
ADHERENCE TO PRINCIPLE
"WASHINGTON, Harch 27,
Holding that the Japanese withdrawal from the League of Nations is purely a matter between Japan and Geneva, the State Department withheld comment on Tokio's action today. Regarding Japanese Press reports that the United States, Germany, and China have a tacit understanding for a united front against Japan's retention of the mandated islands in the South Pacific, the department said that such rumours were "too absurd to be dignified by a denial." It was said that the status of the islands had not even been considered by the Roosevelt Administration, and thore was no intention of discussing it until there wero further developments. It was recalled that, the United States had always insisted on being consulted as to the disposal of" mandated territory and still adheres to that principle.
