CONTROL OF CABLES.
IMPORTANT P’AtmC JUNCTION,. AMERICA AND JAPAN DISAGREE.. By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 28, 9.30 p.m, London, Jan. 28. The - United States has raised the question of whether Yap Island, through which the New Guinea—Shanghai cable and the San Francisco—Celebes cable pass, has been handed over to Japan as mandatory territory. Japan claims it has, but the United States asks that Yap shall be internationalised. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. Three cables radiate from the former German island of Yap, in the Caroline Group, one to Shanghai, one to the American island of Oram, and the third to Merado in Celebes. These cables were under German control before the war, and Japan claims that their control should pass to her as mandatory for the former German possessions north of the equator. The United States is strongly opposed to the retention of Japane/e control, as in the event of an interruption of the privatelyowned American line between Guam and Manila hqr cable communications with the Orient would be dependent upon the Yap system.
