THE YAP CONTROVERSY.
HOLLAND A PARTY. JAPAN OBSTINATE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, Feb. 24. Advices received in official circles indicate that the Netherlands has now become a party to the Yap controversy. One cable line connects Monado in the Dutch East Indies with Yap and Holland is reported to have addressed a request to Japan asking for possession of this cable. It is understood that Japan replied proposing joint ownership, but Holland reiterated the request for outright And exclusive possession. The International Communications Conference will probably settle the entire matter It is understood Japan objects to the association of the controversy concerning Yap with the question of the distribution of cables. It is believed she will insist that the new modus operandi, which the Communications Conference may agree upon, shall be applied only to the cables. The American contention has been that both questions should be decided by the conference. It appears that every Government, except the Japanese, is now pledged to proceed forthwith to an agreement governing either the distribution of cables or negotiations for a new modus, vivendi. France. Britain. Italy, and the United States are united upon these grounds.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
