Japan's Retention of Mandated Islands

TO ACT IN UNISON WITH LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, March 2-It was indicated in high quarters to-day that the United States may be ex-) The announcement from Sydney,pected to enter a vigorous protest that a company has registered for against Japan's asserted right to the purpose of tendering for thhold the mandated islands in th sir service between the Australian South Seas after her withdrawal coast and Singapore draws atten- from the Losgue of Nationa. tion to the fact that a new link

is about to be forged in completion of the chain of Empire air BET' vicon.

The history of civil aviation tn the United Kingdum is, in effect, the history of the development of the air routes of the Empire, states the Financial Times in review of the aircraft industry.

While progress in British avia- tion at home has not been neglect. od, a number of factors in com- bination have operated to give the movement its outward direction the geographical situation of the country, its position as the centre of the Empire, the shortness of interior distances, and the capa city of existing rail, road and coastwise sarvices to meet most home, requirements for passenger and merchandise traffic.

these quarters, bewithheld for a Tho protest will, it was said in time as it would bruntimely to announce any policy at present. It was pointed out in circles close to the Administration that the United States has at times insisted upon the right to share in the dis position of all formsr German colonies by virtue of the joint victory of the Allied, armies in the World War.

The State Department which has been following the situation closely was reported to-day to be prepare i to act in harmony with the Lengue of Nations and also, individually because the matter of the mandates was first announced by the late president, speaking on behalf of the Allies six days prior to the Armistice, invited the Germans to lay down their arms on certain stated conditions, which were con tained in the Wilson Fourteen Points. Point five of that declara: tion referred to the agreement of the Allies to adjust all colonial claims with an open mind,

The vital need that Great Britain should take the lead in establish- ing täre air-routes of the Empire and the obvious impossibility of such a task being carried to success from the begin ning on ordinary commercial lines

The recommendation was the Allies and not to the League. that a single organisation should be created, secured with a privileg ed position in regard to subsidy for a term of years.

Combination of Four.

So it was that Imperial Airways came into being as a combination of the four companies than in existence Handley-Page Trans port, Instone Air Line. Daimler, Airways and British Maring Air Navigation,

The task set before Imperial Airways was to develop the Empika air routes and to make air trans. port a self-supporting industry as soon as possible, and in order to ensure steady progress and off ciency the subsidy paid by the Government

was fixed diminishing scale.

Taking 1926 as the first in ity effective history, the progress to wards making civil aviation a com marcial proposition has been truly remarkable. It was early dis- covered that small-scale operation with small feet units could never be made profitable, and the terme of the original agreement with the Government were altered to enable developments to proceed on bolder

lines.

The success of this policy is illustrated by a comparison of the cost of providing a "capacity ton mile" (capacity of the aircraft multiplied by the mileage flown)

it is understood that, the Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, in his protest will recognise that the Lea gue was the distributing agent and that United States approved, the mandate to Japan although appro- val was withheld until the. Wash ington Conference in 1922. At that time, the. United States accepted Japan's position at handatory.

It was said to-day that Mr. Hull holds that America's acceptance of Japan's position did not depend on whether Japan remained in the League of Nations,

It was also reported that the Ad ministration would be quite satis fied if the mandatsa are returned to the League but experts have pointed out that the Covenant, while providing for the well-being of the mandates, did not provide for their return to the League This would present an intricate legal problem, it was said to-day...
