A WEIGHTY MATTER
BARON KATO'S VIEWS.
(AUSTRALIAN • NEW Z2AUND CABLI ASSOCIATION.)
TOKIO, 28th April. Boron Kato, in an interview, declared that while Yap was a weighty matter, a solution of the question could not be expected, from Mr. Hara's Government. Japan could never bear to be robbed of the mandate, which had been properly accorded her. Baron Kato said he believed that America was bringing pressure to bear over Yap because she disliked the Japanese activities in Siberia, and because America over-estimated Japan's power. The newspaper Nichi Nichi Shimbun states that the Government has agreed) to withdraw from Siberia in principle, but the Foreign Office has disagreed! concerning the proper time for the withdrawal.
(Received April 30, 12.30 p.m.) YOKOHAMA, 29th April. The newspaper Asahi declares. that the Cabinet has decided to give the Japanese Natural Department the control of the administration of Yap. Baron Kato, in a speech in the Diet, derided the Ministry for its constant talk of friendship toward other countries when Japan'fc rights were being trampled on.
