TENSITY OF YAP QUESTION REVEALED IN CORRESPONDENCE

Willing To Give Way
(By International N>w( Srrrlce.)
Washington, April 18.—The tensity of the situation existing lietween the United Statea and Japan over the island of Vap was revealed offlcioUy for the flrst time today, when the State De¬ partment made i)Ublic tho entire corres¬ pondence between the two governments, con.sisting of three American and, two Jap.T.nese notes, exchanged during the la.st .six months.
Thia correspontlence, which la dis¬ tinctly curt in tone, reveals that each government has .stood solidly on its original poaition, and that each ha.s so far flatly refused to give way in the alighte.st to the contentions of the other.
The L'nited Stntes la adamant In its refu.sal to concede that Japan in en¬ titled to o:tclU8lve |>oaaes8lon of the small, but highly ijnpor-tant laland, and .Tnpan baa clung .stubbornly to the po¬ sition that Vap was awardM to her by the Allied Supreme Council, and that the matter Is thus ja cloaed chapter, so far aa America la concerned.
The la.st communication from Japan under tlate of February, 28—Just on the eve of the retirement of the Wilson ad¬ ministration—Is rather sliarp in tenor, and In apota inclines to l>e !M>mewhat ironical.

He .said that under the new law, which becanie operative on Aiiril I, ev« ery citizen was charged with a certain obligation as to the enforcement and he said that a complaint, put in wiit- ing and presented to the ofllcer. wa.s sufflcient reaaon for the offlcer to lake the proper stefis against the place com. plained of. "And you must act," atldt^d M r. Weeks.
"If you flnd any llijuor being tnins. iwrted illegally, which means without li Kcdi'ral |H'i-mit." he said, "you take il and hold 11. Take the vehicle also and bolt! that until the owner gives n Imnd for It in twice the amount of Its value."
The prosecutor .said that offlcers hero abouts would ntit find any legally mixn. ulaifured liquor hence any evidence of manufacturing was sufflcient reason li> lause arrests and for the tonrtscalion of the "booze."
Legal Sales Heflned
District Attorney Weeks also dediirrtl hat there could be no legal s.-ile of iiiuor unless it were .sales of n. drug¬ gist on a doctor's prescription .tiiiI in uell cases both druggiaf and the doctor must show their book.s of record when the offlcer demantled.
That District Attorney Weeks bieana lo have this cniuity ns bone-dry as it Is possible to make It waa evident by his admonitioiis to lhe officers to get those who offended. He look oii-asion fo--i)oinl out what would happen If of. ficera failed fo find olTeiiih'r.s, if miy exj.-led.
"This law does not |>reacribi! any new penalties for failure bf offlcers to do tluir ilufy but all fhe oltl ones under fhe iienal code hold good," said .Mr. Weeks, "and if we find that any offlx^ep doe.s not tlo all the iluly that the law rmts uiwn him w^e will ask for his in¬ dictinent by the Grand Jury and .start proceedings lo remove him from offlce."
"This ia not a threat. iAf*«'nsk you to come to lis in a siiiril of co-openition, but if we t)nil any one not doing IiIn duty T\e will ask hia indictment.
