UN General Assembly

61. The San Francisco Treaty makes it more difficult for the Japanese people to secure the democratization of their country and develop the peace economy of Japan. It will lead to the transformation of Japan into a country dependent on foreign monopolies, will make it impossible for the Japanese people to develop their welfare and will impede the development of their material and spiritual forces. 62. This, however, was not the object of the inspirers of the treaty — the Anglo-American monopolists. They needed the treaty solely in order to legalize their way to a military alliance between the American monopolists and the Japanese militarists. Such a treaty cannot and will not serve the cause of peace. Rejected by the USSR and by the People’s Republic of China, India and Burma — the countries most interested in a peaceful settlement with Japan — the peace treaty signed at San Francisco will remain a dead letter.
