nese modified slightly in a second
trial plan" Hull and Nomura held
the first talks on April 16.
Konoye's description of this pro-
gram said it was based upon an
American promise to help obtain
Chungking's agreement to peace
in Chins.
Settlement Of the China HOSTILE
ties was proposed as being vital
for Japan and for American-Ja pa-
nese reapproachment.
The plan provided for Japan and
America to guarantee the indepen-
dence of China. Japan was to with
draw her troops from Chinese terri
tory biased on an agreement to
be formed between Japanese and
Chinese" There would be no an
nexation Of Chinese territory, no
reparations, revival Of the open
door policy, union Of the Chang
and Wang regimes (Chungkink and
the Japanese-sponsored puppet
government), self restriction by
Japan of immigration of Japanese
into. Chinese territory, and Ameri-
can recognition of Manchoukuo. the
state which Japan had established
in Manchuria.
The plan further agreed that
America and Japan will not posi-
ton naval and air strength which
would mutually threaten the other
xxx when the agreement is reached
in the Japanese-American nego-
tiations the two nations will dis
patch fleets to visit the other for

peace in the Pacific"
OF high Importance to JAPAN was
Konoye's statement that If an under
standing were reached, there would
be mutual exchange of necessary
materials. He said it would pro-
vide that the United States should

and cooperation in the production

area such as petroleum, rubber,
tin, nickel, and others.
The two countries would jointly
guarantee the independence of the
Philippines, wrote Konoye, and
Japanese Immigrants to the United
States and the southwest Pacific
would be considered in a friendly
manner or be given the same treat
ment Of non.discrimination and
equality as other nations
The plan proposed, he added,
that Japanese-American converse

TOKYO, Dec. 17-(R-Top Japa-
nese officials accepted '.in princi-
par IN American compromise plan
to solve differences with Japan
eight months before Pearl Harbor
but 1t was blocked by Foreign
Minister Yosuke Matsuoka because
he was in "a bad mood" Prince
Fumimaro Konoye declared in
memoirs completed shortly before
his suicide yesterday.
The plan was approved in gener.
al by leaders who included the
War and Navy ministers, only to
be stalled by the sole opposition
Of Matsuoka until it was made
useless by misunderstanding and
deteriorations Of relations, Ko-
noye wrote in his lengthy political
testament detailing Japan's side
of the negotiations which proceed
ed the war.
Subsequently, however, Konoye
referred to the military as regard
ing the deal as a temporary ex-
pedient.
The Associated Press obtained the
Konoye memoirs in Japanese three
days before his suicide. They are
being translated, and copies are in
the hands of Joseph B. keenan,, U.
S. special prosecutor of top war
crimes cases in Japan.
Konoye, the Prince who was
three times his country's premier,
the last time in the tense summer
OF 1941, reported:
/. The late President Roosevelt
suggested a tentative date-some
time in October-and a place,
possibly Juneau, Alaska, for a per-
sonal meeting with Konoye to dis
cuss peace. Ut was in midi October,
however, that Japan by an i'm
perial conference decision began
preparing for war, and Gen. Hideki
TOTO notified Konoye it was time
for his cabinet to resign. Toto
succeeded him.
2. Japanese naval leaders were
fearful Of Pacific war but un-
willing to oppose officially the
Arrny's demand for it.
3. The then Foreign Minister
Matsuoka was blamed by Konove
suffering from Jingoism and pro-
Gerlnanism plus "a bad mood
which led to sabotaging accept.
ance of the compromise plan.
(Matsuiko, WAC also has been
listed as a war criminal suspect
by General Macarthur, held the
view, Konoye said, as far back
as May, 1s41. that Roosevelt had
already decided on United States
entry into the European wary.
