Shigemitsu Resigns
As Foreign Minister,

Post Is Said to Have
Been Given to Former
Ambassador to London
Ey the Associated Press.

TOKYO, Sept. 17.-Well-in-
formed japanese sources report
ed that Foreign Minister Mamoru
Shigemitsu, chief signatory of
Japan's surrender, resigned to-
night and was succeeded by
Shigeru YoShida, former Ambas-
sador to London.
Yoshida, who lives in Oiso, was in
formed of his appointment by tele-
phone and he accepted, but it was
too late for him to come to Tokyo
tonight.
The same Japanese sources said
Shigemitsu's resignation was re-
ouested by Premier Prince Naru-
hiko Higashi-Kuni because "the first
stage of the Allied occupation is
concluded"
Shigemitsu had served in one of
the wartime cabinets of Hideki TOTO
and also in that of Kuniaki Koiso
and was considered to be responsible
for many of Tojo's policies in China.
OSk DCC1llACu ny
These sources said Shigemitsu was
appointed to the Higashi- -Kuni cab
met because his past experience was
necessary, since the cabinet was
formed rather hastily in order to
meet the requirements of the Pots
dam Declaration.
These sources said the Premier
first asked Hachiro Arita, career
diplomat and former Foreign Min
lister, to accept the post, but that
Arita declined.
Shortly after Gen. MacArthur's
announcement listing suspected war
criminals whom he wished to ques-
ton, Higashi-Kuni held an extraord-
mary cabinet meeting which con-
sidered what attitude to take" con-
corning the naming of Tojo's entire
Pearl Harbor" cabinet on the list.
Well-informed japanese said at
that time that Higashi-Kuni frank
ly asked the cabinet members to
consider their own past careers "and
determine whether they would be
acceptable to the Americans"
Long and Stormy Career.
ShigemitSu has had a long and
somewhat stormy career as an in
ternational diplomat. He is So years
old.
He lost his right leg in 1882 at
Shanghai when Korean national-
ist tossed a bomb into the midst of
an official Japanese party.
Competent japanese sources said
that it was partly because of this
injury that Shigemitsu insisted on
going directly to bed in the Imperial
Hotel Immediately after signing the
surrender aboard the Battleship
Missouri.

YugosIavs Present
Their Border Claims
Al Big Five Farley
9,000-Word Memo Seeks
Trieste, Venezio GiuIio
And DoImotiun Islands
By the Associatee Press.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Yugo-
slav Embassy today published a
9,000-word memorandum back
ing its claim to disputed Trieste,
the province of Venezia Giulia
and the Dalmatian Islands,
which 1t will present to the Big
Five foreign ministers here this
afternoon.
The Italians and five British
dominions also will put forward
their views on the controversial
Italian -Yugoslav frontier problem,
which has been a constant source
of dispute through two wars.
The boundary sought by the
Yugoslavs runs about 40 miles west
of Trieste to the town of Monfal-
cone. (Trzic in Slovene).
The Yugoslav document, which
will be backed by arguments from
Vice Premier Edward Karelj, head
of the Belgrade delegation, declared

Italians Prepare Counterclaims.
The Italians have prepared
counterclaims although they are ex-
pected to concede the Yugoslavs the
port of Fiume.
Representatives of Italy and
Yugoslavia, as we'll as five British
dominions, were ready to enter the
hitherto closed doors of the confer
ence room to argue their cases.
The discussions were scheduled
against a background of tense
power politics. The question re-
fleets whole panorama of divergent
big power views and many delegates
have expressed the opinion that the
decision on the Italian -YugoSlav
border is closely linked to the out
come of the tug of war for control
of Central Europe.
At this point there appears to be
agreement among the Big Five for
eign ministers on only one aspect
of the boundary dispute-that the
port of Trieste should be ruled so
it can serve Czechoslovakia, Austria
and Poland as wen as Italy and
Yugoslavia.
Free Port Arrangement.
This would mean either a free port
arrangement or Observation-Disclosures
of the port itself.
On the administration of the
city of Trieste the Istrian Penin-
sula and the whole province of
Venezia Giulia, however, there is
a basic conflict.
The Yugoslavs claim all this ter
ritory. The Italians claim the same
area, which was their before the
recent war, although apparently
they are willing to concede small
changes of the border, probably
leaving Fiume to Yugoslavia.
The Russians are expected to sup
port the Yugoslavs, while the
