Japanese business and industry
The General won't even settle for

mains with them. Another 5.000.-
900 are returning from ocerseas--

lies the danger from a relaxed
control. No civilian commission
could cope with this potential Of
chaos, recrimipation and revolu-
ton. Especially is this forecast
possible IL a Korean patriot in
Japan should assassinate the Emp
error and the Crown Prince.
I'm wondering whether Sir
George SAMSON and an American
commission member, DR.. George H.

handling OF the foregoing problem

The American delegation could
have had one or two authorities on

Byrnes was too absorbed in Mos

overlooked in the assignment to
Tokyo.

The wife just smiled and said
in her sweetest tones:
"If I'm not mistaken, you said
something the other day about all
