New, Softer Policy
Toward Japan Denied
By Gen. Macarthur
BY the A,,oeiofsd Press

TOKYO, Oct. 19.-Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters described to-
night As a complete fallacy" any
suggestion that the United States
has adopted a new, softer policy
toward Japan.
The statement, issued by spokes-
man for Gen. Macarthur, was
prompted by the repercussions Of
an American British Russian clash
in the Allied Control Council on
Wednesday.
At that meeting, the Russian
member requested information on
what the Japanese government had
done about election law violations.
Ambassador George G. Atcheson,
jr, Gen. MacArthur's political ad-
wiser and chairman Of the council,
replied that the elections last April
were fair and honest, that the jap
anese government should be COM
pNmented on them. and added:
The time has come when jap
anese AIMS are practically synon-
ymous with Allied aims"
CHALLENGED by Briton.
w. MacMahon Ball, British Com
monwealth member, challenged this
Immediately as expressions OF cor
diality and confidence towards the
present Japanese government" with
which II should not wish to identify
myself"
A State Department press officer
in Washington yesterday said Mr..
Atcheson's remarks did not consti-
tute 4 change in American policy
and that Mr.. Atcheson had denied
any such Interpretation.
Tonight's statement by Mac
Arthur spokesman followed receipt
here of a copy Of the New York
Herald Tribune in which Mr.. Atcre-
son was criticized editorially on the
grounds of taking sides with the
Japanese against the Allies.
Macarthur Aides Note Editorial.
While the spokesman made no
mention of this editorial, it was
known that 1t had come to the at
tention of persons close to Gen.
Macarthur and undoubtedly had
been shown to Gen. Macarthur and
Mr.. Atcheson.
Ambassador Atcheson merely
noted with satisfaction that Japa-
nese aims to accomplish the prin-
ciples of the occupation were now

sY tho As.eeioted Prsss

SHANGHAI. Oct. 19.-The chief

tor agreed tonight to resume peace
discussions with the government, but
q top-level council -of-war among
government military leaders In Pei

Many Shanghai Chinese main

ment armies already were driving
southwark from Peiping towards
Communist-besieged Paoting in a
large-scale campaign designed to
free that city and reopen the vital
north-south Peiping -Hankow rail-
way.
Other Generals Attend.
The conference at Peiping was
called by Gen. Chen Cheng, govern
ment chief of staff, and terse an
nouncement said 1t was attended by
very high military authority
from Nanking" (This individual
was not otherwise identified, but
the only military authority higher
than the chief of staff would be
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
himself.)
Other generals named as attend
ing included Flu Tso-yi- conqueror
of Kalgan and governor of Chahar
province; Tu Li-ming, commandant
for Manchuria; Chao CHA -hsiang,
his chief OF staff; Wang Yao-wu,
commandant of the Kiangsu area,
and Cheng Chieh-min, government

cutting short a vacation at Tsingtao.
This unprecedented and speedy
gathering led observers to conjecture
that China's immediate future
peace or war-would be determined

looked like war.
Chang Agrees to Return.
A few hours after dissemination
Of this news, Communist Gen. Chou
En-lai, who has been living in
Shanghai since peace negotiations
broke down in Marking several
weeks ago. announced that he had
agreed to return to the govern
ment capital to resume talks.
There was no ostensible connec-
tion between the two events. Mem
bers Of the Democratic League and
other minority parties, aided by
government representatives, had
been trying for some days to in
duce Gen. Chou to return to Man.

In announcing that Chou would
return on Monday, a Communist
spokesman emphasized that none

"This was grossly misinterpreted
as in some way implying some un-

such basic policies. The verbatim
record of the proceedings, which is
publicly available, clearly shows the
complete fallacy Of such concept" !"
Meritorious Actions Noted.
The spokesman went on to say
that expressions which he (Atche-
