Nippon Unwilling
To Become Part
OF Pacific Fact

LOS ANGELES, Aug. l3-Tetsu
Katayama. first postwar premier OF
Japan, stated here that his country
did not wish to become part of a
Pacific Atlantic Pact. comparable
to the North Atlantic Alliance.
Japan has renowned arms as
means Of obtaining her indie
pendence," Katayama said. "Her
only chance Of survival Is in
peaceful world which places en-
phasis on the moral and spiritual
values Of life"
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
recently proposed that Pacific
Alliance be set up to stop the ad-
vance of Communism In the Far
East.
Katayama, chairman of the Social
Democratic Party of Japan, also
noted that Communism has made
gains in Japan but he believes the
trend from now on will be away from
Communism.
He said that political faith in his
country changes with the island
empires economic status and that
the economy is on the rapid up
grade.
He also said that Japan Is eager
for an early peace conference and
permanent settlement of her post
war status.

In Washington President Truman
said that he would sign an order for
Macarthur to return any time the
occupation commander wanted to re-
turn. Truman said that only an or
der from himself could bring Mac
Arthur home, and that he would not
take such action unless Macarthur
himself desired return to the United
States.
Macarthur made his position clear
after Senator Knowland (R., CalifD
had introduced resolution in WASH
ington to have Macarthur return
and state his views on the foreign
arms aid bill.
Defense Secretary Johnson earlier
had indicated he was not in favor of
the generals return.
Macarthur feels that the wartime
neglect of the Pacific in favor of
Europe has been mistakenly carried
over into peacetime planning. He
has consistently requested more
troops for Japan and feels that the
U. S. is not doing enough for Korea
where the Communist northern re-
gme stands as constant threat to
the American backed southern re-
public.
Last March Macarthur had stated
that I'VE would defend Japan in the
event of attack" He outlined an
American Pacific defense line, start
ing in the Philippines and continu-
ng through the Ryukyus, Japan, the
Aleutians and Alaska.
