Modern architects today are
literally turning houses inside
out and outside in"
On this page is another ex-
ample of how architects are
changing traditional concepts of
what homes should look like
and what they should do for us.
Almost every one knows by
this time that a characteristic
goal of the modern architect is
a desire to open up the house
he designs to the setting which
surrounds it.
If there is a good view, win
dows are placed to take advan-
tage of it. If there is to be a
garden, large windows are used
as a means of making it seem
to be part of the house. In
some cases, such glass is made
at least partially movable, so
that the garden terrace actually
becomes a usable part of the
living room.
To understand what is behind
the trend of literally bringing
the outside inside" you have
only to realize that as architects
have adopted their new concept
about the outdoors, they have,
at the same time, developed
more and more unusual ways
to make it work for them.
Conceiving the outdoors not
as something from which to
shield the occupants of the
house but rather as something
which the occupants should be
permitted to enjoy, the modern
architect thus employs a wider
and wider variety of schemes
and devices to bring aspects OF
the exterior right into the house.
For the house on this page,

BY KATSUO OKAZAKI

During the five years since the
beginning of the Occupation. great
changes have taken place in the at
titude of the Allied Powers toward
the japanese peace treaty question
At first there was considerable
talk about having the peace treaty
provide for the continuation of dis
armament and the establishment of
an Allied supervisory organ in thi-
country.
Such talk, however, has now died
down and Japan has come to be re-
cognized as fully qualified to reen-
ter the Family of Nations as a mem
Der of the democratic community.
From the very outset. the two
leading Allied Powers, the United
States and the Soviet Union, have
differed with each other on the pro-
cedure and makeup of the Japaness
peace conference.
Time as well as effort on the part
of the Western Powers. especially
the United States, have not sue
ceeded in resolving these differ
ences sufficiently to bring about the
convocation of an overall peace con-
ference.
In September of last year, how
ever, the United States, Great Bri-
tain and France decided that such
state of affairs should not be left
as it was.
They came around to the view
that they should proceed to hold
a peace conference among all like
minded nations if the Soviet Union
should continue to block the hold
ing of an overall conference by re-
fusing to come to agreement on pro-
cedTe and makeup
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1950-11-29

Even in the past, conflicting views
and interests among the victorious
powers have blocked agreement on
peace treaty issues. A good exam
Pile is the peace settlement between
Germany and the Allies after World
War l.
Contrary to popular belief, the
Versailles Treaty was not an over
all peace treaty between Germany
and the Allies, for it did not in
clude either the United States or
China, both major World War I
Allies.
The United States government
found itself powerless to adhere to
the treaty as result of the Senate's
refusal to approve the provisions
in it relating to the League of Ma
tions. China refused to affix her
signature to the treaty on the
ground that the settlement of the
Shantung issue as set forth in it
was unsatisfactory.
The Versailles Treaty. therefore
was a majority peace between Ger
many and the Allies excepting the
United States and China.
1t was two years later, after re-
peated negotiations that the Uni
ted States finally concluded a peace
treaty with Germany. The same
was true in the case of China.
When the leading nations of the
world are involved in a war. de-
velopmentS of this nature are likely
to take place during the process OF
peace-making.
Even if the Soviet Union and
Communist China should not be
among the initial parties to the
japanese peace settlement, chances
are not slight that they will accede
to it later-as has been done by
other nations in past instances.
We are confident that if a fair
and just peace treaty comes into
being, all the nations of the world
will eventually accede to it.
Nippon Times
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1950-11-29

Approximately so nations enter
ed into state of war with japan.
Among them are the Soviet Union
and eight other Communist coun-
tries: seven in Eastern Europe and
one Communist China in East
Asia. The remaining 40-odd ma
tions are members of the democra-
tic bloc.
Should, therefore, Japan sign a
peace treaty with the non-Commu-
mist nations who took part in the
war against apan, she would even
tually be able to enjoy peacetime
relations with the other members
of the democratic bloc as we'll and
also with the 20 some nations who
because they either were neutrals
or have established since the end
of World ibid not enter into a
state of war with Japan. This
would make a total of about so ma
tionS.
If we should wait until all the
nations concerned reached suffi-
Gent unanimity of view on the
peace treaty, there is no telling how
long we would have to go without
one.
Should, however we decide for
the time being to conclude a peace
treaty with all nations in agreement
with one another on the matter
an early peace would be possible.
And, as a reuslt, we would be able
to enjoy peacetime relations with
about go of the 70 nations of the
world This would constitute a
m jority peace.
1t is our hope that this early, ma
iority peace, i.e peace as soon as
possible with as many as possible
will be realized; and it is in this
direction that we are exerting our
efforts

mans life.
