Reviews Treaty Features.
Mr.. Dulles reviewed the major
features of the treaty.
/ He said that occupation troops
are supposed to be out of the
country 80 days after the signing
Iof the treaty. But he said that
the japanese felt it would be
costly and dangerous to remove
troops and bring them back in"
He said these were the neces-
sary things to do to restore peace
honestly" in Japan "in this kind
Iof a world"
He pointed out that nearly two
thirds of the peoples at the San
Francisco Conference have col
lective security arrangements
with the United States.
This voluntary collective Sc
curity must be Japan's own
choice he said, and mo one be-
lieves that Japan seeks collective
security with the United States
because it Isl coerced."
Any nation that seeks to deny
Japan collective security and
make Japan stand alone is a con-
niver of aggression" he stated
firmly
No MiIitarization Planned.
The United States has made a
tremendous moral investment in
Japan, the ambassador said. cit
shows clearly by acts and deeds
that we do not seek to militariZe
Japan"
OF trade. he said Japan is not
restricted her economy is totally
unrestricted. Each Allied power
will, be entitled to favorite nation
treatment.
On reparations, he said claims
totaling many billions of dollars
have been made against Japan.
He said Japan has been 81 bill
lion short on enough funds to sup
ply food for her own people, but
the United States is entitled to
look forward to the time Japan
will be self supporting.
If the treaty kept alive military
reparations against Japan. he
said, totalitarian demogogues
would rise up.
On the formula of reparationsI
through japanese finishing of raw
material supplied by claimants.
he mentioned the Philippines and
Indonesia which were occupied by
Japan. He said that the matter
of reparations should be explored
SO that ideals of justice are full
filed.
Compensation for Prisoners.
Article Is, he said, makes COM
pensation for prisoners of war
who suffered undue hardship.
Other nations can defer a.
Chinese peace with Japan until
a government possessing authori-
ty speaks for China, he COM
mented, but it would be cruel to
penaliZe Japan because of a civil
war in China.
In Article 26 China is given a.
right to sign peace with Japan
on the same terms as in the pres
ent proposed treaty, Mr.. Dulles
said. The Allies are taking moth
ing in this treaty which they do
not reserve also for China.
1t preserves in full the rights of
China as one of the victors in the
war against Japan.
Mr.. Dulles conceded that no
one was completely satisfied but
asserted it was good treaty and
did not contain the seeds of an
other war.
Notes Cultural Heritage.
Mr.. Dulles stated Japan has a.
great culture and tradition cap
able of producing those measures
which all nations must do if there
is to be a worldwide common
wealth of peace. There lis vigor-
Gus growth of freed institutions
and social progress, he said.
II. Japan's hopes of peace are
long deferred, he said, free insti-I
tutions could not flourish, it would
lose self-respect and retard JUS
tice. TT is time to end the occupa-
tion," he said.
"It is time to welcome Japan
to the honorable family of na-
tionS."
No nation is bound to sign the
treaty, he advised.
This is no conference which
wields legal compulsion.
THE only compulsion is that of
