Treaty

japanese peace treaty is major
task in the drive to build the free
worlds defenses. While restoring
Japan's independence, it would
permit Japan to rearm and sign
a projected Japanese-American
agreement to station United States
forces in Japan after the occupa-

That is why these officials ex-
pect Russia to put up a stiff
fight against the pact.
Secretary of State Acheson and
his aides, in close cooperation
with British Delegate Kenneth

have worked out an elaborate bat

campaign by Soviet Delegate An

Surprise Play Possible.
Concern with possible Russian
efforts to knot the conference in
long debate and thereby wreck the
treaty has, in fact, dominated
their preconference planning. Yet
some of Mr.. Acheson's advisers dc
not entirely rule out the chance
that Mr.. Gromyko may pull a
surprise play, lay down concil-

jectionS and reservations, conceiv-
ably sign the treaty.
At the other extreme it is con-
sidered possible the Russians may
threaten prolonged war in Korea
and raise the specter of World
War III if the United States and
nations friendly to it persist in
concluding with Japan a treaty
to which Russia objects and in
which RussiaSs ally, Red China,

Text of Truman Address
Opening Bond Compoiqn

The tert of President Tru-
mans address from San Fran
cisco opening the Nation -1pide
defense bond driue tolloUs::
Six years ago, here in San Fran
cisco, the United Nations was
formed. 1t was our purpose then
to prevent another world war.
That is still our purpose.
The United Nations was estab-
liShed to unite the moral forces
of the world for peace, and to
organize the strength of many ma
tions to keep the peace.
In these last six years, there
have been many difficulties and
distractions. But today the
United Nations is doing exactly
what it was set up to do.
When aggression broke out in
Korea, the United Nations took
action. 1t labeled the aggression
for what it was, and it branded
the North Korean and Chinese
Communists as the aggreSsors. 1t
called upon peace-loving coun-
tries to unite and put down the
aggression.
That is what we have been do
ing. Young men from the United
States have been fighting heroic
ally. alongside young men from
many other countries, to stop ag-
gresSion in Korea. For they know,
and we know, that if aggression
were not checked in Korea it
would only be a matter of time
until a new world war brought
destruction and misery to all of us.
For the past several weeks
there have been negotiations in
Korea. at the suggestion of the
Communist aggressors, for an
armistice there as the first step
to a peaceful settlement. Recent
1y the Communists have broken
of these negotiations. We do not
know whether they intend to re-
sumo them. We are ready at any
time to reach an honorable set
tlement in Korea, but We will not
give in to aggression.
Whether negotiations In Korea
are successful or not, we must
continue to drive ahead to build
defensive strength for our coun-
try and the free world. The plain
fact is that the Communists may
try to resume the offensive in
Korea at any time. Moreover,
they are capable of launching new
attacks in Europe, in the Middle
East or elsewhere in Asia, wher-
ever it suits them.
That is what makes it so vital
that we build our defenSes-and
build them fast.
Right now our defense effort
is beginning to roll. We have
been tooling up for large-scale
production of new airplaneS, tanks
and weapons of all types. We
have a lot of new developments
that we are putting into produc-
tion-ranging from faster jet
planes to lighter equipment for
our foot soldiers.
These things take materials
and manpower. And they cost
money.
That is where this Savings
d Bond campaign comes in. All of
you, I know, want to help in the
defense of our country.
People sometimes say to me,
"I want to help in the defense
effort, but I don't know what I
can do. Can you tell me?"
Tonight, am telling you about
something everybody can do. This

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. A.
This golden gate to the Orient
made its peace with the japanese
long before diplomats started
talking about a treaty.
Never before has there been
such good feelings between Jap
anese and Caucasians in San
Francisco.
1t was vastly different when
bombs rained down on Pearl Har-
Dor December 7, 1941. Feeling
ran high against the japanese
here, although many were native
born Americans or "Nisei."
More than 10000 Japanese
Immediately were evacuated from
the West Coast, $500 from San
Francisco alone. They were sent
to relocation centers, far from
military installations. ports and
factories subject to sabotage.
Even those who had only partial
Japanese ancestry were included
in those rounded up by the Army.
The first to return from the
camps arrived in San Francisco
January 2. 1945 - just eight
months before Japan formally sur
rendered.
There were no incidents then.
There have been few since.
War Changes Attitude.
The Japanese themselves say
this era of good feeling is, ironi-
cally. direct result of the war
American soldiers have visited
our country on occupation duty,
they tell you. 'They have found
that we. as people, aren't the
shifty characters some prejudiced
people would have you think"
The gallant exploits of Nisei
soldiers in World War II was
Ianother factor in eliminating
much racial prejudice.
City officials say there is yet
another reason:
Before the war, Japanese COM
munities were "cloSed corpora
tions." For the most part the
Japanese lived in their own dis
trict. minded their own business,
and had little contact with Cau-
casians.
When they came back from re-
location centers six years ago,
they tried to pick up the old life,
but they couldn't. Other races
had moved in on their domain.
AS a result they have scattered.
They have been assimilated into
neighborhoods that never knew
japanese resident before Pearl
Harbor.
Fewer Language Schools.
In prewar days there were six
japanese language schools in San
Francisco alone. Today there are
only two.
I. Motaki, secretary of the Jap
anese Chamber of Commerce Of
Northern California. believes these
last two eventually will close.
Most of the japanese in the
United States are second or third
generation Americans" Mr.. Mo-
TAXI said. The children all go to
public schools. The japanese Ian
guage lessons are just chore they
don't like. Only few attend reg
Iularly."
According to Mr.. Motaki, two
thirds of the japanese in the
United States are American citi-
lzenS.

The President was introduced
over the radio by Secretary of the
Treasury John Snyder.
Speaking from Grand Rapids,
Mr.. Snyder told Americans your
purchases of defense bonds will
be building power for the Nation
not only military power and
economic power but also purchas-
Ing power for your future"
In San Francisco, the Presi-

visit San Francisco became an
American citizen.
He was Heco Hikozo, 14-year-
old fisherman on a boat wrecked
in a storm in the early 1840s. An
American ship picked up the sur
vivors. The captain took fancy
to Hikozo and took the lad with
him around Cape Horn to New
England. Hikozo was naturalized
in Maryland in 1847.
In 1849 he came to San Fran
cisco to make his fortune in the
gold rush. He must have done
all right. He went back to Japan
in 1851 or 1852 and started that
Icountry's first newspaper. Later
he served as official interpreter
for Commodore Matthew Perry
during the talks in 1855 and 1854
which opened Japan to the out
side world.
He was followed to America by
thousands of others. BY 1906 there
were 10000 japanese in California.
Most of them came only to make
enough money to retire-back in
Japan.

About As per cent of the Japa-
nese in California today work on
farms. Others are employed as
domestics and Office workers.
Jack YamaSaki, manager of a
local japanese employment bu-
Ireau, says the demand for all
TYPES of Japanese workers is
greater than the supply.
i Many japanese have developed
prosperous businesses. Others
are farming thousands of acres of
| California'S rich soil.
, If it was tough to leave their
homes for relocation centers when
the war started, it was almost as
tough for the Japanese to return
to their homes.
l When the Government sudden
ly ruled that they could leave the
camps, many japanese were
frightened.
! Rumors had been spreading
for months: They would be black
listed for jobs. Their homes would
be burned. Their children would
be stoned. The death march of
Bataan had turned all other
Americans against them.

You can help to defend your

Savings Bonds.
At the same time, you will be
putting aside money, at time
when goods are becoming scarcer,
which will be available later on
when goods are more plentiful.
1t will be a backlog to meet emer-
gencies, to finance the education
of your children or to purchase a
home, and to provide for a more
comfortable old age.
The savings bonds you buy will
be bonds for freedom. And they
will be bonds for your personal
future. I ask each of you to back
the defense drive to the limit by
buying extra bonds and by help
ing to sell bonds to others.
