Senator Hickenlooper - And
have we-has it become our pol.
icy-communicated to the Japa.
neSe and other participating ma.
tions that we do not want tt
include the Question Of military
alliances or military bases ir
Japan in a peace treaty?
Mr.. Acheson-I think in the
outline of the treaty which has
been made public, 1t provides that
the matter of the security o1
Japan should be the subject Of
a separate tweaty between the
United States. Japan and, posi-
bly,, some other countries.
Agreement Among Allies.
Senator Hiekenlooper Are
our Allies. the occupying powers
in Japan-that is, those who COM
pose the committee or the group
of rations that are in SCAP-are
they all agreed that we should
not place economic restrictions on
construction of business in Japan
the building Of ships and the tex
tile field, and other things Of that
kind?
Mr.. AcheSon-Final agreement
of those matters has not yet been
worked out. We have had a great
many preliminary talks and I
think we have made excellent
progress. and I see no difficulties
in the way Of working out the
accord with most of the countries
concerned.
Publication of the Soviet note
to us and our reply to them indi-
Gates that ther, may be difficulty
in that area.
But these are matters that are
now all under discussion. In fact,
Mr.. Dulles is leaving today to go
to London and Paris to discuss
them; and ! should not like to
anticipate his discussions.
Senator Hickenlooper . Sup
pose we forced upon the japanese
a treaty which restricted their
industrial operations in the
extent to which they could de-
velop worldwide textile business
if they wanted to, and matters of
that kind, and compelled them to
take it. 1t is my feeling that they
would not like it; they might
have to take it, but they would
not like it.
But if Russia, for instance,
stayed out of that treaty and then
came along at a later date and
said to Japan, Look. We will
a treaty with you with
out any restrictions on it, we will
a peace treaty with you
without any restrictions on it
whatsoever, industrially or other
wise. We will permit you to de-
velop all the industries you want.
We will join with Red China and
we will give you access to all of
the raw materials you want" is
1t not possible that the japanese,
Il they had been forced to accept
peace treaty which they be-
lieved put what they believe to
be burdensome limitations on
hem by us and other allies. that
hey would have a great tendency
% orient themselves toward Rus
ia and Red China because of an
Unlimited and uninhibited peace
reaty. together with the Gus
omary promises of raw materials |
md full cooperation in manufac-
uring and sales and all of those
hings?
Acheson.-I think, Senator, that
10Th Mr. Dulles and I have made
'ery clear the reasons why we
hink such treaty would be most
and I think it would have
adverse effects. I think that is
for me to say about the
situation at the present time.
Senator Hickenlooper. - Would
Tou care to comment on this ques-
ion . that the British thus far
1ave eben quite adamant in their
demands that economic restric-
ions be put on Japan in any
'eace treaty that is developed?
AcheSon.-I think I should limit
myself to saying that I don't
hink that is a correct statement
# the British position.
