1912. Since it was the Nation
alist government which partici-
pated in that ceremony. Japan
was willing to take advantage
of that loophole and re-establish
formal relations with the gov
ernment now in Formosa instead
of that at Peiping.
Mr.. Dulles added that from
the point of view of economic
relations. Japan realized that
at present Formosan exports
rice, sugar, salt and tea
would be helpful to her. The
Formosan government could abb
sorb some of Japan's industrial
prdoucts, at least during the
time when japanese industries
had not resumed their full out
put. Mr.. Yoshida and the cabi-
net we're aware that trading
with the Communists meant
also importing a number of
subversive agents to spur the
Communist movement In Japan.
These imports" are highly un-
welcome in a country which
still feels the effects of the war
and whose economy is unlikely
to return to normal for some
time.
There is not the slightest
reason to doubt Mr.. Dulles
frankness nor the fact that the
Japanese government had in
tended to live up to its prom
iSes.
But nothing happened after
the Diet ratified the treaty. In
an exchange Of views between
Toyko and Taipeh the japanese
government remained cool to
any approaches from Chiang's
emissaries to speed up the for
mutation Of a bilateral agree
ment between the two govern
ments.
Mr.. Dulles went to Japan to
discuss a number of questions
dealing with future American
japanese relations. particularly
the matter of American troops
and temporary bases in Japan.
Also discussed was the creation
OF a japanese defense force
capable of assuring Japan's Sc
curity after the American divi-
sions have been withdrawn.
But Mr.. Dulles was also in

Constantine Brown:

When Congress reconvenes in
January number of Senators
will ask a very pertinent and diff
ficult question: Who or what has
caused Japan's Prime Minister,
Yoshida to renege on the prom
ise he gave our Ambassador at
Large, John Foster Dulles, last
May that as soon as the Japa-
nese Diet ratified the peace
treaty with the Allies he would
start negotiations for conclu-
sion of a similar agreement with
the Chinese Nationalist gov
ernment in Formosa?
Mr.. Dulles put the final
touches to the treaty with ia
pan soon after the dismissal of
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. He
conveyed the terms of the
treaty to London and Paris and
insisted that Chinese Nation
alist representatives participate
at its signing at San Fran
cisco. The British refused to
agree because they had broken
of diplomatic relations with
Taipeh and had recognized the
Peiping puppet government. But
Messrs. Attlee and Morrison
agreed to the other terms of the
treaty. Mr.. Dulles accepted a
compromise whereby neither
representatives of China would
be invited.
Upon his return to Washing
ton from Paris and London Mr..
Dulles reported to a number Of
members of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee in executive
session. He informed them that
the absence Of the Nationalists
from the ceremony of signing
the treaty was immaterial. since
it had been settled between
Prime Minister Yoshida and
himself that as soon as the Diet
ratified the agreement Japan
would open direct negotiations
with the Taipeh government and
would conclude a peace treaty
on terms similar to those at
San Francisco. Mr.: Dulles ex-
planned the technicalities on
which this would be done. He
said that the japanese govern
ment would be free to sign
agreements with any other ma
ton which had not participated
at the San Francisco meeting,
provided that its government
had been a signatory of the At

A. major thorn in past United
States-Japanese relations has
been a harsh commercial rivalry.
Senator Magnuson, Washington
Democrat, who is a principal
spokesman for the fishing and
marine industry of the West
Coast, has made a conscientious
study of this problem both in
Japan and here. He is conf
dent that with good will on both
sides, the old irritations can be
resolved and new ones avoided.
He will have informed assistance
on the Republican side from
Senator Knowland Of California.
All this being true and a not

opinion of Capitol Hill experts.
certain hurdles exist.
A Congress coping with
mounting deficits and European
rearmament will expect Japa-
nese cooperation in the effort
to defend non-Communist ma
tions from Communist encroach-
ment. Congress is bound to
react apprehensively to any
japanese coolness, however ex-
pressed, toward the principle Of
collective security for which so
much American blood and
treasure is being expended.
The specific points Of contact
from which such sparks may fiy
are, OF course, Red China and
Formosa, the island upon which
the Nationalist Chinese have
taken refuge.
Senators will certainly take a
very careful look at such tech
nical points as the future status
OF Formosa and Japan's rela-
tions with Red China, so far as

Five Years to Develop Record
Something Seems Wrong Inside the Stote Department
In Hondine of Loyalty and Security Cases
Dovid Lowrence:

Something seems to be wrong
inside the State Department in
the handling of loyalty and
security cases.
Explanation was obtained to-
day from an authoritative
source of a little-noticed para
graph in the United States
Loyalty Review Boards report
on the case of John S. Service,
recently dismissed from the
State Department because of
reasonable doubts as to his 10y
atty to the United States Gov
ernment.
The paragraph in question
reveals that, despite the pres
sence Of an FBI report and
despite the fact that copies of
40 documents written by Service
for the State Department were
discovered through an FBI raid
on the offices of suspected Com
muniSt editors of Amerasia.
no hearing was held, and yet
Service was cleared.
The text of the paragraph
reads as follows:
THE undersigned panel of
the Loyalty Review Board first
took up this case lease of John
Stewart Service) on post-audit,
and on March 8, 1850, recon-
mended that it be remanded to
the Loyalty Security Board Of
the State Department for a
hearing on charges. Subsequent
ly a hearing was held, and the
State Department board reaf-
f1rmed its decision favorable to
the employee. ;"
What is most surprising is
that Service was cleared by the
State Department board with
out a hearing some time between
March, 1947, when the Presi-
dents loyalty program was insti-
tuted, and March, 1850. No
charges were made and no in
terrogatory presented to him.
Yet the State Department is
known to have cleared" Serv-

little desire-despite its original
pledges-to start discussions
with the Formosan authorities
for conclusion of o peace treaty.
According to reports received
recently in Washington, Prime
Minister Yoshida gave some
confused explanation. But he
did hint in an extremely polite
manner that it had been sug-
gested to his government, soon
after the signing Of the San
Francisco document, that 1t
would be unwise for Japan to
rush into making any kind Of
formal agreement with the Ma
tionalist government. It had
been suggested to him, he said,
that in the present uncertain
and confused political situation
in the world nobody can know
what the next moves In the
United Nations may be, and
whether year or so hence the
Red government of China may
not become the internationally
recognized legal government.
Under these circumstances, it
might be unwise for Japan to
conclude a formal treaty with
the wrong" government.

Where to Look, Judge Murphy
Blueprint for Cleanup Of Corrupt Practices Government
Proposed Weeks Ago in Douaos Committee Report

This seems the time to point
out something overlooked about
President Truman's projected
cleanup of corrupt practices in
Government, to which assign
ment he has called Federal
Judge Thomas F. Murphy of
New York.
This is that the work of Judge
Murphy and his associates and
aides will be along lines sug-
gested for the so-called Com
mission on Ethics in Govern
ment proposed some weeks ago
by a senatorial committee
headed by Senator Paul H.
Douglas, Democrat, of Illinois,
about which nothing ever was
done.
That is, If the Murphy clean
up project really covers the
ground as completely as seems
necessary.
For. to do the job fully, it
would appear that Judge Muir
ply and his cleanup corps can
not stop with ferreting out
abuses of the type revealed
heretofore by congressional
committees and eliminating
offending officials. He must go
back of them also and ascer-
tain all the factors, in Govern
ment and among those who do
business with the Government,
which contribute to the de-
linquency. They must be cor
rected, too.
For that the judge-if he will
take a tip-will find blueprint
in the Douglas committees ex-
haustive and comprehensive re-
port. That goes into every con-
ceivable sort of abuse of honest
and ethical practice and, fur
thermore, suggests not only
conditions which foster them,
but also recommends in detail
many ways to correct them.
The Douglas report, in short,
can show the judge where to
look.

Senate to Get Japanese Peace Treaty After Reossembes
Called Textbook ntereovernmentoI Relations

A United States Senate gen.
timely eager to ratify a peace
with Japan will receive the Jap
anese peace treaty shortly after
it reassembleS next month.
The treaty goes before the
Senate possessed of other great
advantages.
One is the care with which
John Foster Dulles has paved
the way for it. Mr.. Dulles has
the confidence of the Senate,
where he served briefly by ap-
pointment Of Gov. Dewey of
New York. Realizing from his
experience at both ends of
Pennsylvania avenue how mis-
understandings arise between
the State Department and Con-
gress. he has successfully exerted
himself to forestall them.
An attorney of long expert
ence for the Rockefellers and
other great corporate interests,
MIR. Dulles has considerable
mental equipment to bring to
the service of a client, in this
case the people of the United
States. He is also expending
himself to a rare degree in an
effort to bring his task to frui-
ton. flying of on the long road
to Toyko in December weather
to solve last-minute problems.
A veteran of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee staff
refers admiringly to Mr.. Dulles
management of the japanese
treaty as "a textbook on what
State Department-congressional
relations ought to be in mat
ters of this kind-and usually
aren't"
Two members of the Far East
subcommittee Of Foreign Re-
lations have also devoted a
large part of the comparatively
brief congressional recess to a

gether. The Presidents instruc-
tions specifically require that
interrogatories should be pre-
sented to any one about whom
there has been collected any de-
rogatory information concerning
loyalty.
incidentally, some misleading
statements have appeared in
the press in the last few days
purporting to say that the Loy-
atty Review Board has ordered a
"reopening of the loyalty cases
Of 565 Federal employees" and
that these cases were to be
checked lin the light of the
Governments new policy that a
reasonable doubt is sufficient to
bar employment"
The foregoing was contained
in a press release on December
II by the U. S. Civil Service
Commission. which said IAN
nouncement of the order was
made today"
Now, the truth is that the
Presidents order was issued on
May last. changing the word
ing about reasonable doubt"
back to what it was under Presi-
dent Roosevelt during World
War II. Also, last May the
Loyalty Review Board announced
that it estimated that 846 cases
would be definitely reopened and
told the departmental agencies
to take another look at about
5000 cases in which the FBI
had carried on full field investi-
cations.
The policy is not new, nor is
the procedure. All that is new
is that the Loyalty. Review Board
has now cut the number Of
cases to be ."..reopened" from
846 down to 565 and the num-
ber to be Scrutinized again from
$3.50 down to STA. The latter
group are not necessarily to be
formally reopened.

It also can give him some
guidance in a field not hitherto
explored very much. That is
Congress, itself. While the
Douglas committee. in exploring
that. made no revelations"
about specific members of Con-
gress-which was not its as
signed job-it did frankly
recognize that Congress is very
much part of the problem of
ethics in Government, told how
and why, and emphasized Con-
gress' responsibility for practices
among its own members not
conducive to good Government.
The series Of congressional COM
mittees that have delved spe-
cifically, in recent months. into
malpractices in the field of
executive and administrative
government have tiptoed most
gingerly around their own pre-
serves and precincts in legisla-
tive government.
That is most important. For
there. too, is the problem Of how
much pressure and influence"
members of Congress should ex-
ert on behalf of those seeking
something from Government,
which the Douglas report con-
Sidered. That issue has been
raised directly since in the case
Of three members of Congress
brought into the current tax
investigation, but not yet called
before the House Ways and
Means investigating subcommit-
tee to explain themselves, as
administrative officials have
been called.
This congressional area like
wise impinges on problems of
politics and patronage, most
pertinent just now since inter-
nal revenue collectors are pa
tronage and Senators have
much to say about their ap-
pointmentS.
ALI Of this is wide open for
Judge Murphy-if he dares.

President Truman might have
been forehanded, and saved
himself at least some embar-
rassment, If he had taken the
cue from the Douglas commit
tee recommendation and ap-
pointed a commission right then
and there instead Of waiting
until he was forced by the rev.
elations about tax scandals that
have come since the Douglas
report was submitted to Con-
gress and published.
That would have been a pat
on the back for Congress, and
good public relations. Except,
of course. the President ap-
parently does not feel too kindly
about those Democrats in Con-
gress who took leading parts in
various investigations, which
include Senator Douglas. He
was active in the RFC inquiry
directed by Senator Fulbright,
Democrat, Of Arkansas, as well
as conductor of the exploration
into ethics.
Very prophetic, in the light of
the tax scandal revelations
since. are some observations in
the Douglas report. They read,

the treaty impinges on them.
Reservations to the treaty
about these matters are almost
certain to be proposed. How
far they will get depends largely
upon the assurances Mr.. Dulles
is able to bring back from his
latest Tokyo talks.
The State Department as,
serts that the status of For
mosa is not affected by the
treaty. Congress may want it
spelled out much more firmly
than that.
This is a presidential cam
paign year. A substantial bloc
OF Republicans in Congress, per-
haps a majority, want what they
call a stronger" Far Eastern
policy than that Of President
Truman. But 1t would be q
mistake for Japanese to think
they might profit by such divi-
sion. even in the quadrennial
election frenzy. That Republi-
can bloc has tied its kite not to
Japan but to Chang Kai-shek
and the Nationalist Chinese and
has tied 1t much more tightly.
1t seems certain, than Japan
really wants to tie hers.
Mr.. Dulles. incidentally. is not
a part Of that bloc. He, with
the late Senator Vandenberg.
helped to fashion the biparti-
san foreign policy. could almost
be said now to be its principal
pillar.
The Senate foreign relations
staff has been alerted for a
prompt plunge into hearings on
the japanese treaty. and three
security pacts: United States
Japan, United States-Philip-
pines and United States-Aus-
tralia-New Zealand.
All are relatively non-contro-
versial and it is believed that
Senators will make a real ef-
fort to get them out Of the way

ice six times in all-the last
time July 81, 1851.
The State Department has CIV
en- no explanation of its failure
to prefer charges against Serv-
ice until pressed to do so by
the national board-the Loyalty
Review Board. In the formal re-
port issued last week by the
State Department occurs the
following implied admission that
1t had not required Service to
appear at a hearing before:
THE case of John Stewart
Service, on which the Loyalty
Security Board of the State
Department had reported a
favorable determination based
on the information then avail
able, was remanded because the
reviewing panel had concluded
that the record had not been
fully developed. and that a hear
inc should be held on charges.
"1n accordance with this
recommendation charges were
preferred against Mr.. Service
and a hearing has been held"
Just why from June 6, 1945-
when Service was arrested along
with other persons in the Am
erasia caSe-until March, 1850,
no charges were preferred
against him and no hearing was
held inside the State Depart
ment so that he could be for
mally interrogated on the data
supplied by the FBI, is a mys-
terry which has not been ex-
planned. Nor is there any ex-
PLANTATION as to why after five
years "the record had not been
fully developed" and no hear
ing held to develop that record.
The episode casts suspicion on
the manner in which loyalty
cases have been handled in the
State Department. Were it not
for the "post-audit" procedure
set up to check the departmental
boards, things of this kind
could escape attention alto
