u. 5. Again Rejects
Russian Proposals
On Japanese Treaty
Soviet Renews Idea
Of Big Three PorIey,
Including Red China

The United States today turned
thumbs down on Russian pro-
posal that the japanese peace
treaty be prepared by a Big Three
parley to include Communist
China.
The State Department spokes-
man said this idea has always
been rejected by the United States
and will be again"
The United States is discussing
proposed japanese peace treaty
terms with Is other nations and
hopes to conclude a treaty this
summer.
Rejected 4 Years Ago.
A Soviet proposal to limit the
negotiations to the big powers, ex-
Guiding the smaller nations which
took part in the war against ia
pan, first was turned down by this
Government four years ago.
Michael j. McDermott, State
Department press officer, said the
Soviet renews the proposal peri
odically whenever it wants to stall
the conclusion of Japanese peace" ;"
Russia suggested this time that
a council of foreign ministers,
composed of representatives of the
United States, Great Britain, the
Soviet Union and Communist
China be called in June or July
to prepare the treaty.
May Leave Reds Out.
Mr.. McDermott said the Soviet
effort is, with Communist China,
to get "a double veto"
He said the State Department
received only this morning trans

fully answer it with a rejection in
due course.
The United States intends,
department spokesman made plain,

arations for a settlement for Japan,
with or without Russian participa-

In the note Russia attacked
what she said was the use

withdrawal of all occupation
troops within a year after con-

Senators Question
Marshall Agoin

FOLLOWING is q partial teTt OF
testimony today before the Sep
ate Armed Services and Foreign
Relations Committees hearings
on Far East Policy:
Chairman Russell-General
I want you to tell us what re-
strictions were placed upon the
scope of military operations in
Korea and where those restrictions
originated.
Secretary Marshall-The re-
strictions imposed on Gen. Mac
Arthur were in general to conf1ne
the operations to Korea, and un-
der no circumstances to carry oNS
operations into Manchuria.
He was also cautioned against
having units within, I think it was
about Is miles of the border in
Northeast Korea where it touched
the perimeter of Siberia, the So
Wet government.
The restrictions did not apply tt
operations by the Navy on the
water along off the coast of Korea
but those were restricted, in Other
words. forbidden, in relation to
the Manchurian coast, the China
coast, and most specifically the
northwestern tip of Korea in close
proximity to the Soviet border.
There was a modification ir
those restrictions in the event thai
our forces were attacked outside
of Korea, to the effect that hi
was authorized to retaliate il
bombing against such opera
tionS. -.
Chairman Russell Did thost
restrictions originate with thu
Joint Chiefs of Staff the
United Nations?
Secretary Marshall-Those re-
strictions directly related to views
Eof the Chiefs of Staff as expressed
and discussed in the National
Security Council. There was
an intermingling there of political
necessities along with military
directions. There was an agree
ment that not only were these
restrictions necessary in order tC
avoid break with our Allies anc
la complete confusion in our re-
Ilations to the United Nations and
specifically the Security Council
but they also felt it would be
necessary in regard to the retalia-
ton that could be carried out by
"a heavy force if they developed
on the Communist side. -. =.
Chairman Russell-What IS your
opinion, Mr.. Secretary, as to the
potential power of retaliation
available to the Soviet in the
Korean war If the Soviet
wanted to see fit to enter the
Korean war?
Secretary Marshall - il
would be a very serious matter

President Stands by
Korea Policy, Warns
Against Losing Allies
Civil Defense Address
Answers Macarthur
Plan to Extend War
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today stuck
to his guns on the political and
strategy followed in
Korea with a warning to critics
that the United States might lose
her Allies, wreck the United Ma
tions and be forced to wage a lone
and deadly war against commu-
nism, if we launched large-scale
attack on China.
In an address obviously de-
signed as an answer to Gen

Sofety Measures. Poee B. ]
MacArthur's demand for a widen
ing of the field of operations in
the Pacific. the President last
night slapped at those who "seek
some easy way out, regardless OF
the consequences" in time OF
crisis, and then summed up:
"Our Allies agree with us in the
course we are following. They dc
not believe that we should take
the initiative to widen the con-
f1ict in the Far East. If the
United States were to widen that
conflict, we might well have to
go it alone.
Allies in Greater Danger.
eff we go it alone in Asia, we
may destroy the unity of the free
nations against aggression. Our
European Allies are nearer to Rus
sia than we are. They are in
far greater danger. If we act
without regard to the danger that
faces them, they may act without
regard to the dangers that we
face. Going it alone brought the
world to the disaster of World
War II. We cannot go alone in
Asia and go it in company in
Europe. The whole idea of going
it alone is the opposite of every
thing we have stood for and
worked for since World War IL
In this way, going it alone in Asia
might wreck the United Nations
the North Atlantic treaty and the
whole system of collective security
we are helping to set up"
The President spoke at Civi!
Defense Conference dinner in the
Hotel Statler. While he made nc
mention of Gen. Macarthur or the
Republicans supporting the de-
posed Far Eastern commander, he
took up the main arguments ad-
vanced by the general at the
lengthy Senate hearings last week

Hospital Puts Hull
On Critically III List

Former Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull was in critical condition
at the Bethesda Naval Hospital
today.
Mr.. Hull, 70, is suffering from
an upper respiratory infection
with cardiac complications, hos
pital officials said. He was ad-
mitted to the hospital Saturday.
Ill health forced Mr.. Hull to
resign as Secretary of State in
1914 after he had served longer
in that office than any one else
in history. After many months
in the hospital, he had been living
a quiet life at the Wardman Park
Hotel for the last few years.

the Communist forces without
risking "a great hazard of a
complete world war.
Gen. Marshall's views on wheth-
er the Korean fighting can be
brought to a victorious end were
given as he appeared for the Sec
ond day before the Senate Armed
Services and Foreign Relations
Committees investigating tn e
Macarthur controversy.
Soviet Has Many Planes Near.
The 70-year-old soldier and
statesman, the administrations
first witness in the investigation,
also testified:
l. 1t would be "a very serious
matter" for United Nations forces
fighting in Korea if Soviet air
power should be thrown into the
conflict. Gen. Marshall said the
Russians have several thousand
planes in the Observation-Disclosures
Port Arthur -Harbin area, and re-
ports have been received of troop
concentrations on Sakhalin Island
northwest of Japan.
2. There was full agreement by
President Truman and his top
military and political advisers on
limiting the fighting in Korea in
an effort to avoid a general war,
and that Gen. Macarthur was in
structed that under no circum-
stances" was he to carry opera
tions into Manchuria

U. N. forces from Korea, as pro-
posed in some quarters, would be
tragic" in. the effect on coping
with Communism in Asia, in the
Middle East and India.
Gen. Marshall's views on
whether the administrations plan
can bring the war in Korea to an
end were given in response to a
question by Chairman Russell of
the investigating committee.
lizard to Answer Questions"
Gen. Marshall said it was lex
ceedingly hard" to answer the
question because "it really
amounts to disclosing a war plan" "
Then in a long discussion CEN
sored in part for security, Gen.
Marshall said the country faced
three choices. One was to conduct
an expanded war along the lines
suggested by Gen. Macarthur.
The second, he said, was to with
draw from Korea and violate this
country's promise to the Koreans
and sacrifice them to assassina-
ton and probably almost extinc-
ton"
The third choice, Secretary
Marshall continued, was to carry
out the administrations present
plan "to what advantage we could
gain by the method that we have
followed"
'That method" he added, was
to inf1ict the greatest number of
casualties we could in order to
break down not only the morale,
