Dulles Statement Halls
New Era in Relations .

The tolloDi1g is the tert of q
statement By John Foster Dulles
on the coming into effect of the
japanese peace and security
treaties:
The American people join in re-
joicing with the people Of Japan
who again have peace. freedom
and control of their own destiny
as Japan today takes her place
as an equal and honored member
of the community of free nations.
She is welcomed. A long hard road
has come to an end.
A new way lies ahead. It will
not be an easy way. Indeed, the
future difficulties and problems
are immense, not only for Japan
but for every nation. We can.
however, be confident that these
problems can be solved in an at
mosphere of peace and freedom
and as between equals.
As our two nations. have worked
together over the past years, we
have found that even the most
|dif11cult problems car. be solved if
only we cared enough to take the
time and make a serious effort to
solve them. This can we'll be our
motto for the future-Let US care
enough to make sure that the
friendship now begun will endure
for all the future.

lsecurity treaty between the United
Estates of America and Japan.
This is a memorable day for
Japan and the japanese people.
In making our new start today,
our people know that no nation
can live unto itself, that no nation
can draw dividends unless it con-
tributes to a common world effort
and invests in the common well
fare of humanity. ...
We face q great test to human
wisdom and human courage.
Today, stimulated by broader
vision and understanding Of the
principles of humanity, equality
and justice, can assure you that
our people will proceed forward
drawing upon the fount of our
strength and unity. So rooted, we
can meet the challenges of our
times.
On this memorable occasion I
would like to express the gratitude
of my government and people for
the enlightened and magnaminous
craftsmanship of the United States
and other countries which has
made this peace possible and
which enables us to stand again

Return of sovereignty to Japan
today represents a deliberate
gamble in United States foreign
policy.
The gamble, which had a share
of Republican support as we'll as
the backing of the Democratic ad-
ministration, is that freedom and
independence will make a better
and more dependable ally of ia
pan in the struggle against Soviet
Communism than retention of
military controls would have
made.
This was major issue within the
government for a long time prior
to the decision last summer to go
ahead with the signing of the jap
anese peace treaty at San Fran
cisco in September. It seems likely
to continue to be an issue as be-
tween the government and it's for
eign policy critics because it in
wolves a fundamental problem,
which is how best to carry out
the real interest Of the United
States.
Involved Two Departments.
The argument over the peace
treaty, the device by which Japar
now regains it's independence ane
freedom from American occupa.
tion, initially involved the Stat.
and Defense Departments. Some
officials in each favored ant
others opposed an early japanese
peace. The dominant militar!
view two or three years ago wa
that instead of giving Japan com
lplete independence, United State
security interests in the Pacif1'
could best be served by relaxinl
but retaining occupation controls
The dominant State Department
view was that Japan could no
be kept under occupation re
straints indefinitely and that will
basic reforms out of the way tn
nation should be given its indie
lpendence.
! Agreed With Macarthur.
This was one of the great ques
tions on which Gen. Macarthur

and the State Department say

and he pressed repeatedly for an
early peace treaty.
The outbreak of war in Korea
raised a new complication. BY
that time Secretary of State
Acheson had given Republican
adviser John Foster Dulles the
task of negotiating a pact with or
without Russia S cooperation and
Mr.. Dulles finally concluded that
the Korean war made the Japa-
nese settlement more rather than
less urgent. g..
Mr.. Dulles reasoned the Japa-
|nese would be trustworthy allies
only when they were free men
and the Korean war placed a
great premium on their i'm
portance as Allies.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff agreed
to let negotiations for a treaty
proceed but it was not until q
short time before invitations fol
the San Francisco conference ac-
tually went out that the military
accepted the idea that a peace
pact should be sought as soon a.
possible.
Can't Dictate Course.
The military price. as it ha.
sometimes been called, was th'
security treaty drafted to come
into force simultaneously with tn
peace treaty. This was fully sup.
ported by Mr.. Dulles and the Stat
Department. It assured the con.
tinued presence of American
troops in Japan after the occupa'
ton. It assured that Japan woule
not be left disarmed and defense
less. an easy prey to the Reds.
Despite this treaty, however, tn
big new fact of Japanese-Ameri
can relations is that from here OF
the United States can no longe
tell Japan what to do. It cal
negotiate and request, and it ha
tremendous power because o

weakness for the time being. Blu
