Japan Asks Reds 10 Show
Peaceful Intent by Deeds
by The Assoeioisd Press

TOKYO, July ~. Foreign Of
fee sources suggested today that
Russia demonstrate peaceful in
tentions by deeds as well as
words ii it wants to expand re-
lations with Japan.
There couldn't be much Inn
portance in anything Russia says
as long as there is evidence Of
aggressive intentions and an abb
sence of genuine effort to MAIN
tain what we call peaceful CO.
existence" the sources said.
They were commenting on
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Vishinsky's statement to
Japanses legislators in Moscow
yesterday expressing hope for
formal diplomatic relations as
soon as possible"
A World War II peace treaty
is also a prerequisite to expanded
relations, the sources said, point
ing out Russia has made no over
lures in this direction since it
snubbed the San Francisco
Treaty of 1851. signed by most
of the non-Communist world.
Russia and Japan technically are
still at war.
