 Nixon applauded the delegates for their nomination of UN Am bassador Henry Cabot Lodge for Vice President.
 ''In refreshing contrast to what happened in Los Angeles you nominated a man who shares my views on the great issues and who will work with me and not against me in carrying out our magnificent platform" Nixon said.
 On the Democratic party plat form, Nixon said: "They promised everything to everybody with one exception: they didn't promise to pay the bill"
 Turning to foreign affairs, he said that the Democratic conven- ton, i've heard that American prestige is at an all time low" :"
 This is my answer" Nixon said.
 q say that at a time the Com munists are running us down abroad, it is time to speak up for America at home.
 "While it is dangerous to see nothing wrong in America, it is just as wrong to refuse to recog- nize what is right about Amer ica."

basically friendly to the United
States and recognize that their
economic wellbeing in recent
years has been based largely on
extensive commercial relations
between the two countries. The
United States is Japans best
customer and Japan is the Sec
ond largest purchaser of Amer
ican goods.
At some point, when develop
mentS permit, Ambassador
Douglas Macarthur II is ex-
pected to be called home for
consultation on possible United
States moves to repair the
situation. But officials said
that this action does not ap-
pear likely until conditions in
Tokyo have settled down and
the prospects become clearer.
Oppose Any Treaty
One of the major concerns
here now is that opponents OF
the new security treaty are not
against the provisions of the
treaty itself, but rather are
dead set against any kind OF
treaty at all. Their opposition
grows out Of a complex OF
political and emotional factors
lstemming from Japan's defeat
in World War II. Large ele-
ments of the population fear
becoming involved in a new
conflict.
This attitude has given rise
to what is essentially a pacifist
movement, which in recent
years has fought against the
rearmament of Japan even on
a limited scale for defensive
purposes, as well as against
military ties with the United
States and the presence of
United States bases on Japa-
nese territory.

japanese themselves do next.
WaShington's hope is that
Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi
will be able to remain in power
long enough to complete his
country's ratification of the
new United States-Japanese
defense treaty. That will occur
automatically on Sunday, jap
anese time Saturday, Wash
ington time) unless the Parlia-
ment is dissolved in the mean
time.
In Tokyo, Mr.. Kishi held fast
to his plans for bringing about
ratification despite an oppoSi-
ton announcement of stepped
up plans to block the treaty
and topple him before that
time.
Japan Equal Partner
The treaty, replacing a 1851
pact which gave the United
States much greater authority
in Japan, would recognize
Japan as an equal partner, pro-
vide for mutual defense within
Japan and require United
States-Japanese consultations
on use of United States troops
stationed there.
But for various reasons many
Japanese have objected to the
Treaty's provision which per-
mitS United States use of mill
tary bases in Japan for at least
another II years. Present
rights to the bases have no
time limit.
Despite the uproar in Japan,
the United States Senate was
expected to vote ratification of
the treaty by tomorrow-per-
haps late today.
If both countries complete
ratification, Washington au-
thoritieS hope the political
turmoil in Japan will subSide.
It would then be possible, they
hope. to take a long and Sc
riouS look at where the two
countries actually stand in
their relationship.
But at present there are vi
tally important unknown fac
tors, as officials here see the
situation. One Of them is the
extent to which the violent
demonstrations of recent days
have set in motion japanese
political forces hostile to close
ties with this country.
Effectiveness Is Worry
Another serious concern is
with the practical effectiveness
Of the alliance with Japan,
especially as it bears on the
continued presence there OF
United States air and naval
bases, if the hostility proves to
be widespread.
Balanced against such con-
siderations is the conviction OF
United States leaders that most
