Dr. Herbert Evatt, Australian Minister for Ex- ternal Affairs, who returned last week, from a visit to Japan, declared in a broadcast today that General MacArthur's policy of disarma- ment and of sowing the seeds of democratic reform in Japan had been more successful than! was generally imagined.

General MacArthur, Supreme Allied Com- mander in Japan, some of the problems aris- ing out of the Japanese peace treaty negotia- tions, declared: "We can see, the pattern of the Japanese peace settlement giving security against Japanese aggression and, at the same time, lifting the standards of the people of Asia and the Pacific countries."
