Mr Holland told the House of Representatives that he held grave charges made by the leader of the Opposition, Mr Walter Nash, to be completely unproved.

Japanese Peace Treaty Explained By Mr Foster Dulles
THREE
UNIQUE FEATURES
Washington, July 12. The draft of the proposed peace treaty with Japan was made public today in Washington and Tokyo and/in more than 40 other world capitals. It provides for the restoration of full sovereignty to Japan, rules out all major war reparations, provides for Japanese participation in bilateral or multi-lateral security arrangements which would permit the stationing of foreign troops in home islands, and permits

Mr John Foster Dulles, chief United States negotiator of the Japanese peace treaty, said today that the treaty "would avoid the great error" of imposing restrictions on Japan which might breed a new war.
Mr Dulles told a press conference the fact that the treaty "is truly one of reconciliation" was one of the three unique features about the peacé settio.. ment for Japan. The other features which he believed unique were the use of diplomatic channels to negotiate the treaty and lack of limitation Japanese rearmament.

It can only be hoped that he will find Dr Mossadegh in a similar frame of mind and that something positivo emerges from his visit. The oil crisis is too acute for the Persians to allow it to drift along any further. A compromise has to be reached.
