Want Allied Occupation To Continue
JAPANESE FEAR OF COMMUNISM
Tokyo, Sept. 12.-The sudden Russian proposal for "prompt" withdrawal of the occupation troops from Japan following an early peace treaty provoked a comment in some circles today that the proposition was “neither good nor im- mediately practical."
Competent Japanese observers said the withdrawal of United States troops from Japan in the comparatively early future would not be good for Japan because it would immediately expose the Japanese masses to the danger of Com- munist inspired chaos and confusion.

Another Meeting
Today On Italy's Pre-War Colonies
Paris, Sept. 12.-Representatives of the Big Four Foreign Ministers meet here tomorrow at Russia's instance in another attempt to settle the fate of Italy's pre-war colonies.
There seems little chance of agreement since the Western powers cannot agreo among themselves how the economically worthless, but strategically important, African colonies should be divided.
Indications so far are that much of the meeting time will be consumed in wrangling over procedure. The three Western powers call it a Council of Foreign Ministers meet- ing although only the French Foreign Minister will be present.
