ASIANS AWAITING DEVELOPMENT OF NEW U.S. POLICY

Tokyo, March 20, -Asiotic-leaders-are-anxiously-waiting-to-sue what kind of definita_and_con_ creto American Far East policy will come out of the U.S. Secretary of Stato, Mr. Decon Achoson's, conferances this week with Congressional chiefs.

The United States Ambassador-at-large, Dr. Philip Jessup, is to attend one of those sessions and the whole Far East wants to know what recommen- dations he will make now that he has had a first hand view of the situation in this part of the world.

The two recent speeches by Mr. Acheson were generally regarded as an

indication of the trend the Americans will follow in future.
