PRELIMINARY

PEACE

TALKS WITH JAPAN?

Tokyo, June 1 Proliminary treaty talks betwoon Japan and the United States may take place in the near futuro as a result of the Japanese Govern- mont's announcement today that it would be willing to sign separate peace treaties. A lengthy Foreign Office statement, tracing post- war developments and the fallure of the Allies to agree on the Japanese question, said Japan should embark on a programme of steadily achieving normal international treaties with nations willing to accord it 'independence and equality.

JAP CARBIDE FOR SINGAPORE

Tokyo, June 2. Japanese trade circles said tentative agreement has been

reached to ship 2,000 tons of carbide to Singapore.

The Goyo Bocki company is now awaiting the letter of credit before the shipment Is made, These sources believe that the quoted Japanese price of $75 per ton can compete against higher prices of British and American carbide.-Associated Press.

Diplomatic and military quar- ters agreed

that the United States was the most likely nation to sign a separate peace with Japan and considered today's statement as Indicating the Japanese have given up hope of getting the Rus- sians to attend a confernce and agree to the things America pro- bably will want,

separate peace with the United States would put Japan definitely in the anti-Communist bloc and probably would call for American protection against pos sible Russian retallation.
