Russia & Japan Peace Treaty.

IT is fairly obvious that the officially-

sponsored Peking

paper, the

People's Daily, has been supplied with, and has willingly accepted, the Soviet line in dealing with the proposed American peace treaty for Japan. This is made manifest when the paper dis- covers a loophole in the provisions for returning Southern Sakhalin and the Kuriles to Russia, the "loophole," ac- cording to the People's Daily, being Article 19 which is interpreted to mean _that_rights will only.be-conferred--on those states which sign and ratify the treaty an act which the paper as- sumes, not without some knowledge we may guess, Russia will not do. Never- theleas Peking, it seems, has not bothered to work out any alternatives to the United States propositions for drawing up a peace treaty whereas Russia, quite recently went so far as to suggest a four-power Foreign Minis- tera' meeting in June or July to begin preparation of the treaty. The four states to be represented would be the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain and Communist China. Up un- til Inst February the United States was still conducting formal talks with the Soviet Union of various phases of the treaty problem. These talks "broken off," without explanation, by Moscow. The impasse between the United States and the Soviet Union on one phase of the treaty problem had been made abundantly plain more than a year previously. The Soviet Union took the position that the Japaneso treaty should be negotiated strictly as

were

"Big Power" matter with no more than five states represented. (France was tentatively included at that time). Tho United States has held that all fourteen of the Pacific nations that

were engaged against Japan should have, a voice in the treaty making and suggested that initiative toward the pet might properly lie in the Far Eastern Council. It was inconceivable, for example, that nations such as the Philippines and Australia should not play an important part in the treaty making. The latest Russian memoran- dum proposes "consultation" with the fourteen nations that participated in -the-Far-Eastern war,-but-would-keep-

the initiative in the hands of the four Powers. Moreover, on March 5 the Soviet representative, Jacob A. Malik, was informed that the United States would reject the right of any ħation to exercino a vetó power in respect to the Japanese trenty. The latest Soviet manoeuvre, of course, suggests a con- ference in which the Communists would exercise not one veto but two. Past ex- perience gives no right to assume that any progress whatsoever could be made on any terms other than those of the Soviet Union. It is quite possible that the Kremlin feels that its hand has been forced by the progress that has been made toward a genuine peace treaty. The rejection of the proposal will at least give Moscow a chance to beat the drums to the effect that any settlement reached in the Pacific is "Illegal." Moscow's idea of a conférence would naturally prevent any settlement at all, just as Moscow hus prevented any settlement, in respect tb Germany, Austria or Koren. But there will be a settlement in the Pacific. Whether Moscow wishes eventually to be a party. to it will be for the Kremlin to de- cide. The road to it cannot lie in any Buch obviously unacceptable' plan · as that which has been put forward, .
