American Policy In Japan Defended

MISTAKEN UNDERSTANDING

1

BY RUSSIANS

Washington Feb. 17.-The United States today expressed "regrets" that the Soviet representative in the Far Eastern Commission, Mr Alexander Panyushkin, had voiced "mistaken understanding" of American policy in Japan.

The State Department release made public a

statement made on February 3 in the FEC meeting

by the Commission chairman, Maj-General Frank

McCoy. At that time, General McCoy was replying

to the January 27 statement by Mr Panyushkin, cop- demning the United States' stabilisation programme for Japan which was announced on December 10. Today, Mr Panyushkin renewed his attack, but also widened it to include other issues.
