STUE hint from New Zealand that the British Commonwealth is expecting America to take an early lead on negotin- tions for a peace treaty with Jupan fails nestly into line with the disclosure that the subject will be thoroughly explored at the New York conference next week of the Big Three Foreign Ministers, Since the journeys to Tokyo of high level experts of the Defence and State Departments, much Ins been done to iron out differeRecs which were causing conflict in Washing- ten. Today there is reason do belleve that the State Department has completed a revised draft and that most oljections. raised by the Defence Secretary, security grounds, have been met. If that is so. it is reasonable to suppose that the conditions proposed by the United States will be studied by Mr Ernest Bevin and M. Schumun with Mr Acheson next week. Not that there is any likelihood of final decisions. Another yehr could casily clipse before a treaty can be concluded beenuse dellente negotiations are neces- sury, not only between the Alles and the Japanese Government, but also between the victors themselves. The issues now involved go far beyond the obligations placed

Japan, and obligations to Japan in her defenceless stale, but are related to the general politics of South- East Asia and the aspirations of the Communists, policies regarding which do not always find participants seeing eye to eye. Nevertheless, the British Common- wealth partners will give a warm welcome to any United States' Initiative which holds promise of terminating the present stalemate. Outside the Soviet, none is particularly to blame. Hesitation and reluctance have usually been created by fears of Russian intentions. Reflection 'has done much to alter this angle of approach,

When General Eisenhower calis Americans To finance powerful radio transmitters abroad, his mind is running parallel. So is that of Mr Spender, the Australian Minister for External Altairs, when he urges agreement over the thungs that the freedom-loving peoples stand for and on one voice for the world.

While Japan remains under nich rule, that grip merely provides more grist for the Soviet propaganda milia. In the eyes of Asia, all allen rule is suspect. Pence with Japan will, of course, be subject to two considerations-securly for Japan without permitting her to revert to the role of a military menace-covered probably by preserving military bases for the United States in Japan. The second consideration is that, in the present state of world politics, trenties will almost certainly have to be signed without the presence or approval of Moscow.

Korea, Sept. 7.

The 25th Division held the Masan line this morning against dawn battalion-strength attacks all along the southwest front as the onemy made another attempt to break through to Masan.

The offensive was preceded by heavy mortar and artillery shelling but all attacks were repulsed and only in one sector was the enemy able to penetrate the first line of defence.

Counter-attacks now are being launched to close this gap.

The attacks began at about 4 a.m. after the enemy had brought reinforcements across the Nam River from the southwest during the night.
