INDIAN

STAND

ON JAP TREATY

Washington Nov. 27.

Authoritative sources said today that India agreed with the United States' position that Japan must be permitted to rearm once the peace treaty was signed. They said, how- ever, that India opposed that portion of the seven- point American plan for writing a peace treaty which envisaged the con- tinued presence, of United States forces on Japaneso soil after the signing of the pact.

Madame Vijaya Lakshmi Pan- dit, Indian Ambassador to the United States, will present her country's initial reactions to the seven-point American plan at a meeting in New York later this week with Mr John Foster Dulles, Republican foreign policy adviser who i3 in charge of arrangements for the peace con- ference. Madame Pandit plans to leave for New York on Tues- day morning in connection with her country's complaint in the United Nations that South Africa is guilty of racial dis- crimination against persons of Indian descent. One of the major points Madame Pandit is ex- pected to hammer home during her talk with Mr Dulles is that India believes there can be no really effective peace treaty for Japan without the participation of Communist China.

India is understood to con- tend that writing into the peace treaty any provision for the American forces to remain in Japan to defend that coun- try would constitute violation of Japanese sovereignty after Tokyo has come ..to formal terms with its former peace enemies.

if they waited until after the treaty had been signed.

The

idea behind Indian reasoning is that in the latter case it would be a question of an, already sovereign Japan teking on itself freely-negotiated obligations.
