My immediately preceding telegram. [1] The following is the text
of the United States Draft Treaty on disarmament and
demilitarisation of Japan. Begins.

PREAMBLE:

The Governments of the United Kingdom, China, the Union of Soviet
Socialist republics, and the United States have declared their
intention to effect the total disarmament and demilitarisation of
Japan. This intention was expressed in the Potsdam declaration of
July 26th, 1945. In substantial measure it has already been
fulfilled. Nothing shall prevent the completion of the process. It
remains to ensure that the total disarmament and demilitarisation
of Japan will be enforced as long as the peace and security of the
world may require. Only this assurance will permit the nations of
Asia and the world to return single-mindedly to the habits of
peace. To achieve this ojective, the Governments of the United
Kingdom, the Republic of China, the Union of Soviet Socialist
republics, and the United States agree to engage in the common
undertaking defined in this treaty.

explosives which may be essential for purposes of construction
mining agriculture or for other peaceful purposes.

Article 2:

To implement the disarmament and demilitarization provisions set
forth in Article 1, the High Contracting Parties agree that they
shall make provision for a system of quadripartite inspection
which shall become operative upon the termination of all
occupation of Japan. This system of inspection shall be conducted
through a Commission of Control to be established by the High
Contracting Parties on a quadripartite basis. The commission of
control, through its officers and Agents shall conduct in any and
all parts of Japanese territory, such inspection, inquiries and
investigations as it may deem necessary to determine whether the
disarmament and demilitarization provisions set forth in Article 1
are being observed.

Article 3: High Contracting Parties agree that for the duration of
the period of Allied occupation of Japan they shall support the
strict enforcement of the disarmament and demilitarization
provisions set forth in Article 1. They agree further, that the
express acceptance by Japan of the provisions of Article 1, and 2,
shall be an essential condition to the termination of Allied
occupation of Japanese Territory.

Article 4:

The Commission of Control provided for in article 2, shall submit
a report to the High Contracting Parties whenever, in the opinion
of a majority of the members of the Commission, it has reason to
believe that a violation of the disarmament and demilitarisation
provisions of Article i has occurred or is about to occur. In
conjunction with such report, the Commission shall submit a
recommendation for action on the part of the High Contracting
Parties which appears appropriate to a majority of the members of
the Commission. Upon receipt of such report and recommendation the
High Contracting Parties will by common agreement take such prompt
action, including action by Air, Sea or land Forces as may be
necessary to assure the immediate cessation or prevention of such
violation or attempted violation. The High Contracting Parties
agree that within six months of the effective date of this treaty
they shall consult for the purpose of negotiating special
quadripartite agreements which shall provide in the greatest
practicable detail for inspection, inquiry, and investigation by
the Commission of control, for the numbers and types of forces
which each party shall make available for purposes of this treaty
for their degree of readiness, and general location, and for the
nature of the facilities and assistance which each shall provide.

Such special quadripartite agreements shall be subject to
ratification by the High Contracting Parties in accordance with
their respective constitutional processes.

Article 5 :

This Treaty shall be ratified by the High Contracting Parties in
accordance with their respective constitutional processes. The
ratification shall be deposited with the Government of... which
shall notify all the High Contracting Parties, of each deposit.

This Treaty shall come into force upon the deposit of
ratifications by each of the High Contracting Parties. This Treaty
shall remain in force for a period of twenty-five years from its
effective date. The High Contracting Parties agree to consult six
months before the date of expiration of this treaty for the
purpose of determining whether the interests of international
peace and Security require its renewal with or without
modification-or whether the Japanese people have so far progressed
in the reconstruction of their life on a democratic and peaceful
basis that the continued imposition of the controls defined
therein is no longer necessary.
