Our 757.

1. Question of labour relations in Japanese public service was
discussed at special meeting of Allied Council on 28th [August],
when Shaw outlined our position and offered help to SCAP HQ in
view of experience of British Commonwealth countries in this
sphere. We have also asked Shaw to make personal approach to SCAP,
in coordination with Head of U.K.L.M. and convey our concern and
constructive ideas.

2. We have been considering the substantial procedural
difficulties referred to in your 940 and our inclination is not to
raise matter in F.E.C. at least until we know result of
representations at present being made in Tokyo where our views may
have some influence at the implementing level.

3. What are views of your British Commonwealth colleagues on
subject of taking up question in F.E.C.? [2]
