Japanese participation in International Relations.
The Minister agrees that the United States proposal is undesirable
and should be strongly opposed. The question of Japanese Foreign
Relations is a matter for all countries who contributed to the
Pacific victory, i.e., for the F.E.C. No basic change should be
made until the peace treaty is signed and the opportunity should
be taken to stress the need for early treaty. [2]
