PARIS

A secret Japanese document captured at the
€nd of the Second World War, which sharply ex-
Poses [United States, occupation policies in Japan
and the preserit drive for a separate peace treaty,
has been revealed by Commander Edgar P. Young
in the current issue of the weekly Parallele 50 here.

Young, who is a former member of the British
Naval Command in China, revealed that the docu-
Ment containing secret instructions from the Jap-
€@nese Supreme Command to all its generals, was
found in Java after Japan’s capitulation. The docu-
Ment was sent to all Japamese generals several
Weeks before the Japanese surrender. Quoting its
Contents, Commander Young underlines their “grave
Significance for the present situation.” f

The document stated:

1—Japan is on the point of capitulation.

2—This capitulation must be: regarded as a tem- /
porary truce, which will last only five or six years,
when world war will be started again on a bigger
and vaster.scale.than .before, this.time between the
United States and the Soviet Union.

38—The United States will need the help of Japan

in this situation.

4—Battlefields will be in Manchuria and in the
Eastern regions of the Soviet Union.

‘Commander Young states that an objective poli-
tical analysis of developments in the Far East, par-
ticularly in Japan since the end of hostilities, proves
that the general political trend of this document has
been faithfully followed by American policy-makers
in defiance of the Potsdam Agreement and later
decisions such as the decision of the Far Eastern

‘(Commission regarding the demilitarization of Japan.

PEKING

Two proposals for a Japanese peace treaty now

lie before the world. One, the American draft, can
only lead to war. The other, the Soviet proposals,
are a guarantee of peace. China decisively supports
the Soviet proposals. This is how the authoritative
Peking People’s Daily comments on the U.S. draft

peace treaty with Japan (reportedly to be signed by the U.S. and
Japan. next month). and—the Soviet proposals contained in a_ note
handed to the U.S. ambassador in Moscow on May 7.

The Peking People’s Daily lists six major demands for conclusion
of a genuine peace treaty with Japan. They are:

@ Participation of tthe People’s Republic of China as tepresent-
ing 475 million people who “‘resisted Japanese imperialism for the
longest period and suffered most from Japanese imperialism.”

@ Jiclusion of all countries which formerly fought against
Japan.

@ Restoration of Taiwan (Formosa) and the Penghu Islands
(Pescadores) to China as set out at Cairo and Potsdam.

@ Provision against any resurgence of Japanese imperialism and
for ‘‘construction of a genuinely peaceful and democratic Japan.”

@ Provision for free development of Japan’s peaceful economy
without restrictions on “‘normal trade with othér nations.”

e In the Soviet Union, prices have been slashed,

consumer goods, and there is no fear of unem-
ployment and insecurity. In the West, it’s a
different story of rising prices, declining purchas-

ment, insecurity and war. (See story on page 10).
