IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APRIL 11, 1951
In view of the importance of concluding a Japanese peace
settlement, as recognized by the leaders of both political parties,
at the request of the President, John Foster Dulles, who is acting
as the special representative of the President in this matter, will
return to Tokyo over the coming week end for the dual purpose of
consulting with General Ridgway and Japanese leaders.
The President has made clear that it is the firm policy
of the United States Government to press forward to conclude a
peace settlement with Japan as soon as possible. The principles
underlying the treaty were set out by Mr. Dulles in his Los Angeles
address of March 31, 1951. They have been developed with the closest
consultation with leaders of both parties in both houses of Congress
and with General MacArthur, and have the full approval of the
President.
