C. Japan
1. Points for possible emphasis
a.
We intend to proceed promptly to the conclusion of
a peace settlement with Japan and will not let
Soviet or Chinese Communist disagreement hold it up.
b.
We shall try to get Japan into full membership in
international organizations as quickly as possible,
particularly in the specialized agencies of the
United Nations.
c. Since we must get Japan on a self-sustaining basis
as
soon as possible, we should free the energy and
resourcefulness of the Japanese themselves from
unessential restraints.
2.
Points as possible questions
a. As the Korean situation is wound up, will there be a
political problem in Japan if United States forces
return to Japan to resume the same role they had
before June 25?
b. How much further can we go now in turning additional
responsibilities back to the Japanese?
C.
What is the Japanese reaction likely to be to the
type of peace treaty we now have in mind?
d. On what general scale does General MacArthur think
United States assistance to Japan will be required
over the next two years?
D. Pacific Pact or Security Arrangements
Possible question for General MacArthur:

arrangement in the Pacific. Other governments have raised
the same issue. The question is being studied in Washington
but no conclusions have been reached. What are
General MacArthur's
