IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APRIL 28, 1952
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
With the deposit of the United States ratification which
brings into force the Treaty of Peace with Japan, the state of war
has been terminated and Japan has been restored to a status of
sovereign equality in the society of free peoples. This great event
is especially gratifying to the Government and people of the United
States who have worked in close association with the Government and
people of Japan for its restoration as a prosperous and progressive
nation. This common effort has strengthened the essential bonds of
friendship between our two peoples.
The Treaty of Peace terminates the Allied Occupation of
Japan and with it the entire regime of control and opens a new era
in Japan's history. During the past six years, the Japanese people
and government have worked to build a democratic and peace-loving
nation with a sincerity and earnestness that has won them the respect
of the world. The Treaty of Peace affords Japan an opportunity to
make a great contribution to world peace and progress.
Japan takes her rightful place of equality and honor among
the free nations of the world at a time when Communist imperialism,
having already enslaved large areas and many unfortunate peoples, is
seeking to extend its system of tyranny and exploitation by direct and
indirect aggression. We are confident that the people of Japan are
alert to this danger and are ready and willing to play their full part
in meeting the common menace. For their part, the American people will
continue to work with the people of Japan to promote peace and security
in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations
Charter. To this end, simultaneously with the coming into effect of
the Treaty of Peace, the United States has exchanged ratifications
with Japan, and thus also brought into concurrent effect, the Security
Treaty between the United States of America and Japan.
