DEMAND FOR WAR CRIMES TRIALS
REACTIONS TO NOTE FROM RUSSIA COMMENT IN UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, June 1. State Department officials said today that they believed the Russian demand, made in a Note to the United States, that the Emperor Hirohito and other Japanese should be tried as war criminals was designed merely to embarrass the United States in the FatEast by picturing it as a friend of war criminals. They said that the Note probably would receive no more attention from the State Department than the original Note on February 1. That Note had been ignored.
Russia had sent copies of the latest Note to Britain, Canada. Australia. Nev/ Zealand. India. Pakistan, France, Holland, Burma and the Chinese Communist regime.
