MR ACHESON’S VIEWS
WASHINGTON, August 31. The Secretary of State (Mr Dean Acheson) said to-day that the Japanese peace conference would “provide a test for those nations that really want peace and those that do not." Mr Acheson made this statement before leaving with 48 other members of the United States delegation, by special aeroplane for San Francisco. Mr Acheson added that he was confident the vast maority of the nations attending the conference would sign the treaty as a "signal demonstration of the desire of all free peoples for peace and freedom,” Mr John Foster Dulles, who took a «ad in drafting the treaty terms, said: "The treaty will be solid against anything but a direct frontal attack by •ome great nation deliberately bent on Parting World War 111. We do not want to believe that any nation has so •’ll and reckless a design. Therefore w® go to San Francisco in a spirit of hope and confidence.” President Truman will fly to San Francisco on Mondav to address the opening session of the treaty conference on Tuesday night.
