COMMENT FROM MOSCOW
“Japanese People Swindled”
(Rec. 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON, September 15. Moscow is waging a campaign to persuade the Japanese people that they were swindled when their leaders signed the Peace Treaty at San Francisco. A Moscow broadcast beamed to the Far East in Japanese charged that the United States used “threats and impudence” to get the Treaty signed. Instead of bestowing independence, it said, the Treaty merely made Japan “a tributary to the United States.”
By way of contrast the broadcast said that the peace proposals advanced by the Russian delegate (Mr Gromyko) called for real independence and the complete democratisation of Japan. One Moscow broadcast this week charged that the Prime Minister (Mr Yoshida) was connected with United States monopolists before the war, and now received big bribes from Japan’* monopolistic concerns. The broadcast said that the Japanese delegates to the Treaty conference were capitalists or feudal landlords.
