BURMA-JAPAN TREATY
STATE OF WAR ENDED
(Rec. 8 p.m.) RANGOON, Nov. 6. Burma ,and Japan signed a peace treaty at Rangoon yesterday, officially ending the state of war which has existed between them for 13 years. Under the treaty, the result of more than a year’s bargaining, Japan will pay Burma the equivalent of £71,500.000 in goods and services over a period of 10 years. She also undertakes to invest 50,000.000 dollars in joint ventures between Japanese firms and the Burmese Government and people. The completion of the Burmese treaty leaves only Russia to make an official peace with Japan, although Indonesia and the Philippines have not yet ratified the San Francisco Treaty. Burma was not represented at San Francisco because she disagreed with the reparations arrangements being made tjjere. She would not even discuss a peace treaty until reparations were settled.
