PEACE IN FAR EAST

ADVICE TO U.S.A.

RENEWAL OF TREATY

(Received July 6, 2.15 ,p.m.)

CAMBRIDGE (Massachusetts), July 5. The Australian, Mr. H. IJuncan Hall,

lecturing at the Harvard Summer School, said that the greatest contribution that the United States could make to freedom and peace would be to throw, her weight into negotiations

for a stable settlement in the Far East and on the Pacific, and detach Russia

and Japan from the Rome-Berlin Axis and win their co-operation in a farreaching peace plan based on mutual concessions. ,

Mr. Hall added that uncertainty about the fleet's disappearances in,the Pacific was the best feature of American policy but it could not be repeated long unless the Powers felt that American diplomacy was more purposeful. Japan realised her economic vulnerability and was therefore interested in gaining by diplomatic pressure rather than by conquest. .

Mr. Hall suggested the renewal of the treaty between U.S.A. and Japan, the re/noval of the immigration ban, and the recognition of Manqhukuo, in all of which the fullest co-operation of the Empire could be counted upon.
