PROTESTS AGAINST JAPANESE WHALING REJECTED BY U.S.
fltec. 11 a.m.) WASHINGTON, June 25. Diplomatic sources revealed today that the United States will reject protests by Britain, Aus- * tralia, New Zealand, and Norway, against permitting another Japanese whaling expedition to the Antarctic. American officials pointed out that the protesting nations were advised on June 9 of the Government decision, and General MacArthur was authorised to approve the expedition. Officials emphasised that the decision was of an interim and emergency nature. It did not constitute a precedent for the future, because provisions regarding Japanese whaling would be included in the Japanese peace treaty. The Secretary of State, Mr George C. Marshall, at a Press conference later, confirmed that the United States Government would adhere to the decision to send the expedition.
