MACARTHUR POLICY IN JAPAN IS RATIFIED BY ALLIES
TOKIO, July 12.
The Supreme Commander (General MacArthur) today said that a policy decision on Japan announced by the Far Eastern Commission ratified all the actions he had already taken in. Japan, and signified complete unity of purpose among the 11 nations and peoples concerned. General MacArthur added that two insidious concepts, poles apart but equally sinister, had been rejected—one which would seek harsh, unjust treatment of a fallon foe, and the other which would seek partially to preserve and perpetuate institutions and leaderships which bore the responsibility of war guilt. The first of these concepts would have produced a mendicant country, dependent upon charity to live, while the second would have encouraged the regrowth of anti-democratic forces.
