BRITAIN WORRIED
MACARTHUR’S ACTS ANTICIPATING PEACE CONCESSION TO JAPAN (10 a.m.) LONDON, July 4. “Growing concern is being shown in British circles over General MacArthur's policy in Japan,” says the Yorkshire Post in an editorial. “The suspicion is spreading that he is bent on writing the peace treaty in his own terms and that he is granting to the Japanese concessions which should be a matter for agreement between all the Allies and that Washington does nothing to restrain if it does not actually encourage him. “The Canberra conference in August, designed to frame an agreed policy towards Japan which Britain and the Dominions can follow together, certainly does not come too soon. It would be deplorable if the Allies meet at the peace table only to find that matters of importance to themselves have already been decided in Tokyo without their knowledge.”
