DELAY OF JAPAN’S PEACE TREATY

LONDON, October 3.

Britain has determined on a new approach to the problem of the Japanese peace treaty, said a Foreign Office spokesman to-day. He refused to give details of the new' approach, but it is believed the policy was drawn up in conjunction with the United States at the recent Washington talks. One of the main difficulties has been that the Soviet wants the treaty discussed only among the Big Five Foreign Ministers. Britain, however wants the Commonwealth nations who fought against Japan included in the talks, as well as members of the Far Eastern Commission.
