ALLIED PLANS FOR JAPAN
Avoiding Danger Of Starvation Bs Telegraph—N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright (Rec. 10.45 p.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 14. The United States are preparing for submission to Britain, the Soviet and China a p .liminary plan for the economic and political treatment of Japan which is strikingly similar to Germany except that Japan would be permitted to carry on limited trade with other nations, thus obtaining products vital to her sustenance, particularly
iron ore, coal and textiles. The Washington correspondent of the “New Work Herald Tribune” says the United States discarded proposals which contemplated placing an iron ring of military might around Japan, as it would have meant death for several millions from starvation and the whole population would eventually be undernourished. The United States also rejected a proposal for an economic blockade with rehabilitation agencies like UNRRA to supply internal insufficiencies. ' ■
The American plan for the political treatment of Japan requires complete disarmament, demilitarisation and the removal of all heavy industries.
