The Japanese Treaty
(Part Three)
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA)—The six questions on
the proposed Japanese peace treaty which Russian
UN delegate Jacob Malik left with U. S, Ambassa«
dor John Foster Dulles at their second meeting in
November, 1950, were extremely tricky.
The first pointed out that the Allied powers in
January, 1942, had agreed not to make a separate
peace with axis countries. Did the United States
now intend to go ahead with a separate treaty?
Dulles’ answer to this and the other Russian
questions was that the 1942 agreement covered
hostilities. At this time, the United States did not
concede to anyone the power to veto a treaty with
Japan.
At Cairo and Potsdam it had been agreed that
Formosa and the Pescadores islands would go to
China. At Yalta, Sakhalin and the Kurile islands
had been given to Soviet Russia. Malik’s second
question:
* * *
What was the meaning of the U. S. proposal to
leave these islands to settlement by the U. S., Bri
tain, Russia and China within one year, or to throw
the problem into the UN General Assembly if
agreement were not reached by the Big Four pow
ers?
The Formosa question had been before the UN
that Fall. This created a precedent for the pro
posal, Dulles said. But all territorial matters, it was
pointed out, were subject to final treaty settlement.
Thirdly, Malik questioned the basis of the U. S.
proposal for American trusteeship over the Ryukus,
since that issue had not been covered by the Cairo
and Potsdam agreements,
Dulles’ answer here was in effect the same as be
fore. This was the U. S. proposal. Period.
. 8 9
On a fourth point, the Russian asked what plans
had been dratted for withdrawal of the U. S. troops
from Japan within a fixed time after signing of the
treaty.
The original seven points proposed by Dulles
merely stated that the United States and Japan
would settle the matter of future Japanese security.
This had been inended only as a first presentation
of the issue. Now Dulles had an opportunity to
elaborate on this ticklish subject.
He advanced the view that on conclusion of
peace, military occupation of Japan should cease.
The “new order of peace, security and justice,” en
visaged at Potsdam, could then come into exist
ence. Japan would be able to participate in the
United States and others in agreemrents for indi
vidual and collective security. This was guaranteed
to every nation under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
Up to this time, Dulles had planned to say noth
inz about this plan. Now it was marked for inclus
ion in the treaty.
.« 5 2»
Fifth, Malik asked if the U. S.-proposed treaty
would annual all restraints on Japan’s peace-time
economy.
The answer was simple. The treaty should not
limit the Japanese peace-time economy nor deny
Japan access to raw materials, said Dulles.
Finally, the Russians pointed out that Red China
had fought Japan and asked what was being done
to determine Chinese views.
Dulles replied that the pact was being negotiated
through diplomatic channels, and the United States
had neo relations with the so-called People’s Re
public of China.
® * *
This was the way matters stood when Dulles and
Malik had their third meeting, at Malik’s house,
January 13, 1951. Dulles had just been appointed
special representative for President Truman, and
was to leave soon for Japan. He wanted to explain
clearly there were to be no secret negotiations,
Malik never made any comment on this explan
ation. He did ask Dulles why he had been talking
to the Indonesians and Ceylonese about the treaty,
but not to Communist China,
Dulles replied in effect that Malik knew very
well why the United States was not talking to the
Reds. Then he said there was nothing in the treaty
Red China could take exception to.
The conversation jumped around. Malik said he
had read that the U. S. intended to rearm Japan.
Dulles teld him that wasn’t true but asked, “Do
you want Japan to remain defenseless forever?”
- - *
Malik never answered. But he said Russia had
suffered from Japanese and German invasions,
while America had not. Dulles replied that the
United States wasn’t interested in the resurgence
of militarism. But if arms limits were put into the
treaty, other nations would have to be prepared to
enforce them. And nobody seenved eager for that
job.
At the end of this third meeting, which got no
where, Dulles said he would tell Malik what hap
pened in Japan after he got back.
Malik said he had received no reply from

Two Fine Athens Citizens Who
.
Have Seen The City Grow
Messrs. C. D. Booth and John T. Saye are two of
our oldest citizens, the former having observed his
eightieth birthday and the latter his seventy-sixth
birthday anniversary within the last few days. Ap
propriately they were entertained by their sons, Mr.
Booth at a dinner and Mr, Saye at a barbecue last
Sfmday.
There are no stronger men in Athens than these
two. By coincidence they both are residents of the
same ward, the First, living at opposite corners of
the ward. Both have exerted a powerful influence
among their neighbors for mrany years and their
wisdom and advice has been useful.
Most of the growth of Athens has occurred dur
ing the lifetime of these two citizens.
Although they have retired from active pursuit
of their vocations, Mr. Booth as a merchant and
Mr. Saye as a contractor, we express the hope of
their families and friends that they will continue
for many more years to be at least observers, if not
actual participants, in the doings of their neighbors
and the development of the community both love.
Cloak and Dagger Murder
Mystery Has Curious Angles
An Italian court has decided definitely to seek
extradition of the two American officers whom the
Defense Departnrent substantially accuses of mur
dering a fellow officer in northern Italy seven
years ago.
The three men led an Office of Strategic Services
mission to contact Italian partisans behind the Ger
man lines. The two accused, Lt. Aldo Icardi and
Sergeant Carlos LoDolce, are alleged to have killed
their leader, Major William V. Holohan, in disa
greement over his conduct of their operations.
This bizarre case has many perplexing angles.
Against LoDolce stands a published ‘“confession,”
said to have been signed by him and witnessed by
two special agents of the Central Intelligence
Agency and a Rochester, N. Y., police officer. But
LoDolce now says that statement does not tell the
full story, though it gave many details of the al
leged killing,
Icardi denies any part in the major’s death. He
says if Holohan was murdered, it must have hap
pened after he was separated from the group. He
suggests the mrajor was shot by Germans who at
tacked the OSS mission.
Two Italian partisans who worked with the mis
sion have “confessed” to assisting Icardi and Lo-
Dolce, and they are soon to stand trial for murder.
The Defense Department said the mission took
SIOO,OOO with it, but Major-General William J.
Donovan, former OSS chief, insists the sum was
only $14,000.
Though LoDolce’s “confession” was taken a year
ago, the department withheld any account of the
story until now. It is not clear whether its release
was forced or speeded by knowledge that a maga
zine was about to publish it in detail. Last year an
Italian newspaper carried a version of it, but it was
not widely circulated.
In all the confusion and mystery, one thing
stands out: Holohan'’s body was found in Lake
Orta exactly where the two partisans said it had
been dumped in 1944. It was trussed in a sleeping
bag and there was a bullet hole in the head. Again,
these facts fit the partisan’s story.
They also fit the account allegedly given intelli
gence officers in this country by LoDolce. They do
not fit Icardi’s original suggestion, that Holohan
was killed by attacking Germans. It is unlikely the
Nazis would have troubled to dumrp the major’s
body, trussed and weighted, into a nearby lake.
Icardi and LoDolce are in a curious legal posi
tion. Out of the Army, they cannot be tried by
court-martial. Since the alleged crime occurred on
foreign soil, this country has no civil jurisdiction.
Only an Italian court can try them, but there is
some doubt whether under existing U. S.-Italian
treaties they can be extradited.
Both men have indicated that in any case they
would fight extradition. In this they may be making
a serious mistake. If they are innocent, as they say,
they should welcome a trial which is the only for
mal, sure manner of clearing their names. To comr
bat extradition weakens their moral position,
Icardi argues that the two were spies in an en
emy country at the time of Holohan’s death, and
that therefore they might get pretty rough treat
ment in Italy. That is doubtful reasoning, since Italy
today is tightly allied with the West and would be
unlikely to incur U. S. wrath by conducting an un
fair trial harking back to Mussolini’s days.
The alternative to trial for these two men is to
live out their lives under a permanent cloud of
doubt. It is hard to believe they would want that.
We get lots of propaganda from the “Conmittee
on Constitutional Government,” a name which, in
terpreted, means “we are opposed to taxes.”
Another organization has appeared on the scene.
It is called the “Wage Earners Committee of Am
erica.” Probably the only wage earners on the
committee are the paid executive secretary and a
publicity man. We don’t know the purpose of this
committee, but it has already conducted a poll, the
results of which are claimed to be favorable to Gen
eral MacArthur for President over General Eisen
hower,
We expect now any day for the Democratic Nat
ional Conmittee to drop the “r” and call it “Daft

Weekly Bible Lesson
Christianity And Racial Prejudice
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D, D,
Discrepancies and inconsist
encies are common among mor
tal men, but it is doubtful whether
any discrepancy and inconsistency
is deeper, persistent, and more
widespread than that between the
racial and color-line prejudices
and the plain teacning of the New
Testament,
The Christian Church begen
when the Master gathered around
him the first disciples, but the Day
of Pentecost has been commonly
regarded as marking the beginning
of its world organization (Acts 2).
It was a racially conglomerate
mass of people (Acts 2:9-11), who
heard Peter that day, and experi
enced the outpouring of the Spirit.
There was no racial prejudice
there.
Racial and religious prejudice
soon met a testing time. Only a
great vision convinced Peter that
he should not call what God had
cleansed “common and unclean”
(Acts 10), and an angelic message
led Philip to the baptizing and
welcoming in to the Thristian fold
of a black-skinned Ethiopian.
(Acts. 8:26-39.)
But even these incidents with
their plain teaching and implica
tions did not prevent various prej
udices among the early Christians,
as many passages in Paul’s Epistles
clearly show.
Greatest of all in the rebuke.of
racial and religious prejudice is
the example of the Master Himsell
in the famous incident of the meet
ing with the Woman of Samaria,
recorded in the fourth chapter of
Jobn’s Gospel. Read in the lighti
of its time and enviroment thati
story is remarkable in its revela
tion of how Jesus in His earthly
life lived above the prejudices, and
even the customs, of the time and
place.
The woman marvelled that Jesus,
a Jew, should have asked a drink

of her, for “the Jews have no deal
ings with .the Samaritans.” But
she might equally have marveled,
as did the disciples when they re
turned from the city, that Jesus
should have conversed with her at
all. For it was against the custom
for a man to meet and converse
with a woman in a public place,
The woman, moreover, was of none
too savory a character,
Yet Jesus treated her with cour
t~sy and kindliness. If He pressed
somewhat closely on her past and
present moral situation, it was
with gentleness of rebuke rather
than harshness; and it was to her
that He not only declared His Mes
siahship, but also uttered the
greatest word concerning the true
nature of worship that has ever
been spoken,
How is it that the example of
the Master has not been more
widely a model for all Christians
in their attitude toward their fel
lowmen? If early Christians failed
to rise always above prejudices,
perhaps it is not amazing that later
generations of Christians have
failed. But the discrepancy be
tween the preaching of the gospel
of brotherly love, to love one an
other as God has loved us, and its
actual praetice is very great, as
the most casual observer must
realize.
1t is a discrepancy which must
be eliminated.

Resign Tuesday
DUBLIN, Ga.,, Aug. 20—(AP)—
The co-directors of this city’s Civil
Defense program resigned yester
day with a blast at the weakness
of the Civil Defense program on a
national level,
Wilbur 8. Jones and Harold E.
Ward said in a letter to Mayor J.
E. Bedingfield they felt continuing
in their jobs would *“‘serve no use
ful purpose in view of the insta
bility of the program on a national
level and taking into consideration
the action of the House of Repre
sentatives in cutting the appropri
ation of $565,000,000 to about
$563,000,000.
“Our personal wviews are that
this appropriation is drastically in
adequate and that the action of
Congress is virtually scrapping the
Civil Defense program and is apt
to lead to our being a totally un
prepared nation in the event of an
all-our war.”
Jones and Ward had served on a
volunteer basis simce their ap
pointment in October 1950.
