Abstract

When Japan Has a Treaty

Lattimore, Owen | August 4, 1951 issue

add to cart   close window

When Japan has a treaty and has recovered full responsibility in domestic politics and full freedom of action in foreign policy, a question arises as what kind of politics can be expected in Japan and what kind of behavior is expected in Japan's relations with other countries. The Dulles-drafted treaty is, in its main outlines, one of the most statesmanlike treaties ever offered to a recently powerful but overwhelmingly defeated country. Japan has become the kind of country with which the U.S. can have mutually profitable relations, a country that the U.S. need no longer fear and that might become a valuable and trustworthy ally.
