ABSTRACT

This chapter offers some observations on the practical questions that will come before the negotiators who will eventually meet the representatives of Japan at a peace conference. They are concerned primarily with the question of peace between Japan and the United States, but they are written in the conviction that the war will have been fought in vain if the victorious democracies do not lay the foundations of world peace. The suggestions that follow, though they deal only with Japan, can be fitted into the “larger framework “that Hoover and Gibson sketched in Problems of Lasting Peace.
