Thia turn of events la the product of the west’s need for an Economically stable Japan in Asia U. S. reluctance to see any part of the aid it has poured Into sits anti-Coinrhunist bastion drained off in heavy Japanese reparations \ ; ' Ji Reparations, in short, have jjaken a back seat in Asia tp4he need for a strong pro-western Japan, and weakening Japan to build* up the nations .its armies occupied! in World War II doesn't fit in with jthat plan. The U. S. protected its position with Article) 14 in the San Francisco peace treaty stipulating that reparations payments must not prevent a "viable 'economy” -for Japan. ! ’ ! . 1 Indonesia and the Philippines,

-both 'occupied! by Japan a dscade ago, found thjs out when they presented with their reparations bill th|p year. Japan stood bj? the literal’interpretation of the peace treaty. ;As a, result, both governments suspended their negotiations,' and refused either to ratify the San Francisco treaty or to Resume normal diplomatic relations with Tokyo. ' * Though Jakarta and Manila have extended informal .feelers to resume the talks, officials here see np prospect as long as the positions of the reparations - claiming nations and Japan remain poles apart. . ■ - j This does not mean Japan is unwilling to pdy. The island empijre shipped machine tools, metalworking machinery and other cap-

ital equipment worth $32,000,000 from Japanese Amy and Navy arsenals to China, the Philippines, the Netherlands East Indies, Burand Malay between 1947 and 1949 as advance reparations. The Far Eastern Commission cancelled the program when it found much of the equpiment was being left to rust on the docks where it was unloaded. Since the San Francisco conference, Japan appropriated $56,000,00i» in this year’s national budget for payment of its foreign bond (Tebts and reparations, and plans to add to the fuijd in succeeding years. The $56,000,000 comes to less than one-half of one percent pf Japan’s national Income for fiscal 1?51. Japanese officials claim Ja-

pan can increase this sum, however, only by cutting down on its contributions to the U. S. security troops based here and the build-lip program of its own security forces. It; is anyone’s guCss when Japan will be in a position to tabulate all) claims and begin actual negotiations of sums to be paid to each creditor nation. Present indicatidns are that next year would be an optimistic guess. t A more likely prospect is that the United States or perhaps a group of western nations may be called in to arbitrate the claims in the interesjt of improved relations between Japan and its free Asiatic neighbors. Instead of cutting or topping shade trees, thin the tree top by
