WASHINGTON, (AP) The U. S. intends to keep troops in Japan for many years after the end of the Allied occupation.
Diplomatic authorities said that decision has been reached by officials who, in trying to draw up a draft of a Japanese peace treaty, faced this tough problem:
How can Japan be given full political independence, while still keeping some protection against a growing communist menace in Asia?
With their decision on this and other touchy matters, state department planners have reached an advanced stage in their efforts to whip into shape a treaty of peace with the former enemy nation.
The next step must be consultation with Britain and other nations. U. S. planning has progressed far enough so that secretary of state Acheson will be able to assure British foreign minister Bevin in Paris this week of U. S. readiness to start such talks in the near future.
