Wait and See Attitude Shapes U S Japan Security Rift
U S officials seek to minimize damage from Tokyo uproar over a new defense treaty while awaiting Japan's next moves. Prime Minister Kishi pushes ratification despite opposition plans to block the pact and topple him. Washington hopes ratification by the weekend will ease political turmoil and allow a sober reassessment of the alliance and base use. Ambassador MacArthur II may be recalled for consultations, but only after Tokyo stabilizes. The dispute centers on pacifist opposition and fears of renewed conflict, despite strong economic ties and U S trade broadly favorable to both nations.
