Coldblooded power play at San Francisco peace talks
James Marlow portrays the San Francisco Japanese peace treaty session as a high diplomacy showdown where the United States presses its leverage over Russia. He argues the U S aims to secure a Pacific ally, keep Japan armed, and block Russian moves, while calling the meeting a rigged display with a time limit to muzzle the Communists led by Andrei Gromyko. The piece frames the talks as a broader cold war power struggle with a U S ring of armed allies surrounding communism.
