Soft Nippon Pact Favored by British Commonwealth officials
London reports diplomatic officials favor a soft peace policy for Japan aimed at keeping it from alliances with Russia or Red China.

The US is seen as leading a future Japanese peace conference, pending decision on seating Chinese factions.
