The Secretary of State to the United States Political Adviser to SCAP (Sebald)
Topad 1848. For Allison from Dulles. Reurtel 2255, June 28.1 It is present assumption as working hypothesis Peace Treaty and bilateral security treaty will not come into force prior end Korean hostilities. [Page 1165] If, however, conditions next year seemed to make desirable put peace treaty into effect prior ending hostilities consideration wld be given to consummating arrangement with Jap along lines of previously discussed addendum2 providing for continuing use of Jap facilities. In this connection consideration wld surely be given to position of other Allied Powers participating in hostilities. It can be assumed that govts of Allied Powers whose troops are actively participating in Korean hostilities wld consult to prevent timing of treaty coming into force which wld embarrass common effort. Foregoing your background for informal and strictily confidential discussions with friendly Allies who raise questions as reported in urtel. [Dulles.]
