...nations of the non-Communist world walked one by one to a bright yellow modernistic table on the stage and, using gold pens, put their signatures to the peace treaty.

It regretted that "India is not disposed to join this united effort for peace," quoted Japanese Premier Yoshida to the effect that the treaty "reflects abundantly American fairness, magnanimity and idealism," and argued that no peace treaty is possible "unless the nations are willing to accept what, to each, may seem, imperfections...
