CLAIMS JAPAN IS U.S. TASK SOLELY

Received Fridav, 9.15 p.m. XEW YORK, Sept. 6. Mainly as tlie result ol! General MacArtliur's uncompromi.sing opposition, tlie Four Power Advisory rouncil in Japaii is "dving on ihe vine" says tlie Xew York Post correspondent in Tokio. Since its forrnation, tlie rouncil lias shown no real results and served only to exacerbate Russian-American relations, states the correspondent. (teneral MaeArthur, t h rough tlie rouncil, has let the. Allies know he did not welconie their sticking their noses into his business. His attitftde is that the Pnited States paid the de.arest price for Paeific victory, is still paying the most for the occupation and that other nations have little right to interfere. The rouncil has been the hattlegrouud for Russian and American ideolugies and the propaganda agency tor feeding t he Ja[)anese with both sides of political and econoniic questions. American oilicers claini (teneral MacArlhur's attitude is designed to drive the. Russinns from Japan and to wreck the rouncil. They sav the Russians are bringiiig in spies and trviiig to destroy the occupation by pronioting ComTiumism. They note that the Russian Knibassv stall' is live tinyis bigger than any other and that planes ahd ships from Russia always bring in unregistered Russians. All liiembers of the Council feel it is dying. They vvill not sav so openly for publication but have privately said so many times and in many ways.
