| Description: | War's End: 48 Nations Sign Peace Treaty with Japanese. The Pacific War comes to an official end, six years after, as forty-eight nations sign a peace treaty with Japan. Russia's Andrei Gromyko and his Communist stooges walk out after taking parliamentary beating from the Allies. Delegates join in San Francisco's Opera House to sign pact. Delegates from Canada (Lester Pearson), France (Robert Schumann?), and England (Herbert Morrison) are shown signing. U.S. Secretary of State Acheson signs, then Japan's Yoshida. Another location (Presidio?): Acheson speaks (nat sound), says Japan will increasingly defend itself and join collective defense of "the free world." Handshake - Acheson and Yoshida ? | |
