Negotiations are under way for a British common- wealth force to participate. Varied Questions Questions submitted in writing beforehand by both Allied and Japanese correspondents covered a wide range, from the prime ques- tion of demobilization to MacAr- thur's position under the new four-power , control setup agreed upon in Moscow recently.

Asked®if failure of Congress to have a blueprint was responsible for failure to work out an orderly demobilization, he replied: “I don’t admit there has been failure to carry out a plan for| orderly demobilization. The War Department made careful plans and | accelelated demobilization over es- timates of last August and Sep- tember.
