After five years of hesitation it is about o decide whether or not to rat Ify the nuclear non prolific a Ion treaty. Japan signed the treaty five years ago this Mouth but Rali cation has bogged Down As a controversial matter. No major figure in japanese politics is Dold enough to say this country should acquire nuclear Wear is something that is current y anathema to the Public. But a number of conservative Fig ures feel Japan should not give up the option to acquire a bombs some time in the fun ure. Prime minister Takeo Miki and foreign minister Kiichi to Miyazawa mixed to Reaty to and publicly Coin advancing the ratification in n the current session of the National diet they Are currently running into Strong opposition from some segments of the ruling Liberal demo Ratic party. The outcome is much in doubt Miki and Miyazawa decided in a meeting recently to push ahead with the treaty Ratific i o n despite the opposition water in the Dayr party Vicc president and elder statesmen Etsusaburo Shiina the Man who picked Miki for the premiership three months ago Vas quoted As opposing ratification a this time. Former prime minister k a Cue Tanaka Miki s pc decks or also had promised publicly o push ahead with the treaty ratification. His plans were locked by opposition within he ruling party. The reason for the present urgency and a deadline of Orts is the International review conference of treaty signatories scheduled to begin in Geneva this May. The Japa Nese government and treaty advocates Are anxious for Japan to be a full fledged participant which would require ratification. A decision to move ahead on such a timetable would have to be approved in both the ruling parly and the Cabinet by mid March. If ratification now is disapproved chances for it would be poor in the future.

Embassy official said Here however present changes for ratification seem somewhere Between dubious and some of the opponents of the treaty Are saying the . Does t really care much about the Issue despite its Public position. . Failure to strongly and immediately condemn in Dia s nuclear test last year which seemed to open the Way to the spread of a weapons is cited As evidence of Ameri can unconcern. So is president Nixon s offer of nuclear technology to Egypt and Israel neither of which has forsworn nuclear weapons via the non proliferation treaty. The Japa Nese government and evidently the . Embassy had no Advance notice of the Nixon offer. According to qualified sources the . Worked be Lind the scenes to arrange an inspection and safeguard agreement acceptable to Japan on the part of the International atomic Energy Agency. This agreement was concluded Early this year and lacks Only a final japanese go ahead for formal approval by the Geneva based organization. Japanese industrialists fear failure to ratify the nuclear treaty Codd Hurt Japan s ambitious plans for peaceful development of nuclear Power due to hesitation on the part of technology supplying nations. The Japan atomic Industrial forum is expected to announce a stand for ratification soon in a statement by Toshio Doko chairman of the powerful big business federation. Be Klaren. Because of this country s famous nuclear bomb allergy As the Only nation Ever to suffer atomic attack the ratification debate has centred on technicalities and secondary issues rather than More serious questions of Japan s ultimate expectations and intentions. There is no doubt Japan s decision in the weeks to come will cast a Shadow Over atomic future and on other nation s perceptions of that future matter which Way the decision goes. Phoenix Ariz.
