Seven Points in
Plan; Showdown
In Pacific Seen
TOKYO, Wednesday, Nov.
5 (AP) The foreign of
ficecohtrolled Japan Times
ana Advertiser published a
sweeping seven -point pro
gram today for the United
States "to make effective on
her own initiative" to ease
the Pacific crisis . in which
othvr sections of the press
bluntly said the time has come
for a final showdown.
"This is not the time, when
the Pacific is on the brink of
war, for Japan to make known
terms to the United States but
rather for America specifically to
cay what terms of settlement that
country intends to make toward
undoing its ' acts of aggression.
the newspaper said.
Boldly asserting that if the
United States does not "take the
right turn in the road she can
face the alternatives," the news-
' paper put forward its program
for the United States as follows:
"1. Stop all military and
economic aid to Chungking by
all foreign states and cease all
propaganda or military missions
to keep Chungking at war with
Japan. America could advise
Chungking to make its peace
with Japan.
M2. Leave China completely
free to deal with Japan and
therefore end hostilities and es
tablish economic cooperation.
"3. Stop encirclement o f
Japan by military, naval and
air bases and by economic bar
riers. Proceed no further with
military and naval movements
In the western Pacific under the
pretext of defense.
"4. Acknowledge Japan's co

This victory was attributed to a
