6 Byrnes, pp. 217–218. It is interesting to note Mr. Byrnes’ statements that the USSR was originally opposed to including India in the membership of the Commission and that the British Government requested the inclusion of Australia on the Allied Council for Japan.

7 Report, p. 2, in which is stated that the Far Eastern Advisory Commission “was composed of representatives of Australia, Canada, China, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and the United States” and that “the Far Eastern Commission came into being, consisting of representatives of those powers which had been members of the Advisory Commission and a Soviet representative.” Thus no reference is made to India’s participation, although the names of India’s representatives are listed in the chapter on “Organization of the Commission” and in the roster of the present Far Eastern Commission personnel.

Eowe that the draft of March 6, 1946, “was entirely the work of the Government Section of Scap”; see Quigley’s article entitled “Japan’s Constitutions: 1890 and 1947, in The American Political Science Review, October, 1947, p. 874, footnote 12.
