Filed in Lange work print file #23, with the following inscription in Lange's hand (black ink): 1951: Diplomats, S.F. Handwritten on negative envelope: "Sept 4, 1952 Street Demonstrations, beyond police lines. They march on street opposite the War Memorial Opera House Delegate fo treaty-signing On opening day of International Conference for signing of the Japanese Peace Treaty See clipping in envelope marked B" Newspaper article stapled to Proof Sheet Column 38 reads: One group, called The Loyalty League to Combat Communism in the USA, seemed to consist of men and women of Russian descent. Their placards aggrievedly accused the Soviets of acting in an un-Russian manner. "The USSR Is Not Russia!" one placard pointed out. The other picket line was maintained by The Fellowship of Reconciliation, a pacifist organization basing its objections to war on Christian principles. It passed out leaflets reminding people of the clause in the new Japanese constitution which until recently was much praised - the clause renouncing force of arms and the maintenance of a military organization. Also in the Fellowship of Reconciliation picket line - which seemed broad-minded enough to include just about everybody who had a gripe against anything - was an Indian carrying an anti-Pakistan sign and a Pakistan, carrying a placard denouncing India's "aggression" against Pakistan.
