EXCERPT FOLLOWS:

Instead of arranging a conference of interested states, [John Foster] Dulles traveled from capital to capital, negotiating changes in the State Department draft, until he possessed a text which a large number of governments had more or less committed themselves to accept. With this done, the United States and Great Britain could jointly invite 52 states to send delegates to a conference in San Francisco. The delegates were simply to accept or reject the draft treaty; they were not to amend it or negotiate changes in it. With the U.S. secretary of state in the chair, Soviet efforts to upset this arrangement were frustrated. The conference convened on September 4, 1951, endorsed the text on September 8. Of the 49 participating governments, only 3—the Soviet Union, Poland, and Czechoslovakia—refused to sign it.

Under the treaty, Japan renounced all claim to Korea, Formosa and the Pescadores, the Kuril Islands, Southern Sakhalin, the Pacific islands that it had held under League of Nations mandate, the Spratly and Paracel islands in the South China Sea, and any portion of Antarctica. Japan agreed that the United States should hold as sole trustee for the United Nations the Ryukyu Islands, the Bonin Islands with adjoining groups, Marcus Island, and Parece Vela. The treaty provided that Japan should refrain from the threat or use of force in relations with other states but also acknowledged “that Japan as a sovereign nation possesses the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense referred to in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations and that Japan may voluntarily enter into collective security arrangements.” Though it did not stipulate any particular sums to be paid in reparations, the treaty bound Japan to negotiate with individual Allied states arrangements to compensate them for damage and suffering resulting from the war.
