竹島

＞なんでこの三島だけ例示したのか。

3島を放棄させるため。

＞地図で示せばよかったのだろうが、もめると思って止めたのであろう。
もめるといけないから三島を明記。それ以外は日本の主権を回復。

Mr. Allison said that the American View was that our defining of the Japanese boundaries would have a bad psychological effect on the Japanese and emphasize the contraction of their country. The Americans would prefer a wording which emphasized the full sovereignty of Japan such territory as we should leave her and, exclude by name from her sovereignty and only such territory and islands as might be necessary to avoid confusion.
