f The agreements with Japan which appear in this publication are those which were in force on 7 December 1941. When a peace treaty is drafted it will probably contain a provision similar to article 44 of the Treaty of Peace with Italy, which entitled each of the Allied and Associated Powers to notify Italy of those pre-war bilateral treaties it desired to keep in force or revive. Consideration will then be given to determining which of these agreements will be revived.
