Peace treaty issue But many difficult and potentially explosive issues remain to be resolved before Mr. Tanaka can achieve his stated goal of normal relations with Peking. China has repeatedly insisted that normal relations will be possible only if Tokyo recognizes Peking as the only government of China, acknowledges Peking's sovereignty over Taiwan and renounces the 1952 Tokyo-Taipei peace treaty that ended the formal state of war between Japan and Nationalist China. Japan could very handily recognize Peking and its sovereignty over Taiwan, many observers feel. But backing away from a peace treaty that has been ratified by established Japanese constitutional procedures and amounted to acceptance of the Nationalist govern ment's waiver of all possible claims for war reparations would involve a loss of face Tanaka By PETER J.
