MACARTHUR LINE • 169 between Korea and China. But that prompted an intervention by Chinese troops, who pushed U.S.-led United Nations’ forces back to the southern half of the Korean peninsula. Objecting to a cautious war policy decided on by the administration of President Harry S. Truman, MacArthur demanded the freedom to wage all-out war against China, even including the use of atomic weaponry. A defiant MacArthur was removed from his command by Truman in April 1951. Shortly thereafter, MacArthur returned to America. He addressed the U.S. Congress on 19 April 1951, ending his speech with the famous line: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.” Following a long career of military service, MacArthur entered the private sector to become chairman of the board of the Remington Rand Corporation. But, he did not quite fade away; he made political comments and was even wanted as a presidential candidate. He died at Water Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C., on 5 April 1964. MACARTHUR LINE. The MacArthur Line, designated by Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers Instruction Note (SCAPIN) 1033 in November 1945, was a boarded area of the sea inside of which Japanese fishing vessels were permitted to fish. SCAP established this line to prevent Japanese fishing vessels from overfishing as well as to protect South Korean fishing. In September 1951, the MacArthur Line was abolished with the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. In its place was substituted the newly created Syngman Rhee Line, created under a marine sovereignty declaration issued by South Korean President Syngman Rhee in 1952. Through this unilateral declaration by Rhee, South Korea claimed sovereign rights over all natural resources and fisheries that existed within the waters surrounding the Korean Peninsula. The MacArthur and Syngman Rhee Lines are closely related to the Tokdo–Takeshima island dispute between South Korea and Japan. SCAPIN 1033 indicated that, with respect to related areas or any other area, it was not the Allied Powers’ definitive policy concerning Japanese jurisdiction, international border, or fishing rights. Consequently, the Japanese government insisted that Takeshima Island was part of Shimane Prefecture in western Japan. On the other hand, the
170 • MACDONALD, RANALD South Korean government insisted that Tokdo Island (the Korean name for Takeshima Island) was under South Korean jurisdiction in accordance with the Syngman Rhee Line. Japan has refused to recognize the Syngman Rhee line, which Japan believes was abolished under the Japan–South Korea Fishery Agreement concluded in 1965. Nevertheless, the Tokdo–Takeshima island dispute continues to be an unresolved matter between Japan and South Korea. MACDONALD, RANALD (1824–1894). Born in Oregon territory then claimed by the United States, Britain, and Mexico, MacDonald was the son of a Hudson’s Bay Company executive and a Chinook Indian woman. He became fascinated with Japan and convinced a whaling ship to land him near Hokkaido in 1848. Captured by native Ainu and turned over to officials of the Tokugawa shogunate, Mac- Donald was sent to Nagasaki to wait for a Western ship. Technically, MacDonald was under arrest for breaking Japan’s sakoku (“national isolation”) policies, but was allowed to teach English to samurai interpreters in Nagasaki. One of the interpreters taught by MacDonald in Nagasaki was Einosuke Moriyama, who would later be an interpreter for many negotiations between the Japanese and American governments until the 1870s. MacDonald spent 10 months in Nagasaki and was then returned to the United States with some shipwrecked sailors. He spent the rest of his life as a wandering adventurer in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the Northwest United States. His autobiography, Ranald MacDonald: The Narrative of His Life, contains useful and interesting information about Japan and Nagasaki before the arrival of U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry.

The Maekawa Report, produced by the economic structural adjustment study group for international cooperation, was submitted to Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone on 7 April 1986. This study group consisted of 17 members and was chaired by Haruo Maekawa, former Governor of the Bank of Japan. On 23 April 1987, the special committee of economic structural adjustment in the Economic Council, Maekawa published another report (the so-called New Maekawa Report) that contained provisions for putting the first Maekawa Report into effect. Together, the two reports argued that
