3507 REVIEW GRANTED The peace treaty signed by the U.S. and Japan at the conclusion of World War II does not pre-empt an action under California's recently enacted "slave labor" statute brought by a person who was a Korean citizen when he was forced to perform slave labor for a Japanese corporation during the war; the statute is not pre-empted by federal law and does not unconstitutionally infringe on the federal government's foreign affairs power; extending the statute of limitations on an existing but time-barred action does not violate due process.CitationTAIHEIYO v SUPERIOR COURT (Slave Labor) 105 CA4 398 [See: CCP 354.6; Zschernig v Miller 389 US 429; Sun Oil v Wortman 486 US 717; Deutsch v Turner 317 F3 1005; Mitsubishi v Superior Court 106 CA4 39, T/AT 3/03]
