Destruction Alternative The universal belief that Japan quickly would accept the terms laid upon her was based on the fact that her only alternative would be destruction. The Allied reply brusquely and clearly stated that: 1. Emperor Hirohito will be employed by the Allied commander comman-der as an implement for putting in effect the Potsdam surrender terms. If the Japanese want to keep him on the throne, that will be theirdemocratic privilege. 2. Ail Japanese sea, land, and air forces will cease operations and surrender their arms. 3. Immediately upon surrender the Japanese government will transport all prisoners of war and civilian internees to places of safety where they may quickly be put aboard ship for home. 4. Allied forces will occupy Japan for as long as necessary to demilitarize her. completely, punish pun-ish her war criminals, and make certain that she never -again threatens the peace of Asia and the world. Byrnes set forth these points in four terse paragraphs which even now are being beamed to the Japanese. For many hours after Tokoy's broadcast surrender offer, the Japanese people were kept ignorant of the fact that it had been made. The OWI.is now dispelling dis-pelling that ignorance. Emperor Held Responsible "The Emperor," Byrnes' message mes-sage said, "will be required to authorize and ensure the signature sig-nature by the government of Japan and the Japanese imperial general headquarters of the surrender sur-render terms necessary to carry out the provisions of the Potsdam declaration, and shall issue his commands to all. the Japanese military, naval and air authorities and to ati forces under their con trol wnerever located to cease active operations and to surrender their arms, and to issue such other orders as the supreme commander Dishes wash themselves?

"The armed forces of the Allied powers will remain in Japan until the purposes set forth in the Potsdam declaration are achieved. achiev-ed. It was in the paragraph on the ultimate form of . the Japanese government, to be established "by the freely expressed will of the Japanese people," that the priv ilege of keeping the emperor as an institution was held out to the enemy. No Sovereignty Granted ' It was a privilege considerably less broad then the one asked in the""- Japanese surrender offer. They had asked, in effect to keep the emperor as a completely sovereign ruler. The allied note made it clear that the real sovereignty sov-ereignty for the period of occupation occupa-tion will be exercised by the supreme allied commander. And the Potsdam and Cairo declarations the Allied documents doc-uments setting forth the fate of Japan make it clear that democ racy, not totalitarian rule, is the allied design for Japan. How speedily Japan's formal surrender will become a fact depends de-pends on many factors: The speed with which the official note is transmitted, the time it takes to assemble the participants in the surrender ceremonies at the place where they will take place, the time consumed in preparing the surrender and signing the surrender sur-render instruments. The original Japanese bid ar rived here about 11 hours after Friday morning's Tokyo broadcast. broad-cast. Assuming that Japan promptly accepts the allied terms and the official belief here is that she will the act of surrender may be completed well before next week has entered into history. It was the general belief, how ever, that If Tokyo radio announces an-nounces acceptance sooner, and if Japanese resistance ceases, an unofficial un-official armistice could become effective over the week end. That remains to be seen; the al lies are poised to keep striking for as long as necessary. From July 1, 1940, to Aug. 8, 1943, the United States alone had spent about $300,000,000,000 for war a little more than one-third one-third of it, roughly, on the Pacific Pa-cific war. Since Japan's act of, treachery at Pearl Harbor, the United States has suffered - nearly 275,-000 275,-000 casualties in exacting revenge and retribution. Neither the United States nor any of the other allies intends to waste expenditures in men and material of that magnitude. Should the Japanese warlords inexplicably in-explicably turn balky now, there would be more atomic bombs, and more of the other assorted kinds of disaster which the allies have at their disposal. But so certain are officials here that the war is for practical purposes pur-poses over that they have begun already to prepare for peace. This attitude was shared in the other Allied capitals.

Continue Bombing (In Manila, the Far Eastern air forces continued bombing and strafing attacks against enemy targets, and thousands of soldiers convinced after a celebration that the war is not yet over went back to work.)

The London Daily Mail reported MacArthur probably will be appointed supreme su-preme allied commander to direct di-rect occupation- of Japan. There was jubilant reaction here to the news that Secretary of State James F. Byrnes had informed in-formed Japan that the emperor and Japanese government will be subject on surrender to the allied al-lied supreme commander. Guam's radio station broadcast the text of Byrnes statement and afterward blared the musical selection se-lection "Pistil Packin Mama" which has for its second line, "lay that pistol down." Servicemen Service-men joyously ' regarded the Byrne's statement as another decisive de-cisive step toward quick Japanese surrender. It was disclosed officially that the atomic bomb which blew 30 per cent of Nagasaki from the coastline of Kyushu Thursday made obsolete the first one dropped drop-ped on Hiroshima three days earlier. Brig. Gen. Thomas Farrell, Albany, N. Y., chief of the Marianas atomic bomb project, pro-ject, said the type of bomb used against Hiroshima was discarded in favor ef the Nagasaki type, which achieved achiev-ed results described as 'almost 'al-most beyond belief." Technicians at a secret B-29 base assembled more of the Naga-saki-tyoe bombs for possible additional ad-ditional pulverization assaults. Atomic specialists here vere working on the assumption the bombs will be used again. So powerful was the second atomic bomb that almost a square mile of Nagasaki's built-up area, including all the highly - industrialized in-dustrialized waterfront district, virtually disappeared.

On account of the height of the explosion," he said "practic ally all of the radioactive products pro-ducts are carried upward in an ascending column of hot air and dispersed harmlessly over a wide area. Even in the (original) New Mexico test, where the height of the explosion was necessarily low (the bomb was suspended from a: steel tower which was instantly vaporized), only a small fraction of the radio-activity was deposited deposit-ed immediately below the bomb.' Another reason for exploding the bomb high above the target. it was said, was that the maximum Diast enect was inus ootainea against buildings and other struc tures in the target area., (Theater dispatches on the Nag asakl bombing said that, unlike the blasting of Hiroshima, a crater was left in the ground. It was not known, however, whether the Nagasaki bomb hit the ground before exploding.) Scientists who produced the atomic bomb said that,, theoretically theoretic-ally inefficient as it was, it was so much-. more destructive than ordinary bombs that comparisons were all but pointless. They estimated that one to 10 tons of explosive uranium, the element whose splitting atoms give the new bomb its power, would have done as much damage to German Industry In-dustry as the hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT dropped on the Reich by Allied Al-lied air forces. So awesome was the atomic bomb a foreseeable power, Smyth said, that many of the scientists who worked to produce it hoped at first that some principle would emerge which would prove the bomb was inherently impossible. Dr. Smyth set at rest popular fears that a conquered nation Germany or Japan might secret' ly.develop an atomic weapon with which to conquer its conquerors. Even before defeat, neither Ger many nor Japan had the necessary neces-sary resources to carry atomic bomb experiments through to suc cess, ne saio. As for the peacetime uses of atomic energy except as a deterrent deter-rent to aggressors--the consensus among Dr. Smyth's colleagues was that it will be at least another 10 years before it can be applied industrially.

Britain Plans 2-Day Victory Celebration LONDON, Aug. 11 (U.R Great Britain is expecting quick Japanese Japan-ese acceptance of the Allied peace terms made known in Washington, Washing-ton, and is confidently planning a two-day victory celebration for Monday and Tuesday. It is recognized that the Initiative Initia-tive in clinching the Japanese surrender is in Washington. British foreign office quarters give the impression of waiting for developments. .The British foreign, office tonight to-night issued the text of the Allied Al-lied reply to the Japanese peace offer. The text conformed with that issued in Washington. Informed sources said Britain will accept the appointment of an American as supreme commander in the Pacific without question, for British leaders recognize the dominant American role in the Pacific. The appointment of Gen. Douglas Doug-las MacArthur to accept the Jap anese surrender would meet with British approval, it was said, for he is best known here among American commanders in the Pacific.
