2nd Anniversary
Of V-J Day; Yet
No Peace Tretay

'By The Associated Press'
The greatest war in history came
to an end two years ago yesterday,
August 14. 1945, with the surren
der of Japan.
The surrender announcement
was made in a broadcast by Em
peror Hirohito. the earnest little
man whose powers have been
wiped away in these last years,
but whose people still treat him
with reverence.
General Douglas MacArthur is
in charge now, and from him yes
terday came a message to his oc
cupation forces reminding them
that "the victorious end of battle
became the beginning of an equal
ly vital campaign to secure the
peace.”
"We now enter the last phase in
Japan of this test of our strength,”
he added. "It is you men and wo
men. military and civilian, who
have composed the Allied forces
of occupation who are bringing
this task to a successful conclu
sion.”
The Socialist premier of Japan,
Tetsu Katayama, noted the anni
versary, too. He called upon his
countrymen to stress science, labor
if they would become a thorough
ly peaceful nation.
“We are now living in a war
«
devastated land,” Katayama said
in a statement. “We must clean
and level up this scorched earth
and build upon it an ideal nation
based on peace through the United
effort of all the people.”
The conquered Japan will be
opened tomorrow to limited for
eign trade, but the peace treaty
for which the Japanese yearn, is
still in the future. Preliminary
talVs may start shortly, however,
at the insistence of the United
States.
A call for a prompt peace was
made in a V-J day broadcast by
President Manuel A. Roxas of the
Philippine Republic. He said the
peoples of Asia “are clamoring for
speedy conclusion” of the treaty
and said it “is essential to restora
tion of mutually beneficial econo
mic relations and will provide a
stabilizing influence in this part

worry — the tropical hurricane
which dallied near Tampico, Mex

100-mile-an-hour winds might
sweep northward into the United

The Mexican storm, a major
disturbance, has centered near the ;
oil port 252 miles south of Browns

However, there w-as no immediate
indication that it w'ould strike

Except for the sweltering At- (
lantic States, scattered cooling j
showers or thunderstorms within
the past 48 hours had sent temper- j
atures back into the 80’s or lower
90’s over most of the midwest.
P. F. Sutton, federal weather
forecaster at Chicago, said soak

throughout the Ohio valley last
night from the Mississippi River
to the Appalachian region and
that they were expected to con
tinue today.
More scattered light showers
were expected in Minnesota and
eastern portions of the Dakotas,

Committee Will
Recommend Govt.
Public Airfields 1
WASHINGTON, l/P> — A Con
gressional committee returns to
Washington today from Alaska,
reportedly convinced that the*
United States should lose no time
developing commercial bases in
the Territory just a short distance
from Siberian Russia.
Rep. Leonard W. Hall iR.-N Y.)
who arrived ahead of the other
House interstate committee mem
bers who made the trip, said he
believes the group will recommend
prompt enactment of legislation
next year to build airfields at An
chorage and Fairbanks.
Such a bill already has been ap
proved by the committee, but the
House itself has not acted on :t. It
contemplates spending $13,00' ,000
for bases at the two strategic Alas
kan cities.
While the army has large land
ing fields at both Anchorage and
Fairbanks, Hall said, there are not
adequate separate facilities for
the large commercial planes which
already are making daily flights
to and from Alaska. •
A look at a map, Hall told news
men. demonstrates the importance
of Alaska from an aviation stand
point. Long-range planes can fly
from Alaskan fields to almost ev
ery important city in the world
via the Great Circle route.
Hall said the army has large
concent rations of long-range
bombers stationed in Alaskh and
is anxious to have exclusive use
of its own landing fields.
He added that committee con
versations with army leaders in-!
dicated that the war department
and the navy “are fully aware of
the strategic value of Alaska and
the necessity of keeping ourselves
strong up there.”
