Addresses
Japanese People
The dispatch, rceorded by Asso
ciated Press in New York, “The
enemy has begun to use a new
and most cruel bomb, the power
of which can do damage indeed
incalculable in taking toll of many
innocent lives. Should we con
tinue to fight it would not only
result in the ultimate collapse and
obliteration of the Japanese na
tion, but also lead to total extinc
ion of human civilization. Such
being the case, how are we to
save the millions of our subjects
or to atone ourselves before the
hallowed spirits of our Imperial
ancestors? This is the reason we
have ordered the acceptance of
the joint declaration of powers.”

The terms of the Cairo declara

sovereignity will be limited to the
islands of Honshu, Hokkaido,
Kyushu, Shikoku, and such minor
island as we determine.
Jap military forces, after being
completely disarmed, shall be per
mitted to return to their homes
with an opportunity to lead peace
ful, productive lives. We do not
intend the Japanese to be en
slaved as a race, nor destroyed as
a nation, but stern justice shall be
meted out to all war criminals,
including those who visited cruel
ties upon our prisoners.
Tlu» Japanese government shall
remove all obstacles to a revival
and strengthening of democratic
tendencies among the Japanese
people. Freedom of spech, religion
and thought, and respect for the
fundamental human rights shall
be established.
Japan shall be permitted to
maintain such industries as will
sustain their economy and permit
the payment of just reparation,
but not those industries which will
enable her to rearm for war. To
this end, access to rather than
control of, raw materials will be
permitted.
Eventual Japanese participation
in world trade will be permitted.
Occupying forces of Allies will
be withdrawn from Japan as soon

CITY COUNCIL
HOLDS MEETING
The Nome Common Council
met Monday evening in the Coun
cil Chambers. Most of the busi
ness was only routine reports of
the various committees, although
and house numbers, headed by
The commitee on street signs
and house numbers, hedaed by
Councilman Robert Baldwin, re- j
ported the committee had decided |
to let the work drop for this year
and requesed the council to lay
the matter on the table until next
year. The reasons given for the
postponement were: first, that al
though the Boy Scouts had all the
signs and numbers ready there
would not be time this year to do
more than fifteen percent of the
job; and second, there were so
many unnamed streets, alleys and
dead-end thoroughfares it would
take up too much of the commit
tee’s time to draft the necessary
ordinance.
The housing of fire and police
equipment was discussed and the
new councilman, Carl Glavino
vich, was requested to contact the
Alaska Department Real Estate
Agency to purchase some sort of
a building suitable for the pur
pose.
Mr. Glavinovich was also ap
pointed Chirman of the Laws and
Ordinance Committee.

President Orders
Japs To Stop War
On All Fronts
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15— </P)
—President Truman last night
dispatched through Secre t a r y
Byrnes an order for the Japanese
government to stop the war on all
fronts. The dispatch was sent
through the Swiss government.
President Truman ordered the
Japanese government to “direct
prompt cessation of hostilities by
the Japanese forces,” and said
that General MacArthur, as Su
preme Allied Commander, must
be informed by the Japanese of
the effective date and hour for
hostilities to cease.
The President ordered the Jap
anese to send emissaries immedi
ately to General MacArthur with
information on the Japanese
forces and with full power to
make arrangements as General
MacArthur directs, for the formal
surrender, of the enemy. He also
directed the Japanese government
to stand ready to receive from
General MacArthur information
on the time, place and other de
tails of formal surrender.
