Peace Terms

ly that the enemy note was “on
its way.”
Presidential Secretary Ross
made public a memorandum from
the Swiss Legation here shortly
after noon, EWT., saying coded
cables has been received in Bern,
“do not contain the answer await
ed by the whole world.”
The Tokyo radio at 12:01 p.m.,
EWT., said “The Japanese gov
ernment’s reply to the four pow
ers is now on its way to the Jap
Minister in Bern.
Several Hours in Swiixerland
A little later White House Secre
tary Ross told reporters that the
Jap reply was “now in the hands
of the Swiss. Ross said it probably
would take sveeral hours for the
Jap note to be decoded, trans
lated, recoded and forwarded to
the White House.
White House aides emphasized,
however, on the basis of previous
ly laid plans that V-J day could
not come until the latter part of
the week, and laid heavy stress on
the fact that Japan had not actu
ally surrendered until responsible
Jap leaders had signed on the
dotted line, probably an American
base or aboard an American war
ship.
The only basis for the report
that the Japs accepted the sur
render terms was word from the
Swiss which came in the middle
of the day and started off expec
tantly with radio reports from
Bern saying the Jap's framed an
swer was on its way to the Allied
capitals through Swiss neutral
diplomatic channels.
Message Not Surrender Offer
Secretary Ross announced to j
reporters earlier that Commodore!
Vardaman, the President’s naval!
aide, had talked with the Swiss
Legation shortly after seven a.m.,
Tuesday, EWT., and had been in
formed that the Swiss had re
ceived the coded surrender mes
sage in Bern. But when the leng
thy coded message received by
Jap officials in Bern had been de
coded it proved to be something
other than the surrender reply.
Swiss officials there quickly in
formed Washington of this fact.

President Announces Acceptance
President Truman made this
statement “I have received this
afternoon a message from the
Japanese government in reply to
the message forwarded to that
government by the Secretary of
State on August 11.
“I deem this reply a full ac
ceptance of the Potsdam declara
tion, which specifies uncondition
al surrender of Japan. In this re
ply there is no qualification.
* “Arrangements are' now being
made for the format" signing of
the surrender terms at the earliest
possible moment. General MacAr

“The proclamation of V-J Day
must wait upon the formal sign
