United States coinage in 1944
was so great that it totalled more
than eleven and a half percent of
all coinage since 1792, according
to the Encyclopaedia Britannica
1945 Book of the Year. Pennies
were made largely from shell
cases with only a small amount of
virgin copper added to bring the
alloy up to legal standards.
Jap Surrender
Came Earlier
Than Expected
ABOARD USS SOUTH DAKO
TA, Tokyo Bay, Aug. 29—</P)—
Admiral Nimitz declared the Jap
surrender came earlier than was
expected and caught the Allies be
for they were “fully prepared” for
the surrender, thus it was some
thing of the same unexpected ele
ment as the Pearl Harbor attack.
Correspondents noted as they
talked to the bronzed fleet admi
ral in the cabin of his flagship.
Nimitz, who came aboard shortly
after arriving from his Guam
headquarters credited seapower
with paving the way for Nippon’s
sudden decision to quit. He said
one thing that should impress
every thinking person was that
the Island Empire, with its army
intact, a well equipped army with
a very large air force, but prac- !
tically no navy was brought to :
surrender before any land as- !
saults had taken place.
This was brought about by sea i
power. The sea power, spearhead
ed by our carrier borne aircraft, J
aided by the very excellent and
efficient work of our submarine ;
force. Our submarine force was i
the first in these waters in the |
early part of the war.”
_
Two early attempts to invade
Japan were frustrated. According'
to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Khu
blai Khan tried in vain to land on
the Island of Kyshu in 1274. In
1281 he sent a larger expedition
ary force of Mongols to the Jap
anese islands, but his armada was
destroyed by a typhoon.
