Alternative Destruction We call upon the government of Japan, to proclaim now the un conditional surrender 'of all Jap anese armed forces, and to pro vide proper and adequate assur ances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction. (2) Japanese "understanding."

Our Reply Was (3) U.S. attitude and immedl ate surrender steps. (This is what the Japanese said "yes" to tonight, along with all the Pots dam declaration.)

Mott said his own reaction to the hews of the surrender was one of "reverence snd gratitude; gratitude to men who made the victory possible, reverence and gratitude for men Who have lost their: lives in the struggle and to the Divine Providence who has guided this country in all ot its wars, as weU as in peace. ; Representation of Oregon at Finance Meet Unannounced - i, Governor Earl Snell said Tues day he does not yet know wheth er Oregon will be represented at senate finance committee hear ings: in Washington, D.
