There" has been' ho' decision
yet on combining the army and
the navy in peacetime, he said.
The president's declaration
that Japan will have no chance
to obtain revenge for Its defeat
came in response to a reporter's
question.:
The reporter said most Jap
incse radio pronouncements
lince acceptance of the surrender
terms seem to indicate the Jap
anese are planning a military
come-back in the future.
- Usual FUng
Nearly every defeated people
lelt that way about it, the presi
dent remarked. But, he added,
he did not think the Japanese
ever would have a chance to ob
tain revenge, .
There was nothing, the presi
dent added, likely to come out
of this that the reporters would
have to break an arm for in
getting to the telephone. Some
white House reporters have been
injured recently in scrambles to
break war news.
When a reporter asked what
was to be done with the three
large plants that make up the
Manhattan project where the
major work is done in produc
ing the atomic bombs, the presi
dent said that its up to congress.
Atomic Uiei
In the long run, he said, the
atomic energy developed for use
in these devastating bombs can
be employed for the welfare and
benefit of the world instead of
Its destruction.
He hoped, -the president said,
that congress would cooperate
in peacetime development of the
atom splitting project. He said
the work is continuing mean
while until congress makes a
decision. Previously Mr. Tru
man had urged congressional
establishment of a commission
which would control production
of atomic energy and direct its

The president reiterated (hat
V-J Day will not come until the
Japanese surrender is officially
signed. That surrender won't be
complete, he added, until an
estimated 2,000,000 Japanese lay
down their arms.
Discussing foreign affairs gen
erally, the president said there
had been tulk at the Big Three
meeting in Potsdam of the
Korean situation and it was his
belief that the Cairo declaration
which ultimately would make
Korea a free and independent
state would be carried out.
There was no talk at the Pots
dam meeting, he said, of the
future fate of Hong Kong, Brit
ish crown colony which was
seized by the Japanese early in
the war.

And through it all ran solemn
statements like these: '
From Reconversion Director
John W. Snyder: 'The greatest
single danger to an orderly re
conversion lies in the threat of
inflation. We cannot and must
not repeat our folly after Worm
War I."
From Price Administrator
Chester Bowles: "After World
War I, economic fumbling de
layed orderly peacetime recon
version for more than two
vears ."
From Stabilization Director
William H. Davis: "We cannot
afford to risk an unstable, ruin
ous economy such as we had aft
er the last war."
Then Davis, broadcasting last
night with Snyder and otner of
ficials, recalled what happened
after Armistice Day in 1918:
Price controls were dropped.
In the next few months, as indus
try shifted, there was a short
lull. Prices sagged. The danger
of inflation seemed over.
Workers with new peacetime
jobs rushed to stores to spend
their savings. There weren't
enough goods. Storekeepers and
manufacturers started a "w i 1 d
scramble" to buy everything
the? could.
P r i c es skyrocketed. Then
came the collapse. People could
n't pay the high prices. Prices
crashed. Bankrupt businesses
numbered 110,000. Jobless peo
ple numbered 5,500,000. More
than 400,000 farmers lost their
farms. ;
Snyder, : terming the nation
"at the cross-roads," urged man
agement, labor, farmers and gov
ernment to work together with
the same, spirit that enabled
them to wln-the war. " . .'

Cites Criticism
-The chunky, 70 -year -old
statesman declared that "there
are voices which assert that the
atomic bomb should never have
been used at all."
But, he added bluntly:
"I cannot associate myself
with such ideas. Six years of total
war have convinced most people
that, had the Germans or the
Japanese discovered this new
weapon, they would have used
it upon us to our complete de
struction with the utmost alac

Cheers sounded from both

Admiral Nimitz disclosed 133
warships made up the allied
naval force which knocked out
nearly 3000 Japanese planes and
more than 1600 vessels around
Japan in the last 10 weeks of
the war.
The greatest British East In
dies naval and carrier force was
on its way to hammer the ap
proaches to Singapore when
halted by Tokyo's capitulation.
The southeast Asia command
said Japanese commanders
would face the firing squad if
they didn't hand over military
installations intact.
Admiral Nimitz indicated the
formal surrender might take
place aboard his flagship. Ma
nila dispatches had indicated the
surrender would be at Mac
Arthur's headquarters.
Jaoan'i once swaggering
Kwangtung army headquarters
appealed to the soviet forces to
halt their conquest of Man
churia. Tokyo reported the puppet
government at Nanking in oc
cupied China "is being dis
solved." It would be the first
Tokyo-controlled government to
fold up.
Shortly after the mikado's
"cease fire" order was reported
issued, Admiral Nimitz disclosed
that more than a million tons of
fighting ships made up the great
allied sea force which roamed
the shores of Nippon from July
10 until the mikado capitulated.
Score Told
An undisclosed number of
supply ships operating in the
rear made it possible for these
forces to continue sending their
1500 planes against Japan up
until the last minute. After they
had been told the war was over
Yank airmen shot down 26 ene

On the last day they knocked

more havoc with transportation,
which Tokyo said was so badly

to. evacuate its bomb-burned

While the theoretically ended
war was tapering off on land
fronts, China showed signs of
renewing her' pre-war conflict
between Chiang Kai-Shek's na

Both have their eyes set on
occupying north China. The
communists' - announced - their

unofficial reports said they were

Advantage
The advantage to the union
of such a provision is regarded
as especially important at a time
when large numbers of men may
soon be expected to be seeking
jobs, such as returning service
men. If union shop is in force,
these men would be forced to
join' the union to continue on a
job. If it is not in force, non
union and anti-union men might
soon get into many jobs.
Company spokesman, refer

out their reluctance to take a
step forcing these men to join
unions to obtain or continue on
jobs. ' ' ...
