Macarthur Speaks Out
For Unified Command

TOKYO, Oct. 16 tP).-Gen. Mac
Arthur today triumphantly an
nounced that the demobilization of
Japan's once great army and navy
had been completed, praised mag
nificent conduct" of American troops
and spoke strongly for a unified
American military command.
The supreme Allied commander,
in a worldwide broadcast, added that
defeated and devastated Japan
would need much time and great pa
tience from the entire world to "re-
store the dignity and freedom of the
common man" in the island empire.
Gen. Macarthur said that for the
first time American soldiers of the
occupation forces had given the ia
panese people an insight into "a free
mans way of life in actual action
and it stunned them into new
thoughts and new ideas"
Revolution, or more properly
speaking the evolution, which will
restore the dignity and freedom of
the common man has begun" he
said. "It will take much time and
require great patience, but if world
public opinion will permit of these
two essential factors, mankind will
be repaid.
Herein lies the way to true and
final peace"
Gen. MacArthur's broadcast was
described at headquarters as a dis
cussion of the military phases of
the occupation. 1t also was inter-
preted here as an answer to critics
who have charged the supreme
commander has been too soft in
handling the japanese.
Il know of no rehabilitation in
history, either in war or peace, by
our own or by any other country,
that has been accomplished so rap
idly or so frictionlessly," Gen. Mac
Arthur said.
More than 100000 japanese in
the home islands and outlying areas
have laid down their arms, Gen.
Macarthur said.
In contrast to some concepts that
have been advanced" the Japanese
Army was thoroughly defeated be-
fore its surrender, Gen. Macarthur
said.
THE victory was a triumph he
declared, "for the concept of COM
plete integration of three dimensions
of ground, sea and air. BY
thorough use of each arm in con-
junction with corresponding utiliza-
tion of the other two, the enemy was
reduced to condition of helpless
ness.
by largely avoiding methods in
volving separate use of the services,
and by avoiding methods of frontal
assault as far as possible, our COM
bined power forced the collapse with
relative light loss, probably unparal-
leled by any campaigns In history. y

it has declared war on Holland is
false and untrue. The reports are
