slstance on the Adrlatic front.
Yugoslav occupation of former

Washington that no unilateral set

be made in the wake of victorious

Premier ToIks at Special
Session Of Diet Opened
Personally by Hirohito
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Tokyo radio quoted Pre-
mier Baron Kantaro Suzuki
today as telling a specially con-
voked session of the Imperial
Diet that the enemy's boastful
talks about the unconditional
surrender of Japan mean Moth
ing but the outright death of
all 100,00o,000 people in this
country"
1--WE have no alternative but to
fight against this enemy" the Japa-
nese Premier was quoted in the
Domei dispatch.
Domei said that the extraordinary
Diet session, which will last through
tomorrow, had been ordered by En-
peror Hirohito in an imperial re-
script, and that the Emperor had
opened the session in person.
The Parliament is expected to ap-
prove an unprecedented bill trans
ferring practically all its powers TO
the Suzuki government.
Suicide Tactics Urged.
Navy Minister Yonai assured the
Diet the entire navy already has
been converted to special attack
suicide corps" and called on the en-
tire nation to prepare for suicide
tactics.
Suzuki's speech as reported in
the Domei dispatch recorded by the
Associated Press contained the usual
Japanese protestations of peaceful
intentions in Asia.
An Owl account said the an
nouncement that the Diet was con-
vened after a recess of several
months came suddenly, although
Japanese reports in the last two
days had indicated big political de-
velopments might be expected
Usually such sessions are preceded
by heavy fanfare from japanese
propagandists. The Owl account
pointed out that it was unusual for
the Emperor to appear in person
to open such a session.
Suzuki was quoted in the Domei
dispatch as saying that lin the
final analysis this war is one of lib
Grafton against the Anglo-American
scheme for wholesale and perma-
nent enslavement of East Asiatic
peoples"
Fully aware of this, Japan is
firmly determined to act in unison
with her allies" to obtain ultimate
victory, Suzuki said, adding that
Japan will not cease struggling
against any international settle
ment selfshly worked out for the
exclusive benefit of the strong pow
ers.'
Desires Friendly Relations"

Reports Of New Figure
Between IS and 40
Called Too Optimistic

The War Department said to-
day that there will be some re-
duction" in the present minimum
of IS points for discharge when
the new critical score determin-
ing eligibility for discharge is
announced next month, but the
reduction lis not expected to be
very great"
The announcement was made in
reply to news dispatches from Paris
reporting that the critical score will
be lowered we'll below rs points, but
above 40 points. The War Depart
ment did not specify today what the
new score for discharge would be,
but was not as optimistic as the
reports from the European theater.
A War Department spokesman
pointed out that the four new bat
tie awards-Ardennes, Central Eu-
rope and two in the Pacific-will
raise the score of thousands of men,
thereby cutting down the chances
OF a substantial lowering of the
overall score of discharge.

The War Department plans to re-
lease 100000 men over the next
year in all theaters, including those
discharged for medical reasons and
overage. Last year 100000 men were
discharged through normal attri-
ton. The surveys are being made
to determine how many men are in
each point bracket-that is, how low
the score can be fixed without max
ing more than about 100000 men
eligible for discharge because of the
points they have earned.

system will be until after an analysis
