The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1945-08-24

Having led American ground
forces back over the vast tracts
of the Pacific to the doorstep of
Japan following the gripping
blow at Pearl Harbor, General
Macarthur was designated to
accept the Nipponese surrender
along with representatives of
the other Allied nations.
Coming four days after To-
kyo's first offer to give up the
fight provided the emperor's
sovereignty were respected, and
three months after We day,
Japan's surrender was greeted
with wild enthusiasm through
out the U. S., which joyously
celebrated the end of the most
destructive and costly war in
history without waiting for
President Harry S. Truman's
official VI day proclamation.
In accepting the Allied terms,
Japan agreed to the total reduction
of its once proud empire, with hope
for the future based upon the Or
ganization of a free democracy
within the home islands Of Honshu,
Kyushu, Hokkaido and Shikoku.
Under the Potsdam ultimatum,
Japan must eliminate the influence
Of those elements which have en-
couraged conquest; give up Man
churia, Korea and other overseas
acquisitions; disarm all armed
forces, permit the revival of de-
mocracy and freedom of speech,
religion and thought; and submit to
Allied occupation of designated
points in the homeland until post
war security has been established.
At the same time, Japan was
promised an opportunity for orderly
development once a peaceful gov
eminent had been created, with re-
tention Of such industries as would
maintain its internal economy and
eventual access to raw materials
and world trade.
The war ended just as the atomic
bomb threatened the obliteration Of
Japan's SPRAYING industrial settle
nents, with Hiroshima and Naga-
saki already badly mangled by the
terrific blasts.
Packing an explosive force 10000
times greater than TINT, the atomic

foe, ardent and well disciplined,
willing to fight to the last cartridge

All through the war, the toll Of Jap

their defense.
Because of the close teamwork re-
quired in the overall operations, it
would be difficult to single out one
outstanding hero, though General
MacArthur's fiery stand against the
enemy In the early stages of the con-
flict and his later redemption Of

RECONvERSION:
Nest Job

With World War II finished, and
with the nations great armament
production due to be slashed, inter-
est mounted in the governments
program for switching industry
back to a peacetime basis and pro-
viding continued high employment.
Shortly before the cessation of
hostilities, President Truman called
in War Production Board Chieftain
Krug to go over plans for speeding
up reconversion to prevent large
scale rupture of the country's econo-
my after WI day.
At the meeting, it was deter
mined that the WPB was to con-
duct vigorous drive for the expan-
sion Of production of materials in
short supply to meet all demands;
limit manufacture of articles re-
quiring scarce materials; establish
effective control over material stock
piles to prevent speculative hoard
ing that would endanger the stabil-
ization program; provide priority
assistance to break bottlenecks that
might impede the switch back to
civilian goods, and allocate scarce
materials for lower priced articles
to keep costs down.
