Swift and sure was Washington $
reaction that the Soviet decision
to fight once more, along with the
unwrapping Of the terrible new
weapon of atomic bombing, signl-
fies that Japan cannot long SUI
vive.
For not only are Russian legions
set to strike on the Asiatic main
land, but Russia's Siberian air
bases are available for loosing her
bombs on the nearby Nipponese is
lands.
Japan thus was all but cut off
the continent, with its rich supplies,
and the fastness from which she
might have hoped to prolong her
resistance.
Byrnes voiced a hope in FORM
al statement that 'the people OF
Japan will now realize that further
resistance to the forces of the ma
tons now united in the enforce
ment of law and justice will be
futile.''
Byrnes didn't call It an ulti-

set to work to get the word to the
Japanese people.
He disclosed that President Tru-
man had put it sqUarely up to
Russia at the Big Three confer
ence at Potsdam to team up again
