That Terms Rejected

The Office of War Informal
ton tonight issued the follow
ing statement:
"Various rumors that the
Federal Communications Com
mission has recorded a Tokyo
broadcast, or a Chungking
broadcast quoting Tokyo, to the
effect that Japan has rejected
Allied surrender terms are
without foundation. The FEC
has recorded NO such broad
cast.
"Another report, to the effect
that the Japanese war minister
has called on Japanese forces
to continue the fight, appears
to be a garbled version of an
appeal he issued to the troops
yesterday three hours before
Domei transmitted its surren-
der offer to the United States.
At that time he called on them
to fight to the last this holy
war for the defense of the di-
vine nation against Russia. 1t
should be noted that Domei re-
ported last night that the sur
render offer had been made by
a unanimous vote of the full
cabinet, including the war and

Hour of Victory Near
AS Japan Giuen Terms

But from a practical standpoint,
diplomatic authorities suggested the
new Allied proposal had merit. The
emperor is the constitutional head
of the government and 1t would
be easier for the Allies to, work
through him than anyone else.
In addition, he is chief OF the
army and navy solely responsible
for making peace.
Beyond that, he is the religious
leader Of his people-and the Al
lies have committed themselves to
establishing freedom of religion in
Japan.
The four great powers decreed
that the emperor must authorize
and ensure the signing Of surrend-
er terms by the Japanese govern
ment and imperial general head
quarters.
They said he also must command
all armed forces to cease opera
tons and give up their arms -
wherever they are located.
And he must issue any other or

require to give effect to the sur
render.
